That doesn't seem like the worst thing for ~ 1.5 a pack cost. You come out ahead on uncommons and slightly ahead on commons by cost. Obviously you lose at the rare slot but there's lots of power and functionality in the uncommon slot now so it seems fine?

So just opened the packs wizards sent me as a sorry for messing up FTV: From the Vault. I opened 2 fatal push, a cavern of souls, an abrupt decay and a foil marsh flats. Thanks for the free money, Wizards.

I'm considering trying Karn's Temporal Sundering in this too. It's not always as swinging but it's potentially quite good if you're playing an opponent's that's trying to hate to your yard. Star Man posted:I have seen one tweet so far that was a complaint that Llanowar Elves is bad for Standard because they're getting attacked by unblockable 5/4 creatures off of one land. I don't know why people are surprised that Llanowar Elves into Steel Leaf is good. It's a dumb aggro deck, but a 5/4 'can't be blocked by basically anything that costs 2 mana' is obviously good.

Seems like a reason to keep Cast Down in the 75, too if green stomparoo starts making a showing. Seal Away is also a tidy, early answer. I am not thrilled with Steel Leaf but they have certainly provided us with answers (the best answer is to strand it in their 2 forest 1 elf hand past it's relevance as an ahead-of-rate body, by Protect them elves from the terrible secret of space.

Academy Journeymage only bouncing opponents' creatures lost me a game today and I'm Very Sad That This Happened To Me. I had two Cabal Whatsits that burn when you cast a historic spell out and Umezawa/Journeymage and 7 mana with them at 4. Everyone who misclicks their guys has collectively owned me.

PSA: stop milling your opponent with effects unless you are absolutely sure decking will be a thing that wins this game or you're absolutely winning or losing and can use the info, if the format has any relevant graveyard shenanigans going on. Just had an opponent mill my GW deck with Fungal Plots in play with its Homarid Explorer, just enough to provide two Saproling and eventually win the game when I could chump and draw. Of course the reason for their loss was not misplaying pretty terribly, but my Multani I eventually could draw and play.

TCGplayer is good and often much more affordable than LGS shopping. That said, it's pretty rough when you're trying to gather large quantities of low-cost cards because you need to make every cart cost $2 or more and pray that a card on your list from the store and price of your choice doesn't get sold before you submit your order. That gets tedious.
