    I think I've had a flawless victory once or twice in TotP but honestly don't remember anymore. I use bolas three days a week and usually play 1/1/3/3:

    Omni
    Whir
    Startled Awake
    Dark Ritual
    BtB
    Days Undoing
    Reason // Believe
    Pull from Tomorrow
    Avaricious Dragon
    Combustible Gearhulk

    @FindingHeart8 I'm surprised to hear that someone actually played against me. Was it even slightly challenging?
    I've actually had the privilege of facing you several times over the months, mtgpq apparently likes to choose you as my rival :)

    If memory serves, almost every match I've faced against you was with your Bolas deck.  The first time I ever faced you it was a pretty close match but the AI did pull your combo off (I specifically remember seeing Dark Ritual cast repetitively during a fairly smooth 3 minute combo-streak).  It was a close match but in the end you emerged victorious.

    I recently faced you again with my Ajani deck.  I don't know if there were any changes in your deck tho because I got lucky with cascades and had a turn 3 victory.  I think I took a screen shot ;)

    I always assumed the AI could pilot my deck fairly efficiently since there's really not much to it lol. I was looking to see if I had any videos of the deck in action and ironically enough I have one against @Mainloop25 's Saheeli Rai on the legendary node from a few weeks back. Assuming he's cool with it and I can get it uploaded somewhere, I will share it here.

    Sure  I'm always curious to see what happens when the AI pilots my decks. I'm assuming though that it tried to hard cast my expensive creatures instead of focusing on fetching Whir, which is what you are supposed to do with it.

    I REALLY wish we were given a daily summary of how our decks faired against the competition. I'd love to know if my AI-piloted decks are winning or not, and if not which PWs they're losing to most frequently.

    Hilarious ! Nicely done. I like that flavor. Still wish I had Startled Awake. I can see what you mean about Av Dragon. It's still my opinion that it's not the best choice for that deck.

    Pretty sure that the card I didn't cast was Flood of Recollection. Surprised I even got that far.

    Yea, that certainly wasn't Av Dragon's finest performance since all it did was knock about 7 shields off Omni. It is very nice when you draw Av Dragon and BtB to start the game, it can really jumpstart the loop for you.

    Omniscience simply needs the Baral treatment to prevent looping. It would still be powerful without being broken
