Episode 22: Reality Fracture Battle with the MTG Thoughtcast

Oh man, what a week.

We get to play with the awesome guys from MTG Thoughtcast, so I thought, what better way to play than to make a deck different than anything I have ever done before? What could go wrong? Hopefully, my opponent's game plan.

This week, we're making decks with emphasis on the new set coming out, Reality Fractured.

And as I'm looking through my options for commander, one creature stood out to me way more than the rest.

First, because I have no idea how to pronounce his name.

And second, because I have no idea how a deck built around him would work.

So I went to work.

This week, my commander is...

Impossibly Lost.

And I built the deck myself with a little help from the chemist.

Impossibly Lost is a 1-1 homunculus legendary creature that costs a generic mana and a blue mana.

Now you might be thinking, Mage, that's a weak commander.

What can that do for you? The key here is his ability, which states, when one or more of your opponents are dealt combat damage during your turn, draw two cards.

If your library has no more cards in it, you win the game.

This owner shuffles him into their library, and then in parentheses it says if you draw from an empty library this way, you still win the game.

That's right.

The focus of my deck this week is alternate wins.

The way this card works, to the best of my knowledge, is basically I get my commander out, then I have to deal some sort of combat damage to my opponents.

I get to draw two cards, then gets thrown into my library.

Now, the name of the game is card draw.

I have a lot of different cards in my deck that can get me a lot of card draw.

One of the most notable ones being the Planeswalker Jace Bellerin.

He costs two blue mana and a generic mana, and to gain two counters, everyone gets to draw a card.

I can then pay a counter to have a target player draw a card, and then for 10 counters, I can have a target player mill 20 cards.

Here, the target player would be me.
