yeah, Ashiok is the worse of the mentioned three, as it’s sorcery speed and so if they have instant speed draw available, you handing them a tutor effect. Still, if you need something desperately, that might be acceptable.

/u/bboomslang on Scheming Symmetry – 1 mana tutor with seb’s art
well, with [[psychic surgery]], [[Codex Shredder]] or [[Ashiok, Dream Render]], it might not be too bad. Yeah, a bit situational, but as a budget alternative to [[Imperial Seal]] maybe ok’ish. And I find it interesting that they go into the area of cmc 1 tutor again, after abstaining for so long.

There is no Natural Order in that Deck or article?

/u/bboomslang on [Organized Play] The London Mulligan – Starts with Core 2020
BR Goblins is tons of fun. This Grenzo list is a list I enjoy playing. Nice for times where you just want to ride with your lucky strike, but still controllable enough to push for a win when the right boardstate emerges. Just be aware of it’s major weekness: board wipes. Sure, there are ways around it like [[Balthor the Defiled]] or [[Garna, the BLoodflame]], but still – if someone in your pod plays “boardwipe, the game”, it won’t be a lot of fun for you.

London Mulligan to be introduced with Core Set 2020
https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/london-mulligan-2019-06-03 praise Karn, our lord and savior. What does this mean for the format? I would say that it is a nerf to UR Phoenix. It definitely benifits dredge and tron. What do you think? …

/u/bboomslang on Casual doesn’t have to mean ”bad”
Well, sure, you played a wincon. That is surely competitive. /s But what many players really mean with Casual is „your deck puts up a good fight against min, but in the end I still win“ – anything that goes against that is deemed competitive and un-fun…

Probably only because [[Elvish Aberration]] covers more than that 😉

Well, sentinel tower starts to count anew each turn, but counts your opponent turns. This one carries counter over to next turn. Still don’t think it really does enough to make it worth it.

It is at least the coolest FC commander I could imagine. I mean, flooding the board with a horde of slivers – what could be better?

/u/bboomslang on [Brew] Urza Paradox Scepter (UPS)
Yeah, I would play it over Recurring Insight, but I would probably play Aetherflux Reservoir, too, and go the primary storm route.

/u/bboomslang on [Brew] Urza Paradox Scepter (UPS)
Yeah, I guess it is a question if Urza’s native storm is a prime focus or just an incidental value. No point in playing a potential dead card for incidental value. In an aetherflux reservoir focused list it could make more sense, since we want to get to our reservoir and his play-for-free ability would open up another line to that easily. If the focus is more the infinite swan thing, that changes the picture drastically. I probably would feel more comfortable to keep him on an artifact centric combo, though, because of the easier tutoring for those. But that might just be that I find the Swan-Combo overly fiddly in explaining 😉
