    Isn't it more like $20 or whatever the difference is between the regular version and this special edition? Still kind of dumb, but at least it is a bit more reasonable.

    People have been using the same arguments for years. I remember watching a similar video from the BBC of the UK bringing in drunk driving laws in the 60s and it was the same stuff "How can the government dictate how much I can drink and still drive?!"

    I really wonder what these people think now of being on the wrong side of history? My guess is they're either MAGA people now or they've come around and think they were never really opposed to this.

    Thanks! I would say the main thing that makes this deck work in Alchemy and not Standard is partially the meta game. WBx is currently very strong in Alchemy with Portent, Reprieve, Juggernaut Peddler and the Three Blind Mice/Dollmaker combo. Additionally not a lot of decks are playing planeswalker removal. This deck lines up against that meta game very well because your threats are just so efficient and you have a lot of answers for common cards in the format. So you're frequently trading up on mana and either staying even on cards or trading up on cards as well.

    The 2nd thing that holds the deck together is Delighted Halfling. Since it's a LotR card it's not available in Standard. Being able to power out a turn 2 Wrenn frequently ends the game on the spot. Well not really on the spot, but they end up falling so far behind that the game might as well end at that point.

    14-0 Alchemy Wrenn and Realmbreaker deck mstdn.ca

    Just went on a 14-0 run into mythic with this sweet #alchemy Wrenn the Realmbreaker deck on #mtgarena. I haven't found a single matchup that has felt hard and post board this deck feels unbeatable against most decks. The flex slots are the 1 ofs and the weakest card is likely the Tyvar, but I have not drawn that card enough to really have an opinion about it. The synergy between the Wrenn -2 and Virtue of Persistence/Porcine Portent is huge. Being able to downtick on your 3 mana planeswalker and be able to dig 3 cards deep for removal is absolutely insane. It has won me several games with being able to find removal for a Sheoldred when my Clock was about to tick to 12. Additionally being able to power up your creature lands with the +1 is absolutely insane. Not many decks are running planeswalker removal especially mainboard that a turn 3 Wrenn (which admittedly with the mana base is sometimes hard to power out) can be absolutely unbeatable.
