Niche interaction with 4mv Yuriko

If you attack face with 1 creature and send some other creatures at a Jace, the 1 creature still gets double strike.

[[Yuriko, Blade of the Mighty]] text says: "Whenever a creature you control attacks a player alone it gains double strike"

The way this effect used to be worded was "[If your] creature attacks alone, it gains double strike".

Anyone got a pick order list for Mixed up Premier?

I've been trying to make my own but can't figure out if I should put [[Almighty Brushwagg]] at rank #8,266 or #8,267.

Would appreciate any help filling in some of card rankings as well. It's a lot of work.

Write up on some unusual MSH drafts I've had

Herein I showcase my top 3 most interesting trophy decks of the set, with some comments.

###Reed Richards deck https://www.17lands.com/deck/20d319fb836c460496cb887ecc936334/0?view=deck

  • Saw 4 Reeds during draft (I think they all wheeled as well? crazy.) and tried to get it to work. Blue was very open in general, got lots of good blue cards late.
  • Token sources were Shield Drone, 2 Ant army, 2 uncommon Ant man and 2 Atlantis attacks. 7 sources, it felt like plenty.
  • The 2/4 reach statline is very effective at slowing the game down. Reach is huge.
  • I drew ridiculous amounts of cards in these matches. Deck was very go big.
  • [[Super intelligence]] popped off hard in my games. Turn 3 intelligence + holding up We say thee nay was nasty. Otherwise it often didn't get removed and I just drew a billion cards. Maybe I just got lucky? Often it felt ok to get a dork 2 for 1-ed because the follow up Reed would have a higher chance of surviving.
  • disgusting value game 4 https://www.17lands.com/history/20d319fb836c460496cb887ecc936334/3/0

###RG grindy/control https://www.17lands.com/deck/d164095d92db46b481131daf2c752756/0?view=deck

  • Midway into the format, I wanted to make a RG control deck work. [[Call Damage Control]] was basically a free pickup and Herbie, Crimson Op are artifacts that put you up on cards, so combining it with CDC gives you double the value. Wow!
  • This deck turned out a little short on herbies and ops but Kree Sentinel ended up being a great target for CDC since you can cycle it. (plus, the statline + reach is great defence)
  • Mainly notable for having some great games:

###Simulacrum Synthesizer deck https://www.17lands.com/deck/7b0cb6447f1c40118cd16547b05f523b/0?view=deck

  • This one's a quick draft. I was trying to do the RG control thing again but only got a single CDC (unlucky) but was gifted a simulacrum synth p3p2 while having a bunch of crimson ops (lucky!)
  • The games are... not that interesting... just draw synth and win. I was pretty lucky with drawing the synth early in many games. I guess I also had a good amount of card flow with jessica jones, 4 ops and herbie and some other cantrips.
  • For a demonstration of synth power, game 4: https://www.17lands.com/history/7b0cb6447f1c40118cd16547b05f523b/3/0/0
  • I also splashed a p1p1 superhero civil war.

Finally, a heartfelt declaration:

I LOVE GUERILLA GORILLA! I LOVE CRIMSON OP! I LOVE HERBIE!!

THANK YOU!!!
