Hey Robert, great league! Chiming in from the peanut gallery because I think you might've had an out g2 against doomsday match 3: I think you can survive and threaten a win if you save your reflection for your endstep. If you hold priority at end step and make a copy of your engineer, you can search out pithing needle and swap it in for bauble using the original engineer. This will prevent the frog from flying on their turn and prevent it from even threatening lethal unless they discard their hand then. You can block the two attackers with magus + engineer copy, before damage swap the needle out for grindstone + win the following turn once the OG engineer untaps. You don't even have to block with magus unless they discarded their whole hand the previous turn. I probably wouldn't have found it in paper, just thought it was a sweet line and wanted to share.
Thank you Brother appreciate it! Grindy game, and I was thinking there could have been a line somewhere. I appreciate the feedback, sometimes in the moment there is a lot going on.
Wow, great league! Needle on Bloodstained Mire into Blood Moon.... You know your opponent is going to toss and turn in the night thinking about that play. Have you tried the sideboard City of Traitors? I just tried it, and it definitely smoothed out the Blood Moon games and made it easier to take out Sagas.
It keeps happening Sean.. multiple Saga in hand when Blood Moon in play. I trim Saga but still want the third land drop in any event. I haven’t yet, and think it’s a sweet idea especially where Moon is strong. Also liking the idea of Cage, good looks.

This is my favourite painter version of them all ❤
Me too! ❤️
