Forgot about the Rune! Arggg!

Ugh, this isn't going too well. Tap the Custodian to prevent 2.

Cards that let you look at your opponent's hand don't come up too often, and we're only playing a pack an expansion, so I'm not worried about it.

I agree, but that's the nature of this format.... library manipulating cards are dead cards, seeing opponent's hands are strong cards... <shrug> That's why Magic is random.

I'm gonna concede, I don't have any removal and no additional creatures/effects that can make a difference. I can't stop your creatures from getting bigger and eventually overwhelming me

Good game! Onto the next?

On to the next one.

 

[Limited]

I agree that seeing the other players' hand is devastating in this format.. Thrull Surgeon, Duress and the like become terrifying. You could still have better cards and win that way though...

In the Urza's Destiny game against Spiderman het got a Telepathic Spies... ugh. (usually, they are more like the Telepathetic Spies )
