How to Win with Young Pyromancer

from Lucky Paper Radio Hosted by Andy Mangold and Anthony Mattox

View all cards mentioned in this episode Andy and Anthony talk about one of Andy’s all time favorite cards Young Pyromancer. After a recent draft of a peasant cube at their weekly cube night, Anthony realized that despite it’s iconic status, it’s not a card he feels like he know’s how to optimize. Andy shares his experience with the card, what he thinks it takes to support it, and a handful of his cube draft decks it headlined. View the full decklists of Andy’s referenced drafts on the cards page. Discussed in this episode: Library of Babel, Local Peasant Cube Deck Pics!
