Great podcast. One thing I'd like to point out about Surgical Extraction. If they have a Terminus or Entreat with the Miracle trigger on the stack and another already in the GY, you can surgical the one in the yard in response to the trigger. Which stops the trigger from happening, stopping it. I've only done this a couple of times but it sure feels good to "counter" it since I don't play blue.

Good luck to you all, it is interesting that this weekend is the same weekend, the only weekend out of the whole year, that I have to do real life stuff. But if it works out, I might be doing something different in my life next year. The interesting part being that I will have to start choosing between Magic & essentially, a "new job."

Again, best of luck to all in Seattle, I look forward to seeing the results at the end of it all! If anyone's playing High Tide, ya know someone's rooting for ya!
