[[Curfew]] is a good cheap edict when a hexproof creature makes it past your defenses and it usually works well with blink/reuse themes. [[Circle of protection: green]] can shut down quite a bit of the deck if you have the mana to spend. [[Dawn Charm]]…

/u/bboomslang on What is your favorite deck and why is it your favorite?
While I don’t play it myself, it is by far my favorite deck to play against. I feel like the games are allways interesting, with cool stuff going on. Sure, there is the “oops, I win” with tokens and boost, but it is far less annoying than the corresponding part with hexproof (probably my least favorite deck to play against). It just makes for very interesting games.

It is one in my gauntlet, but I really dislike how – despite running crop rotation and expedition maps – far too often it doesn’t assemble tron on time. I moved back to a more murasa tron like build where I can just stumble into tron but am not too dependent on it to be there. But still, while a fun deck, I allways feel like I put too much cards in for having it work than for actual answers or threats. I guess I just like controlly aggro or hard control much more than big mana.

This is my number two after UR delver. I just love it when my opponent starts to ask “resolves?” with every card they play. And with UB teachings, they don’t just have to worry if it resolves, but have to worry if it stays, too. I named mine lovingly “fuck you, bogles” because I out it together after being beaten by bogles once too often.

I’m in the same boat, really love that deck. Especially the epic comebacks you can have with ut by hitting a late game gush. One game my opponent was desperately digging for a bolt or blast to finish me, whike I was in top deck mide, but hitting a gush and grabbed sime digging spells and getting some counters back to my hand brought me back into the game. Really fun deck, enjoy playing it a ton.

remember that only in a two player game you do get three gangsters. In all other counts only two are used.

/u/bboomslang on [C17] Sol Ring
I think C17 is meant to be on MTGO, too at least I read it I think here on reddit. which obviously doesn’t mean anything definitive, of course. And I seem to remember the first precons where, too, but that might be a misremembering. But even if they never ever hit MTGO, it still is weird to put cards in they deem to brojen for playing with.

well, with C17 hitting MTGO, this will be fun to watch people not being able to play their precon 1v1, because sol ring is banned there.

/u/bboomslang on Concordia, what do you like? Dislike?
For two players, get Salsa with its smaller map, or the Britannica or even Corsica map. Makes it much tighter. I went with Britannica and am very happy with playing it two player.
