Is Mock Court actually changing the way Sorcery needs to be deckbuilt?

Phil’s argument here is that when a card becomes a true universal guardrail, the best response isn’t necessarily to find a way around it — it’s to accept that it’s part of the rules of the format and build accordingly.

Do you agree?

And more importantly: would you still play the Frog version of Magician anyway?

Phil, thank you for being the standard bearer for jank in this game. I believe in the jank and no one can force me to play a good-stuff pile.

I love the video! Phil is increasingly becoming the it's always sunny Pepe Silvia meme with him pointing to a cork board with a pic of the immortal throne on it with red yarn pointing everywhere

This makes no sense.
Tunneling on calling mock court a 'universal guardrail' when your deck is now absolutely screwed by court of equity and peasant revolt! How are these not universal guard rails, but mock court is?

I love the passion to make this work! No joke. It's infectious, and I love me some non-meta gimmick-y deckbuilding.

As I was watching Lord of Itza right before this, I had playback speed on 1.5 ... which is great for LoI but also made your opening about O'dark thirty in New York really good and I thought it was deliberate at first - then it kept going ... :)

Fun ep!

I don’t understand how this could possibly be consistent enough. Even with tons of card draw there are just gonna be games where you never see the immortal throne. Running demonic contract with only 2 demons seems rough and god help you that you do get the immortal throne out and someone just destroys it, buries it, or swaps it to their own side.

Love this new version of the deck - I think I'm going to build it for this week's match play. I'm curious if you'd be interested in guesting on the show to talk about it once I get some reps under me and can talk coherently on it?

Don’t loose sleep, no one in m8ne and many others are saying it’s legal to play

T1 Mock court is backbreaking against certain decks like most Fire Aggro variants, Some archimago builds, and especially Necromancer.

I think it may have been a mistake. Hosing the weakest and lowest rarity seems weird. It should have hosed tokens probably. The Fire and earth courts that hate on higher rarities are actually very good for the game IMO.

I still think Court of Equity is a bigger deal.  Mock Court only affects units and only one rarity.

Does store promos be the only way you can get them everyone in our community they’re not sanctioned for any tournament use much less as sorcery provided one unless everyone has access to them they are not tournament legal
