I won a solid number of the games I did because Daze was relevant to the game at hand at keeping cards off the board and my opponent from just straight winning the game (Dazing energy threats to dazing Song of Creation out of TES where I would have straight lost if I didn't have it).

My experience sofar is that you actually want Daze in this deck.

Daze does a lot of good to protecting your clock, but also it combo's with Super Shredder, because the Island leaving the battlefield gives him a +1/+1 counter.

Dimir Midrange by sakuragi21722749 Deck Dimir Midrange by sakuragi21722749 deck list with prices for Magic: the Gathering (MTG).

This list is wild. Went 3-2 with a first league on it, it's crazy fun. #MTGLegacy

I've learned many things with my first prototype and I may drop the idea I had and just make weighted snuggle ponies we'll see. She's comfy but I think I'd do the mane and tail differently next time. Gotta start somewhere but here's my finish big lucky star plush!

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

Some fun projects for future cons!! My husband and I are a team in this, I drew the Bolt and he drew the other. Printed and cut in our cricut. Hence the human cut out around. πŸ˜… I personally try to get as many in the space allotted.

Hopefully you'll see lucky star whimsies this summer and beyond☺️

Gonna be more blunt with this. And you should too. #FMF
