I've been half watching Amazonian, and the only one Oko I've noticed missed their third land and scooped to her T4 Torbran.

Funkdreamer posted:Wait, is the converted mana cost of adventure creatures their creature cost + the adventure cost? I don't get this ban. the cmc of an adventure creature is the creature, but when it goes on the stack you pick whether you're casting the creature or the adventure so in that case, you could cascade into flaxen and then cast her adventure for free at 2 mana

I played a brawl oko and it did indeed suck. But also I hadn’t played a fields deck in a week so actually people just play what they want it seems.Kawabata posted:Thanks for the insight but you answered ironically to a 100% unironic question. Sorry, just War was disgusting and miserable and now tef and narset and tamayo are all gonna ruin my day now that I’ve invoked their name. I think you might be looking at a bunch of ‘playable’ stuff from eldraine and not seeing counterparts in war, but like war is on the rear end end of the cycle, green already had steel leaf champion and carnage tyrant and a dozen things besides, it didn’t need something like questing beast.

There's no real need for meta. There's no ladder and none of the rewards matter except to people who just want to play Brawl I managed to win 5 in a row with my mono-G-except-for-Hydroid-Krasis Kiora build.

Kawabata posted:Just bought the new 9.99 bundle. Now I'm off to crafting some new stuff and it's still surprising to me that almost everything that's rare/mythic and played right now is from Eldraine. Did Spark not have as many good cards or are its good cards somehow not powerful enough for the current meta? Neither, really. War had a lot of absolute bombs, but slower cards. ELD simply has more utility cards, better synergies, and more importantly - more flexible cards. A lot of the strongest cards in WAR were late game cards you had to build your deck around, either partially or completely. Think Nissa and Liliana, for instance, or Jace. The faster PWs like Narset and Teferi still see quite a bit of play, and there are some good utility cards in there as well - but there's no synergy as strong as Adventures in WAR, there's nothing as aggressive as Questing Beast or Oko (or even the Goose), and overall it was just a slower set. The power levels are there, it's just less flexible and gets outraced by plenty of other cards from other sets.

It's me, I'm the guy who played Oko for his Brawl Commander. It's funny how he houses any creature-based Commander just from his +1. Creatures that would have otherwise made respectful commanders (Niv, Yarok) just turn into 3/3 elks. That being said Oko has no real way to deal with other PWers besides just out pacing them. Here's my dumb pile that could probably use some refinement but it's just Brawl: Commander 1 Oko, Thief of Crowns (ELD) 197 Deck 1 Castle Vantress (ELD) 242 1 Opt (ELD) 59 10 Forest (ANA) 65 1 Questing Beast (ELD) 171 8 Island (ANA) 62 1 Trail of Crumbs (ELD) 179 1 Gilded Goose (ELD) 160 1 Breeding Pool (RNA) 246 1 Simic Guildgate (RNA) 257 1 Fabled Passage (ELD) 244 1 Temple of Mystery (M20) 255 1 Nissa, Who Shakes the World (WAR) 169 1 Paradise Druid (WAR) 171 1 Arboreal Grazer (WAR) 149 1 Growth Spiral (RNA) 178 1 Wicked Wolf (ELD) 181 1 Nightpack Ambusher (M20) 185 1 Voracious Hydra (M20) 200 1 Hydroid Krasis (RNA) 183 1 Tamiyo, Collector of Tales (WAR) 220 1 Golden Egg (ELD) 220 1 Feasting Troll King (ELD) 152 1 Maraleaf Pixie (ELD) 196 1 Negate (M20) 69 1 Leafkin Druid (M20) 178 1 Risen Reef (M20) 217 1 Once Upon a Time (ELD) 169 1 Yorvo, Lord of Garenbrig (ELD) 185 1 Pelt Collector (GRN) 141 1 Brineborn Cutthroat (M20) 50 1 Quench (RNA) 48 1 Sinister Sabotage (GRN) 54 1 Essence Capture (RNA) 37 1 Mystical Dispute (ELD) 58 1 Mission Briefing (GRN) 44 1 Wilderness Reclamation (RNA) 149 1 Spectral Sailor (M20) 76 1 Brazen Borrower (ELD) 39 1 Frilled Mystic (RNA) 174 1 Thrashing Brontodon (RIX) 148 1 Cavalier of Thorns (M20) 167 1 Ugin, the Ineffable (WAR) 2 1 Command Tower (ELD) 333

That deck would just completely go over the top of the rest of the format, it’s hard enough to interact favorably with a normal card pool.

Truth Quark posted:Every time I get matched against a cat deck I sigh heavily not because it’s hard to deal with, but because it requires four clicks in every end step and the person piloting it inevitably takes about 2 minutes per activation of witch’s oven I think it depends on how much draw the deck has and if its alternative wincon (usually going aggro pretty hard but not always) is as solid as win by kitty. With 2 cats+ 2 ovens you're looking at least at 2 guaranteed damage per turn and 2 unkillable chump blockers, unless it's against Questing or Krasis which black can usually deal with anyway with removal. If you're too greedy you'll get the cats exiled but if you always have an oven untapped to save the kitty it shouldn't happen that often. Even when they start slow Oven decks can sometimes stall a game for quite a long time, and if the opponent doesn't have enough healing or a commanding enough board position they're just going to lose. The latest Rakdos Aristocrats version seems viable at every level of play, with a decent matchup vs Oko decks thanks to Angrath's Rampage and Bedevil. It's no tier 1 but no deck without Oko in it currently is I suppose. Kawabata fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Oct 24, 2019 |

Playing against cook the cat usually goes like this for me First 5ish turns - "We got this, we can run them over" Turn 6-9 - "Wait let me do some math. How did this happen? Son of a..." After - "Goddammit" The deck isn't even super powerful but facing it feels like a bug trying to get out of a venus flytrap. That's respectable for a magic deck.

Tom Gorman posted:Playing against cook the cat usually goes like this for me It feels like the deck shouldn't be this viable but weirdly it is. I think it's the combination of healing, continuous chip damage and chump blocking that makes it pretty resilient and the opponent not expecting to have to work that hard to beat it. flatluigi posted:Does the new tiny XP reward for 15 wins stop at some point before the 15 wins are up, or is it for all of them? IIRC it's for all the daily 15 wins

It's straight up more xp available but I was content in being able to max out the XP fairly easily. It might make me play more though, sometimes I feel like I need to stop playing when I have my daily rewards done.

Me an hour ago: “Oh boy after months of waiting I can just sit down and play my Yarok deck in Brawl, this is gonna be awesome” Me now: “this 7th Yarok mirror match where they play all my best cards one turn before I play them sucks mad poo poo. I am literally watching my own deck go off in my face” So now I’m building Oko.

I feel like you should go to prison for that.

Honestly it felt positively karmic to spend like 20 minutes throwing all the meanest and most obvious ETBs into the deck and then immediately be made to endure all of them, twice at a time, over and over again, like Dante’s Inferno but with magic cards instead of hell.
