oh my god. Ali has brewed a deck using Chance for Glory to make all his creatures indestructible for the whole game by countering Chance for Glory's "lose the game" clause with Tale's End. Absolute loving madman.

Lol made an Emmara brawl deck and immediately ran into a Petitioners deck that milled me before I could draw any board-buffs or enough 3+ attack creatures to hit through his 1/3s

I can't believe what a crazy amount of fun it is to do Orzhov Enchantments. Sure there's the Doom Foretold thing but it's surprisingly easy to lock a game down just using Oath of Kaya into Conclave Tribunal, Smothering Tithe then using the bonus mana for Ethereal Absolution. I only have like 9 Rare Wildcards but like 20 mythics so I'm strongly considering crafting a few more Kaya to survive the early aggro game. edit: I can't believe how many people will play 1/1's into my Ethereal Absolution. Just had someone try with a Pteremander then concede out of shame. Zero VGS fucked around with this message at 09:18 on Oct 26, 2019 |

For some reason they made buying packs even more tedious by making you redeem each pack as it's purchased for gold. I don't know if it's just packs from older sets that I happened to be buying or is the way going forward?

I've only been playing for just a couple of days (all the guild starters unlocked at least). Are any of the physical decks that come with Arena codes to match particularly worth it? I do some very casual real-life play too so it wouldn't be just for the codes.

I bought them for me and the wife and we have fun. Not seeing myself attending any Friday night magic any time ever. If you got the right Oko instead of the bad one in the Planeswalker deck it would have been worth it.

I'm pretty sure someone at a meeting went "How can we passive-aggressively frustrate the people who save up gold and open 100 packs of a new set the day it comes out instead of spending money like god intended?" and they all signed off on the idea immediately.

I imagine Grumgully is some weird fairy drug dealer who just gives mushrooms to whoever passes by and runs of giggling as they proceed to freak out on a bad trip. Commander 1 Grumgully, the Generous (ELD) 192 Deck 1 Dwarven Mine (ELD) 243 1 Castle Embereth (ELD) 239 1 Gingerbread Cabin (ELD) 245 1 Gruul Guildgate (RNA) 249 1 Rugged Highlands (M20) 250 1 Stomping Ground (RNA) 259 1 Cryptic Caves (M20) 244 1 Fabled Passage (ELD) 244 1 Pelt Collector (GRN) 141 9 Forest (ELD) 269 1 Incubation Druid (RNA) 131 1 Barkhide Troll (M20) 165 1 Trollbred Guardian (RNA) 148 1 Collision // Colossus (RNA) 223 7 Mountain (ELD) 265 1 Gruul Spellbreaker (RNA) 179 1 Courage in Crisis (WAR) 158 1 Evolution Sage (WAR) 159 1 Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin (WAR) 137 1 Embercleave (ELD) 120 1 Domri, Anarch of Bolas (WAR) 191 1 Domri's Ambush (WAR) 192 1 Castle Garenbrig (ELD) 240 1 Ferocity of the Wilds (ELD) 123 1 Rhythm of the Wild (RNA) 201 1 Thorn Mammoth (ELD) 323 1 Garenbrig Paladin (ELD) 157 1 Zhur-Taa Goblin (RNA) 215 1 Nikya of the Old Ways (RNA) 193 1 Fling (ELD) 126 1 Leafkin Druid (M20) 178 1 God-Eternal Rhonas (WAR) 163 1 Return of the Wildspeaker (ELD) 172 1 Paradise Druid (WAR) 171 1 Arcane Signet (ELD) 331 1 Outmuscle (ELD) 170 1 Thrash // Threat (RNA) 229 1 Frenzied Arynx (RNA) 173 1 Sunder Shaman (RNA) 210 1 Goblin Banneret (GRN) 102 1 Stony Strength (RNA) 143 1 Weaselback Redcap (ELD) 148 1 Shock (M20) 160 1 Lava Coil (GRN) 108 1 Bonecrusher Giant (ELD) 115 There's probably a few bad cards in here but the strategy of early grumgully - start proliferating - get a big thing or Embercleave on something seems to work. Domri is very handy and I kind of like the little utility Planeswalkers from War of the Spark! Not had a chance to cast Rhonas yet but that's another way to end the game. Nkya's downside isn't so bad if you're going to be casting creatures anyway.

Seen quite a few Grumgully decks out there, I would caution anyone playing that you need to have a bunch of creature removal and be doing stuff early in this Brawl format or you are going to get run over by Gruul or Oko before you can do anything.

I wonder why sorcerous spyglass isn't in more sideboards for Oko. Seems like the cleanest answer as artifact removal is pretty minimal. You can't get blown out by veil and it's a proactive card that doesn't rely on good timing like counters or discard. Eminently sideboardable as it's colorless, too.

The Sean posted:I already think planeswalkers are the worst mechanic in Magic but holy poo poo I played someone who had a deck that was only planeswalkers and I hope something bad happens to them. There's at least one planeswalker whose whole thing is that you play them alongside multiple planeswalkers - Sarkhan. It's a godawful deck to face with anything that tries to... you know, play creatures and reduce their opponent's life total to 0 with them. I went through a big phase in the first couple of weeks playing (around the top of silver/bottom of gold in constructed) where I was just always incredibly frustrated by every deck just having a tonne of planeswalkers I don't have access to, but I got over that, partly through learning to deal with them, partly through building decks with enough counters to them, and partly through earning my own. I still wish there was a limited format with a lower barrier to entry than 5k gold though, just because it levels the playing field at least a little.

Planeswalkers loving suck. War if the spark was the worst set in magic easily and definitely the worst expansion set for any game ever made.

Eminently sideboardable as it's colorless, too. one of the reasons that oko is criminally busted is how u/g has access to the best cards at every point in the curve. spyglass stopping their 3-drop is not a profitable exchange when your opponent follows up with wicked wolf into nissa into krasis (plus goose and OUaT to ensure that they do their thing faster and more consistently than you).

Hear me out: Huatli Brawl deck. Being able to reliably get Huatli out means you can pull in all the cheap 0 power creatures and make them work. It's working out well after one game.

Finished off the brawl by winning three straight games with Oko after my opponent gave up immediately after seeing Oko or right after I played him on turn two or three. I feel bad, he’s busted.
