You want to pressure planeswalkers without taking too much time off from attacking the opponents life total
This is a deck for people who like to go big and have all the resources they need for big, silly plays, and I can't wait to try it out
A lot of players prefer "Limited" formats such as these to begin with, and as such are able to play Magic week in, week out without spending more than they would going to see a movie
Ultimately, I think its one of those training wheels-type cards, the way I think Ive seen Gerry Thompson discuss big threats in certain control strategiesif your play isnt as tight as it could be, its very good at forgiving some mistakes and taking a game over by itself, but once you understand how the deck operates and how you need to deal with everything, I havent found it necessary for anything Im trying to accomplish
I am for the abolishment of the reserve listbut not as a panicked response to a very real threat
