Quad sleeving seems like it opens up for a lot of cheating with all of the ways you can slightly manipulate orientation and such.

I've only used their product for games with weird storage requirements, but the build quality on Broken Token stuff is nice. Maybe, for a $13k cube, springing for a custom engraved box would be neat?

Thanks to everyone who responded to me. I'll have to look into this when I get home tomorrow. I'll probably get some kind of fireproof case if I can find anything that will work.

I would be exceptionally suspicious of someone triple or quad sleeving if their deck isn't worth more than ten thousand dollars. It'd be too easy to hide a pattern of cuts/scratches on a small area of the colored/patterned sleeve under two layers of covers that wouldn't be readily visible until you know what to look for.

I think the idea of watching an extra turns deck is more interesting than actually watching an extra turns deck, I'd rather watch this Rallier Company Zoo deck

Be weary when you see oppression disguised as progression

The Spirit told me to use discernment and a Smith n Wesson at my discretion

Practice heavy self reflection, avoid self deception
If you lost, get re-direction

That first deck is DnT not hatebears, give it some credit!

Lots of affinity, burn and Tron, surprised DS didn't make the cut

The blue spell seems like garbage, anticipate was already bad, I don't think a 3cmc peer through depths is better, and 3 mana leaks are beyond awful.

FWIW, a modal spell simply being more expensive than either half's standalone cost isn't a good reason to call it garbage.

edit: not to mention the fact that the second mode is miles better than Anticipate, and I don't know why you're bringing up Peer Through Depths when it is literally just Impulse

My favorite Eggs match is still the one where Brian Kibler (with a judge's permission) wrote "F6" on a piece of paper and walked away.

The second mode is Impulse. Calling it Anticipate or PEER THROUGH DEPTHS??? is pretty dumb imo. Especially when neither of those cards can ever counter a spell.

Also that 3 mana BFZ Leak for 4 has seen a non-zero amount of play. Add on the fact that it's good card selection if you need it to be and it's a very good card. It really needs some good 2 mana removal (Abrade/Harnessed Lightning/Fatal Push) to make it playable in standard.

Abrupt Decay. Isn't that the 3 mana lock-down temple thing? (The only one I've gotten right so far was Slaughter Pact.)

Also, I just noticed they call the burn deck in the top 8 "Naya," but the only green spells are 4 Destructive Revelry in the sideboard.
