As you saw, this deck beats a lot of midrange decks, loses to Punishing Fire, and can’t reliably beat Glimpse of Nature or Natural Order. The sheer diversity of answers, however, gave us the ability to grind out a Miracles player with a ton of different win conditions.

Imagine how much easier it would have been if he had just had Jaces and Entreats!

I’m at a bit of a loss about what to write about for the next month.

Grand Prix Washington DC is coming up soon, and I want to make sure I provide the most relevant content that I can. Let me hear from you in the comments—what would you like to see?

Until next week,
