Mirror Entity for 0 seems better.

If you want to kill your commander, I guess?

It's more of, hey, here comes a board wipe, guess I'll turn all my poo poo into eggs that now die.

Why do you need mirror entity to make your eggs die to the sweeper and also why doesn't the commander die in this situation?

Sure, but consider the following.

Mirror Entity for 1.

Mirror Entity for zero so she becomes an egg herself and something hatches from her.

The Shortest Path posted:

Anger of the Gods is a nonbo with her anyways iirc, if it kills the eggs you don't get the ability because they exile.

I forgot that was the 3 for 3 that did that, compared to like Sweltering Suns and Slagstorm that are just 3 damage.

I wanna crack the eggs but have her live through it ok and I only have pyroclasm, whipflare, and X spells.

No reason, my college roommate used to say it and I find myself thinking it every now and then. Just idly wondering if it had survived all the other changes to Magic's lexicon.

Which is a 16 person tournament that he went 3-2 in and then lost in the quarterfinals, he always jams hot messes of decks into them.

Are you trying to play a competitive format like standard at a store? If so, no. The arena code is nice and all but the pre-made planeswalker packs aren’t going to let you be competitive at a store.

If you’re just playing kitchen table magic with friends and family or you have zero interest in playing competitively and are just looking to jam games -sure

The only planeswalker deck worth buying is the WAR Gideon one, because Gideon's Company is really good in the Orzhov Lifegain deck

Of course, that deck is like tier 4 so it's not super competitive.
