I think this deck needs a little work, actually. Thanks for the game, brief though it was.

Yeah, it was nice to at least think about my cards in the context of a game.

So out of curiousity, how many lands did you have in that deck? It sure didn't seem like enough.

20. The problem is just finding the right number of various types. I don't have any basic lands in here at all. Needs less Ancient Ziggurats. The Orochi Springcallers should go, too. I'll probably just replace them with Llanowar Elves.

Depending on what you have in the way of non-creature spells, those lands might be a bad idea.

But this is probably best discussed in the main thread.

Oh, you ninja...

You don't like losing? Shame, that.

Imma Mana Leak the new myr (twice) and at the end of your turn hit you in the face with Lightning Bolt (twice). I'm assuming you won't be able to pay 6 and that you don't have any counterspells, but you have mana untapped, so I'll ask if you're responding to either of that.
