    Just think of the lines that make sense with a play like that and play against those lines. If their play after doesn't make sense, you should be able to punish it.


    I wouldn't be surprised if the opponent didn't have another Mind Control after they killed a lone Aldon with one. They might, but you shouldn't be able to make the read based on that alone. Of course, it differs from game to game.

    Exactly. But how many times have you gotten smacked down in game and thought to yourself "that lucky bastard....". I know I do every time I face Fou or Bobwei

    Luck still comes into play with probability. I just lost a game and got down to 7 cards and I knew exactly what they were: 3 Plasma Behomths, 3 Blood Moons and 1 Wrath of the Forest. It was sad

    You have to realize there was a chance of that mathematically happening and that there is no mystical "luck".
