49:17 LORE TIME! Sanctum Weaver is a Dryad (a spiritual projection of a tree/forest). Some dryads are more humanlike (presumably in order to communicate with humanoids more easily) but some are more overtly treelike as Sanctum Weaver is. Since it is metaphysically connected to the forest, it probably doesn't need input at all, but even if it does then it can accomplish that with its leaflike appendages and its rootlike appendages. And since it resides in a sacred place of the forest and probably only ever interacts with devotees of Karametra in rituals, it has no need for humanlike communication. So there's plenty of reason for it not to have a mouth.

Needs "Lost in the Maze" to protect your dorks. They get hexproof when they're tapped. And you can tap them in response to removal so they're immune to spot removal with Maze on the board. Much better than counterspells for protecting your dorks.
@alaraplatt8104
7 ай бұрын
cute but an incredibly bad idea. might be better than the card literally called counterspell, but the fact that lost needs not one but 2 blue mana up to work makes it unplayable in this deck. this deck would like to combo on turn 2, and uses all of its mana to do so, which is why pact of negation is the protection spell of choice... that and veil, which is nice because it only costs 1 green, which is easier to come by in this deck that wants leyline of abundance on the battlefield
@lesternomo6578
7 ай бұрын
@@alaraplatt8104 veil is great when it works but it is only relevant against one color (albeit the best removal color). Pact is nice when you are comboing but I actually really like lost in the maze here, it's just 2 mana protect all your creatures for the rest of the game, which seems worth it in a matchup where you're worried about removal. Not really a reactive play most of the time I'd imagine, you would just want to run it out on your opponents end step t2 and have it in play. If they have 2 removal spells against your creature and you pact to protect from the first one, you just lose the game. In that scenario, lost in the maze still loses your creature but sets you up to have safe creatures for the rest of the game (as long as you can lose summoning sickness, something pact also requires)
