      3. Slaying Fire deals 3 damage to any target.
      4. Adamant — If at least three red mana was spent to cast this spell, it deals 4 damage instead.
  8. Commander Rules!
    1. Zack - Sometimes I have trouble knowing when to use removal, and I thought maybe other folks out there might feel the same
      1. New players sometimes use removal as soon as they have it to cast
      2. These are somewhat generic scenarios, and the stuff we talk about this episode can be generally applied, but there are always exceptions
      1. Early Sol Ring
    3. Are Mana rocks worth destroying?
    4. Vorinclex - optimal time to remove
      1. When a scary thing on the stack which is better?
    5. Removal vs Counterspell
    6. Destroy a creature that is hurting the table(ie Collector Ouphe), but not you? 
      1. Ryan has a series of questions here
    7. Rest in Peace and there’s an Emry or other graveyard using player at the table.
    8. When to use a board wipe?
    9. When to use a single target removal?
    10. Destroy a PW now or closer to an ultimate? (maybe someone else will take care of it)
    11. Holding removal in case someone else does your dirty work for you (in the business we call this a Ryan move)
    12. How to tell what is the one thing you should remove? (Enchantments and artifacts example)
      1. When to use removal as a political tool?
    13. Removal and politics
