  1. Re: [LCI] Pirates, Vampires and Dinos, oh my! The Lost Caverns of Ixalan spoliers

    That's why I put the "is it win more" in there. The thought was a SnT or Entomb this plus reanimate puts (or can put) multiple key creatures out, protecting from edict effect. Just cheating out...

    Re: Extirpate / surgical extraction deck

    Plague Engineer could effectively "surgical" any x/1 from your opponents deck, and it acts as a slow wincon.

    Needles can cancel out fetches, or you can just waste their dual and then surgical it...

    Re: 8-Rack

    To be honest, I don't actually know. Your guess on the meta is probably better than mine, even with you not playing it in a while!
