Tom Ross actually just said on the MPL stream that every time some dummy comes in here to fill their diaper and bitch about how much they hate a card or deck or archetype, they're going to reprint that card in the immediate next set.

I’ve been jamming a Golos field deck in BO1 and everyone is playing simic flash and owning me. Not convinced it’s gonna be the best deck in the free event.

Fetchlands are terrible, am I right!? I would hate to have to play "against" decks that use them

What all decks are you going with for the event? I think I’m going to go with green stomp; troll kings, wicked wolves, yorvo, henge, questing beasts, and mana dorks.

I think I'm gonna try an Izzet Draw 2 deck relying on Royal Scions, someone posted a version of it in the other thread

Yeah I'm completely undecided on what to run - my Rakdos aggro is tons of fun and I'm getting better at piloting it but what if the meta is anti-aggro and I lose :ohdear:

The free event "answer" has to be Jeskai Fires, right? It works well against Golos and also handles aggro decks. I guess we'll see.

Yeah! I like mine too but I think that green has been more consistent. If I run into heavy removal my random aggro doesn’t have a lot of draw

I don't know if I'll cut it quite that close, but I'm definitely waiting a bit in the hopes that a lot of the better players will want to get in and out. That said, I have no illusions about winning 11 or 12 games in this format, so whatever I end up with is fine and I'm not agonizing over picking the very best deck or anything.

R&D is always really clear that they want non-basic lands to be a choice, but they don't really want to put punishes in for them.

I'm thinking the best bet is anything with Fae of Wishes package to have answers for random decks. It seems like Golos is the deck to beat so people will build for that, but I don't feel like 12 random MTGA players are super in-tune with the meta.

there are like 6-7 variations on the Cook the Cat deck is there any consensus on which one is the best so I can delete a bunch of these decklists, i'm actually getting tired of cooking cats

All cards and archetypes are fine it's just certain cards and archetypes attract the worst players. The amount of feather and gates players that tank forever and then play out the most obvious move is astounding. Then they come into threads like this acting like it's really loving hard to figure out when to burn someone in RDW and when not to and you just have to shake your head.

Also there's a reoccurring theme that everyone with a Jace, Lazav, or Teferi avatar will highlight every card and land on the board plus their own hand before playing any card and also 4-5 times while you're playing your cards. It's like these avatars just attract nerd rear end nerds

I just played against a recursive food deck that took a half an hour and one thing I really miss from paper magic is being able to talk trash to someone and then spit in their face afterwards.

Round 1: Electromancer Phoenixes.
Round 2: Dmir Reanimator with a Drakuseth thrown in.
Round 3: Manse Dance Revolution (protip on the mirror: it's probably going to go 'til someone decks. Keep that in mind when you're Dancing and also don't underestimate Murderous Rider's ability to go back on bottom then be reshuffled for gaining virtual deck size advantage).

Temporary break time.

E: Started Game 4, have yet to be on the play.

Round 4: Gates.

Round 6: Finally won the coin toss and got to play first. Good thing, too, 'cause Mono-G aggro would've had me otherwise.

So far I've played UB Control (L), Bant Ramp played very badly (W), and Wolf Tribal (W), all with Bant Golos with a tweaked sideboard for wishes.

e: and as usual for a competitive event, everyone is playing super loving slowly

ps: died to mono black aggro when my hand got clogged up with fields and no actual plays
