How to Win with Young Pyromancer

View all cards mentioned in this episode (http://luckypaper.co/podcast/299-how-...) Andy and Anthony talk about one of Andy’s all time favorite cards Young Pyromancer. After a recent draft of a peasant cube (https://cubecobra.com/cube/about/lob?...)  at their weekly cube night, Anthony realized that despite it’s iconic status, it’s not a card he feels like he know’s how to optimize. Andy shares his experience with the card, what he thinks it takes to support it, and a handful of his cube draft decks it headlined.
