    note that while Anchor is in play, any scrying is affected by it, so those cards you kept on top in the fourth match from Urza's Commands could also have been bottomed and you would still have access to them (provided that the Anchor didn't get hit with removal)

  • @MainTopmastStaysail
    @MainTopmastStaysail ปีที่แล้ว +5

    32:00 I think the play here would have been to +2 twice and use Mightstone on the creature thanks to the discount. If he has creatures Urza's ult cleans them up (along with that enchantment). If he has spells, the +4 life keeps you alive and you can do it again next turn. The best he can have is a haste creature, but those will need to hit Urza or you can gain some life back and still ult. Using the -3 on a card that can't do anything by itself left Urza vulnerable to a kill spell.

    How about showing the 'Deck Details' screen even briefly in the Deck Tech section?
    Even if it's less than 2-3 seconds, if I can see for a moment, I can easily recognize the mana curve of this deck as a number, how much mana is combined by color, and how many card types are made up of cards.
    I'm wondering if it's possible.
