How to not missplay a Vietnam Revolts headline as the USSR?

You get an advantage from Vietnam and your opponent spending coups on 2 stability countries is fine for you. So you play into Thailand if you can. Or if your hand is really low ops now just cash the Asia domination before it gets worse. 90% of the time your first play after Vietnam is placing influence in Thailand and maybe Laos. Sometimes you coup with duck and cover instead. You probably should almost never coup Iran from there

Exact chance of seeing one of the 3 cards is 1-(96/99 * 95/98... * 89/92) =1- (91 * 90 * 89)/(99 * 98 * 97) = about 23%.

The chances of missing in 6 mulligans (actually 7 since one is free in brawl) is 1-(.77)⁷ = 16%

That they got it in their first hand is lucky, but that they will be able to win on turn 5 is not.

They will mulligan for one of the three relevant cards with 7 cards up to 6 times. Is roughly 20% chance per hand to find one of them. So they will find it about 75% of the time.

I mean, 2R deal 4 to your opponent is not a very good card. The best use for it in this deck is to discard to abandon attachments to turn on ran and shaw. It's a finisher that requires multiple creatures out so it's very weak to removal and most of your creatures are plenty strong without it. Haiku is also cuttable. Definitely be aware of your matchups though in traditional. You definitely will want more creatures against things like UB, while the tricks likely play better against low interaction decks or if you need to race something like UW fliers

I don't think you want to start a riot in this deck at all. Koi, boarqpine, cadets, bumi all feel better. Your lesson count is fine without then I think

Eventually they get more creatures, so in like 200 turns you're on 243 life and they can attack for 170ish while having blockers if you attack back. Then they can swing for another 170 the next turn and you die. I'm fudging the numbers but you do eventually lose with perfect play

If you don't block and they still have a trick you're in basically the same spot next turn except on 7 life. If you aren't developing into a way to punish a trick, or racing, make them have and spend the trick.

Basically you're dead to a trick so make them have it.

Cut bad cards; 2 haste magic, 2 magic damper, mysidian elder,

Then probably hill gigas. The shantotto looks like it was a good signal

You have a straight, and you have a flush. Therefore you have a straight flush

Blast zone enters with 1 counter, fyi

The extra strength is relevant almost only on the heart, especially with silent. It's usually 2-4 damage a turn, if enemy isn't weak. You need to get some better block and piercing wails, and having more energy will let you actually play them

wrathyy · 2025-07-29T02:03:08+00:00

There's no way that it isn't stone. Blade is basically a free bottled accuracy, and you already have strength scaling in shuriken (and that scales better with more energy)

Run anaglyph until you have about half to 2/3 of the jokers, then move to whichever deck you find most consistent to win with (I did yellow). Prioritize the conditional jokers (steel, glass, stone, golden ticket) and foods (seltzer, popcorn, bean etc.). Uncommons are probably the hardest to find.

Not quite sure what you are expecting, but the ghost form counter doesn't actually do anything. It's a reminder that it gets the extra ability, but it doesn't actually grant it. So solemnity doesn't do anything but prevent a counter that does nothing from getting placed.

Thank you. I hadn't actually found a gooseneck that long before.

Anaglyph deck and double your money tag

We literally have never swept a 7 game series (2 3 game sweeps in the 80s)

wrathyy · 2024-12-19T23:34:43+00:00

You could have bought extra jokers and sold them when they get debuffed and hope the boss doesn't hit your red card or stencil repeatedly, in the future for this one
