What's up Steemit?
Have you ever had a day where nothing seems to work?
Then it's followed by another day where nothing seems to work?
I have been having one of those days...
In the great MTG rivalry that I have with @kommienesuzpadt, I have hit a bit of a rough patch.
The games normally have the flow of an epic rivalry like this...
I just made a new commander deck, and at 0-10, it feels more like this.

The deck I made has a really cool commander in Jhoira of the Ghitu.
She can exile any card for 2 mana, and give it 4 time counters. A counter drops at the beginning of every turn, and eventually the card gets cast for free when the counters are gone.
This is(or should be) a great way to cast HUGE cards for 2 mana.
To take advantage of that, I loaded the deck with giant Eldrazi.
Emrakul and Kozilek are game changers, and either of these cards showing up is pretty much lights out for an opponent.
So far, I have effectively cast them ZERO times in 10 games:(
The Conduit of Ruin helps me look for Eldrazi, and The Bane of Bala Ged makes the opponent exile cards when it attacks. Theoretically, this is a brutal combo, and it has also happened zero times.
The Artisan of Kozilek is a bigger, meaner version of The Bane of Bala Ged. The Helm of the Hosts would allow me to make a new Eldrazi titan each turn. The would be massively brutal.
Guess how many times this has happened?!?!
If you guessed zero, you were correct.
For the ultimate lights out card, I have an oversized, cartoonish Emrakul, The Aeons Torn card.
I actually have won a game with this, but it was in a different deck.
If I could cast this, for 2 mana with Jhoira, there is almost no way I could lose...
Emrakul has never seen the battlefield.
To get the suspend counters dropping faster, I have this little ant thing. It actually has worked once, but I lost the game anyway.
To protect Jhoira, and to keep me alive until turn 7, I have these counterspells, return creature cards, and burn cards.
Apparently I need more, since I have lost almost every game by turn 7.
Jhoira is potentially so powerful(and cute) that I have to find a way to make this deck work.
I just hope I won't be 0-100 by the time I get it right...
Blessing to you Steemit.

A life in cards! Funny that you excel in both tarot and magic (even though some seems to excel a bit more than you in Magic).
