Yeah games like this make me want to play Counterbalance, but I ultimately feel like it's a trap... It's not nearly this good all the time.

@@thomasnoonan2039It’s Falco Spara so not only does the commander let him look and remove the top card of his library he also runs a bunch of top card manipulation effects. Counterbalance is fantastic when your entire deck is designed to manipulate top card.

Damn I was counting Falco out before that game started. Counterbalance is messed up and Rashmi.. that card is off the chain. I have always flirted w the idea of building Rashmi but never liked simic 🤷♂️. Maybe Thrassios Smasher is my deck? Great games👍 I honestly thought Rog Silas would be able to blast thru every game against those lower tier lists but the politics and pilot skill matter a whole lot in cEdh.
