In shambles rn

Happened yesterday and I'm still cringing thinking about my misplays.

Game 1: I used scry 2 and then shuffled my library, ([[Bilbo Baggins, Burglar]], [[Roads go Ever, Ever On]]) instead of the other way around. Which lead to me drawing only lands for the rest of the game.

Game 2: Opponent attacked with lethal and I used targeted removal on their creature ([[Thorin Oakenshield equipped with [[Dwarven Mattock]] + [[Bifur, Melodic Rider]]) instead of just using [[settle the wreckage]]. I only had two mana to pay the ward and forgot Bifur would double it.

I'm so mad at myself.

Advice for this deck?

Should I swap anything from sideboard?
Is the mana curve good?
Should I play more than 17 lands?
Thanks to anyone who comments!

Edit: Forgot to say I also have Eagle's Rescue on the sideboard

Of course I had to make a meme today, for the good old times.

I think it's a good time to try to finally get the master rank achievement.

Happy Paladins day!

How strong would Walpurgisnacht have to be for this card to be balanced?

Comment a card you'd pick or reply with an ability you'd give walpurgisnacht to counter another card!

I'll start: I'd give her "When this creature enters, each opponent can only cast one more spell this turn." to Counter Omniscience

Seiya, the Cautious Hero

I had a thought: What if I make a creature that is always prepared? A character immediately came to my mind: Seiya, from the anime "The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious".

His whole personality is being extremely cautious, to the point of using his signature spell "Hell's Fire" several times on an enemy's corpse, just to make sure they're really dead. The line "is always prepared" fits him perfectly, thematically and mechanically.

I also gave him a protection ability that matches his carefulness when choosing his opponents. And also had to invent what i call "Impulsive graveyard hate" in order to justify the signature spell being red.

Also yes, being always prepared isn't very different from an activated ability. But I don't care. It's a thematic win!

I've been having some visual glitches lately XD... There's this card showing up as face-down, it's probably thoughtseize (Breaking News ver.) seeing as its also glitched like the last image sometimes.

This card looks insane, but I see no one talking about it?

It's like a [[Ruin Crab]] for instants and sorceries but can target yourself as well? Pair this with cantrips and powerful delve spells like [[Treasure Cruise]] and [[Temporal Trespass]] and maybe add a [[Thassa's Oracle]] + [[Eden, Seat of the Sanctum]] as a wincon and you might have a new meta deck!

I've already tested and won some games in pioneer. Only sad part is that the delve cards don't trigger the mill 10 ability.
