    Re: Ruby Storm

    It's a good card, for sure. I just get hung up on it being off color, no ruby discount. Either you need a manamorphose available, or you're using two petals/LED to cast this. A "free" storm (LED)...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    I had to read the card first, because I was about to say no. Now, afterward, I'm mixed. It'd be great to get something back, we're not going to be playing with many permanents over 2, Rubies Petals...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    Awesome to hear JosefK, even if it is purple. Ignite the Future is better than a bad card. Expensive, but with the rubies, it ain't that bad.

    Re: Ruby Storm

    Oko is a real pita, an unpopped LED also hurts when it gets goinked.

    Oko hasn't been an automatic game over though. WHen it hits the board though, I stop dropping non-land permanents, and I do...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    Underworld Breach seems win-more. What lines are there where the 2(or 1) mana to cast, plus the desired spells affect are going to turn a maybe situation into an adventageous(sp) one?

    So our decks are similar in nature (red, storm, over the top in lieu of value), but focus on doing way different things. I agree that Bonus Round does next to nothing for your deck.

    I really do like the Timetwister varient, but am unsure about the double blue casting cost. Sure petals and manamorphose, but It seems that's going to be sitting in...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    There's a big difference in playing a blue splash or not. By flipping over so many cards with Act or Commune, I can often over power with mana not needing the 4th RoF in the board. Plus there's LED...

    Bonus Rd with the bolts, especially when you bonus rd a bonus rd. You guys did the math before i did, don't discount that ish. Bonus rd is much better than just a g.probe/manamorphose enhancer.
