As with literally every other format in magic, the best thing you can be doing in historic is going to be either Lurrus or Yorion.

Definitely not.

Jeskai bullshit is cleaning house in historic right now from what I'm seeing on Twitch and in game, but at least I got two people to concede today by throwing down an Ulamog so I'm happy with that.

Kayas ghostform doesn’t swing for 2, I’m ending this game on turn 4 with Benalish Marshall instead of playing a value pile in the field format.

Lurrus and bodyguard put decks relying on a sweeper, or trading off early, into bad positions. When you are in a matchup where you just need to race them before they go off, bodyguard is way better

Where's the list?

Jeez I'm seeing some real fuckin' cute players today in the top 1000.

One person used Oven+Firstborn+Ghostform to permanently steal my Priest of Forgotten Gods on their Turn 2.

Another person beat me with Mono Red Yorion. You read that correctly, they had Yorion as companion just to style on me that they could win with 80 red cards. Oh and with 80 cards he still had two Fervent Champs on turn 2.

edit: yes, foolish person, brazen borrower is a great idea when i have open mana and two alesids on board

It’s to trick people into keeping bad hands, although I guess they could also play an uncastable companion to style on people.

Neat. Now they just need to add that button to the Keep Opening Hand screen, because I have not memorized what every single companion does and sometimes I'd like to be able to look at them when deciding whether or not to mulligan.

If you want an extra angle of attack you can sneak in a few copies of Steel-Leaf in there.

Actually, Elfbol should be pretty good now with all the extra HA3 elves right?

I finally started playing mono black Lurrus seriously because all my daily goals were to play black cards and holy gently caress is Kaya's Ghostform on Lurrus just b-roke.

It's not that I didn't believe any of you it's just that seeing it happen and watching people either not know how to deal with it or just concede to it is pretty amazing.

One person tried to Banishing Light Lurrus and I laughed pretty hard when they realized it didn't work and then conceded :laugh:

Narset is a much better design than teferi imo, despite also being very strong (I still don't love it)

It's also a mono-white card, except way better than if it was a white card because white's rule-setting until Drannith Magistrate (or Smothering Tithe, if you count that?) was always symmetrical while blue also gets to set rules and only their opponents have to follow them.

If an opponent plays (or is forced to discard) all of their cards, try putting Kaya's Ghostform on Burglar Rat (or Fenlurker) and saccing it during their upkeep.

Then they can't play lands anymore :science:
