Finished my twelve games today. Was planning on playing 3 games with 4 different decks, but ended up playing 6 games with Bant ramp because it was just so fun and felt so unfair. Also played 3 games with Jund adventure, which was also a lot of fun. You can really get some crazy stuff going when your adventure instants/sorceries trigger 2 or 3 times. Last 3 games was Rakdos aggro, it went well but didn't feel a ton of fun.

Bant ramp will be my deck for the 12-win challenge next week I think, unless something else turns up that I really want to play.

I found out mid game that Oko's elking ability hits artifacts but not enchantments yesterday morning. Yep, I need some main deck enchantment hate that isn't too narrow. Maybe knight of autumn.

So I've run into that Cat in the Oven deck and goddamn is that thing annoying to play against. The engine gets going so fast and once it does you just seem turbo hosed especially once Oko comes out.

Between cat pie and calamity my new deck is just a bunch of aoe and exile and it's working pretty darn good

I really thought this would be a slow meta but every god drat deck is aggro

I think a green/white spell is kinda hard to fit in decks at the moment, but Bryan Gottlieb put three in his sideboard for today's fandom tournament.

It has a tutorial and a single game vs. bot mode. You won't get much out of this game if you only want to play solo.

Most of your early opponents will play like an AI though amirite :v:

Just scrolled through the Eldraine pass, and at the top after level 110 is just an infinity symbol. Is that for prestige or something? It would be neat to have a payoff for overcapping it I guess.

3 or 4 Lucky Clovers turns a Murderous Rider into a board wipe, and if they have more clovers than you have creatures then the Rider ends up in the yard, where it's that much easier to recur.

I think they said you can just keep getting XP after you hit 110 and for each level's worth they'll give you an uncommon ICR (that has a chance to be rare or mythic)

I already bought the pass for "free" but will probably end up throwing another $20 into the pot

I think the mono black cat deck is fun because while it is creature based, you're not really that into attacking or real blocking so it feels like you're playing on a different axis to your opponent.

My serious business deck is probably going to be Simic Henge, my goof decks will be Mardu Aristocats and Abzan Wolves. Probably have a red aggro deck for questing, also should tweak Sultai Yarok with new cards

Henge is real annoying when it comes out.

That Bant ramp deck is real fun for a "slow" deck.

Should anyone find themselves at a wildcard shortage to start rotation regular-rear end Yarok Fields is still perfectly capable of cleaning house in Bo1. I'm in the high 60% WR with it. I mostly lose to Cavalcade if I don't have a grazer out to start.

You can put in a regular Evolving Wilds for the Fabled Passage, but you probably want to be crafting those anyway.

4 Arboreal Grazer (WAR) 149
1 Swamp (ELD) 261
4 Growth Spiral (RNA) 178
2 Overgrown Tomb (GRN) 253
4 Risen Reef (M20) 217

Got mono red cavalcade going at the minute, will be drafting when that comes out and will probably diversify into some kind of UR Irencrag Pyromancer or simic ramp/flash deck

I did just open a Doom Foretold but no way am I throwing wildcards at that just yet

You only eat the life loss if the copies resolve, so it depends on the situation. If a creature represents 2+ damage to you, it's probably worth it. Plus you can always play the Rider out and have lifelink going.

OK, so this deck was working okay last night, but today I have not drawn a pyromancer. Full stop. Five matches with no pyro draws in the first twenty cards, and then three matches where I just mulliganed until I saw one (mull'ed down to 4, 3, 3 respectively and lost). That said, when you draw a pyro early you can just wreck shop:

4 Hard Cover (M20) 63
11 Mountain (ANA) 64
2 Saheeli, Sublime Artificer (WAR) 234
4 Irencrag Pyromancer (ELD) 128
13 Island (ANA) 62
4 Chemister's Insight (GRN) 32
4 Opt (ELD) 59
4 Lava Coil (GRN) 108
4 Shock (M20) 160
2 Agent of Treachery (M20) 43
2 Mass Manipulation (RNA) 42
3 Slaying Fire (ELD) 143
1 Electrodominance (RNA) 99
2 Radical Idea (GRN) 52

There's obviously just some random poo poo in there- the electrodominance, for example- but the goal is to stick a pyro, slap a hard cover on it or on a servo token, and just ping over and over

Sure but like pay 8 life to board wipe against a deck that is likely punching you in the face seems like a bad deal.

TBF, I wouldn't try to do that against a deck like Cavalcade or Rakdos, that seems like a bad idea. Stomp (Bonecrusher Giant) would be a good substitution against those low-to-the-ground aggro decks.
