I think Castle Embereth is my favorite card in the set.

Holy poo poo this deck might be the most fun deck I've ever played. Just so much loving with your opponent. It completely disrupts almost every deck except Simic Flash. Win condition is casting Doom Foretold and making your opponent sacrifice stuff while you sacrifice useless artifacts/enchantments. You can also have fun using Dance of the Manse to bring everything back by casting with absurd values for X. Esper Doom 1 Castle Vantress (ELD) 242 3 Dance of the Manse (ELD) 186 1 Island (ELD) 257 1 Wishclaw Talisman (ELD) 110 3 Doom Foretold (ELD) 187 4 Oath of Kaya (WAR) 209 1 Dovin's Veto (WAR) 193 3 Fabled Passage (ELD) 244 4 Godless Shrine (RNA) 248 4 Golden Egg (ELD) 220 4 Guild Globe (WAR) 239 4 Hallowed Fountain (RNA) 251 4 Kaya's Wrath (RNA) 187 1 Legion's End (M20) 106 2 Murderous Rider (ELD) 97 1 Planar Cleansing (M20) 33 4 Teferi, Time Raveler (WAR) 221 2 Swamp (ANA) 63 4 Temple of Silence (M20) 256 3 Thought Erasure (GRN) 206 4 Watery Grave (GRN) 259 2 Ashiok, Dream Render (WAR) 228 1 Cry of the Carnarium (RNA) 70 2 Disenchant (M20) 14 2 Plains (ANA) 61 1 Disfigure (M20) 95 2 Dovin's Veto (WAR) 193 2 Duress (M20) 97 1 Legion's End (M20) 106 1 Realm-Cloaked Giant (ELD) 26 2 The Elderspell (WAR) 89 1 Unmoored Ego (GRN) 212 The only bad thing about it is it uses a lot of weird rares so it might not be worth it to craft. Still, it's immensely satisfying. edit: oh its this deck AngryBooch posted:Esper Dance of Doom looks hosed up! I can confirm it's hosed up! edit 2: I also spent a ton of rare wildcards I've been saving to craft all the dual lands from RNA/GRN/M20. It's so nice seeing decklists and not immediately looking away because I don't have the manabase. I have 3 games left in the play any card event and then after that I guess I'll have to figure out what I want to craft for laddering. I'd craft more but I'm gonna try the whole "do a ton of limited drafts" strategy to get most of the rares. axeil fucked around with this message at 04:19 on Sep 27, 2019 |

7-1 with my first sealed run, a blue-red 'card draw matters' deck. I would post a decklist but they still don't loving let you look at it after the last win. It was mainly Improbable Alliance + Steelgaze Griffin + Mad Ratter for the wins.

Flash is so much fun now, it lost some good counters but gained two ridiculous creatures. I hope it stays tier 1 or 2 but even if it ends up being bad against the meta it will still be really fun to play.

Every time I try to pilot flash I turn into a simpleton and lose to everything, even though I’ve accumulated all the right cards to make the engine run. All I’m missing from these new lists are the borrowers and I’ve opened zero of those. I’m wondering if it’s worth it because of the whole losing thing plus the meta isn’t settled, but from what it sounds like borrowers are in. Dammit, wizards!

Try Esper Stax (aka Esper Doom), if you've got the parts for it. With the advent of food, I think that control/midrange decks are very well situated in the meta, and tempo decks might be good right now, with all of the unfocused decks running around, but once things stabilize, I think it's a bad time for tempo and aggro. To say nothing of a good golos/field of the dead deck, or something similar. Please don't quote this post so I can edit it later when I am hideously wrong.

I have no idea how long it will last, but Oko is loving ridiculous, especially if you get him out on T2 and doubly especially if you're on the play. Anything 3cc or less is in danger of being swapped, anything 4cc or more is in danger of just turning into a goddamn elk. Questing Beast? If it doesn't connect, then it turns into an Elk. Great Henge? Turned into an Elk. Literally any creature or artifact that is worse than a vanilla 3/3 just becomes a vanilla 3/3. And if there's no creature, then you can make a bunch of Food to say gently caress you to burn, or slowly roll out vanilla 3/3s of your own. Like you absolutely need Murderous Rider, Bedevil, or uh, Spark Harvest? to deal with Oko. Holy poo poo what a card. And yeah adding lil Tef and Hero just feels mean. This is what I've been playing. Doesn't feel optimized yet. I think I need to replace the Guardmages with something and even the Maraleafs are occasionally a pain in the rear end to cast, although both do create an alternative win condition of just hitting them in the air. I'm sorta tempted to see how a Superfriends-esque deck would work, using Dovin as another token generator instead of the Guardmages or using Tamiyo to recur anything/dig, but Tamiyo runs the problem of being a bit too slow and realistically I'm just thinking of Turbofog. Nissa is also only just okay, primarily used to power out Krasis. 4 Hero of Precinct One (RNA) 11 1 Plains (ANA) 61 4 Hydroid Krasis (RNA) 183 4 Forest (ANA) 65 3 Deputy of Detention (RNA) 165 3 Elite Guardmage (WAR) 195 4 Growth Spiral (RNA) 178 4 Teferi, Time Raveler (WAR) 221 3 Nissa, Who Shakes the World (WAR) 169 4 Breeding Pool (RNA) 246 4 Hallowed Fountain (RNA) 251 4 Temple Garden (GRN) 258 4 Temple of Mystery (M20) 255 1 Fabled Passage (ELD) 244 4 Oko, Thief of Crowns (ELD) 197 4 Gilded Goose (ELD) 160 4 Maraleaf Pixie (ELD) 196 1 Island (ANA) 62

It might only be day one but I'm super happy with how Eldraine fits into standard and how things play. I ran into most of the deck archetypes running around and it all felt petty balanced and no deck was really unfun to play against, unlike the last few months where there wasn't much you could do about Scapeshift. Now we just need the drafts to unlock to see how this set drafts, but I'm pretty optimistic. Edit: my biggest complaint is the cosmetics aren't the alternate art/frame cards. Those are dope and way better than the parallax cosmetic. It's cool enough I would actually consider spending $$$ on it if it was offered. axeil fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Sep 27, 2019 |

Even the b/r aggro deck has a ton of rares in it.

Yeah the rares are going to be a problem for new players, it depends on how the meta shakes out but theres a ton of powerful ELD rares and mythics so it may be hard to get people to the top tier of decks.

They're not going to win you a tournament or anything but they're pretty decent as a jumping off point and can get you exposed to what colors you like to play. Early on don't focus on wins just focus on trying to pilot the deck properly and make the right plays. If you feel like you're doing that then you can worry about more iffy calls and whether you're winning. Piloting correctly and learning from your mistakes will get you farther in Magic than crafting a tier one deck and piloting it brainlessly.

You can't get creatures back into the graveyard from the battlefield while you have the cauldron, but it doesn't stop you getting stuff into the 'yard through other means, like discard or self-mill. It's to stop you from just recurring the same big critter over and over again.

 Boros is really fun right now. Had some really insane games. One game I used only Castle Embereth, Castle Ardenvale, and Outlaws Merriment to shut down Nissa somehow. Another I had a mono-g opponent with the absolute nuts, Yorvo into Questing into Ferox into Ferox, and my entire game was Angel of Grace, Angel of Grace into Tenth District and Tajic.

After a good first sealed pool and an okay second one (both on the backs of commons/uncommons, never got more than 2 rares playable in the same deck) my third pool is truly loving garbage. 3 good rares but 2 of them are in basically unplayable colors due to the lack of cards in them. Absolutely not a single good 40-card deck in there. There are maybe two good decks with ~33 - 35 cards and some filler that isn't bad but completely doesn't suit the deck's gameplan. I don't even have enough low-drops for a makeshift aggro deck to salvage things, and I have about 0 good control cards so I can't just make some value thing either (I still tried and got dumpstered in game 2).
