So I'm running a sealed and I'm like 89% sure I should be in B/G here but I just wanted to double check exact card choices: Current Deck:  Full Pool: https://imgur.com/a/VemJEZz e: Nyx Lotus seems a bit iffy; maybe I replace it with the second 4G give dudes trample dude or something idk.

Look Around You posted:So I'm running a sealed and I'm like 89% sure I should be in B/G here but I just wanted to double check exact card choices: Nyx Lotus barely does anything here, you'd be better off with another 5/3, and Nessian Wanderer is really good and should be in your deck too, and I think I'd want the vanilla 4/3 since it's another enchantment? Not sure what I'd cut though, I haven't had a chance to play the format myself since Arena is such an unstable mess right now. Maybe the Charger and Setessan Training??

Jesus Grayara is hideous. It's an absurd amount of reach for two cards on the board, and it's going to be an absolute nightmare for any aggro deck to compete with.

After some testing I ended up with this for Black Devotion. Deck 20 Swamp (ELD) 261 4 Knight of the Ebon Legion (M20) 105 4 Cauldron Familiar (ELD) 81 2 Tymaret, Chosen from Death (THB) 119 4 Ayara, First of Locthwain (ELD) 75 4 Lazotep Reaver (WAR) 96 4 Murderous Rider (ELD) 97 2 Erebos, Bleak-Hearted (THB) 93 4 Gray Merchant of Asphodel (THB) 99 4 Nightmare Shepherd (THB) 108 4 Castle Locthwain (ELD) 241 4 Witch's Oven (ELD) 237 I tried Bolas's Citadel but it was too expensive/too late almost all of the time to matter, and the few games that went long where it'd have been really nice I just kept hitting Castle Lochtwain instead. Lazotep Reaver was a late swap in instead of the Fenlurkers; the dream of one-drop, Fenlurker, Ayara, Nightmare Shepard and then Gary basically never happens and losing the one B off the devotion seems worth it for getting better bodies. The testing was in low Platinum since I hadn't played much ladder after the reset; the deck seems to do well against Rakdos Knights/Aggro and Sacrifice, mostly due to holding removal for the angry T-Rex and hosing cats/having Ayara respectively. Gruul aggro is a pretty solid matchup but less favorable than Rakdos, and mono-Green and mono-Red beat this deck up and take its lunch money. RDW matches are probably better since I swapped the Fenlurkers out, but Big Green just gets bigger much faster than this deck does. I think this deck has potential but I'm definitely open to other ideas or tips from what people have been messing around with.

mono-white is exactly as i feared: it goldfishes at a ludicrous rate if it gets to go healer's hawk -> pridemate/daxos -> linden/heliod, but it absolutely falls apart if anything so much as looks at it and can't generate actual card advantage, just make very large creatures that don't protect themselves its interaction is actually not that bad, however, since giant killer is quite good and conclave tribunal is still a great catchall. also gods willing was in m20 and that is a sweet card even if it's not actually particularly powerful oh the deck can't ever beat cauldron familiar though so you want that 1 mana artifact in the sideboard and/or to splash black for kunoros and basically nothing else

Yeah I think you need to run black. And Hushbringer. And probably Dawn of Hope or whatever. You can probably stomp on rakdos knights and run enough enchantment removal to really gently caress with fires I guess? Core white cards feel like they were designed eight years ago and never updated.

Spiderdrake posted:Yeah I think you need to run black. And Hushbringer. See also about half the green cards. Some of them are absurd, and some of them, particularly the green intervention are just... wut?! E: I'm wondering about Krakens and associated stuff as a keyword to focus a deck around. It doesn't feel properly Tribal but Serpent of Yawning Depths is a ludicrously powerful finisher (suddenly my everything is unblockable, unless you immediately remove this), and Nadir Kraken can hold the board long enough to get it down, perhaps. thespaceinvader fucked around with this message at 11:05 on Jan 17, 2020 |

Nightmare Shepherd was a real MVP for me last night, it just feels unbeatable without removal in the mirror (there were a lot of mirrors). IDK how good this deck can be in the meta as hushbringer is so good against it.

I have way too few wildcards to work out what to do with them. There are so many things I want to try, but when each one costs a (four) wildcards, it's a lot to try to test when you only have single figures of each type except common. It feels like monoblack devotion is going to be first on the chopping block out of the gates, I'm genuinely not sure how you beat it other than pure creature removal, given that it only needs to get to turn 4 to start getting absurd amounts of drain without needing to attack or block. And it gets a 4/4 for 4 flyer into the bargain what on earth was the logic behind the pricing of that card when a 3/3 for 4 flyer with no other text is a very solid card.

So just letting you know but the previous mono black devotion deck had an Oko-level presence for something like six months. Also if you need WCs then don't blow them. You'll eventually be established and have all the cards to brew with. Granted I just put Stinging lionfish in a deck and beat the poo poo out of someone with Callaphe so I dunno I'm sketchy

Hey remember when I was like "you can hold control when you toss a lethal burn spell at someone's head and they'll have to stare at it until they decide to manually concede" and then some goon was like "well ackshully it's you who's the jerk because the concede option disappears in that condition"? Turns out he's wrong and those players were just stubborn assholes! The game removes the option symbol when someone swings in with guaranteed lethal, but not for a Full Control lethal Fling for 56. So suck it, I'm gonna keep doing my cool mic drop to people who bm me.

I'm considering just buying into monoblack devotion. It only costs 4 rare and 4 uncommon to get the important bits, and some of those are useful in other decks of mine anyway (Nightmare Shepherd feels like it will fit admirably into my Orzhov Knights Worthy/Corpse ping deck, for instance). Everything else can be sourced from Eldraine and earlier if necessary, and it's a super strong deck, but... IDK I want to gently caress with more interesting stuff. Worth noting that the code LevelUp still works if you haven't used it yet, to get some early Mastery pass ticks.

Just had the worst sealed ever, 4C goodstuff with poo poo like Kiora Bests the Sea God at the top-end, lots of good enchantments and multiple Lagonna-Band Storytellers. Went 0 - 3. Wouldn't even complain that much if I lost to greed, not getting my fixing or being overrun without early-drops and poo poo. But every single game I stalled poo poo out and never drew any of my good cards. Seriously two of the games went to me being <10 cards, and Kiora Bests the Sea God didn't even show up once. The third game my opponent just got a poo poo flier out and had counterspells for my couple removals while I didn't draw any of my 4 fliers for 8 turns and died. Worst part is, every single game I got my fixing in order fast (15 total lands + 2 amulets and 2 Caryatids so not super high on lands) and could play whatever I drew, and every game I got boots on the ground and clogged things with 2-drops and 3-drops in preparation for my bombs...no dice.

OK yeah monoblack devotion is going bonkers. And by devotion I mean Gray Merchant. Even when I don't draw Gary it's a really strong deck, just NIghtmare Shepherd on its own is extremely strong with the number of black cards that just don't care about being turned into a 1/1.

I really like that the client seems to know when it disconnects from the server now and gives you the option to reconnect. I used to drop and just have to guess that something went wrong when my opponent wasn't doing anything for a while, which was frustrating.
