Possible turn two, frequent turn three to four. Problems are consistency and dealing with control measures. I had another version that splashed blue for counters, draw etc. But I found that the blue, while offering some protection, effectively slowed the deck. I think the speed and protection by redundancy is a better bet.
Thoughts?
I know the conventional wisdom is that Pebbles can't be competitive and I tend to agree given the meta. But I figure, if anyone can help, it's you fine people..
So the big problems with Fruity Pebbles in Vintage are that (A): You need two cards that don't do much on their own to function, (B): You don't put up much of a fight against most if not all T1 decks, and (C): You die to hate that is already in the format.
An alternative idea is to maybe try for Cheerios? While it's still not going to be tier 1, if you run a Neo-Academy variant, you can probably make something decent.
