Brownie Bites #3: How Much Card Draw Does White Have?!  

🤍🤍🤍 Time to revisit my Discerning Financier PDH list and look closer at White cantrips!!

First: the Scrollshift Quick Study comparison is *on point*. Great work. That said: "How have you managed the problem of card draw?" is, I think, VERY close to the right question. I prefer to frame it as a running-out-of-gas question. Blue solves it's running-out-of-gas questions by drawing more cards, because it spends it's cards on individual game actions (like counterspell) and needs to put more cards into hand to be able to keep taking game actions. White, being more based in permanents like you say, has other answers to the running out of gas question. For example, if you have 8 mana up, you don't need cards in hand if you've got Dawnglare Invoker online. A lot of white permanents give you access to game actions even on an empty hand. Like Rebel tutors. The other thing I dearly love about white is that it has some of the best Cards-you-get-to-use-twice. Stuff like Recruit the Worthy, Ephemerate, Pegasus Guardian, Prismatic Strands - None of these have the text "draw a card" but they're all really elegant and powerful solutions to the problem of card draw. Great video!

Hear me out, what if we flicker Abdel with a bunch of things that say ETB draw card?
