1. the deck listed as "Sensei, Sensei" is not even close to that of the before-named deck.
Sensei is a drain based combo/control deck much more optimal imho than the rector counterpart. imho, rector is made solely to get bargain and/or form of the dragon, much like it's cousin mystical tutor, which only gets will, ancestral and/or tinker.

2. Sensei, Sensei is somewhat easier to build proxy wise as drains and the 4 dual lands(obv power.. but..) are the hardest to get, which isnt a huge part of the deck.

3. Sensei is just a better deck than tps 1. because of it's control factor(w/ maindeck duress' obviously) and 2. because of it's amazing ability to come from drawing nothing > to winning in a single turn based on draws and such

4. <3 sensei

5. I think sensei would be a better call in the metagame due to its ability to adapt and outplay the metagame.

that is all

discuss?

Ok... say... Double U tee Eff Mate?

How is this card any good againist any of the top choices in t1?

1. Belcher- Ok... so your plan is too name? Gifts ungiven... o wait.. doesnt stop that..Tinker?... o no...er? Darksteel? Titan?
Theres wheres around this card if belcher OR welder is named... which makes it...mediorce at best vs belcher.

2. Any stax based deck with welder... name welder? you'll get wired/cow/stacked out before this card makes itself valuable.

3. combo... good luck getting the 4 of these u'll need in ur opening hand to even stand a chance.... vs sensei, naming sensei is your best choice, but you better follow it up with a 3 mages on echoing truth, chain of vapor and cunning wish.

....its not that i'm completely flaming this card..



yes i am.


but, there are just alot better choices that do a whole hell of alot more -

damping matrix
null rod

gg this needle.


Discuss?


the only thing i can see this working with, is combo naming wasteland... which gives it a significant less worry about mana base issues.

and wasteland is just a plain better solution to bazaar than this.
