    Re: Escape Brain Freeze

    It depends, but I'm mostly nitpicking: in my Echo list, I would often not crack LED as I dig with Brainstorm. Generally speaking, or specifically in a 10+ cantrips list cracking LEDs before resolving...

    It does. Your opponents will/should go after 2cmc spells with Chalice and Prelate.

    I have a very different experience with Faithless Looting. And I encourage people not to be on mill cards like Tome Scour, especially without Echo of Eons. The selection while discarding in Faithless...

    Re: Escape Brain Freeze

    What are you looking for specifically? Plenty of lists posted here already.



    I don't think it's any amount of correct not to play LEDs lol
    Black Lotus is very strong when legal :-)

    Yup but likely in the sideboard.



    Yeah I also agree with this, though it might prove too difficult to replay the

    Those don't come close to Frenzy. I have played it an extensive amount in Doomsday so I am kinda familiar with it ^^ Frenzy lets you play the 59 other cards unlike Forge. Paradoxical Outcome I think...

    Nothing prevents them from having Hexproof before you go off, be it with an early Veil, or with a permanent like Leyline.

    Grapeshot is superior. It kills a Thalia when you're that deep.

    In my example, opponent actually puts a card in your library before the trigger resolves :-) But you're right, I wouldn't worry either about removal.

    Yes absolutely. If you look at a one of the slate files, take Doomsday's for instance: if you want any 3 lands, you input:

    Since in that slate you marked all card names referring to...

    Re: Escape Brain Freeze

    One of those is more of a corner case:

    - Stifle and similar effects
    - Pull from Eternity + removal (my Echo Storm list has access to that)

    Unexpectedly Absent + Swords to Plowshares works as...

    Re: Escape Brain Freeze

    I found it versatile enough to be considered, but it's very bad on its own to be honest. I think this could be perfect in a list with Experimental Frenzy if we somehow go this route.

    Yeah indeed. You can however play a longer game and empty your library pretty quickly with crabs and smaller resolutions of Brain Freeze.

    I think knowing the weaknesses in advance is enough to play around them. Those are all examples of cards that specifically (or not) hose a veil protection. And you should be able to expect them the...

    I disagree and it would seem I'm of the minority here. I prefer veil over silence effects because it has clear advantages over a 1 mana silence. Sure Silence can function as a timewalk in the earlier...

    Exactly, can't play it. Veil of Summer makes it fizzle as well. Ashiok is a middle finger too.
