Be a bit wary of world champ cards. They are not real magic cards as far as I can tell (even tore one open to check), the paper and spring is different. I think they are closer to the cheap token cards that wotc includes in packs.

If you are playing for stakes, there is a risk of being called out.

Lotus has also bounced $11, so there seems to be real enthusiasm.

Thanks for the comment TI, love the write ups on the big fish!

Has anyone ever built a deck taking advantage of the synergy between Mystic Remora and Braid of Fire (plus perhaps Thran Turbine)? It seems like a nice soft lock with interesting long game/big mana implications (even moreso in multiples).

If you are looking for bling (and not sanctioned playable), I have a couple gold border ones that are available.

Edit: Plenty on Flebay.

As a pauper player I too have been putting CR in my playset Vintage decks.

@The-Gremlin-Lord Breiwing up a deck with discard creatures, Gemstone Caverns, Chrome Moxen, Forces, as well as Laylines of Anticipation and 4x Days undoing. Not sure if will work, but seems powerful and worth trying out. Ramp, extended hand, flash spells, and 4x 3/4 Time Walk/Time Twister that refills hand after all that pitching. Maybe adding Notion Thief for extra hijinks.

@Cambriel Well, that is going in the deck! Woot! How about some idea for beaters? Right now I have idea for Swarm, Dryad militants, Managorger Hydra (not very synergistic) and Trygon. What else could work in a lock down Simic Deck?

@Ten-Ten Cobra would be great in a fetch land deck for sure. This is even more budget than that

@The-Gremlin-Lord Interesting. Would Gemstone Caverns, Chrome Mox, and force of will (misdirection) plus misthollow (and maybe a torrent elemental or two) combined with several draw sevens have been better? (Don't think it will work with the Amulet mana base, it floped when goldfishing together).
