Ah yes, Seance, the card we were all begging Wizards to reprint. Now that it's here, this feels like a good time to unveil this pet project I've been working on.
So
Seance
is a pretty wacky card. People often think it's unplayable due to a number of weird design choices, most notably that the creature you copy doesn't have haste. There is 1 reeeeeally big upside that is easy to miss though: it triggers EVERY upkeep, including your opponent's. Once you start milling yourself with Hedron Crabs and Satyr Wayfinders, you can go to valuetown every upkeep.
From there, you have a couple ways to win. Way 1 is by simply out-valuing your opponent. Way 2 is much spicier though. Are you ready?
Mill yourself until you hit Mirror-Mad Phantasm. If Seance is already on the field, make a copy of it on your opponent's upkeep and activate it. Because the real one is removed from the game and the one you're using is a token that can't be shuffled, you end up flipping your entire deck into your graveyard. Once that happens, on your upkeep, return Laboratory Maniac, then you win the game on your draw step. Cool right?
I may have a more in-depth description coming later, but for now, if you have any comments or suggestions by all means leave them below. And of course upvotes are greatly appreciated :>
Oh and the title is a quote from one of my opponents a couple weeks ago on Jund. Good times.
