Funkdreamer posted:People used to bring their Temur Rec decks into Unranked so they wouldn't get trounced by all the aggro in Bo1 Ranked, and I had fun snapping off wins with mill. Mind you, this was before Uro. You know what I haven't seen anyone cast in all this time of post-M21, is Sparkhunter Masticore. Ugin can't kill it, it eats Planeswalkers, and it can't even be wrathed if you leave mana up for it. Is there any competitive BO1 deck that can run them? Maybe some kind of mutate?

You need to hold up 3 mana to let it be indestructible. That is a lot for most decks. If I find it in a pack I would run it in UW control as an alternative to Dream Trawler.

VictualSquid posted:Interesting take. I felt like BW is the strongest, getting two 5/5 fliers by turn 3 is pretty strong. Especially if you follow it up by getting another one every turn you can dominate pretty solidly. Cycling deck is poo poo because it has twice as many lands as it should so you just get mana-flooded as your 4/4 fox watches archfiends fly over your head for lethal.

If you do 40 runs, you'll have a 98% chance of finding any given mythic-theme land. (Assuming the same distribution as in paper). If you're only interested in one special land of each colour, and don't care which one it is, then you probably only need to do like three runs if you're careful with what you pick.

I'm playing a Transmogrify deck, and my play of the day was just using Transmogrify on an opponent's creature, to win a game. That must be some kind of achievement.

Am I totally insane and offbase for thinking they might just reprint Shocklands in Zendiakar for September? Standard without them is gonna be, uh, like super slow and even rampier without at least the mana we have now, and it would be cool if more 2-color aggro decks were viable with even better mana, but at least shocks would be cool. Then again with temples having just been reprinted I doubt they would give us the exact same standard mana base for the next 2 years as the last two years. Are we supposed to lean really hard into Triomes and run Triomes in 2-color decks with an ugly and aesthetically off color! DISGUSTING! I will barf!

I feel pretty strongly that shocks are too tied to Ravnica's setting. Also, they're strong enough that you want them rotating out every couple of years just for variety. I'm sure the 2026 fall set will be Ravnica 4 or whatever and they'll make a triumphant return.

they could also put them in core sets because those have reprints from all the settings. that said, even if the next set of lands is great, mana is going to be trash for aggro regardless because the other land options to pair with them arent good for trying to curve out. its going to take like 4 sets assuming they do 5 different duals in each one

Drewjitsu posted:I'm curious how the games went. Was it tome anima beatdown as predicted? Did you mill people out? The final boss was both of us hitting Tutelage on curve, but I went first and the Thrills hit them harder. It won me another game, and my one loss was hitting it on curve but they had some ridiculous counter acceleration and I couldn't recover. Anima helped close out the rest, but Immolater did some work too. Looking at the deck on a little confused on how I got to 7, but I probably had some soft matchups because my limited rank is trash right now. Big fan of Traitorous Greed in UR.

Traitorous greed is generally pretty good in this format IMO, it's not somethign your should necessarily pass up just ebcause you don't have sac outlets. It's a very aggressive format, and being able to take control of a key blocker and swing with it even for just one turn can be enough to get you over the line. Not to mention that one of the best sac outlets in the format is also monored (Hobblefiend) and common, so picking up an early Greed can easily enough translate into being able to just feed a key creature to the Hobblefiend.

-Slag -Protege -Cancel -Read the Tides -Shock +Bolt Hound +Turret Ogre +2 Frantic Inventory Most games should be over before you get to 6 mana so I don't see Read the Tides being cast. This sort of deck really wants cantrips for consistency and prowess fuel, and 2 Frantics is fine. Alternatively, you can keep the 5th Shock, leave Frantics out, and put in another Lofty or Burn Bright.

Yeah, you're right. Was thinking the deck needed more ways to push damage through but Burn Bright is likely going to be worse than another spell a lot of the time. e:beaten ELD premier draft 7/24-7/31 DOM premier draft 7/31-8/14 wei fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Jul 15, 2020 |

So, Amonkhet remastered is a historic-only rerelease? Shame about the workshops, I liked having a free reward once a week. The events were largely garbage though and I'm assuming they've seen most people just playing until they get a win then stopping...
