The last time I got really engrossed in MTG du jour was at Theros launch, when the Standard format cycled back into the Red Deck Wins phase. I got really fixated on the proper employment of Hammer of Purphoros, for some reason. I found that a lot of people rejected it out of hand because it's use case was, obviously, to do some work on turn five or six, but conventional wisdom holds it that Red Deck just can't Win if the game goes that long. Anyway, I did a shitload of math on it and came to conclusion that the Hammer could extend the win lifespan of a deck with enough feasibility that you'd actually owe some wins to it, and the someone less obvious conclusion that it actually managed a really, really low opportunity cost because of the Haste effect and the very particular balance of burns, creatures, and speed in that very particular format. Everyone sideboarding it should have had one in the main deck. Okay yeah that's my card evaluation anecdote, hope you liked it.
