Whoops, you’re right on that card printing. My bad!

The infinite combo with Jace and Kefnet is a funny one.

I have gone back and forth on the new Ral. When he's better than Jace, he's much better. When he's worse, he's a lot worse. Weighing him up in all situations, I think he comes in at just slightly worse. I would say that I think he's better than Chandra in any situation though and wouldn't consider running her again (I know she was an unpopular choice in the first place, I just think he's strictly better than her).

Ah, I was looking for something like Revoke Existence, but couldn't find it, good call.

The only thing that I like about Act of Authority it is has that 2 for 1 potential. They have to answer it to play a second or it pulls a second card out of their hand in order to continue on in their strategy. Revoke Existence is probably the card you're wanting here though.

Act of authority or Return to dust

Congrats on day 2 and cashing!

Timely reinforcements is interesting to have mainboard. How has it performed? I’ve loved it sideboard.

What did your human's opponent's name with meddling mage?

I’d primarily run it alongside Prismatic Omen as you can find, and trigger, 2 Valakuts.

Good call out for the “red deck wins” matchups. I’ll definitely adjust on that front.

What have you disliked about Mission Briefing? I’ve loved how it digs up to two deep and repeats a spell (I’ve loved casting the suspend cards from the graveyard with As Foretold).

I like how storm is a 10 on the storm scale... and it's currently in standard. Just saying!

Haven't played this deck regularly for years (Cascade version). Looking to shift to Electrobalance and run this at FNM in a week. Curious on some feedback from your personal experiences. You'll notice I'm going quite deep into combo consistency over raw power.

That’s happened many times. Premium versions of Reserved List cards being one of those times.

They get away with it because people don’t want to walk away from an investment... well, and that the game is such a blast to play.

Just thinking out loud - arent GPs more frequent nowadays than in 2015? IF that is the case, then it’s not a complete 1:1 comparison, but still interesting to see.

I could be wrong on what I’m remembering though.

First time getting into standard because of Mtg Arena.

Wanted advice for rotation. What would be the best deck (excluding gates) to build that would be the least impacted from the rotation this fall?

I disagree with this assessment of big mana decks. What I feel she fails to consider is the matchups, not how it handles a hate card

I mean I think its obvious Answers have not kept pace with Threats. Answers are basically too slow and/or not versatile enough for Modern.

Agreed to an extent. If you look across the ways that aggro has expanded the axis in which it can attack:
1. Uncounterable (Vial & Cavern)
2. From the Graveyard (Dredge)
3. From the library (Collected Company)
4. From the hand (Burn)
5. With protection (GDS, Spirits, Humans)
