    Always nice with new players!
    I've tried intuition, gifts, personal tutor, meditate, impulse, pieces of the puzzle, daze, spell pierce, flusterstorm and some more cards. The problem with the high...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    I played a quick league to test out Jeska's Will, got a 1-4. List was monored with LEDs and 4xignite the future, 4x jeska's will. I did not have a fun time

    As long as bonus round is in the deck I think it's wrong to not have RoF in the board. Doubling a wish with 1 floating gives lots of goblins or my favourite if I could play 20 card sideboard, pirates...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    The new wheel is so hard to evaluate. It must be pretty bad in multiples? Say you bet 6 life and win. Now you are down to 14, and your opp can easily outbid you on the next one. And how much do you...

    I really don't like this card, it might be really good but I don't want to play it. One sided wheel of fortune sounds great, but the fear of casting this vs untapped red mana will be too much...

    It's cool with bonus round, play manamorphose, whatever the outcome of the flip you win :) but I think it's more cool than good.

    Cool card, the effect is powerful, but a bit on the expensive side.
