Turn 3 affinity win

[Mtg4242]

Lol turn one lay down an Inkmoth nexus and cranial plating (with the help of a ton of artifacts and mox opal), and by turn 3 win with poison counters. My opponent was a bit crazy and slammed his fists onto the table when I beat him in 3 minutes lol

That's what affinity does!! Lol then they side in:

{Hurkyls Recall}

{Ancient Grudge}

{Shatterstorm} and laugh at you and your silly artifacts

And affinity uses Thoughtseize and more creatures to win again. Playing around hate is normal and something any affinity player should learn when they first start playing.

I was just saying and even with those SB/MB options sometimes they just don't draw it plus if they side in 4 T Seize and 2 Spell Pierce etc then they are less likely to have the classic affinity but draw

No, sometimes they don't, that is why they play around them as well. And the opponent isn't going to draw them all the time either.

But no good affinity player would dilute his deck to stop hate. They increase their deck's chances of winning when they sideboard. That is how it should be played, and that goes for
Any deck.

Easy bud lol relax I'm just saying

But Affinity is a lot easier to hate on and most SBs in modern run what they can to stop it bc a T3-5 Aggro deck with great consistency is just so good that we have to plan for it

[DeathlyFoiend]

It might be easy, but it is almost never done right either. Affinity is the dredge of this format.

I've learned so much haha, thanks. Lol funny thing is that I currently only have 3 cards sideboard, namely wear/tear (just built this, plan to make the official sideboard). I also took out the thoughtcast MB for thoughtseize MB, but plan to change it. My reasoning was that thoughtseize could completely turn the game around, where with thoughtcast you'd probably still win if you didn't play it if you were to win playing it. I made this assumption right after playing twin exarch, where I took his away his splinter twin with thoughtseize  (he had deceiver exarch on the field) and dealt lethal the next turn. Idk...what do y'all think? Thoughtcast or thoughtseize?
