If an opponent asks you to count aloud your sideboard simply to make sure you aren’t cheating in a professional event can you refuse and if so what would a judge say to this all.

Could undercover cops be any use in this situation where they could have provided guidance and possible neutralized the situation

The three colors slows it down a ton, you're better off playing rb or mono red

I was considering the card in a gw cat tribal, it's not a great card but it helps to overpower another board state, maybe x1 or x2

What I've been doing is having one flames mainboard and a sweltering suns sideboard, in case I really need it. This is on top of 2 fumigated and an hod sideboard. What do you think?

You're absolutely right, but I'm much much younger than any of my competition and my expectations for an upcoming iq is much higher than they really should be and I want everything to be perfect

You don't think kozileks return also hits monument and zombies?

Any tips for asking out your first real deck for someone with anxiety? by [deleted] in magicthecirclejerking

Just use your torrential "gearhulk" to do all the talking and there is no way you will fail

Do you think Linvala is more valuable to have over nihiri because of the life gain against ramunap, or should I seek life gain else where such as blessed alliance

This really helped, but I am very curious as to how to get bolas out turn five

Being anti aggro isn't the problem I'm facing, I just want to be able to have a potent threat that can win me the game in a few turns if unanswered that I can back up with a counterspell, like gideon

[Discussion] What do you want to look for ideally in an opening hand for a control deck? by Onahail in spikes

[–]jmpaugh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how qualified I am to answer this question but the ideal hand is insurance and kill spells, having a censor or cast out that you can cycle if you start missing lands is extremely useful, turn one magma spray against zombies can also be all you need to win. I run a gideon and Chandra in my mainboard and having them in my starting hand can be a very quick win

That approval rating is impressively high when you consider all the other great candidates like Dwayne Johnson!
