      Two big ones I saw were in the first 10 minutes of play
      - Argothian Enchantress IS a creature. "Summon __" cards are creature cards, in this case she would be the Enchantress creature type.
      - Ryan misread Tainted Aether and interpreted it as sacking a creature, so he thought Lifeline was a counter to it.

    Drew actually had a pretty cool interaction because those enchantments aren't tokens, they're creatures. The card still exists. He could sac his enchantments that became creatures, then they would come back at the end of turn as enchantments (because Lifeline says "card" not "creature"), which would mean he wouldn't have to sacrifice a creature. As long as someone triggered them to turn back into creatures, he could keep the cycle going.

      @SkillCheckShow  3 місяці тому +1

      Hi! Split the packs evenly. Look for a commander (legendary creature or planeswalker). Keep them separate from your deck and you may play them at normal times. If they leave the battlefield, cast them for 2 extra mana per time casted. Construct your deck with only cards you've pulled and the colors must match your commander. If you don't get enough cards to make a decent deck in that color (or no legendaries) you can use any multicolored creature. If that still doesn't work, choose two mono colored creatures to be partner commanders. Its limited so you can use as many copies of a card you've pulled that you have. 60 card minimum deck (can play more). 40 life for everyone, 21 combat damage from a single commander to a person is lethal. Don't forget to celebrate best pull!
