Go To Turn Around

The first run with Safe In Mind felt pretty good. I had a couple games against Caitlin; the first one was especially brutal for her, because she was playing a U/G deck that wanted to draw a bunch of cards.

But future matchups also leaned in my favor, even games where I had to mulligan. Mulligans were occasionally a positive for me, because if I got a solid draw, I could get out Dark Suspicions and have even less of a hand than I did!

Caitlin was kind enough to look through the deck and she had a few suggestions starting with: Madness and Delve.

I have to admit, Madness wasn't something I had thought about but there are new cards to consider and Delve was a mechanic that came up as we were talking and I can't see a good reason why I shouldn't look into it. Sure the best cards are banned but there might be something worth having!

She also pointed out to me that the Familiars would ideally work best in decks of three colors, which is true.

This has lead me to look at the deck at large, wondering if and  how it should be revised. Because if anything, this blog has taught me that I can't afford to half-ass my deck ideas. I'm too far off the beaten trail to do so. I really do have to min-max things in my own way, so I need to let of those old notions.

I'll get on that next.
