    I too Love Dragons. I moved my Ur into the deck which is commanded by "The Elk" with ALL the Reducers where I've played Ur for like 3 mana. Love it!

    I love this series so much ❤just being able to see how chaotic the game can get or STARTS!!! Everyone there brought such powerful decks with great attitudes 😄.Was so hyped when Olivia started the game off with 2 mana vaults on the field. thought it couldn't get much better than that with how bomber of a turn 1 that is, but then Brian just goes "Aww how cute, hold my beer" then proceeds to have 8 mana by the end of turn 1!

      Because he blew up a draw seven from the player with an Ur-Dragon, a Rhystic Study, and an Unwinding Clock making 27 mana per turn?

      @@AlienoidGamer I don't think it is political; making deals or alliances, stirring your opponents against each other IS, definitely. But misrepresenting your own boardstate, loudly exclaiming "i'm not a threat!" when everyone has correctly assessed that you are a threat, and then giving even more outrage when removal is rightly pointed at you isn't politics, it's just being a pain in the ass. She's not getting results out of being cunning or sneaky or diverting attention, instead her opponents give her more slack because people naturally want to avoid that kind of tension/outrage in a friendly game.
