I don't want to mill my opponents, I don't want to kill them with a billion flying insects, and I don't want to shoot them for fifty damage with that tower that is in the list. This is from a time when I built decks with idiot-magnet cards because they eat removal. Would I say that these days my attitude has changed about that? I mean I still run the occasional planeswalker to fulfil that role. If they stick around, cool, value, but they're skewing the perspective of many people, and also let people feel content that they set you back. It's thought-removal. Yeah. \n\nEnchantments"},{"attributes":{"header":2},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nLooking at this again, lots of things I'd change for sure. I guess old me thought that I'd also mill people, and while that is feasible for this list and Arjun, I'd probably not do it any more. I'd rather look at colours that have a difficult time to do it. That's more fun. The challenge.\nForced Fruition and Archmage Ascension are about the only enchantments I really like on this list. Ascension helps you not deck yourself, but no one has ever fully put 6 counters on their ascension any way. \nDream Halls is cute as you might find yourself just having a lot more cards than your opponents due to things like Thought Reflection and Alhammarret's Archive, but generally speaking we're not a grouphug deck and letting our opponents cheat out things isn't what we want.\nMeishin has a special place in my heart and would be generally the card to keep in this. As said in the intro, we don't want to do anything but kill with specific spells under specific conditions. Making everything small is great.\n\nInstants"},{"attributes":{"header":2},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nNormally I'm of the opinion that "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Fork"}},{"insert":" spells are only as good as your and your opponents' worst spell and it still kind of is true. If you draw this after the RB player has emptied your hand, you'll likely cast it as soon as possible on whatever it is. It works a bit better here due to our win condition spells being wonky and conditional as fuck. But I'd definitely reduce the amount.\n\nSorceries"},{"attributes":{"header":2},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nThe main problem of this deck was that our hands filled up too fast, and our libraries emptied too quickly. So we had to run out not-quite-Timetwister friends and that causes an issue: our opponents are doing it, too. Inevitably this brings up the problem of having to shuffle so fucking much, and taking forever to set up our kill.\nI think a better approach would be finding the fine line of filling up just our opponents' hands and securing us our own save-from-decking cards. \nManifold Insights is a great EDH card. It involves everybody equally, and I think it's certainly good for any range of decks.\n\nCreatures"},{"attributes":{"header":2},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nI love Charmbreaker Devils and you can't stop me.\nTomorrow gets to stay, and so does Echo Mage.

If you win with this, it's fine, it's not the main plan, but it's not as incredibly easy as some other options. Runechanter's Pike is fine as a defensive tool, but if all of your stuff gets stopped, I guess you can go around piking people. \nSentinel Tower has to go, too.\n\nLands"},{"attributes":{"header":2},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nThey do exist.\nMikokoro is nice and friendly.
