Thoughts

Everyone trying Stillmoon Cavalier seems to be saying it’s not worth it. And here’s the thing: you might get a game with it, and we might want to put it in our back pocket for a time, and that time may never come, but overall, play removal and kill the creatures that are preventing you from winning. We’re a combo deck. Stay focused. Except for Murktide, because that is a big fat clock. (I didn’t misspell that, did I? Good.)
