Engineered Explosives

Yeah, man, I guess so.

Engineered Explosives is being reprinted into Standard.

I think it'll do next to nothing.

Maybe?

And

it's just funny because I've played against someone locally who plays with a engineered explosives, you know, often in their sideboard.

Now they're wrapped disguised as a card, maybe not.

But, yeah.

Because Trinket Mage, obviously, you can get Sense of the Divining Top, but also for Elixir of Immortality.

But I like that it also lets you get bullets like Pithing Needle and Engineered Explosives.

And I think there's space there.

It's a three drop for counterbalance, which is why I get there in the first place.

Finding what is the appropriate amount of instance and sorceries to pair with your young pyromancer, especially when playing the full boat, is a puzzle to be solved.

Does that chip into your planeswalker count? Do you play fewer creatures? Do you play more spells that also are threats? There used to be...

old builds where you would play like lingering souls and young pyromancer and be this like token deck where you you could splash white as a fourth color and that would help with like engineered explosives and stuff uh but otherwise you would play like you would discard your lingering souls to your liliana of the veils that way you just get the back half and get value that way and that was cool uh deck building stuff but anyway i've been talking a little bit too long but stay tuned to eternal turtles we're gonna have four rounds up from this event that Zach and I are going to cover.

We're going to do commentary on those matches.

Three Force of Negation, one Sheoldred's Edict, two Sink into Stupor, and two Spell Snare.

And then the sideboard is a bunch of ones and twos, including an Engineered Explosives, a Toxic Deluge, the second Kaito.

Sometimes it's good, I guess.

So yeah, go for it.

So Future Sight really stood out.

I also got an early Engineered Explosives, which is a card I rate really highly.

Uh, and it, it...

It seemed like the kind of environment, again, where, like, 2/4 ones are hard to come by, and I was like, "Engineered Explosives and, and, you know, Future Sight, that's my game plan.

Like, I'm just gonna do that." Got to the end of the draft and very nearly had a creatureless deck.

Like, completely creatureless in, like, a retail limited-ish power level.

I'm taking Innocent Blood.

I'm taking Ghastly Demise.
