TheMaestroso posted:TBF, I wouldn't try to do that against a deck like Cavalcade or Rakdos, that seems like a bad idea. Stomp (Bonecrusher Giant) would be a good substitution against those low-to-the-ground aggro decks. Stomp is a solid wincon for a multi-Clover Adventure deck. That's what it was when I went against it. pointsofdata posted:I think the mono black cat deck is fun because while it is creature based, you're not really that into attacking or real blocking so it feels like you're playing on a different axis to your opponent. It's basically creature-based control, you want to keep them from disrupting your catfood party too badly but you have little trouble letting them kill your creatures. Now I want to see if I can make a Yarok Aristocats deck work.

Bust Rodd posted:Let me respond to this by asking “what do you think the manabase for this even looks like right now?” I love Esper Dance, its really powerful after turn 4 and has good synergies. It's probably the only deck that can reliably play wishclaw talisman, too, and that's pretty huge. Tutoring planar cleansing and then bringing back the claw with dance won me a game that I was so behind in.

I’m betting it uses once upon a time to get a free spell, then two single cmc things to go to town. That’s a cool concept

Went 1-4 in my last session with Kiora Henge, I guess my window to thrive was a scant 36 hours. Seeing it from the other side, Wicked Wolf seems incredibly powerful with goose / Oko backup. It wouldn't proc Kiora's passive but it still might be worth it, maybe over Nullhide Ferox. Also Feasting Troll King isn't a legendary, whoa

Sex Weirdo posted:Here's a monogreen that I made that does pretty well, but I would like some suggestions for improvements. I only started playing Magic like a month ago. For a beginner deck this is pretty good tbh. I would drop the Return to Nature, the Might of the Masses and the Mammoth. Those are the weakest cards in the deck. Everything else is either good by itself (most of the rares) or at least synergizes with your best cards (the wolves go well together, evolution sage goes well with counters, etc). As for what to add, that depends on your collection tbh. You could add more food stuff to go with the troll (the new land that makes a food token is an easy insert into a monogreen deck). You could play token-making cards and put might of the masses back in. Bond of Flourishing is uncommon and helps you find your big bombs. Thrashing Brontodon is uncommon and disrupts people reliant on artifact/enchantments strategies. Lots of ways you could go.

AngryBooch posted:Arclight Phoenix? Gruul Arclight Phoenix? What the hell? List? Very much a rough draft, slapped this together with the first cards that came to mind after getting beat up by it. dunno that itll ever be that good because the card draw options are so limited in gruul, but it absolutely can pop off 4 Merchant of the Vale (ELD) 131 9 Forest (ELD) 269 4 Edgewall Innkeeper (ELD) 151 9 Mountain (ELD) 265 4 Rosethorn Acolyte (ELD) 174 4 Lovestruck Beast (ELD) 165 4 Thrill of Possibility (ELD) 146 4 Arclight Phoenix (GRN) 91 4 Shock (M20) 160 4 Stomping Ground (RNA) 259 4 Once Upon a Time (ELD) 169 3 Lucky Clover (ELD) 226 3 Bonecrusher Giant (ELD) 115 The inkeeper and lucky clover are better engines than you'd think, but the deck loses when it fizzles on card draw. Sometimes you just win on the back of the 5/5 beasts and 4/3 giants without ever getting a phoenix into play, especially if you are doubling up their adventures. Time posted:I’m betting it uses once upon a time to get a free spell, then two single cmc things to go to town. That’s a cool concept Yeah, thats how it gets there on T2 - once upon a time -> rosethorn acolyte -> haggle You could theoretically get double T2 phoenix with the nut draw. The interaction that is awesome but not obvious is lucky clover into the Rosethorn Acolyte adventure Seasonal Ritual - turns G into 2 mana of any color and can help accelerate starting on T3 Squinky v2.0 fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Sep 29, 2019 |

I took out Return to Nature, Aggressive Mammoth and 1x Might of the Masses and added another Nightpack Ambusher, Questing Beast and Evolution Sage. Feels pretty good so far! I'm thinking about swapping out 4-6 lands with black/green duals and adding in 1 or 2 Garruk Cursed Huntsman (removing the other Might of the Masses and maybe a Kraul Harpooner). Bad idea? It would be a good way to slam out more wolves and the removal is good too. edit: What the hell, I went ahead and did it.

Oko, Fabled Passage, Questing Beasts are all easy crafts, right? I have 25 rares and ~15 mythics and I'm wondering if I just go all in on Simic/Bant food this cycle. I could technically go Rakdos B/R knights too but just hasn't felt as good.

On that note Gilded Goose is definitely a far honk from Elvish Mystic / Birds of Paradise in constructed but holy poo poo is it ever amazing in limited. How are people liking Robber of the Rich? I've seen it once. It exiled an egg from the top of my library while playing dancer. Opponent did not win that game.

I swear to god I hit land >50% of the time. Confirmation bias/bad luck aside, it seems okay but not amazing, and I think it's a big part of my play/draw winrate disparity. On the draw it's a lot harder to get it to fire. Probably better in BO3 where you can board it out on the draw. It makes for a great removal magnet before Rotting Reggie comes down though

It's no thief of sanity but it can be pretty good in aggro decks where you're dumping your hand into low cost stuff so it goes off a lot. On the first day I made one of the rakdos aggro decks with it and while it sometimes just dies, it can be a good threat. It also helps that it doesn't have to do damage to let you cast cards it exiled on previous turns. If there's something useful sitting there it can be worth a suicidal attack with it just to be able to play whatever it is. I think overall it's pretty well balanced because it's situational.

After hetting into Magic via mostly youtube videos on commander having a sacrifice outlet, even if requiring tapping, in the cat oven deck is like an eye opening event. More sacrifice outlets please i love putting my cats in front of lifelinkers and then saccing them before damage so they get no life. Cavalier of Night and Dreadhorde Invasion are ridiculous too. Using Cavalier to sac a token or a Yarok and then when it dies bringing Yarok back is some vicious recursion and then using witches huts to put it back on top. I fully expect graveyard hate to come in soon woth more people running Ashiok. Or hell run Ashiok yourself as its a threat to your opponents.
