Yeah, I noticed that making it, but it work out when you gotta put shit ON your creatures. Like, who needs a 3 drop when turn 3 is equipping your turn 2 kitesail to your turn 1 creature, giving it Rancor, and sending your 5/2 flying tramplin angry robot into the world

My only lost game wasn't about not having 3 drops even it was just having all of my buffs and no one to give them to.

I added this card to my budget ZombiePod deck (with Vamp Nighthawk in the sideboard since I have a free slot and it works as an alt 3-drop besides Messengers) and it works surprisingly well.

Oh, went 2-3 this week at a more... higher-level Standard tourney. Did better at the other store where there were less people running incredibly expensive decks everywhere. :<

What deck was he complaining about? He just said incredibly expensive. Both of the ones I posted are commonly played in tournaments, and are miles beyond the average standard deck in cost.

Well I think he's specifically talking about standard events, and a lot of the tier 1 standard decks are pretty damn expensive.

Also, was that a miracle deck played in Legacy?

Anything to say about that, TSQ?

That deck was pretty misleading being titled "UW Miracles" given there were four total miracles in it.

I never said decks would be '46 miracles, 24 land.' I said that they'd see play. And miracle cards were fairly essential to that deck's success.

A 1-of Entreat and 3 Terminus don't warrant naming it Miracles to me, but I'm not the one who named it. Glad to see the good miracles seeing play, but god damn it Entreat, go below $7 a piece so I can buy a playset of you.

I don't think anyone argued Miracles wouldn't see play. It was argued that they were gimmicky and wouldn't be widespread/core to multiple deckbuilding strategies/archetypes.

Just got back from the game store; got my first tourney win, then cracked Tamiyo.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

Pretty sure you're wrong, so go back and look at what TSQ was arguing.

Also, 4 cards in a deck can define the entire deck. Am I wrong?
