Faithless Brewing #36: Ghirapur Orrery The results are in! In the final days before Theros: Beyond Death, we let our listeners choose the card that we would brew around for the week. Many outstanding cards from Magic’s past and present were nominated, but in the end, only one could emerge victorious in the patron poll: Ghirapur Orrery! This forgotten gem from Kaladesh hearkens back to the days when we were small children with a poor understanding of Magic’s rules: we were convinced, for example, that if you played your last card from hand you immediately got to draw a fresh seven, or that if you declared “fast mana” you could play multiple land drops at once. Well guess what, children: with Ghirapur Orrery in play, now you can do both, and it’s not even against the rules! The dream of going nuts with an Orrery is certainly enticing, but to make this card competitive, a lot has to go right. David has some ideas for getting the ball rolling, so let’s dive into the lists! Also in this episode: a GP Portland tournament report, 2019 in Review, Theros: Beyond Death Previews, Regisaur testing results, and more!
