  • @theArcosa
    @theArcosa Рік тому +23

    The Mizzix's Mastery was handled a little incorrectly. Since Electrostatic Field and Urabrask are both cast triggers, they should have had their triggers resolve after the spells were all simultaneously put on the stack, BEFORE anything resolved.
    In addition, the Cathartic Reunion should have had its costs paid upon putting the spell on the stack (not after the Reverberate resolution), meaning the cards drawn from the copy of Cathartic Reunion can't be discarded to pay the additional cost.

  • @bouboulroz
    @bouboulroz Рік тому +37

    It didn't really matter at the end, but be mindful of how you handle Storm guys. Spells with Storm copy themselves on cast, not when they resolve, so the counter should have been lower for at least one of them.

    • @Shadowlink4546
      @Shadowlink4546 Рік тому +2

    A lot of interesting looking decks on display. Was surprised that Sheoldred didn’t end up running area with it like everyone else.
    I did, however, learn there are in fact worse things out there than the Orzhov Removal-Piles-with-some-Vampires my little Green heart curses so often on Fridays, so thanks for that horrifying glimpse of Worse! ;)

    Since I watched several videos about Urabrask decks, I thought on building a storm deck. One of the first days I played it with the few things I had, I played against a Baral deck and I lost because I didn't have red/pyro blast and he mocked me for not having them. Now I have all of that plus Tibalt's trickery and now Baral is no longer a problem ;)
    Long live the best praetor Urabrask

    When someone i play with casts an Mizzix Mastery with a full graveyard, they can play until they miss a trigger or make a mistake. If they do so they have to end their turn. So everybody has to watch what is happening and is still excited to spot a Mistake.
    Usually when Mizzix Mastery is cast it has a big impact, but nobody wants to resolve the stack or watch what happens.
