Re: What LSV said I think it is fundamentally erroneous to say that Strategy X is innately better than Strategy Y. I think the trap that some people (Mike, old school LSV, myself sometimes) is that we get comfortable with midrange decks and so our testing is skewed by that. If we were better, we would have a more accurate understanding of what the best deck is, whether it has Vendilion Cliques or Loxodon Hierarchs (or Martyr of Sands!). Re: Cascade Ramp I think this is what happens when you make Null Rod's flavor text into a card...except Gerrard is right this time. But OH MAN is Enlisted Wurm exciting. It's always fantastic in Limited...why not 60 cards? As per my last comment, I'm definitely bombing out of Regionals this year. Thanks Mike. Maybe it needs like 2x Fallout main? Re: LSV
