      Not so sure it is good vs aggro. Turn 4 begin lifegain once? Maybe some games it may matter if they dont have enough indirect damage? Consistent aggro counters benefit from early creatures with power greater than 2, or toughness greater than 3

      @@stephenwithaph1566like with pristine talisman, 1 life per turn is still very good against aggro, and cornucopia rarely is only netting 1 life if you’re not monocolored. The point is that even just a couple life can buy you an extra turn against aggro, which will net you more life and put victory further and further away for the aggro player

    Few single cards seem as dirty as casting and flipping Invasion of Alara on the same turn.
    Sure plenty of plays can be more powerful, but making use of all the effects of each side just _feels_ so overwhelming.

      @@LegenVD I think you had a lucky run. I've won zero games, where I didn't draw Invasion of Alara and I don't win every game where I do draw it. I actually bricked in my first game and lost. Also, if you don't play it until turn 5, you will probably be dead before you can cast it. You really need to find some ramp or the right interaction to stay alive. My current win rate is 33%, so I wouldn't waste wildcards on it, if you don't already have most of the cards.

      ​@@erikblomqvist8325 It's still a combo deck at the end of the day, so you'll need to mulligan more than you're probably used to. Definitely had some fortunate games in the video, but even the old version was closer to 50% over a large sample. People are quick to downplay new decks, but often don't take the time to learn their inner workings. Aggro decks do well on the ladder because they're relatively straightforward to pilot.

      @@LegenVD You're probably right about the mulligan thing. I don't really play combo decks and I play a lot of limited, so I mostly mulligan if I don't have a playable curve. It's a fun deck, but I'm losing too much rank playing it. Will give it another try and see if I can improve my win rate by being a bit more aggressive with the mulligans.

(Bant mana being easier to line up than WUBRG) I think I've found a new jank experiment!!!

      You mean better than Herd Migration? The armadillo is 6 mana, but he needs 7 mana cards to flip the Invasion of Alara. Plus, the armadillo would be one body, whereas the Migration gets a wide army. If you really meant the Cornucopia then im not sure that follows? The rock will continually give him more life and more mana in the long run over the armadillo.
