    one of the many reasons why I love watching your vids after a long day of work, is because, you talk to us like we're friends. You don't hide things, you are good tempered, and its just like calling up an old friend to hear them talk for a 10-15 mins when we were young. Thanks for keeping it real and having me as a friend.

    Caretakers talent would not be able to copy a token from Urabrask's Forge until after combat since you can only level up as a sorcery. The token would then just get sacrificed at the end of your turn, so a Forge token is probably not the best target.

    I called caretakers being a fabulous card in spoiler season. If temporary lockdown wasn’t a necessary evil I think mono white control would honestly still be around using skrelv’s hive as basically a phyrexian area in white with talent in play. Just keep blowing up the board with 4 mana creature wraths and accumulate hives, elspeths, case of the uneaten feasts and virtue of loyalty’s. In a slower meta, but forge is great and it being three mana is the real reason this deck succeeds. I was gonna build a grixis control deck using forge and as many cheap wraths as possible like brotherhoods end and ill-timed explosions but this seems so much more streamlined and more consistent that using barbed servitor as repeated card draw and burn.
    It’s really nice to see wizards have finally figured out white card draw as, a surplus of resources from collaborating represented in caretakers talent. It’s a great time to worship the sun.

    I'm currently experimenting with selesnya tokens with Tribute to the World Tree, Nissa, the three mana ramp that gives you two options out of three (often a land and a token) and some other stuff.
