There are Instant speed adventures as well. This might be a dumb question but could you then cast the creature right after you are done with the adventure at instant speed? Sort of like Flash?

The singleton event a few weeks back has been on of my favorites. I played against a few of those Blue Mill decks with 30 Patient Petitioners or whatever they were called. Mostly those games came down to me having some sort of graveyard recursion, waiting until some of my beasts had a shitload of Undertow or whatever that Golgari mechanic is called, recursioning things back to the battlefield / hand and then winning. In fact that singleton event is what made me do my jank rear end Golgari / Drak recursion deck that I have a lot of fun playing.

I made a very janky Golgari deck that is all about getting Drakuseth, Maw of the Flames in the Graveyard, and then using Bond of Revival to pull it out and win the game. It wins pretty frequently but I mostly play unranked matches. Essentially the best starting hand is like 2 lands (1B, 1G), Erstwhile Trooper, Drak, Bond, Llanowar Elf, Leyline Prowler. I take a mulligan if I don't have a bond in my starting hand.

4x Llanowar Elves (ramp obviously)
2x Status // Statue (Creature / Enchantment removal, and in a pinch potentially give a creature deathtouch)
3x Kraul Harpooner (to take out enemy flyers)
4x Glowspore Shaman (chance to mill drak into gy, but also make sure I can get 5 mana to play Bond of Revival)
4x Gorging Vulture (see above, but also healing when I mill a creature)
4x Erstwhile Trooper (use them to sac a drak in my hand)
2x Leyline Prowler (ramp)
3x Deathsproud (ramp and removal)
2x Golgari Findbroker (use them to pull Kraul Harpooner out if I need flying removal, if not I use them for Underrealm Lich)
4x Bond of Revival (the key card in the deck)
1x Underrealm Lich (I would get more of them, but I don't have that many mythic rare wild cards and it's not like I take this deck seriously. Use it to make sure I DON'T mill a Bond of Revival)
4x Drakuseth, Maw of Flames (The "I win" button of this deck, deals roughly ~17 damage, per swing. Can clear entire boards at once)
2x Molderhulk (Back up in case for some reason you can't get a Drak in play)
7x Swamp
6x Forest
1x Overgrown Tomb
3x Temple of Malady (So you don't accidentally mill a Bond of Revival)

Sounds hilarious. I kind of want to run it IRL.

It's very hilarious because most of the time once I get Drak into play it's an auto concede.

EDIT: I just calculated the price in Paper Magic and it's like $12

Too bad about rotation soon. And probably wouldn't hurt to have a sideboard.

But I have been wanting to play a Golgari deck (I got my hands on some JP art Vraska sleeves so now I feel obligated to run something Golgari) so hopefully it can be retuned when Eldraine comes out.

I think the only thing in it rotating out is Llanowar Elves

It's great, when Cauldron Familiar comes into play you gain a life, opponent loses a life. You sac it to Witches Oven that generates a food. You use the Food to return Cauldron Familiar to your hand, put it back into play, rinse, wash, repeat. If you can get multiple Oven's out so much the better.

Companion
1 Lurrus of the Dream Den (IKO) 226

Deck
4 Drannith Healer (IKO) 10
4 Zenith Flare (IKO) 217
4 Memory Leak (IKO) 95
4 Go for Blood (IKO) 122
4 Startling Development (IKO) 68
4 Boon of the Wish-Giver (IKO) 43
4 Footfall Crater (IKO) 118
4 Valiant Rescuer (IKO) 36
5 Mountain (IKO) 271
4 Flourishing Fox (IKO) 13
7 Plains (IKO) 262
4 Drannith Stinger (IKO) 113
4 Sacred Foundry (GRN) 254
4 Frostveil Ambush (IKO) 52

You can use Lurrus or Zirda. Zirda is nice because it makes Valiant Rescuer only 1 mana to cycle instead of 2, but that is the only difference. I rarely (if ever) actually use Lurrus.

Yeah we don’t talk about it enough but the companions being Hybrid instead of gold is a big flaw in their design. Lurrus wouldn’t need a ban in Vintage if it cost 1WB.

I never thought about how the Hybrid mana really makes them easier to play in a wider array of decks / colors.

For some reason (don't know why) I was watching a guy open Unlimited Packs on Twitch (he had 3). I missed the first pack but the 2nd pack had Winter Orb as the rare and the 3rd pack had a loving Island (https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/azhejs/the_rare_island_and_the_missing_plains/?utm_source=amp&utm_medium=&utm_content=post_body) instead of any rare what so ever.

I bought 1 single Bob Ross non-foil set, because I liked watching The Joy of Painting when they first put it up on twitch. Not sure what I'm going to do with them when I get them, maybe make a 5-color commander deck where they're the only basics or something. Or just use them to make a nice first couple pages in my binder?

I'm also not 100% sure if we get the arts in Arena. I think that part said something about a sleeve, and they're giving out a free code for the lands to everyone.

Edit: looked it up, if you bought the secret lair, you get 5, they're giving the other 5 away over the next 2 weeks

I remember in high school my friends and I made proxy decks and they were so much fun, and so absurd at the same time.

I think one of the reasons that I never quit loving the game (despite not playing it for large swaths of my life) is because it just evokes such a strong feeling of nostalgia for me.

Arena had made it so accessible again and I love Arena for that, but sitting around the kitchen table arguing about the rules is something I miss a lot.

Do you think its more common for people to buy 1-2 secret lairs, or do most people buy all/none of them? I imagine most people would buy 0, going by how popular arena is because its free to play. but also, there are people who buy cases of double masters and stuff like that so they're probably also buying 3 of each secret lair.

I've bought 3 over the last year. Godzilla Lands, Bob Ross Lands and the Black Girls Who Code. I don't play paper but I think the artwork is great.
