      I actually thought that wasn't the worst idea. If she'd done it in combat, Josh could have used Akiri's ability in response to make her indestructible. Using it in upkeep means he doesn't really get to do that because it would tap her and deny him the ability to attack.

      You're assuming quite a lot here, pal. One game is really not big enough of a sample size to judge the strength of a deck or its pilot. And even if it was, she didn't do many plays that were objectively misplays? Just because you preface a sentence with "not to be an asshole" doesn't make it less harsh.
