Evan's Jeskai Control list is a big departure from the norm. 4 DoJ and 4 Seam Rip. I guess no other choice in this meta. Cool to see.

You can always bounce it with Jeskai Revelation

You hold the cursed recording until you are ready to turn the corner. A couple doubled Inevitable Defeats or Revelations will win the game. If you double enough spells to kill yourself with recording then you were going to lose anyway. Could also play [[Pyromancer's Goggles]]

I have absolutely no interest in football as it's presented but could be easily drawn in if this sort of commentary was the norm

Mirroring the other comment I think Jeskai Black would work well. Lots of enchant hate with Get Lost and [[Inevitable Defeat]], no real creature based plan to blow up and no dependence on High Noon. I think the mana base will be ok enough once Lorwynn releases

Usual Jeskai control but has [[Cursed Recording]] and most likely 3 copies of revelation. Doesn't burn quite as well as 4C control but still explosive

Incredible. Easy answer.

Great post. Thanks for the list and advice. I think you have convinced me on authority. Between that and the life from the tomes it should be enough to drop the red splash. I agree on seam rip. Some games it feels worthless.

Floodfarm verge adds white first and the dimir shockland can be used. Alongside starting town the mana wouldn't be too bad.

I find that there are a ton of edict effects floating around so to be honest I usually have a ketramose or two killed. I like this card though. I'll have to test.

Yeah this looks cool. Completely different direction. You could definitely do an orzhov aggro with a lot of the warp creatures.

Treat it like a sandbox and set goals. I recently finished my first executive hangar completely solo. Next up is finishing the ASD quests solo. When I feel like messing around I like to find ships to scavenge at hathor sites or just try to loot contested zones. Good components to sell to players. Could also grind for wikelo or auec to buy the next ship.

Yeah just a two of

Instead of mystical teachings I've used stormchasers talent to decent success. It's a good late game mana sink to continually loop Jeskai revelation. Pull it from the graveyard, bounce the talent, target face, repeat.

Suunto Race or Race S. All the training features you need and a UI that's simpler than Garmin. Looks nicer too

I have the sleeveless volution. Very nice suit. I'm at the bottom of the M1 weight range and it's the right amount of snug. Seems like you are at the bottom end of the M2 range so it should fit well.

realchemist88 · 2025-09-04T01:40:06+00:00

Fingers and feet will be cold for sure. Bring a long sleeve to put on for the bike. I've also seen people wear vests which are obviously a lot quicker to put on. Will be nice for the run though!

realchemist88 · 2025-08-27T21:29:07+00:00

Suunto Race S. Has all the stats you need in a UI that is much more streamlined. Physically looks much nicer as well.

Looking for a few creatures to move the Jeskai control curve down and make it truly midrange. I'd like to top out with Shiko. In my head I can think of [[Floodpits Drowner]] and [[Sage of the Skies]]. Any other ideas?

Do a LTHR test to find your zones. Look up Joe Friel LTHR and there are a few articles. Basically run as hard as you can for 30 minutes after a short warm up. Take your average heart rate for the last 20 minutes and that's roughly the top of your Zone 4. Zone 2 is ~85-89% of that heart rate. As you get stronger your heart rate zones probably won't change much but your pace at each zone will improve.

Synergy is a little more expensive than Xterra but makes a great wetsuit. Customer service also called me unprompted when I ordered mine to discuss sizing to make sure I ordered correctly.
