Both cards are usually good by themselves, though Mindslaver can be bad if you don’t have a strong board presence.

You should have pumped his power to 5 and left the other counters. You could then keep them or cash them in for a card and 2 life a piece instead of just 2 life a piece.

You need creatures to utilize those equipments, and you can’t really take advantage of Mortarpod at all without a fair amount of creatures. Cold-eyed selkie probably should have been the pick over Opportunity, if anything mainly due to the SFM getting equipments to pump it, as it just pretty much spells GG against any blue opponent (which is extremely popular in cube). And Cloudgoat Ranger was probably the pick over Ponder, and would have been AMAZING

I had a game recently where I sided in Manriki Guasari and Needle to my own Stoneforge deck to beat an opposing Jitte. Made me think about the time we played the finals of PTQ Jitte in Belgium ;)

Also, dont you like Arena? You didnt mention it, but I think it’s really powerful.

Who cares about the size of the words he uses anyways?! Go back to middle school if “integral” and “insofar” confuse you. GL in Barcelona!
