Finally hit Mythic for constructed just in time to get the extra pack before end of season. With a combo of Rakdos Aristocrats, Simic Flash, and minor experiments with Gruul Aggro and Mardu Knights, I apologize to anyone in the Bo1 queue that I annoyed with Simic Flash, it's nothing personal. It really just felt like the only deck that could handle the onslaught of Oko decks.

Anyone looking for a deck capable of dealing with Oko and decent against the rest of the meta should try this GW deck. Sjow is currently playing it at top Mythic and I'm having a lot of fun with it. 1 Castle Ardenvale (ELD) 238 2 Conclave Tribunal (GRN) 6 4 Edgewall Innkeeper (ELD) 151 4 Faerie Guidemother (ELD) 11 2 Flower // Flourish (GRN) 226 8 Forest (ELD) 269 4 Giant Killer (ELD) 14 4 Kraul Harpooner (GRN) 136 4 Lovestruck Beast (ELD) 165 4 Once Upon a Time (ELD) 169 8 Plains (ELD) 253 4 Shepherd of the Flock (ELD) 28 4 Temple Garden (GRN) 258 1 The Great Henge (ELD) 161 2 Unbreakable Formation (RNA) 29 4 Venerated Loxodon (GRN) 30 3 Gideon Blackblade (WAR) 13 4 Glass Casket (ELD) 15 2 Knight of Autumn (GRN) 183 3 Questing Beast (ELD) 171 3 Veil of Summer (M20) 198

Eldraine limited without mill is so much fun I can't state this enough. What a fantastic set.

Mill is cool and good e; I have no idea what that draftable commander format is gonna be but please bring that to Arena thank you Wizards Kashuno fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Oct 31, 2019 |

Did they get rid of the mill in limited or are you one of them old-fashioned physical players? 'cause last time I dared to do a draft I still got milled out. Despite activating a Midnight Clock.

I think the draft bots change has worked because I'm running into way less mill decks. Plus I've learned to just rush them down with everything I've got.

It would be funny if they unbanned Field instead of banning Oko. Honestly I think the meta was maybe better with Field?

It was bad with field before it would be bad with field without oko. Though Field is 100% a card that could possibly get unbanned someday if they print cards that interact with lands in a meaningful way.

The meta was definitely better with field but it wasn't good, just slightly less crappy. They both need to go.

Both metas were terrible but come on nothing was as bad as fields so far in MTG:A history. Even the Esper reign was more tolerable than non stop field decks. Oko is like the Sauron to fields' Melkor

It wasn't a serious suggestion--I think they both deserve to be banned. I just think the game's been less fun to play since Field alone was banned. It could just be bad standard fatigue though.

I always felt like I had a solid chance against Field after sideboarding. Most of the Oko variants (esp. Sultai) just get stronger in game 2-3. When I go to game 2 I'm not changing much about my deck because I'm already mainboarding all my Oko hate, lmao.

Oko is like the Sauron to fields' Melkor I didn't feel this way at all. Whenever the best deck is a control deck, there's always ways to beat it. Oko decks win on T2, except they then take like 7 more turns of grind to finish you off. It's hell.

Counterpoint: Oko is far more prevalent in every format of Magic than Field is

They're gonna print something pushed that fuels its own escape cost, guaranteed. Some ridiculous creature that draws two ETB and self mills four on attack. Just wait.

I don't think nearly as many people were smashing concede when Field dropped as they are when Oko drops either.

Honestly I think the meta was maybe better with Field? the meta was more diverse with golos around but that was propped up by a lot of content creators showing off "this deck crushes golos!!!" decks that in reality had a 40% winrate against someone with a tuned sideboard. currently the best deck is an even larger percentage of the meta and aggro has an even worse winrate against it so i guess things were better back then.

I like seeing Oko decks now because my Doom Foretold deck has like 20 cards that directly kill it. People turn into the biggest bitches when they play multiple Oko and Nissa and realize they are still going to lose. Or it could just be my pony cards.

If I have any amount of Lucky Clovers in play and play an adventure, if I decline to trigger even one of the copies, the card fails to exile itself and goes to my graveyard instead. Is that correct rules behavior or should I go file a bug about it? It sure seems wrong.

Does Oko only show up at higher ladder levels? I don't see it very often, but I also only just made it to platinum rank a few days ago and I still face a lot of starter decks.

You're declining to choose new targets, you can't decline any copies triggering. Because you declined to choose a new target, the copy of Murderous Rider kills your target, then your original card fizzles because its target is gone. This would also happen if you casted an Order of Midnight, Brazen Borrower, or any adventure that targets with Lucky Clover out and declined.

Honestly there's more Oko in free play than Platinum. Every time I go up a few points with Doom Foretold I'll run into the Gruul or Cavalcade top 8 decks. I have a chance to beat Gruul if I can slap Oath of Kayas on the 3 Zur Ta Goblins they always have in their opening hand, Cavalcade on the other hand has too much firepower to last 4 turns against.

I think that what this lesson has taught us is that if a deck is 50% of the field and another deck is like 30% of the field, then banning the 50% deck into oblivion wont magically balance your format it will just make the 30% deck jump to 70%

Maybe they shouldn't print three mana planeswalkers that are better than every 5 mana planeswalker ever printed.
