Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"An extended list of all cards you could use to interact with your opponent before your first turn. \n\nNote that this does not cover every possible turn 0 play. For example, you could theoretically bolt your opponent's creature turn 1 if you open Simian Spirit Guide. But if I count bolt for this reason I would need to include all red or green instants with cmc = 1, or maybe all the way up to 4 - which would invalidate this list.\n"}]}
