  1. I love Repercussion! I found out about the card years back, and it's a key staple in my Gisela Commander deck now 😀
    Such a funny deck tech! I love how much stall it does just to get the 3/4 combo pieces.

  2. I'd love to have seen the Elf opponents reaction. Sorry opponent, your not allowed to win with only creatures 💁‍♂️

    Bet he will have a way to destroy enchantments in his sideboard in the future

  3. Ah yes, 41 cards in deck, drew 4 + 12. Whats worse than that…. You Know 12 of the remaining cards in the deck will be Non- one ring as you aren't bottoming. The odds of drawing 16 cards, in a 41 card deck, and not drawing 1 of 3 cards is less than 1, is 21%…… Rip your luck.

  4. Mad respect for that one opponent just absolutely refusing to read what Leyline of Combustion does, I dig someone saying "cards aren't real and they can't hurt me" as they swiftly lose to their own catastrophic misplays

  5. So the odds:

    The chance you miss that turn was 22.6% or just slightly worse than 1 in 5.

    The chance you miss from the valakut specifically was 33% or 1 in 3.

    In other words, it wasn't that unlikely for you to miss there, but it was probably still the best line.

  6. missed opportunity to abuse cleansing wildfire and geomancer's gambit- if you branch into blue you could run some midnight clocks for further ramp + protection from the rogues deck + card draw. Another strat could be to branch into white and run firesong and sunspeaker for that sweet sweet lifegain
