Nice deck list with detailed explanations easy to understand! I haven't started testing with set 5 yet, so this would be a good base for me to try out Purple/Yellow!
I've been playing around with the yellow purple list, but mine looks quite a bit different from this - i tried to go hard on the 2 cost theme by playing hellish birthday - the combo of hellish birthday getting back detective Pentan is so fun
Yeah the 2s focus isn't a bad route to go, I just don't think it has as much inherent resilience Definitely has explosivity with the new "give 2s astral" and holy potion, but I prefer more consistency/recursion
@@JMarGameDesign I was playing around with royal potion before set 5 trying to use Caladrius/Scarecrow with Librarian Saga to create infinite attacks - now that set 5 is out, I don't think royal potion or the astral spell are worth it - casino and game of destruction creates some really cool lines - getting to surprise trade with a thing, and sometimes also kill another thing is pretty big, and detective Pentan gets game back too
I haven't seen one yet, I might look into a brew of the list myself But as far as I'm aware you're basically just playing a low-end of green ramp + maybe deepwalkers to ramp with labyrinth, and then a top end w/ Hydra no idea if you're really running fenghaung or highlands or even any of the gale stuff TBH but it does sound a little goofy
I wanted more consistency for the card draw and especially for core ramp, and while casino offers solid removal and arguably better reduction (being 1 yellow/purple vs locked into 1 or the other) I don't think it contributes to the gameplan as well as cathedral or swamp

Glad it was helpful for ya, hope you find a list that works for you!

why not casino ?

What if you were just this based (oh, you are my b)
Man it's the weight of the world on my shoulders being this based
