Standard Universus Cards I Like
and Wanna Yap About
Hey Guys! Paul here with a big of a change of form for just this video. Today, I had the urge to look through every card in standard and talk about both cards that I think are decent choices for your deck going into the Vegas format, as well as underplayed Tech and Pet cards that I love and wanted to talk about a bit.
This is a looooong yap style video so I don't expect everyone to sit through it, but if you enjoy long form yap style content, sit down, grab some food, maybe put on some music, and enjoy listening to me talking about some of my favorite, less-talked about cards in my favorite card game. Enjoy and share with me some of your favorite underplayed cards in the comments below!
