    Re: [Deck] TinFins 3: Return of the Onion Burst

    What about 1 collective brutality maindeck? Maybe for one of the dazes? Allows you to do an emrakul loop to kill the opponent vs something like an ensnaring bridge. Those situations may be corner...

    Just a PSA For anyone running Veil of summer. Veil also beats a chalice on 0 or a chalice on 2. Or a Lavinia. Or a Chancellor of the Annex.

    Hey, thought I’d update on my experiences with RUG breach and update what I’m working on now. With a little tech that I think is quite strong. For reference my last posted trophy result with rug...

    Hey everybody. I was talking with jtl005, who has been streaming a bit with jeskai about some of the advantages and drawbacks of my build vs jeskai. Many of the points I’ve made elsewhere in this...

    Re: Escape Brain Freeze

    Strongly feel something close to my RUG list should be included. Just got another trophy with it. 34-11 overall.

    I switched to UWr for a bit and just still find it clunkier (went 3-2 both times)....

    I want to preface this by saying that my confidence level isn’t super high that I’m right, and I def see merits to enlightened tutor. My experience with though scour has been fantastic, however, and...

    Re: Escape Brain Freeze

    I agree with a lot of what you said. All of it def deserves testing, and none of these options (preordain, thought scour, tome scour, e tutor) are strictly better than one another. I have been...

    i'm not so sure it's easy to see when you'd rather have e tutor vs thought scour. in goldfishing, e tutor will always outperform thought scour unless you have breach, and sometimes but prob under...

    disagree *strongly* with "random draw from thought scour rarely gave me a card i needed" logic. that's like saying the draw step is overrated because i often don't draw a card i needed. every card,...

    thought scour is kind of like a card that says "draw 1.5 cards." you know how you have hands that need brain Freeze and LED, but those cards don't really have much use outside the combo turn? a...

    Many times they can’t even exile LED with macabre if you’re careful. Sac led for uuu, recast led from gy first. Cast brain freeze and led is on the table. They never have an opening to macabre...

    Good results! I might start playing Thought Scour over Preordain.

    Finished that league 3-2, so it's 10-5 overall. Not sure if Intuition is where you want to be; I just wanted to try out my first...
