Greetings, fellow cultists, and wow, what a game.
Listen, I felt so jerked around by this episode. Lol
Firstly, I owe Howard an apology because I discarded the Kithkin pair up so hard in my mind from the last game. It actually goes super hard. Seedborn muse-like effects are so good for it. I can now see the writing on the wall for it. Brigid, not caring about who IS attacking OR who they ARE attacking is actually wild. I can see this introducing an element of Monarch or things like that to entice people into attacking you or each other so that each turn, you can just cleave someone each turn of the game. You are about to win with craterhoof? Stop on damage step, no, you aren't. What's interesting is that you can hold priority to use a Maze of Ith (Labyrinth of Skophos / Thaumatic Compass) effect and selectively wipe out creatures or make deals to do so and control on board aggro. The deck lists for the episode seem to be '404 not found' but I'm assuming there is a sort of protection package as she doesn't share her benefits with herself. Teferi's protection is a staple of course but some extra bits like Lightning Greaves or Swiftfoot boots that can get her to tap without summoning sickness. Slippery Bogbonder as a body with instant speed interation. I can totally see a control shell here where you grind out value wins by stalling board progress while incentivizing your opponents to fight each other while you assemble some combo win like 'Selvala, Explorer Returned', 'Smothering Tithe', 'Umbral Mantle' to find and quickly grind out a 'Approach of the Second Sun' win. During normal game year round you could run her as the commander and witch it with these two in the deck for the yearly event. Sounds interesting and wild to me, and it would work virtually the same.
Secondly on my list of things is, wow does that Roxanne deck work, or does it work?! I'll say that both times she and a couple pieces have stayed on the board for more than three turns, it's basically run away with the game. It should definitely be respected. (Also, just as I was writing this Just thought about Thousand-year Elixir. Great for both the deck types.)
Thirdly, the Tony character arch here was devastating. Lol I was literally in my seat like "Oh god here comes Tony! Tony? Oh god, no Tony. Not like this." The turns that dinosaur comes down are nuts but the blowouts are soul crushing. 😂
As always I'm enjoying the content, and can't wait for the next batch of games. Hail Bolas.

-Howard here,
Thanks for the feedback as always. I was definitely hoping to pull cards like seedborn muse. You can check the decklist. The goal was to stall out until I could out value my opponents and go in with big trample creatures. Unfortunately i was flooded with lands and could not draw anything worthwhile towards the end.
Also I fixed the links to the deck lists. Thanks for identifying that for us!
