Saw SoI spoilers. Invasive Surgery is actually a legit eternal format sideboard card because it exiles the other copies even if it doesn't counter the original, besides being a strict upgrade over the already-sees-some-play Envelop.

OK that's my opinion.

How does it ever not counter the original but still resolve so that that the Delerium ability happens? The Delerium abulity doesn't happen unless Invasive Surgery resolves, it's not like it's a "when you cast this spell" triggered ability or something.

I guess it lets you surgically extra the other copies of an uncounterable spell as they're casting it?

Or Bosejui mana.

Well my point is it's a strict upgrade to Envelop which already sees play with some interesting implications.

It has implications but I honestly dislike the card - the last thing we need are more extirpate/surgical/etc effects at 1 mana.

They're very swingy cards as is - you can completely disable a deck's ability to function because you happened to draw your sideboard card - and that effect is already why modern sucks as a format. If the 'solution' your deck has to another is "remove a card from being a play option" then you either A)Have it and win hands down or B) Don't have it and have no way to win

How many Modern decks rely on sorceries that hard, though? It's gonna be more of a Legacy thing, where Storm and Miracles exist and it can rip out Show and Tell.

I like what this set has done to Standard. It's actually managed to make me interested in Standard again before rotation.

I tried out the BWC tokens/planeswalkers deck at FNM tonight and it's super fun. Matter Reshaper being able to hit Silkwrap and Stasis Snare is cool and the games you win by going EOT Secure the Wastes into Gideon or Sorin are just the best.

Can you link the decklist please?

It was kind of embarrassing (Pascal). Not sure what he was hoping to accomplish given an entire audience of 30k people saw him, and, if I'm not mistaken, there'd still be a game 3 if he lost.

I'm basically just tweaking a list that's been showing up around the edges of top8s the last few weeks. There's a version without the colorless stuff, but I think the Matter Reshaper version of the list is better.

No he just looked like an rear end in a top hat asking a judge what he'd done so far. What he meant is "can I take back activating this Inkmoth" and the judge ruled nope.

TL;DR: I don't want people Surgicaling my Life from the Loams.

Maybe don't play a deck that only functions if you have one specific card if you don't want to lose to extraction effects.
