I was wondering what you guys would think about having Thornling in your ramp deck? It doesn’t seem like a bad fit at all, although I haven’t tested it at all.

There absolutely is a “could’ve,” which is an important part of looking at and improving your gameplay. If every time you lost (or even won) you just said “well, maybe there was something I could have done, but I didn’t do it, so whatever!” you’d never improve your game. It is possible Mike maybe references that particular mistake a time or two too many in this series, but whatever. Stuff like that happens when you’re just chatting with a friend, even if its on a podcast.

My question is about the deck itself. Mike says in the beginning that Anathemancer is like the best threat, and I agree. Right now, no one respects how good he is and don’t build their decks accordingly, and as a result he’s completely insane in nearly every matchup. This being the case, why is the “best card” stuck in the Sideboard for the Jund Ramp deck? It works excellently in a deck with 4 Banefires as a way to kill people out of no where regardless of their ability to block.
