Plane Chase Fiasco —May 15, 2025
Went to DS for the first time in months... Played a lot of games and had a blast. But this isn't about the other games. This is about SQUIRRELS!
Played a single game of Plane Chase with two other people. One was using the new sulti dragon self mill and the other Gishath. All the plane cards favored the dragon, while weakening Gishath and myself. I managed to get six squirrels out (more if I didn't have to keep sacing them). I even drew two cards for two different infinite combos (Earthcraft and Scurry Oak) and a pinger. I tried to stay low and not a target, but the dragon player seemed to want me out.
What irritated me with the deck is I was drawing lots of cards... But never the other two cards I needed. Would have if I lived two more turns but nope. Losing streak continues.

pinecone2k3: Sorry for the very delayed response. Work and children has had me pretty busy that I haven't looked at anything for some time now. Just used the app to cycle my decks and see what would happen.
Anyway, I think you were right with the land amount, so I added two more lands to make it an even 34. I would go to 36, as that seems to be where I am more successful, but cutting two more cards will be challenging. Would end up having to be ramp spells.
I was already thinking after my first few losses that my lands entering tapped was a downfall. I thought I was being clever by adding Forest/Mountain lands that could be searched for with tons of my ramp spells but in the end it slowed me down. I am currently working to remedy that problem.
Once things settle down and I have wiggle room, I plan on buying Thornspire Verge, Karplusan Forest, Cragcrown Pathway Flip, and Spire Garden. I'd take out Wooded Ridgeline, Krosan Verge, Mountain Valley, and Sheltered Thicket. I thought about switching out Commercial District for Three Tree City or Fountainport. Just haven't decided yet.
If I manage to get a decent bonus this year I want to try to get my hands on a Taiga for the deck.
