Two Tithes and two Studies out at the same time is a chaos I had never even considered the implications of until just now. “Do you pay the one?” “No. Do you draw?” “…no.” …is a wild back and forth lmao

Kamigawa Neon Dynasty was my first set getting into MTG so this had an additional nostalgic feeling. I really enjoy this type of themed decks! Also Shoutout to the hardworking producers and creatives behind the scenes! The interaction between CGB and Blake with Rhystic Study and Smothering Tithe is ridiculous.

This taught me a lot, both in things I didn't realize like how targeted removal is (once again) less effective against another commander but also in confirmation of play patterns I've hypothesized to increase longevity so I can win with my favorite commander, Go - Shintai. Loved the game, thank you!

I’m fine with having one or the other between Rhystic Study or Smothering Tithe on my board at a time, but not both. I’m self conscious enough about just having one out, and about how much time I take on my own turns.
