Re: Eddie Lives - Straight Blue - MFFA

Yeah I had a chance to play at lunch. Twiddle and Standstill served no purpose. I will be substituting for a different support card. Maybe a set of Unsummon's and an extra Jace.....I won't have a chance to play this in MFFA till next Saturday. I have to wait for another Jace to come in the mail. I've also borrowed a set of forsaken city's untill i get my own. Can't wait to see the result!

I've always stared at my stasis' and wondered what to do with them!! I know MDV has a few decks and i thought the coolest one was the Papercut, but man some of them cards were expensive. Looks like a new synergy with stasis has been found!!

I might take out two islands and add Tolarian Academy's to help speed up the process of death!

Might consider arcane laboratory. As it slows decks down.

Actually the concept is far from new, but your build is different . Frankly, I'd rather play it Owling Mine-style, with red as a support color and no Stasis, but that's just me.

DEAL WITH IT.

I'm getting very sick of, every time we see a cool creature - or any card, so many people just go "But it dies to (random kill card X). Yes, there are answers to it. But you know what? There are answers to those answers. That's the beauty of the game. Look at a card based on its own merits, don't just think "Terror, next" or "Naturalize, next" or "Cancel, next". Cause if you think that way, then every card sucks. The game sucks. Even those answers you just listed SUCK.

GET OVER IT.

That is all.

Re: Eddie Lives - Straight Blue - MFFA

Change out the Unsummon with a Snap. Viola! You have a "free" unsummon and you get your lands untapped with stasis out on the board.

Also because it's artifact heavy I took out One Jace and put in a Tezzeret. Should help with the stasis!
