"we play the probability game you'll find that 4 Jackknife base forms is consistent enough" - Probability game? What numbers? Consistent by whose standards? Certainly not my standards when a whole deck is build around that one something I need consistently.

"that if you minus yourself too much you'll consistently lose" - What minus? The only minus I see is from the gauge, which I can just build up from Dragoknuckle, Blue Dragon Shield and El Quixote.

"A better alternative to Braveheart would be maxing out on Grimoires and using those as your draw engine to draw into Jackknives" - I want Jackknife early so that i can convert life into card advantage, and start plowing through my opponent's defenses, trying to dig for Jackknife at 5 life is way too late, and not guarenteed in the slightest.

"Braveheart into a Jackknife only to be Begone!!'d by some Magic World user. You -2 hand, -3 gauge while they only -1 hand -2 gauge."

-You::: Braveheart: -1 from hand -2 guage, add jackknife to hand: +1 hand. Call Jackknife, -1 hand, -1 gauge. Net -1 hand -3 gauge.

-Opponent:::: Begone!! -1 hand -2 gauge.

Net Difference: 0 hand, -1 gauge.

Only losing 1 gauge here, I dont see the problem (apart from losing a Jackknife of course, but Dragon World can't stop Begone!! so can't do much about that)
