Time to let the dead be dead.

Arthurian legends?

The Eldraine novel that came out a few days ago that talks about Will, Rowan, Oko and Garruk. The Questing Beast is this thing that compels the knights of the realm to go on five different quests to prove their worth, and whoever completes the five quests gets to become king. Will and Rowan's dad was the one who supposedly did it. The Beast never kills anyone in the story. Or even attacks anyone really.

This should have been a wish effect instead of a tutor. It's a monkey's paw damnit.

That would probably make Bo1 players groan in that it makes every deck want a sideboard.

That is loving nuts. Four mana 4/4 haste that nullifies fog and lets you sneak past those pesky zombie tokens and the 0/3s and 1/1s too. Oh and smacks walkers for free while we're at it.

Once Upon A Time looks a fun card.

Joust is a replacement for Reckless Rage in Boros Feather.

That's what I thought at first but given that the +2/+1 is conditional on the target being a knight this is nowhere near as good. I'm not sure it fits the bill.

A Monkey's Paw is a pretty cool flavor add and I like that we now have Demonic Tutor in Standard but with a flavorful and interesting downside.

The downside being you need to have a return-to-hand on the stack before you activate it?

Gonna have to dig for creatures with compatible ETB effects.

Not sure what deck this can belong to in standard.




If a food factory decks gets made this can be very powerful. Not sure if it can work in an Abzan Wolves deck.



Very strong sideboard for tribal decks.

It's both thrilling and terrifying.
Does "Protection from [color]" prevent combat damage from that color? Does that mean that Questing Beast can be blocked by a Protection from Green creature and the blocker will die?

Protection prevents blocking.

Damaged by sources with the specified quality. (All such damage is prevented.)
Enchanted, equipped, or fortified by permanents with the specified quality.
Blocked by creatures with the specified quality.

You're correct, preventing damage prevention gets around protection. That was the old strategy for red dealing with protection stuff back in Odyssey (and I think pauper)

Waffleopolis posted:

This card is completely maindeckable? Not a 4 of, but it still works as removal pretty ok.

You're going to be able to hit 2 humans or 2 vampires or 2 knights or more often enough to justify.

Thank you for the new thread. I haven't posted here or in discord in awhile, but I still play. Saving all my gold til set rotation comes. Pretty stoked to experience the new meta. Have about 20 rare and 10 mythic WCs ready to go now. Won't get me far, still, but hey.

Good decks to grind Standard 2020 for exp so far:

- Temur elementals, whatever variation but "long game" seems to work better than aggro
- Bant ramp
- Sultai Yarok/Agent of Treachery
- Anything with lots of board wipes that gets people to snap concede
- Anything with B/U for thought erasure to get people to snap concede

It's my day off and I've done 20 matches, half were against cavalcade. So maybe just plan for that. I might just build "Dimir Boardwipes and Discard" to grind out the event and get my flying cat.

You don't need to have anything the stack. Just use smolferi to bounce it back from their side to your hand.

Of course! Teferi: the solution to, and cause of, all of our problems.

Still gonna want some additional means of bouncing because reusable tutor is :eyepop: (and also I like jank).

Imagine if he didn't have the bottom clause and you were recurring him with Order of Midnight on top of drawing cards off Midnight Rider

Heck there's already enough mono black knights to build a decent deck. Icon searching up planeswalker removal is rather good.

It feels pretty bad to lose the second game, but even though I started this season late, I still got in early enough that I only need this to hit twice a day and to get one more level from an event or code to hit 100, so I think I can live with that. That's probably about where my limit would have been though.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
i need to complete this event 8 more times (did once first try which makes it worse) to reach 99 day before rotation (didn't but the more expensive mastery pass)

ugh

Huh, I never made a field of dead deck so I've never paid attention to Golos besides the activate. That boy is just a neutral Cavalier. I want to put it into every deck.

That sucks, I’m so glad I don’t need to grind it out to hit 100. It’s vicious even in the unranked queue.

It's not really that bad. I finished five times today, and while I don't intend to keep up that rate, I was still winning more than I was losing. Maybe that was partially good luck and I'll have worse luck on subsequent days, but that's why I started off pushing harder on the first day, so when things get tougher I won't have as steep a climb. If it gets truly miserable, I'll just say gently caress it because I don't want that gaudy sleeve anyway and don't want to burn out before Eldraine.

Yeah I didn't understand Golos until I played him in Autumn's FoD deck. On my first activation I got Lil Teffrey and Veil of Summer against a Simic Flash deck. They snap conceded after trying to counter the Teferi, it was perfect. Golos owns.
