by SaffronOlive // Jun 5, 2024

Hello everyone and welcome back to Against the Odds! Every since Smuggler's Surprise was previewed for Outlaws of Thunder Junction I've wanted to do one thing with the card: use it to put Phyrexian Obliterator into play at instant speed to block one our opponent's attack and make them annihilate their board by surprise, and that's what we're trying to do today! Can it work? Let's get to the video and find out!
