You feel like turn one goblins plus discard is better than turn two Past in Flames with discard? Interesting.


Also, I still feel I haven't gotten an explanation why hands #1&2 are dependant on the deck list. I don't see how it matters if I run it with the intent to draw it or not when I have already drawn it. It doesn't matter why it is there, it matters what it does, and in my eyes you are throwing away a win condition in order to look for a win condition, which just doesn't make sense. It's like shuffling away Nimble Mongoose to search for Delver when you already have threshold.

I don't mulligan unless I have to - hand is nonsense in the MU or unresonable nonlander (that's why/how I goldfish keeping every hand as you could see some time back)... Brainstorm - it's different because I'd keep that sometimes - it's a mull 6 with 11 card selection most of which are already great (It probably does not make sense mathematicaly)

True, do you think T2 PiF is more probable to succeed given the number of cards that interact? with EtW there is only FoW, Terminus and combo something - you have discard for that and I'd do that not having the discard too

I think Jamie gave a good explanation, I have a difficulty with Grinding station in the awkward times I have to respect additional ToA and GP/cantrips in hand, that is a mode I enter in certain situations not on T1 as a no.1. plan because of having ToA, it's the same like playing towards Ad Nauseam you have in an opener mindlessly... I think it's better to keep spinning the wheels than holding the Probe majority of time, if not played T1 I'd play it 100% before the T2 Brainstorm, which you might not even play if you just passed, for me those hands suggest T2/3 goldfish, for you a grind =)

I'm inclined to think you have no business winning that game, but eh.

lol at the list, given the info - I'd Sdt Extract Sdt ... not that it matters, it's like predicting what happens in 2035
