Get an Ogre Siegebreaker and you got yourself a stew going.

It was a good stew, went 7-2 with this:

also fun is the interaction between audacious thief and vengeful warchief. yes I'll lose 1 life for a card and to make my creatures bigger.

I'm curious what the good drafters in the thread thought I did well in this draft/deck (the temple and Chandra were purely raredrafts). It felt a lot more consistent than some of my previous decks, probably because I had a good plan and stuck to it? Also a curve, maybe. I tried to focus a bit more on card advantage and some okay recursion strategies.

My favorite story from that reddit MTG thread was the guy who was playing someone's Avacyn commander deck and he cast something that took control of his opponent's Avacyn and the guy just said No. Nope. Not giving it to you.

HA! HA! NICE! WHAT A TOOL!
That card doesnt even seem good at 4 mana flat. It seems like you'd run him if you had a payoff for shredding your own face.

EDIT: I did not read the card correctly.

I may be bad at magic, but I can data entry.

Edit: That bant hex deck might suck a bit. I'm 1 and 7 with it, with my 1 win being a guy who disconnected. I've either gotten overrun by tokens or just endless mana draws with nothing to spend it on.

I've only seen scapeshift once or twice in BO1 outside of mythic so if you want a break from scapeshift you could always play bo1. Also, no-one in BO1 knows how to play against it so if you want some easy wins

I maindeck 4 duress with vamps and it feels like an OK matchup, you can hold off the duress for a few turns so that it doesn't slow your aggro, and if you can duress away their scapeshift it buys you several more turns. It's good enough against the rest of the meta that it seems fine.

Scapeshift is cool and good actually, because you almost never have a dead draw. Top decking a land still gives you a zombie!

so that bant hex deck is basically just the midrange bant deck from when war of the spark came out, except for some reason someone took out a bunch of good cards, I guess for the sake of the hexproof "theme". You should probably cut a couple Barkhides and put in some Oketras and maybe an Arkbow

that feeling when you're in an esper mirror and your opponent draws multiple thought erasure and duress every single game, and yours are consistently in the bottom 10 cards of your library.

Match 2. I'm still playing the last match so I stupidly keep a hand of 3 lands THOUGH ERASURE! YES WOOO! I DIDN'T TAKE THEM OUT! lilliana, command the dreadhorde, elder spell. Oops, this time I;'m not playing my last opponent, its mono-black aggro. Lose on turn 4 to zombie dino. Game 2, Esper is the shittiest deck ever, loses to Duress, Yarok's handfucker, Davriel. What's the secret to good opening hands?
