the force of wills are 0 costing counterspells if i have them in my hand and if somebody tries to counter me playing progen or iona they will stop it to make sure i get to get my bombshell off to win

you do realize that to use force of will u need to pitch a blue card, seeing how you only have 6 in your deck, (2 being progenitus) its kinda unlikely that you would play them, considering its liek 100$ for a play set it just seems a little silly to use them in here especially since ur going for a turn 1 beat down.

i know its unlikely to have them and actually i got them for really cheap from my friend i gave him like 30 dollars and i built him a deck, he doesnt play blue so he didnt care much to get rid of them. and yea like i said its unlikely id need them, but they are there just in case i might just make a sideboard and throw them in there along with some other blue black hybrid stuff

cool deck. i see a small problem. if it is the first time playing this person's deck. you have no clue what color they are playing and if you go first and cast that card, you could probably call the wrong color. But that is the only downside.

Play combo, you say blue and the other person laughs cause they play black/white.

40 cards is the understood minimum outside of tournaments

this is pretty lovely. adding the painter's servant dknight27 suggested would be a good idea too. that way even if you call the wrong color at the start you can make up for it

Where'd you hear that, theoritition? I've NEVER played anybody with 40-card decks, except for people that JUST started with a recent theme deck, or limited formats..

theoritition is correct the minimum is 40 but i wanted 40 to ensure i get the combo easier, the normal is 60 yes but like he said, minimum painters servant would be really nice in this thx dknight

Why play against something so consistant it will almost always go off and do its combo turn 1? Silly. I thought this was suppose to be casual play where this kind of thing doesnt see play?
