Nether Spirit! The memories! I seriously have to get into this format.

[@brunomastrantonio1952]

Love It! I like to play a UG tempo similar to the old miracle gro! Cantrips, free spells and Quirion Dryads, rly Fun!

[@deteresaFlamenco]

These decks are getting spicy, love it.

[@CloudgoatRanger]

I really like the UR list, tons of fun to play.

[@joel767]

ooooooooooooo fancy intro

[@Melvinvanharn]

I honestly think putting the Curiosity on the Nether Spirit might have been correct at some point in the first two games. The second game, when you COULD have gone Cloud of Fairies, Standstill, on the 2nd turn, why not?

[@CloudgoatRanger]

Curiosity only triggers when the creature deals damage to your (the controller of the Curiosity), so I won't draw extra cards if it goes on my opponent's creatures.
Game 2 I wanted to play Curiosity on the Cloud of Faeries, then play the Standstill. So I was waiting until turn 3

[@Melvinvanharn]

@@CloudgoatRanger You are correct. I thought it triggered whenever the creature dealt damage to a player, not an "opponent". I think given the opponents level of removal, having a threat in the Fairies+Standstill is better than being greedy and waiting on the Curiosity.
