Also, I do kind of love this general idea but would probably tweak it for my play group. Make it 3-5 copies and make the victory condition "Spent the most mana" or "Controls the most permanents" or "Did the most damage to Ben"

First part "When this leaves your library, draw a card, then exile it instead of putting..." Change second to "If each player owns one or more Bombs in exile..." To make that work and a passive effect rather than triggered ability so nobody can respond with life gain to the 4th.

This and the Commander Damage hate seem like a real round about way for you to say "I want Lifegain to reign supreme" but you do you, boo. Also, needs to be "When this leaves your library" to deal with "put... card into your hand" formatting, mill, impulse draw, etc

From the moment we saw over half the registered decks were IzzCau, we knew those decks had to wind up somewhere in the 37 ranks. Considering the participants, it would only make sense for those decks to wind up mostly in the top half, so while the 7/8 top spots is alarming, the general ranking isn't
jovialroger.bsky.social (@jovialroger.bsky.social) reply parent
I mean... wouldn't it be worse if 20 of 37 of the best players in the format brought the same deck to a tournament and most of them ended up in the lower half of rankings?
