Quicken? I'm surprised...how did that work out?

/Zeus

[Tobi]

Quicken was a largely untested tech, mainly included to improve the control part of Gifts. It also led to the inclusion of Imperial Seal.

Throughout the tournament it did not appear that often to prove its value. There was only one situation in which I would not have sacced my lotus to play Merchant Scroll first Turn, but then did after my opponent threw a Mind Twist for 3 at me. Quicken, then Scroll for Force.
It was boarded out in almost every matchup. I had High Tide, Affinity, 5c Stax, Bomberman and Ritual Gifts.

Needs more testing and probably other cards to go with.

[Midknight]

Quicken also seems to work good with Empty the Wareens. If your opt plays a bunch of spells during his turn do that at the end up turn. Pluse Quicken itself helps to build up storm very cheaply. Nice tech
