  1. I should clar­ify my state­ment about the god draw “win­ning” turn four — Obvi­ously you don’t WIN per se that turn, but that’s when you take over the game with the god draw.

  2. But I see one flaw in your combination.

    When you “Open the vaults”, Glass­dust Hulk will get huge and unblock­able, but you still won’t be able to attack with it since it has sum­mon­ing sick­ness, right?

  3. I’m aware of that, Lars, but I’ll admit I did bypass the mul­ti­ple ways you can attack with an unblock­able Glass­dust Hulk. Whether you hard­cast the hulk or Open the Vaults a sec­ond time… what­ever works.

  4. Make a mono blue deck that wins.

  5. mainly because all other mono decks are viable…

  6. I might try that. May take a while. And absolutely no splash, correct?

  7. when my car isn’t run­ning right. I step on the gas. REALLY Hard.

    Fun Deck though. If you can find the right meta. In casual you would prob­a­bly lose some pals. It’s kinda rude to take all the turns in a game.
