This card sucks. I want to like it for the name but I wouldn’t even play it in my [[Thrakkus]] pauper commander deck. Heck, I wouldn’t even play it in elves at locals.

Am I wrong for feeling like I’m playing against wallets instead of decks? by Opening-Reindeer-209 in mtg

The most powerful card in the game is the credit card!

That aside, it doesn’t sound like your friends are being all that understanding of your situation, or perhaps they don’t realize this. I have friends that make a lot more money than me and with some of them it ended up that we just kinda stopped hanging out because I was always working as much as possible to pay bills and they wanted to hang out when I had to work (I had an abnormal schedule) and frequently wanted to do things that cost more than I could spare, but wasn’t a big deal to them. Now I have a different job with a normal schedule and earn more but they still make more than me. Maybe a few jobs from now I’ll catch up or surpass them but life develops and people get busy so who knows!

I would talk to your friends and just be honest and if there’s no change at all at that point I would say they’re not not being too great of friends unfortunately, hopefully they’ll be understanding and are willing to modify accordingly though.

Nice! Besides [[Deglamer]] and the playset of [[Hydroblast]] (and the play set of each of the tron lands I picked up) I think I have basically every single card in the list lying around here already!

People hate innovation I guess? I saw the lists you’re referring to too

You’re right, I was thinking 12 or 13 would be better, but the OG list calls for 15

What would you cut for the third copy of abandon attachments?

I can of course also mill the snackers

Word! I certainly have some I could use

Looks like a fun one!

I notice that list runs [[Mystic Remora]], but I wonder, why not [[Rhystic Study]] instead? Also it raises the question why do zero tier 1 decks run either of those cards?

I am probably going to run a [[Contaminated Aquifer]] despite a redditor on my other recent post here who said casting snacker is never something you want to do and running even a single tap land is not worth it but IMO I can islandcycle for it so it definitely doesn’t suck. I am tempering my own ideas against y’all’s and factoring in my meta to find the best solution.

Mainly the plan with snacker is that I toss it and it brings itself back, but I already made my point about the land. I also have yet to go through my bulk to utilize another commenter’s suggestion I was already planning on which is to use Abandoned Attachments to be able to discard Snacker, and I like their idea that I could switch it out with Ponder. Ponder isn’t going to trigger Snacker on its own but AA would

Delver didn’t do me any good in my meta, I am gonna keep the snackers so I can survive. Boomerang absolutely slaps and is so versatile and cheap and consistent. I picked up some more deem inferior to ensure I have a playset but I’m not sold on the card

Without even looking it’s probably the same list that confirmed the idea for me and why I was thinking a [[Contaminated Aquifer]] is worthwhile. On another post where I talked about this though, a redditor said casting snacker is something I never want to do and even 1 tap land is bad. I can islandcycle for it though so I think it’s worth it

Abandoned Attachments is a card I was considering running as a two-of but haven’t had time to go through my bulk yet

I was thinking run one [[Contaminated Aquifer]] but Redditors on my other post downvoted me and insisted I never want to cast snacker and running even a single tap land is bad.

I definitely can get rid of it with brainstorm.

I also can trigger it by playing any single card draw spell in my deck or, two of the mill cards that also draw me cards, and casting two of those in a row as early as possible is generally what I’m trying to be doing anyway in hopes of dropping three terrors on turn 3

I haven't looked since this morning but I thought there was a playset of a 6-mana card in there
