Keep or Mulligan - Part Two!
Edgeshot on Void takes center stage this round with a control list built for disruption and long game pressure. You are not rushing to win. You are locking out your opponent’s plays and waiting for the right moment to strike.
We are on the draw and the full decklist is linked so you can check the curve and card counts yourself. Review the hand and make your call.
Would you keep it? Let’s talk about it.

I have always leaned into off-meta picks, convinced I could outplay tier lists and win with style. But after enough losses, I realized I was holding myself back. This first entry sets the stage for my shift in mindset as I take on Annie Leonhart, a character I used to write off, and begin a serious effort to improve. It is not about giving in. It is about growing up as a player.
