I call this First-Picked-a-Lotus-but-Had-to-Keep-Answering-the-Door-to-Trick-or-Treaters-Storm". Other than mising with Minsc & Boo, my theory was I could Underworld Breach and use Wheel of Fortune and Endurance to deck them out. But the trick or treaters kept coming and Arena clock is unforgiving.

Had to use Tishana's Tidebinder twice in the same turn to counter my awful plays. Drew my whole deck with Displacer Kitten and Coveted Jewel. Cast Upheaval & for some reason blinked Jewel so had to counter its ability to not draw from an empty deck, then afterwards misclicked Mightstone & Weakstone.

Well, anyway, deck was absolutely nuts.

The apotheosis of UW control in cube is winning every game with 5 cards in your library, 7 cards in your hand, and zero creatures on your opponent's side. (Lutri in the side, naturally)

I can excuse war criminals backed by tech billionaires being granted unchecked power, but I draw the line at calling the Gaza International Transitional Authority "Gita", because it has somehow reminded me of this hauntingly bad line reading from An Evening With Gary Lineker (1994):

Can’t work out if the person scattering frozen chicken thighs across the graveyard was committing some sort of atrocity or just having a very bad day.

Just went 0-3 with a deck containing these cards and now having a not particularly minor emotional crisis.

One of my favourite places to be, watching Cliffords. Singer has mad pipes (as the kids say). First time I’ve gone out of my way to see a band with a trumpet at a festival since Animals That Swim in 1996. Also I saw a tiny mouse!

There are #mtg formats where you absolutely should not put two 6-drops into your deck. Then, there are formats where adding an additional two 7-drops would be ill-advised. And then there are formats where you trophy with all that, plus two 8-drops.

Bought this for dust but it produces proper hurricane-force ice cold winds on a day like today.

Furious at how much fun this set continues to be. Every deck appears to work, they've clearly put a lot of effort into making cards that are role-players in anything from 2-4 archetypes, and both the fast and slow games are fun and varied. Plus it's all chocobo fans drafting so they pass EVERYTHING.
