Modern MtG — Obliterator Devotion vs. Hammertime
Channel: T1GlistenerElf
Date: 2020-11-28

Leaving myself open several times in the match is scary, but sometimes you have to do it so that you leave yourself a chance to win in a future turn. My deck has a high curve, so playing a win-con while also holding up removal isn't always possible. In those moments, you have to decide if you want to develop your board or keep yourself from losing. Letting your opponent have access to more mana every turn is usually a losing strategy, but tapping out can spell disaster. This is the conundrum of playing against decks like Infect.

This deck is in severe need of an update, but here it is as of this video.
