So we have a situation where the most important question is, "What do we lose to?" And besides the idea of our opponent answering the Control Magic somehow there's the more probable one where they just have another threat that doesn't die to Shock. However, I think what LSV says about looting is correct, just not necessarily for this specific example.Ī big part of this is that we're substantially advantaged (empty board, we have a looter) if we just untap and Lightning Blast the angel.
Not knowing what else could be in my opponent's deck, I'm reluctant to loot because I don't want to be in a situation where I have no answers left in my deck for another threat of a similar caliber. If successful, 2/3 chance of being able to keep Control Magic and Lightning BlastĬontrol Magic being on top of your library is equivalent to being the third card you wouldn't see in Scenario A. If successful, 100% chance of being able to keep Control Magic and Lightning Blast LSV's example is sort of an extreme case where the rest of your library (besides Control Magic) is significantly worse than what's in your hand.ĮDIT: Having now read LSV's response, I realize that he is correct. In general though, if a good card has a reasonable chance of being upgraded to a better card, I'll loot EOT. At that point, I'd probably loot even if I don't draw a land, because drawing into Control Magic would probably win you the game. I would definitely wait until the draw step to have better discard selection. Since Lightning Blast is arguably the second best card in your deck at this point in the game, looting at the opponent's end step is basically milling for no value.
