I really liked how this episode started and went through all the way to the endgame.

Doing nothing for the entire game just to swoop in at the end, constantly bouncing and denying anything you do is just not fun, neither to play against or watch.

That blanka deck was super sweet. Gruul spellslinger... sort of. The Chun-li deck is one I have considered. you can do some weird things with her, like exiling Teferi's protection (there are strange ways to get it into the graveyard by making it a creature first and then killing it), meaning every time you attack, you phase out of the game, so noone can attack you ever, meaning, if your opponents have no alternative win cons, you win by default since they will draw out their deck before you do, because I assume you play some mill spells or X draw spells that target players, so force them to draw and then they die by default because they can't kill you so long as Chun-li gets to attack every turn. That is the only thing you need to make sure of, so a creature protection package needs to be there. But that sounds unfun to me, this looks fun though.

There's a lot of directions Chun *can* go, it just comes down to whether the amount of hoops you have to go through is feasible for any given strategy. You gotta have the card (Mystical Tutor every turn with Chun is pretty funny, but then you gotta bounce her and recast to multikick more), put it in the graveyard (Ledger Shredder is actually phenomenal for this, it was cool seeing it put in that work -- and would also work for Teferi's), cast Chun with multikicks, then *next* turn attack with her (hopefully with some form of protection) and have the mana available to cast the spells (and the timing of it makes a lot of the more fun 'untap your lands' instants less practical), and *then* have some sort of actual wincon on top of that. It's definitely a lot of fun, but it can be a lotta work, so if you aren't allowed to get your engine revving it feels real bad.

As some one who plays a high power Blanka deck I'm very pleased seeing how this deck is built in a more casual fashion. No matter how you build it that deck is fun 😍

Real shout out to Rachel!

It's interesting how you guys don't necessarily go for high power or CEDH; yet you play all these powerful/pricy cards that I'd rather keep out of my lower power games.

It does if you pay for it. You have to pay all the costs for the spells you cast with Chun-Li which means you're allowed to pay alternative costs. You only don't get to overload if it says "without paying it's mana cost." like most cards that have a similar effect do.

On a bit different topic: while illustrating deck tech or playing any chance to have a word on how to arrange lands? Meaning how many per type according to deck specs.

I was wondering when you guys would play these, awesome

I have a question on regards Chun li. The text of the card says: "Whenever Chun Li attacks, copy each exiled card you own with a kick counter on it. You may cast the copies." The text do not specify that you can cast the spell for free, or that you have to cast them right there. With that in mind, I understand that you get a copy of each spell to be casted whenever you want (it doesn't specify that the copies fade at the end of the turn or something).

You are correct they are not free, you have to pay the mana cost. It works the other way around: Everything a card tells you to do or allows you do, you do right away unless the card says otherwise. So you do have to cast them right as the trigger is resolving.
