3x Phosphorous Starts in a Brobnar creature heavy deck, don't get it.

This looks like there could be something here but I just can't figure it out. Can you see anything?

Could help on a turn where your board has been wiped, your opponent recovered by playing more creatures of that house, and you've got not a lot of board in hand to develop with. Although, the 3x Hysteria and 2x Ammonia Clouds and the Coward's End would serve you better in that regard, especially in the Mars mirror.

I wish the chains on Phosphorous Stars were somehow based on the number of stunned creatures. Like, 2 or less- no chains, 3+- 2 chains.

Really, you probably discard the Phosphorous Stars in most cases.

Hysteria + Control the Weak is a sick mini-combo for control.

This is a weirdly interesting deck.

That deck has a ton of board control with the Phosphorous Stars, Hysteria, Coward's End, etc. I feel like a lot of games, you might just throw all your creatures to the feeding pit while slowing down your opponent with all of your board wipes. I think Soul Snatcher and Warchest will be dead cards in a lot of games. You could use Vezyma Thinkdrone to archive your creatures before one of your board wipes or use Control the Weak to set up for a strong Phosphorus Stars/Hysteria/Coward's End play.

Also, Pandemonium + The Terror seems like a good combo

I think that play style might run into problems against Shadow decks that are light in board control, so in those games I'd suggest trying to use your board more and discard the Hysterias and Phosphorus Stars.

Phosphorous stars is in a deck at all - I just don't understand it.

Stare down an opponent's full stack of 10+ creatures in play when your opponent needs only a few of them to win next turn, and you need at least another turn to get your win condition (or dig for a proper board clear).

Hehe, I know there are situations. I just wish it only had 1 chain instead of 2.

I agree with that! 2 is too many for that effect, in my opinion. Especially when there are similar cards that gain no chains at all (like Radiant Truth and Blinding Light).

Thanks a bunch. These are all valuable insight (minus the "I wish the card text was different" ones :) ). I was looking into stalling the opponent and taking all the chains, getting some double agent Smyth / Grabber Jammer thing going but I'm not sure about it just yet.

You can always just use it in "Reversal" format if you think it is difficult to win with...
