thespaceinvader posted:Agent definitely started getting bad in Theros with Simic Ramp and Thassa blinking it. a lil, I played thassa blink near the tail end of that format and it was... ok. It wasn’t too oppressive since you needed to actually play seven lands and then resolve a seven mana spell to get an agent

Naya Winota is a very, very good deck in bo3 Historic, arguably the very best deck in the format

Time posted:Only if you don’t want to use lurrus in game 2 Sedisp posted:I don't think removing your companion in a lurrus deck is worth a five five that implodes to hard removal. I think something is bugged here. I went to confirm this in Traditional Standard Play, and if I concede the first match, the game allows me to Sideboard in Gary and friends on Round 2 WITHOUT removing Lurrus as companion, which is how I thought it worked. HOWEVER when I put in the 4+ CMC cards and confirm... it seems to just ignore it. It shows them in the deck during Sideboarding but when Round 2 actually starts, all the cards I added aren't in the deck, and cards I removed playsets of are BACK in the deck. Extremely weird. Anyway, ruling says: quote:The requirements of the companion ability apply only to your starting deck. They do not apply to your sideboard. I took that to mean you can leave Lurrus as companion and sideboard in bigger permanents things without removing him. Or do they only mean that "starting deck" is the deck you start with each round, you can only Wish things into the game that don't fit the requirements?

If you do your sideboard and lock it in with a companion chosen and your deck doesn't fit the requirements it'll boot you back to your previous configuration.

No Wave posted:It actually is lol (especially for 4+ mana cards). It implies that however dominant it is now its winrate can drastically drop with deck adjustments that dont require running unrealistic maindeck cards. It's not a proof but it's certainly an argument. Saheeli Guardian was balanced, actually

If you think the qualifying event is bo1 because they care about that format and not because it means more slot machine pulls I have a bridge to sell you. There have been a total of exactly one restriction that has ever been targeted at bo1 and that was because they didn't have any mechanism in arena for looping nexus with no win cons

That 4c Winota deck has good highrolls but there's a tonne of fail cases including its extremely bad manabase. Arboreal Grazer does have very good highrolls in theory but it's often really awkward, it might be better off as Paradise Druid. It seems like the kind of deck which is good for grinding rank since you can knock out 5 games in 15 minutes but where it's incredibly unlikely you'll ever go 7-3.

Tezzeract posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Qu58muHI_8 I see his point but I still don't think Winota warrants a ban though. This is literally variance.dec Definitely jamming this on Day 1 for the Open though. Edit: Would recommend running 1-2 Kenrith in the list, otherwise you run a not insignificant chance of whiffing on the Winota trigger.

Has anyone played around with Unburial Rites in Historic? Seems like you can do some interesting stuff, there's enough self mill from Stitcher's Supplier, Glowspore Shaman and The Binding of the Titans to get some pretty hilarious turn 4s or even 3s. I'm trying out ulamog right now, but as big and strong as he is, he might not be the best reanimation target, since he doesn't do anything the turn he comes down and I have no real way to protect him from getting bounced, exiled or stolen. Dream Trawler and Agent are both probably better. Anybody have any other good reanimation targets? I was thinking something like Carnage Tyrant or Zetalpa or maybe Azor? Platinum Angel could be funny. here's my current deck: Deck 4 Unburial Rites (ISD) 122 4 Watery Grave (GRN) 259 4 Stitcher's Supplier (M19) 121 2 Mire Triton (THB) 105 2 Momentary Blink (TSP) 29 3 Glowspore Shaman (GRN) 173 1 Isolated Chapel (DAR) 241 3 Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger (BFZ) 15 4 The Binding of the Titans (THB) 166 3 Gilded Goose (ELD) 160 2 Dream Trawler (THB) 214 2 Titans' Nest (IKO) 212 2 Agent of Treachery (M20) 43 4 Temple Garden (GRN) 258 3 Llanowar Elves (DAR) 168 4 Godless Shrine (RNA) 248 4 Overgrown Tomb (GRN) 253 2 Woodland Cemetery (DAR) 248 4 Drowned Catacomb (XLN) 253 3 Thirst for Meaning (THB) 74 I haven't decided on a sideboard yet. Probably some number of Shifting Ceratops, maybe move the Momentary Blinks to the sideboard, and some targeted removal. Maybe some Brontodons to deal with Grafdigger's Cage or Leyline of the Void. Titan's Nest is basically just there so if I can conceivably hard-cast Ulamog or Agent if they're stuck in my hand. Edit: I went up against a couple other mill decks that cut out the green and just used that 0/4 merfolk, I like how The Binding of the Titans just kind of randomly hoses them. It also eats the occasional Uro or Kroxa which is nice. And sometimes it gives me a land when I'm 1 land off casting Rites. It may be slow, but it has some nice utility.

Sedisp posted:There have been a total of exactly one restriction that has ever been targeted at bo1 and that was because they didn't have any mechanism in arena for looping nexus with no win cons This isn't quite true. While there were other reasons for Nexus' ban in bo1, there is another precedent in that Rampaging Ferocidon was briefly unbanned in standard bo3 but not bo1 when M20 came out. This shows they're willing to consider bo1 and bo3 different formats, which is pretty much what they are, so good on them. However you feel about bo1, it is the most popular way to play arena and they're not going to let a deck that wins games based on its starting hand run around with an 80% winrate or whatever Brad Nelson's number was. They're not going to do that out of the goodness of their hearts, but because they need their human bots to not mass ragequit after they keep getting their 2nd land (and the 3rd and the 4th and the 5th) stolen.
