Deck discussion for Hand Steal Control

Love it! Another good one to use is Sign in Blood, to give you that small boost of draw if needed. Also maybe a couple of reliquary towers thrown in there would be handy so you're not discarding cards needlessly and can maximise Whispering madness :)

READ THE CARD!!!! OMG "If an opponent would draw a card EXCEPT the first one he or she draws in each of his or her draw steps, instead that player skips that draw and you draw a card." I mean, I don't want to be the asshole here, but read the goddamn card before commenting and looking like a complete tool!!! Again I'm sorry but it had to be said. READ THE CARD!!!

I did apologise and I did admit I was a dick. But I'm jsut so sick of people not following the simplest rule in mtg. So many matches have gone with the following - Read the card. What does the card say? Then that's what you do. Does it say to do that? No? Then don't do that.

Nice deck btw.

It can be interpreted two different ways, and I didn't realize it until after I commented. You could be talking about "the first one in each of his or her draw step", or "if you would draw a card, except the first one" and only in the draw step. So like, it's talking about any amount of draws, but only in the draw step. It's not hard to be confused about the rulings, magic is the only game where two truly experienced players can argue about the rules, or wording of a card. Sry if that frustrates you.

All good. As long as you understand the card ruling better now that's all that matters.
