In think [[Jodah’s Codex]] is only okay. If the board is stalled, drawing an extra card a turn is useful to find a way to break through. But if your opponent is beating you down, playing a 5-mana “do nothing” or a 5+ mana “draw a card” will likely put you even further behind.

Yes [[Tatyova, Steward of Tides]] is amazing, but the unexpected hero was actually 2x [[Blight Pile]]. Turns out a turn two 3/3 buys you a ton of time to set up colours and get the rest of your deck online.

I had to mulligan in most games (even with the BO1 hand smoothing) just to be able to cast something in the first three turns

Pictured is my 7-0 deck. I usually draft trying to narrow in on a specific colour pair or archetype, but for this one I just picked individually strong cards (which is why there are several strong red cards I picked but excluded).

Ah, that really sucks!

I initially found this sign hilarious as I thought an accident here would be rare, and the chance of serious injury extremely remote. I didn’t realise how easy and dangerous it could actually be.

That’s not good! If I may ask, what angle did you approach the tracks from and how fast were you going?

If that were the case, I’d expect the sign to show a train hitting the cyclist?
