【There is an addendum.】Innistrad: Crimson Vow, about a card that could be used for WishValakut.

Hi.

This time, I'd like to introduce a card from Innistrad: Crimson Vow

that might be included in WishValakut. There is only one card, so let's take a quick look at it.

Reckless Impulse

Similar cards in the past were《Light Up the Stage》and《Commune with Lava》.In WishValakut, the only draw source is《Explore》, so 2 draws for 2 mana is a big attraction.

The fact that you can search for effective cards with high probability is a point factor, except when you don't have Mana Boost on turn2 and are forced to cast it.Since there is a high probability of lands being exiled, more cards that increase the right to play lands, such as《Explore》and《Dryad of the Ilysian Grove》to recover from Mana Flood, will increase stability.The strongest way to use it is to cast it on the third turn and go find what you are missing in that scene.I recommend using more 《Explorers》because they have extra draws, rather than《Dryads of Illysian Grove》which can only be deployed if 《Search for Tomorrow》starts suspend.

I haven't tested it properly yet, but I think the following balance is just right.

  • Adopt 1 or 2《Reckless Impulse》→Adopt 3 or 4 cards to increase the right to play lands.
  • Adopt 3 or 4《Reckless Impulse》→Adopt 5 or 6 cards to increase the right to play lands.

 

Also, since WishValakut has a structure that expands continuously from《Wish》, it can use《Reckless Impulse》strongly since it keeps SB cards at low mana.For example, suppose you have 《Chalice of the Void》*3 in your SB. Then, you make a side-change, "Move 《Chalice of the Void》*2 to MB, and leave 1 in SB.In that case, you would have to search for《Chalice of the Void》with《Reckless Impulse》and《Wish》. In addition, once you find it, you can cast it immediately with X=0.

It's important to note that cards commonly used in WishValakut's SB, such as《Engineered Explosives》,《Chalice of the Void》, and《Tormod's Crypt》, are now easier to use.

If you're looking for a card with zero mana, you should mana boost your library and cast Reckless Impulse last. If you're looking for a card with more than one mana, except for a finisher, you should only use fetchlands to compress your library and cast Reckless Impulse first.However, it depends on the board and your opponent's archetype, so think carefully and be flexible.

 

Also, if you use《Reckless Impulse》, you can increase the count of red cards and thus increase the chance of recalling《Fury》, but my personal opinion is that《Engineered Explosives》,《Anger of the Gods》, and《Storm's Wrath》are fine.When more archetypes that use《Thalia, Guardian of Thraben》appear in the metagame, 《Fury》can be used strongly, so I think it's unnecessary until then.

As for the disadvantages, 《Reckless Impulse》can pseudo-increase your hand to expand your range, but when looking for non-zero mana cards, you basically have to deploy them in the next turn.It's hard to use 4 cards without thinking about it, because it's not a card that can change the situation immediately.

 

【Added 11/20 update.】

I forgot to write something very important, so I'll add it.

《Reckless Impulse》is an "exile" of two cards from the top of the library.If you cast《Reckless Impulse》and《Search for Tomorrow》is exiled, "you can't Suspend" it, so please be careful on both tabletop and MO.

※Suspend is a keyword ability that combines "Static Ability, which functions when a card with Suspend is in your hand, and Triggered Ability, which functions when you Suspend to an Exilezone."In the past with titanshift, when I played《Experimental Frenzy》and the top of my library was《Search for Tomorrow》, the exact same situation occurred: I could play it, but I couldn't suspend because I didn't have it in hand.

 

That's all.

I'm thinking of introducing a list of WishValakut's results by mid-November for the next update.

Bye.
