Thanks for posting this, really liked watching it between rounds of my ext daily playing the non gifts version.
Why no 1 of Crypt for Knight of the Reliquary / Tarmogoyf?
Because its still worse than everything else in the deck… he has to take it out
Why not play Explosives for 1 on T1? He wouldnt keep a hand without 1-drop on the draw and it gives you a free Mana.

His lands were Verdant Catacombs and Hallowed Fountain, so he would have to pay 2 life to play EE first turn… He end up taking 2 from the Lynx, could have been 4 if his opp had a fetch, or 3 witha full-power nacatl… Or nothing if he just had kept without a 1-drop… Maybe it was worth waiting, but I am not sure…
Thanks Conley. Especially in light of your article from 2 days ago on learning levels, I find I’m struggling to identify when cards that are good in situation X are still strictly worse than a more global alternative. (Had a similar question for Matt Sperling re: Gatekeeper in Grixis).
I guess I don’t know what the odds of him having Extirpate are. Is it playing too cautiously to go Tezzeret, second sword before cashing in the first sword for thopters?
If you don’t board-in Pulse of the Fields in this match-up, then I can’t imagine when you ever will.
@John: mono red burn maybe?
