Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"Originally built this with lower power in mind, with the primary goal being to draw a lot of cards. But as it turns out, drawing a lot of cards is often good, and I sometimes was told that it was too strong for B2 (I still disagree and think people underestimate B2 as being jankier than it is, but if people are going to treat Ojer Pakpatiq as B3 anyway, might as well have some fun with cyc rift). Glacial chasm is on my radar for another GC to add, since I usually just need to survive attacks until my engines are humming. \n\nUsually how this plays is ramp on t2, put down some value piece on t3, get some cast triggers going and fill your hand for a turn or two, then cast Ojer Pakpatiq when you have protection in hand and you're ready to go foom. From t4 onward you want to do as much at instant speed as possible, usually holding interaction for big threats and to protect your life total (notably there's no lifegain in here; wondering if I should add Witch's Clinic, though I want the Island count to remain high for Flow of Knowledge, High Tide, and Mystic Sanctuary), then if you get to end step with mana left you can draw cards. \n\nOnce people see you rebounding things like Cyber Conversion, High Tide, and Marang River Regent, you will for sure be identified as the archenemy, so try to keep a low profile until you have enough momentum to win through some interaction. Speaking of which, your main wincons are going to be Psychosis Crawler, Homunculus Horde, drake tokens, and maybe even surprising someone with commander damage thanks to Lyla (Flow of Knowledge on end step + rebound can easily put Ojer Pakpatiq in OHKO range, then after drawing that many cards hopefully you can bounce whatever flying blockers are protecting your mark). There's also the fun option of Reins of Power, which is useful when there's a player with a huge board that you can turn against them. You can also use it as a fog effect when you're being attacked, and then get a quasi-insurrection when it rebounds the next turn. \n\nIf you know you're going to draw a lot of cards during your own turn, hold off on playing your land until you're done drawing cards. Having reliquary tower makes a massive difference, you really want a wide range of instant-speed options to survive each turn cycle in the mid-to-late game, and you also want enough lands in hand to not worry about missing your land drops either. \n\nA fun trick with Walking Atlas and Pupu UFO is using them to get Talon Gates of Madara in play for free, protecting Ojer Pakpatiq or phasing out a problematic creature. You can also hide how much mana you truly have open by waiting to activate them until you need to cast a spell that's greater cmc than the number of untapped lands you have. \n\nThe main weaknesses are aggro/stompy decks (it takes a few turns before drawing cards starts generating a decent number of chump blockers), and repeatable removal tied to abilities (e.g., a Bello with Gimli's Reckless Might in play will often wreck your value pieces until you can both bounce it and then counter it when they recast). If you're going against aggro, such as Isshin or Krenko, then opening hands with Propaganda should probably be kept as long as you have 2+ lands to go with it. \n\nConsidering: Amphibian Downpour? Hullbreaker Horror? Both could have hugely impactful moments but might be annoying to play against, especially the latter. \n"}]}
