With Young Treant as the only practical way to draw, it’s a pretty unforgiving match for bad draws. Don’t forget to remove the Mine.

Well played to you, too! I was surprised at the second Mine, Balance II + Drakk mirror is pretty demanding on hand size as it is.

Yea, i definitely didnt play the mirror matches as well as I needed to. You did have some spot on draws though. Your tech timing wasnt going to be beat.
