As far as I see, book of eclipse is a quick play but using means if you don’t clear their board your giving them draws. SOCL does not give draws and locks them down for 2 turns.
If your opponent stacks a board and you’re going second besides pushing out engage zero and wiping is their any other plan that sky striker uses? I have no idea why I’m summoning these links or for what purpose.
Once you pull the ED steal out it’s game over. Cause you can the board wipe spell and steal their most powerful monster from their GY after they had to use all their negates on you. The only deck that beats it is the golden lord but the opponent has to set full backrow to win.
If no new players join what’s to prevent magic from failing overnight when 30-40 year old players stop playing the game?
