    Card/Deck Ug... What should I do with my Blue-Green section?

    Thragtusk in particular is a pretty funny example to use as a tempo card because iirc he was printed specifically to combat Delver tempo decks and their Vapor Snags. And I quite enjoy these theory discussions, although this might have taken over the thread a bit, I think it's interesting to...

    Card/Deck Ug... What should I do with my Blue-Green section?

    Card/Deck Ug... What should I do with my Blue-Green section?

    With all this talk of Lorescale Coatl I want to try it just so I can curve Sylvan Library into it and follow up with Jace TMS. Also my understanding of tempo was that it was a strategy that trades cards for time, eg a deck that wants bounce effects which, whilst they're inherent card...

    I had an idea for a planeswalker: Tezzeret {W}{U}{B} 0: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature 0: Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature 0: Proliferate Starting loyalty: I dunno, 2 or 3

    When you get to play Grave Titan you can call it riding the gravy train, and that puts it into playable for me.

    I think the difference between that an a vanilla 2/1 for 1W is incredibly small. Edit: I think this will play out being pretty much Imposing Sovereign

    Watford, I don't usually head down to London to play but I'll probably be at GP London. Not sure if I'm going to play the main event yet.

    You wouldn't have to do that if you just played lands in front.
