When you try to queue up with a historic deck you're in historic.

Huh, well that's not made very clear in the client. Maybe I'll give it a try tonight.

I honestly would just ignore historic until they roll out the events for it. Unless you just really want to play with the old cards it's pretty pointless at the moment.

The way they did it shows specifically that they are also very afraid of offering players too many options and/or they don't want to scare off the super casuals who all they do is open the game and click play. People who would get confused and quit before they ever used their eyes and clicked a "play historic" button or God forbid built a standard legal deck.

I kind of want to mess around with adding new cards to mono red, but if it's this hidden and there's no really point to it, most likely the only people playing will be folks who maybe don't even realize they're queueing into it. So not the best testing.

I've determined Simic Flash is the most annoying deck to ever be created because it follows my two simple rules of annoying loving decks: 1. Counterspells 2. People playing cards and tanking on your turn. I need deck ideas to crush this that aren't Golos because frankly I'm bored of playing it at this point. I'm thinking some sort of super friends deck between Dovin and Teferi.

So not the best testing. Yeah if you do play historic right now it doesn't count wins for the daily 15 or the weekly 15 wins. So it's pretty much just for fun at this point and it doesn't seem super fun to me.

I'd like to say that I quit playing HS the day after the beta opened not because I was bored with it but as pre-emptive solidarity with HK protestors

Doubly so if that something is Tef. Losing dive down and curiosity helped with a lot of the bullshit. But basically don't play decks that rely on a big play like Manse Danse. Throwing hero, Oko, Teferi, questing beast, wicked wolf turn after turn though...

Obviously luck is a factor but they play a few wishes and other spells to fish for the right answer but even without that, they were able to keep wiping my board and I just didn't have anything with haste to deal with it. get multiple fields in play and suddenly they need to have a sweeper for every land drop you make. they cant kill you quickly and you run them out of sweepers before they can kill you with dance the matchup is like 90% - 10% in favor of golos, you're probably just running into some bad variance. bring in some veil of summers and negates/vetos from your sideboard

Golgari Knights combo still has a winning ratio for me but I haven't had the care to grind past Gold this season so maybe it falls apart later

I don't have the actual wildcards or really the desire to play Golos Fields normally.

I just lost a Dance mirror where I had successfully Ego’d all their Dances. Chipped away by knights and loving main deck Narset that I can only see being in their for the Bo1 mirror. Fee like drowning in my tub lol

instead, think of what you can do to make your deck better in the future against that

I can't believe there's a deck that mains Ego. Everyone here was so sure that card was pointless last rotation.

oh poo poo https://twitter.com/MagicEsports/status/1182022924863246336 Significance of this timing is that it's right after the Mythic Championship which is Standard. I can't imagine it has to do with Modern but it's possibly both?

I'd be totally fine with being wrong about a Field (or hell Golos) ban. https://mobile.twitter.com/armlx/status/1182023833357864960

Good thing I wound up making that Gruul deck last night instead of crafting Golos to update my old Scapeshift deck. Ty Bust Rodd Because I assume if they ban Field of the Dead there's no way they'd refund Golos as well

I'm working on the assumption that Golos remains unbanned, but no longer has a home in any deck, so it would be 4 rare wildcards down the drain

Watch them ban Golos instead for some dumb-poo poo reason (I'd actually be down for that since I have 2 Golos from opening packs).

If they didn't plan any cards that interact with field next set (which imo is likely given that castles dont exactly demand an answer like ix fliplands) they can feel pretty ok about banning it sooner rather than later. They successfully killed every M20 deck after rotation besides field, golos field was something that I dont think they expected or had a plan for.

Man I can't wait to see what kind of dumpster fire the MC decklist must be.

Seems like pretty much every tutor card and mana-cheat card ever printed ends up being way overpowered but here we are

before we go overboard keep in mind this deck was balanced last set. Aggro being especially weak is more the culprit than field is (though aggro being weak is absolutely something they knew was coming)

Field needs to go but it would be balanced if something like gruul, rdw, white weenie, vamps, etc was legal
