Re: Eternal Weekend stream discussion
Mega just stop now plz..
Relavant to thread:
Eldrazi was the savior we needed. Tough break on that last game, but I mean you couldn't hope for anything better. Hans just seemed to have it all that game.
Re: Eternal Weekend stream discussion
He got the inconsistent chalice deck draw and lost to more consistent brainstorm ponder deck. The chalice deck doesn't get to keep 1 land hands and fix them with ponder and brainstorm. They get to mulligan to oblivion while Hanni gets to run a 4 color 18 land deck attempting to cast Jace because he has brainstorm, ponder probe and Deathrite and can keep basically any 7 with at least a fetch

I think you are right. You don't see it.
On topic, congrats to HJ for the win, solid deck and play on camera.

Is it really 4 color though, when the only green spell in the deck is also a black spell, with a single Trop in the maindeck? I never activated Deathrite's green ability all weekend, although I did play an EE for 4 on two different occasions, so there was that.
I get what you're saying though... 18 lands and 2 JTMS in the maindeck being possible because of the cantrips.

True. It's not a slight against you. I like your deck a lot. I plan on trying it out (though I don't really like Stoneforge), it's just a testament to how dumb the cantrips plus deathrite are. Maverick plays 9 mana dorks and has to play 23 lands just to be consistent enough.

4 rainbow mana dorks and enough cantrips to find what you need is just a winning strategy in magic.
