Useful stuff, well done. Knew half of those things, but I never noticed you cannot bluff a non-land of Growth Spiral/Uro, despite the fact that I do play Bant Ramp regularly. From my own experience, whenever I'm flooding out and have like 4 cards in hand, all lands, I tend to put stop on all my phases to keep the priority after land drop, and then also on my opponent steps. Helps me keep my opponents on their toes, and a couple of times it made them play around my not-present answers, which gave me precious draw steps to get out of the tight spot. You make great content, Matt. Thank you.

Just want to add extra thing or two. First of all don't be scared to press shift enter because game won't skip declare blockers step. Second, if you press ctrl when trigger goes on the stack nothing will happen. You will get you stop on the next phase/step. Third one - put stops on opponent phases ex. upkeep instead of pressing full control, but be aware that you can't place stops in combat steps. You need to hold full control after first main if you want to represent brazen borrower or card that targets any non-land permanent in play at instant speed, cause otherwise turns combat just skips through at lightning speed and thats a huge tell. There are more specific cases, but you should know these 3.

I really wish we had more Matt Sperling content. I’ve been a big fan ever since the MagicTV old days

[@SebbeEugen]

Great Video. Thanks for the advice. What is you opinion on only playing with full control enabled? Do you think it is a smart move or are there any disandvatages to that?

1:59 Such a Savage for saying it so calmly: ALT + F4 - Grab some free gems if you run out. I could not have said that line with a straight face ;)

Awesome content, thank you !

[@myztik5716]

Pretty sure left Ctrl by itself just gives you priority for your next action and not necessarily for the entirety of the phase until your next phase

[@R3ach4Th3Sky]

Matt do you stream? If so where and when?

[@MattSperlingMTG]

I do not (once in a blue moon maybe, but basically no)

[@florianw116]

I hope this is not about emoting "good game" to make your opponent accidentally target themselves by replying to you.
