On M1G1 I think the correct play would be exactly what you said: counter the Careful Study using the REB. You had two counters, but the REB doesn’t counter entomb, reanimate or exhume. Not only that, Careful Study is his main way (outside of Entomb) to get his fatties in the graveyard…without that first step, his reanimates and exhumes are dead (awful pun totally intended). Anyway, great videos. Keep up the good work. Cheers!
Hi there!
While I do not play any eternal formats myself, I really enjoy your content here. Your column has really gotten me interested in Legacy and Classic, though I shan’t be able to afford it for some time.
Cheers!
Thanks for watching guys!
And I think that your explanation of that decision is totally correct, Victor. I think I had it in my head that I would want the REB to protect my FoW from his counterspells, but letting him bin a fattie AND draw two cards in the process was definitely wrong, and I should have just attacked that half of his combo rather than his copious volume of reanimation spells.
