@Evu @silverchase I haven't read them yet, but they did announce that Jace wasn't actually going to Bloomburrow, and that art was from a special "imagine if Planeswalker 'x' went to Bloomburrow"series.
Besides, tomorrow is the big announcement stream. I'm sure they'll have more stories and a ton more cards spoiled in the next few weeks
@TheMagicer @Basilisk
😂 I personally see a T1 Sol Ring as a challenge from the universe to try and go 1v3 and take them all out by myself. It usually ends with me dying spectacularly.
@TheMagicer of course I have other decks that are better at drawing cards so it's fine if they overextend because I can probably draw out of it. Definitely deck-dependent
@TheMagicer carefully conserving resources is actually a very important skill in the game.
I play a Iroas aggro deck that can be very explosive, but is bad at drawing cards.
It needs to get to 7 devotion for Iroas, but any extra creatures don't bring much benefit while do bring a lot of risk. If I have no cards in hand and get board wiped, I'm basically done. So I always try to hold back as much as I can after 7 devotion to prepare.
Im glad you're thinking about this! A real level up.
@TheMagicer I guess it depends on what you mean by "fake falling behind".
I do conserve my resources to avoid being perceived as a threat. That's not only proper resource logistics, it's also saving my stuff from removal to reduce risk.
I will also argue that I am not a threat based on my board state compared to other players, or try to convince people that some plays are unnecessary.
I think the difference is between lying about my luck vs being strategic in how I present my board state
@meant2live218 @mike maybe 3 standard sets plus the permanent standard set that they announced would work. If that's just 200 or so evergreen standard cards it would provide that extra bump
