I think there's potential for a U/W skies midrange deck, but I'm not sure how to put it together. This is a list of the cards I'm considering: U/W sky 4x rattlchains 4x always watching X archangel of tithes X Vryn wingmare X scrapskin drake (???) X tower Geist (???) 4x thunderclap Wyvern 4x dragonlord ojutai 2x new Jace 2x Gideon X ojutai's command X anafenza Kin tree spirit X silk wrap X icefall regent (???) X silumgar's scorn X stasis snare 1x linvala X reflector Mage (????) X bygone bishop X declaration in stone X stitchwing skaab (???) X uninvited Geist I mean there's a lot of garbage cards here (I was just searching by set and finding all cards that fit the deck). But rattlechains, always watching, thunderclap Wyvern, and ojutai seems like a really good build around me package. It also gives you 8 anthem effects for your fliers, 4 of which are bodies. Some Gideon's add more anthems. Vryn wingmare seems okay. The removal package seems really good in the deck with silk wrap, snare, and declaration. Reflector mage is reflector Mage. Who has thoughts?

Cernunnos posted:Drop the Bygone Bishops for some maindeck counters and your probably set. A little disruption can go a long way and the Bishops just aren't good enough here IMO. Yeah I think I was just trying to get too cute with spirit synergy with the bishop. Counter package: dispel, negate, or silumgars scorn? Scorn has a way bigger theoretical upside, but I only have 4 dragons in the list? Ojutai's command? I think rattlechains is good enough to stay in the deck. It's good pressure early, and can be flashed in in response to an edict to protect an ojutai in lieu of counter spells

I'm currently testing with: 3x stratus dancer 4x rattlechains 3x Vryn wingmare 4x reflector Mage 4x thunderclap wyvern 3x archangel of tithes 3x dragonlord Ojutai 4x always watching 3x declaration in stone 3x stasis snare 2x Gideon, ally of zenikar 4x port town 4x prairie stream 1x rogues passage 8x plains 7x island Considering the following: - adding Ojutai number 4 - cutting Gideon for negate Still needs more testing, but it's super fun. Sideboard contains negates and board wipes right now. Edit: I feel like this is the deck that wants tragic arrogance as its sweeper. Board wiping but leaving an always watching and an ojutai on your side of the board feels pretty good. Mezzanon fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Apr 13, 2016 |

TheLawinator posted:My suggestion is that black is only going to slow you down in a format that is extremely fast. Drop every black card, go for speed beyond anything, and if it's legal jam 3 red elemental blast in your board to go with pyroblast. It's basically going to be high tide/delver and monoblack as your main opponents, so gear for that. Legal goblin grenade, gently caress yeah just go mono red.

Soul Glo posted:Okay. Well. Yeah, upgrading that Atarka Red deck would cost me more than I'm willing to part with to get into a format I'm not sure I'll have lots of games for. I think I've found another Aggro deck that I'm missing all of three (playsets) for. Cut 4 wild slash for 4 goblin bushwhacker for the 8 whack route.

R/U fliers is such a loving fun deck to play, thank you Saito.

Haven't played standard in about two months. Before that I was on a u/w fliers/spirits brew and Saito's r/u fliers list. Did spell queller make u/w spirits into a real deck? Are there any insane tempo decks like the R/Ufliers list right now? I am open to advice on weird niche decks like those two! For standard.

Turns out I have all the cards for Bant Company, should I just bite the bullet and play it for the few remaining weeks until rotation? I've been trying for so long to avoid it, but I just want to smash out some Spell Quellers and go hog wild. OR should I brew up a jeskai spirits/fevered visions wombo combo deck? Because that seems super tempting (just the U/W spirits tempo shell with fevered visions and some burn)

Elyv posted:You can play the best deck in the format for free and haven't played it yet? Why not, it seems like a fun time at least once. If it turns out not to be a fun time, you can shelve it. I was on Saito's R/U fliers list before Eldritch Moon came out, and G/B aristocrats before that. But I haven't even had time for a casual game in the last 2 months since I've been working 70 hours a week across my three jobs. But I mean, if I find some standard time I think I'll definitely give company a quick FNM or two. Then once CoCo rotates out I can go back to playing weird spirit tribal all day erryday.

Cross posting from the regular magic thread because somebody asked for the list over there, but here's the standard deck I've been testing: Testing this in standard: Jesky flash: Creatures: 4x Mausoleum Wanderer 4x Rattlechains 4x Selfless Spirit 4x Dimensional Infiltrator 4x Spell Queller /20 Spells: 4x Harnessed Lightning 2x Unsubstantiate 4x Spell Shrivel 4x Fevered Visions 3x Stasis Snare /17 Land: 3x Inspiring Vantage 2x Port Town 3x Prairie Stream 2x Evolving Wilds 3x Spirebluff Canal 4x Wandering Fumarole 3x Aether Hub 1x Plains 1x Island 1x Mountain /23 Sideboard: 4x Goblin Dark-Dwellers 4x Negate 3x Galvanic Bombardment 2x Summary Dismissal 2x Lunar Force /15 Thoughts: Main deck: - mana base may need some tinkering, open to suggestions - unsubstantiate might go to the main to be replaced with burn that can go to the face (maybe) - maybe cut two cards for finishers? Goodnight castigator was in the original version. Maybe 2x the 4 mana dragon? Sideboard: - maybe cut some dank memers for more spells ?????? - lunar force should be cut for literally anything because it's a bad card (but I love it) - should probably find room for 2x fumigate Deck is still not great against Aggro. But it's very good against control and marvel and midrange decks. Will take any advice
