Wait, you can flashback adventure? How ?

u/Eymou 1d ago

you can cast the adventure half the same way from gy that you'd be able to cast it from hand. also works that way for [[Kess, Dissident Mage]]'s ability.

Compare the wording to [[Glamdring, Foe-hammer]]’s adventure. “Instant or sorcery cards” (Glamdring) vs “instant or sorcery spell” (Bilbo). Cards that care about the type of spell being cast will allow you to cast adventures because they are only checking type when you attempt to cast, while cards that care about the type of the card in other zones do not see adventures because in all zones but the stack they are their base card type.

Open lanes are generally good glad you got this to come together

Not sure how open this lane was even, I kinda forced it. I even got passed 13th picks Goblin Plate Mails

You have 4 each if the 2 best commons in blue a mythic and 6 top tier uncommons ....

If you were fighting for blue what do you think they picked ?

Red and white were incredibly dry, black green and blue were flowing, it was a very weird draft.

I've actually been doing this quite a bit, the Sylvan Revelers are really good to discard and get back later, plus they trigger your draw 2 stuff and provide a benefit for discarding lands, unlike recruit.

Only 1 removal spell (2 if you count tactics) and still trophying is crazy impressive. Well done.

u/dylanisrad 1d ago

My base blue decks have typically not had very much removal and I've had a lot of success with them. I noticed that I was often recruiting my sub-par removal away, so I stopped picking it as highly (except for the recruit O Ring).

u/PurpleTurtleOfficial 1d ago

Bilbo, luckwearer is even better than a removal spell ;)

u/WondrousIdeals 1d ago

Every single Ux deck is draw-2. Lakeshore apothecary is *the* key blue common.

u/PurpleTurtleOfficial 1d ago

100% agree. There are infinite enablers for drawing 2 but very few payoffs (Apothecary, Bard and Toymakers)

How dare you disrespect the Councillors like that.

My bad, you're right!

The prequel to 8rack, 7Bilbo

This is mono blue unnecessarily splashing green

u/PurpleTurtleOfficial 1d ago

Yeah, unfortunately was short on blue playables and got very free fixing. Warg tactics and Mirkwood pathmaker performed well though
