I just mulliganed into the exact same 1 land hand. Second mulligan, 2 lands and down to 5 cards. Nice RNG there.

why does this lovely game let you put stops on the board when you can't do anything at all

So that you can bluff that you can. Two untapped islands, etc etc.

I played a game earlier with a 24 land deck and got 15 of my lands in the top 19 cards of my deck. It happens, try not to let it get to you.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!

Honestly after spending a few days with the deck the 0/3 reach body seems extremely relevant so I’m expecting Goose will slot in very nicely.

The deck also seems extremely draw dependent. I only run 24 lands and I’ve lost soooooo many games during this event where I’m fine if I draw basically 1 of like 10 cards in my deck but if it isn’t one of those 10 you’re doomed. There are lots of games where you’ll untap with 15 mana and basically nothing to do with it, and drawing a single Krasis would definitely win you the game on the spot.

I'm not sure what it's relevant for, it doesn't trade, I would rather have something that could trade if needed, it is nice cavalier fodder though. Albeit I've only played 14 games with it so far, I haven't lost a single one of them though.

If it had even been a different single land hand I would have been less annoyed. I initially thought the game just didn't register my click on the mulligan button.

Blocking an 11/3 Flying Chandra’s Spitfire has been the difference between me winning vs Cavalcade and me losing vs Cavalcade a lot.

The 25th if you want to be safe, but I think they said you can get in really early on the 26th and do a quest before they reset everything when the patch/eldraine pass comes out

For the bad players in the thread: I am a pretty average player, with about 50% winrate, but this deck positively catapulted me to diamond through ranked BO1, I literally didn't lose a single game in all of gold and it was only at platinum 1 that I started to losing games. There is definitely some room for improvement if you have the right cards, but I didn't want to spend wildcards on rares and mythics that are moving out of standard soon.

Target opponent reveals his or her hand. You may choose a nonland card from your opponent's hand. If you do, your opponent exiles that card. If a nonblack card was exiled this way, exile a card from your hand.

This is good, right? Like....really good. Not sure about mainboard but absolutely in sideboard. 1 black mana to counter any black spells, and it's non black, just throw away any unwanted card.

1st of all, you have no way of knowing this, but when you suggest to me, a mixed race person, that I assume all black people are related, you're being kind of racist.

2nd of all, not all black people have Afros, but Kaya and the Queen both do. Notice how I didn't ask if she was related to Teferi?

Slow your roll next time you have a brilliant point to make, dude.

Kaya's wiki says her homeplane is as of yet unnamed.

Whatever, her wiki says we don't know her homeplane but she descended from royalty and the only black royalty we've been shown is a stern-looking woman with frizzy black hair, like hers. It's really not the absurd reach you guys are claiming it to be.

“She’s not bald so obviously no relation to Teferi” is a terrible argument.

Wouldn’t any black person have an afro if they grew it out long enough and styled it that way?

no, the kink/nap of your hair is genetic, not every black person's hair is the same level of nappiness

She also looks NOTHING like Teferi, whereas I do see some facial similarities between her and the queen

I don't like it. Thought erasure is better and duress is more broadly applicable in the sideboard. I don't like the idea of giving myself card disadvantage for a minor upside.
