This is the downside of playing Madcap Experiment with just a playset of a single artifact, and if we play more than one artifact, then we are not guaranteed to hit the one we want. We cast a Madcap Experiment, and we know 100% that we are going to end up with a Blightsteel Colossus. The problem is that we are going to lose, on average, somewhere around 15 life, which is fine if we can just immediately kill our opponent but a little risky. So, we have a 60-card deck with four Madcap Experiments and four Blightsteel Colossus.

When I first read Madcap Experiment, the first card that popped into my head was Blightsteel Colossus. Then, Madcap Experiment deals damage to you equal to the number of cards revealed this way. Madcap Experiment is really unique, as a four-mana sorcery that lets us reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal an artifact then, you put the artifact on the battlefield and put the rest of the cards on the bottom of your library in a random order. Second, I really like the lesson that Madcap Experiment can give us: sometimes, there's more than meets the eye when it comes to building around a card, and sometimes, drawbacks are not drawbacks but actually benefits or even the entire reason to play a card. First, the card we are talking about is one of my favorites from Kaladesh: Madcap Experiment. I'm super excited for this week's episode of Brewer's Minute for two reasons. Hello, everyone, it's Seth-probably better known as Saffron Olive-and it's time for another Brewer's Minute.
