although rd2 was more what could i do then a poor decision

For def; I usually ride out bad hands, esp. if it’s a “just draw one land and I’m gas” opener. I hate to throw back something, esp. on the play, that could pan out fantastically if only I hit a measly land. I’m a greedy one in the risk vs. reward department, but it usually fares thee well. At times, I keep weird hands just to demonstrate probable outcomes for the videos, usually verbally bookmarking these occasions.

But yeah, this deck was rad when it worked but turdsville when it didn’t.

game two’s hand was full of manafixing and had a goyf to apply pressure.. not terrible but not really spectacular.

Yes there was some amount of bad beats (especially the nestcraft loss) but you put yourself in the position to lose to them by keeping hands (and playing a deck) that doesn’t really interact until midgame.

Against mopey decks (like EVERY singleton deck *I* seem to be building) it just inexorably crushes.
