Sea Gate Wreckage seems pretty great in the Lantern deck. It helps tighten the lock faster and when you have Lantern out there's no danger of getting cards stuck in your hand.

I'm glad I got my Living End cards a month ago! I'll never understand why more people haven't been playing it; it wrecks Eldrazi pretty handily.

Her one card was good and fun mechanically, and they have given us basically nothing to go on story-wise about her, so we can just imagine she's cool.

Have you played it? I don't like combo at all and I actually have a pretty good time with it. There's a surprising amount of play to the deck and learning how to play around things is really important. Fulminator is expensive sure but it's the only card in the deck that is, outside of fetches which you almost certainly have if you're playing modern.

Consider that the best plays he could do with collected company mostly were collected company into dead eternal witnesses, bringing back collected company does indeed check out.

It's old unsellable boosters like Theros and M15, with a random promotional foil in front. The people putting in the promotional foils don't care about secondary market value, so sometimes you get a treasure like that.

Looks like we're getting some kind of rules update to Transform. Otherwise getting to smack your opponent for 3 multiple times could be an issue.

It's a 3-pack of random (usually Standard Legal) boosters that were lying around and re-packed. I think they usually cost $12-15.

He filtered more than half his deck and barely found 2 of the 12 creatures that we're live. I would consider that not drawing very well.

Really doubtful. That would involve multiple upkeeps to flip her and hit for 3 which would also involve multiple playing for creatures that can sac themselves.
