another huge issue i have with wilderness rec is that it doesn't require you to take calculated risk with mana usage. What's it really hurt to use up all your mana on your turn and have a counter spell or an instant answer to your opponent when you have Wilderness Rec. Without Rec you have to at least leave mana open and make decisions. With it you just play all you want and still get your answers too.

Hey look buddy! I do not think that Kristof invented the ramp-reclamation-explosion-strategy. I know that he built the deck on his own, but the thoughts behind that were never new.

@Poleelop114 жыл бұрын
It's because a 6 mana play that does nothing the turn its played can lose you the game if the opponent has a play. With the prevalence of (pre-ban) teferi/brazen borrower, if your 6 mana play gets bounced. That swing can easily lose you the game. Additionally because of the cycling effect, it gets around t3feri passive, and cant be countered. There are times to play the 6 mana effect, but realistically 99 times out of 100, the correct play is to use the cycling. It's just so damn good compared to the fickleness of the enchantment.
@TheForswornKing4 жыл бұрын
because why wait for an X/X shark after you use 6 mana to cast the enchantment and then the other mana to cast a spell when you can run out a 8/8 or higher shark that most of the time that honestly doesn't get answered immediately the majority of the time. The only reason it got answered so many times here was because of heartless act being so prevalent in Riku's deck.
