time to burn some play points on this pile

That looks really cool. Let me know if your going to stream it.

Stealing an Ancestral is less important than it used to be too. We have PO now and every deck plays some way of making sure their Ancestral resolves. Its not realistic to steal one, its not as worth it to steal one.

This isn't a single card discussion, but more of a directional query. The cards spoiled for Ultimate Masters are all Really Good -even in a masters set and theres only 41 spoiled so far.

Heres the list thus far

Over 200 cards yet to be spoiled and these look shockingly good as far as eternal formats go. Is this a cash grab by wizards, or is something else going on?

Hapless Researcher maybe? You don't often need more than one loot, he's cheaper and kills bridges. I also don't know how necessary a looter is.

I'm not on twitter much, I did share and favorite though. When do we find out who the winners are?

I'm not 100% on this. But I think if chains was really worth using Spirit of the labyrinth would see more play in hate bear lists.

@drstreetmention @neo_altoid
Grats guys.

@wfain I think you will have accomplished alot even if your brew has only won one big championship.

I would love to see them take it all. Them or @The-Atog-Lord, he deserves it by now.

Crazy how inexpensive Survival is online compared to paper. Great article!
