Alright I'll have to try and figure out a deck then

E: any general advice for decks that are reasonably affordable (I mean I only have 3 mythic and 7 rare wildcards) and, for lack of a better word when talking budget decks, janky? Nothing based on winning with creatures basically, whether it's red aggro or green big dudes or whatever.

I made Mono Blue Tempo. It’s pretty powerful and cheap in wildcards.

Mono black is definetly off meta, but it has been pretty good for me this last week with all the aggro running around. I've been using a mono black list to grind 7 wins in Bo1 with great results. If Jeskai control rises in popularity due to the GP results then I don't know how viable it will remain.

I’d like to see what you are running!

Reprint DRS and Snapcaster next set. I played the blue SnapDelver deck when that was standard. 2009?2010?

:same:

It was also my first short term competitive experience and I was floored when I saw the prices of Scars/INN block cards when I started up again last year. I though I was smart for cashing out before I quit.

Modern was also just getting started and I was able to sell most of a Soul Sisters deck for a penny last year.

If I'm gonna drop $100 on this game now (only gotten the $5 starter before this) what's the best way to spend my gems? I'm pretty bad at limited and usually spend all my gold on straight packs and CE. What has everyone else who put money into this game been spending it on?

I enjoy drafting so I spend all my gems of drafts and all my gold on packs.

It gets kind of canceled out if you're both running it though. I thought about running niv, but have no way of protecting him. I don't know why I'm not running Expansion/Explosion though, that seems good.

I agree on them getting canceled but I've yet to see them in the mirror. Most times I cast it they just concede. Niv is fun because you can combo it off guild summit by drawing twenty cards but now that you mention it Ex//Ex sounds more reliable and way less triggers.

I've been playing esper midrange and this thing is straight gas

armed with Wyatt Darby's sideboarding guide I have yet to queue into a matchup that truely felt unwinnable

its one of those decks where you just have to sequence very carefully and draw the right cards in the right order but thanks to your pile of surveil and the sheer power of your cards you have some level of control over it

I’m 5 pages late and it may have already been posted and I might find it as I catch up but do you have the guide available?

Hey gang, listen I know everyone loves planeswalkers and poo poo, but holy gently caress Bolas Citadel is insanely fun. It's just like if Experimental Frenzy also made spells free. You usually need to play it and pass, and you need to have some way to manipulate your top card with explorers in hand or a planeswalker in play... but playing 15 cards in a turn, swinging for 20, then sacing your board to deal 10 more on turn 5-6 is really, really good, and it's an artifact which is the least expected and hardest to kill thing in the format right now.

I would love to see this list. I love janky poo poo. Played the gently caress out of Omniscience pre WAR

Oh man. I just lost against a WB Command the Dreadhorde deck. It was running stichers supplier, chamber sentry, ugin's conjurant, midnight reaper. He jacked my explore package out from underneath me after wrathing it. I almost milled him by dropping a massacre girl on his board full of suppliers and reapers. I lost when he Commanded back all of his X creature spells along with a vindictive vampire. Has anyone seen that list floating around?

Love seeing 15 Risen Reef triggers

Just let me attack with my angels so I can complete this quest, please

Edit nope they cast Omnath three times for 28 damage, great'

Every game I can barely tick up this attack counter by one or two because either I get totally ransacked or the game immediately stalls out after turn 2 and the moment I can attack again they perceive a disadvantage and scoop

Last time stalled on that quest I tossed together a Cavalcade deck and win or loose, cleared the quest in short order.

I just got styled on by someone running Flood of Tears + Omniscience. It owned and I would love to play it, but I'm not about to spend a bunch of mythic wildcards on rotating stuff.

I love this deck and can’t really play it because the client is loving garbage (mlmp) and lags and stutters with any decent sized board. Same with Storm and even Dreadhorde. I own a 2070 laptop and tried running the game at low settings. Still sucks.

Also if you've got a stack of tokens, when you assign them to attack you don't have to do it one-by-one, you can keep clicking the stack and it splits off tokens and puts them in a new stack.

I also read that you can click the number on your token stack and then the number on the opponents stack and it will auto set your stack to block theirs.
