The vast majority of complaints go away when you can pull out hyper specific cards that dunk on annoying poo poo your opponent does.

Yeah this is the deck that I just played and barely won against, I really underestimated Ayara and that sac ability.

If I make a second deck soon it might be trying to see if an Orzhov shell would work, I guess that would just lead to the Doom Foretold archetype though

Cats with only one 1x food engine in the whole deck though?

I put three ovens into my deck and it’s grindy as gently caress. Really annoying and hard to deal with.

Edit: drat, robber of the rich seems really good. I opened zero. There's so many rares and mythics I want!

Cat enters battlefield, drains 1, gets tossed in the over, makes food, food gets sacrificed to return cat to battlefield, repeat for each oven. Rest of the deck is just more ways to get food, sacrifice cats and eat delicious pies.

It's very situational. Is drawing more lands still useful at this point in the game? Is your opponent threatening you in a way that you need to answer right now? Do you already have a play lined up for next turn?

Once you're late in the game, scrying for the cards in your deck that are still relevant is going to be better. But if you're not under much pressure in the midgame, it's better to just draw extra cards and build up your resources.

Yeah I forgot vraska’s was exile and this is destroy. And yeah I’m pretty sure the library thing is so GY decks can’t keep recurring creature/PW destruction

The moonlight through the doorway on this card looks like a flash-burned silhouette of a cat, and I wonder if that's on purpose or a happy accident.

I don't have the resources to make a "proper" black Aristocats deck so I filled in the holes with some Dreadmalkins and Giant Skewers. Then I won a game by:
1. giving a Skewer to a pumped Dreadmalkin, forcing my opponent to double-block it to prevent lethal
2. feeding a Familiar and another creature to an un-pumped, unblocked Malkin to put my opponent at 1 life
3. using the Food created by the double-blocked Skewer-wielding Malkin to bring the Familiar back and do the last point of damage
and it was hilarious.

Mmm. Just gave that a few trial runs. I've actually got a chunk of those cards already, so that may be a keeper.

It's definitely a control deck but somehow it feels silly too.

So far the board states and decisions im making in standard are way more wide open than M20 was. A lot of turns I have like 6 options that are all very close on the patented Time scale of bad————-good. I’m sure the format will crystallize and they will get easier but it feels good and not linear at all rn

Let me respond to this by asking “what do you think the manabase for this even looks like right now?”

ICYMI, Bryan Gottlieb aced Fandom legends with Esper Dance and posted a d3ck t3c=k this morning with the decklist updates he made after the fact. He's not sold on it being the "best deck in standard" but it's very strong in this current "everyone is trying to do stuff with creatures" meta because Doom Foretold and Kaya's Wrath, Tef3ri, and Oath of Kaya is a super strong core, and the Dance + Eggs synergy gives the deck constant gas, perfect mana, and seriously disgusting win condition.

I wasn't 100% sold on Dance until the first time you actually put 5 eggs, 2 Dooms, and an Oath back into play and draw a new hand, it's truly gross.
