Leaving Unwinding Clock alone in a Shorikai deck is the same as leaving Seedborn Muse alone in a Thrasios deck.

Free mulligans in cEDH? Impossible. That completely bypasses the drawback of building a greedy manabase and gives any storm deck an unfair advantage.

That ashani win was a refreshing and great way to see a win. Finally it wasn't the bloody demon fish combo...

I run shorikai and was great to see it in today's episode! I might have to add some stax to it. Right now it's set up to try and go with untap effects. Such a fun deck to pilot!!

He also revealed chain of vapor, so my choice of casting it was the difference of 14 treasures instead of 12. He also revealed a windfall which if he ended up casting, I would then lose the memnite and not casting it would lose me tempo if it did make it back to my turn.

I’ve had these Yuriko reveals as well. It’s like opening 12 different presents and they’re all the same pair of white socks. #Pain

To be honest, I think Blind Obedience is still underplayed. It's an outlet for stuff like Scepter or Bomberman while hosing Kiki lines, Dockside ramp and greedy Naus players. Also in a deck like Shorikai playing it as an outlet saves you from running otherwise dead cards like Thoracle.

@@Xeno-MTG Its mostly because of online mentality when it comes to winning cEDH games.

Yeah, the only reason to try a "next level play" and wait until after Blockers would be if you expected a Ninjutsu activation, leaving you to then remove the perfect target when they tap out. But Krark provides so much variance already that you're either asking to get blown out OR potentially leaving free value in copied spells on the table. Or both! Sometimes the first level is best.
