kater posted:Huh, I never made a field of dead deck so I've never paid attention to Golos besides the activate. That boy is just a neutral Cavalier. I want to put it into every deck. Yeah I didn't understand Golos until I played him in Autumn's FoD deck. On my first activation I got Lil Teffrey and Veil of Summer against a Simic Flash deck. They snap conceded after trying to counter the Teferi, it was perfect. Golos owns.

A Moose posted:The golos deck is definitely the most fun, but it loses to cavalcade 100% of the time, its not even close. It does beat everything else, but since 90% of game 2's are against cavalcade, its an awful choice for this event. I went a pretty easy 2-0 with it, beating a cavalcade deck on the way. Once they empty their hand and you cast Gates Ablaze their deck does literally nothing.

Y'all being way too credulous of WotC. Events to give us the new cards - yeah just like the events to make up for XP that people spent pages ITT complaining about. And why the hell would you develop a new format to intentionally exclude players? Ah yes a growing and active playerbase - a common problem that games are trying to solve.

Sinteres posted:Just beat the event for the 38th time and now I'm done with this stupid poo poo. Honestly, feeling like there were some stakes involved in the games was kind of fun, and seeing a number of different decks I hadn't seen before was cool (if I really hated it, I obviously would have either spent $10 for the levels or said gently caress it), but it's still kind of a relief to be done so I can just play more casually and/or draft until Eldraine. Dude, that's pretty insane to grind them all out in a row. What deck did you have most success with?

Shooting Blanks posted:My understanding is that the first event lasts 5 days and is exactly the same as the later 36 hour event that has actual rewards - it's there specifically to brew and test. Now, it may be worth setting up a dummy account just to test your brews in the real event in case the meta changes in that period, but otherwise you've got plenty of time to test out any deck you want. You can only enter both events once. Anyway seems like a good opportunity to create a bunch of dummy accounts, hopefully hit 12 wins on one of them and boom you have a complete standard collection for free. Also I'm glad they're added another XP code and made the event rewards better, I can probably finish the mastery pass now.

Where are you getting your tier evaluations from? I don't think yarok field is a deck at the moment. I would instead craft the golos field deck that just took 1st place at fandom casters cup. And if you're really concerned about wildcards I'd wait for the meta to settle.

Shooting Blanks posted:I'm still torn on what to put together for the event this weekend. Simic with Oko/Wolf/Krasis/Goose seems really gross, but I also get the feeling it's going to be played a lot and people will have figured out a way to beat it by then (or they already have and are just holding back so as not to decrease their chances of a 12 win streak). FWIW old mate played Manse Dance Revolution specifically because they thought food decks would be prominent and he won fandom legends. Not sure the meta is still the same. The food package is still top tier.

For the jank lovers, Mengu was playing this mono blue self mill Phoenix deck https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/2361609#paper It sucked but it's pretty cool. The goal is to mill yourself and between the 4 pheonixs and 4 creeping chills you should setup lethal around turn 5. Rei Sato was also playing a similar deck but I don't have the list. Edit: I might give it a go if I have all the cards, definitely not worth crafting. salt shakeup fucked around with this message at 07:00 on Oct 10, 2019 |

Tectonic Rift also prevents them from blocking so you can sneak in lethal. However I don't know if that's worth running the wish package. Agent is great in the mirror and also other matchups like Fires. Anyway to have some fun I've been playing the Rakdos Aristocats deck, give it a try if you're bored of fields. https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/2307348#paper

Kawabata posted:You make fun of this like it's nothing, but veteran players will mess this up in Tournaments too. Back when monou was tier 1 or close you could go and watch Shahar's or Caleb's streams where they would often discuss, well, when you should play a creature and when you should counterspell. Which wasn't obvious at all, even for them. Wow, a streamer had to discuss a play they were making? This deck sounds insane.

Yay they banned Field to the suprise of no one, except that guy who said it was most likely a Brawl ban. Interesting to see how the meta shakes up after this... Standard will be interesting again. Time to climb the ladder with Golos before it's banned

For those who missed it - WotC have created a new non-rotating format for paper and MTGO https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/announcing-pioneer-format-2019-10-21?c Insurrectionist posted:Making Pioneer so soon after making Historic would be a strange move at the best of times. Doing so while also completely neglecting Historic to the point of absurdity just feels like they're admitting Arena is gonna stay the 'standard and lovely sealed/draft variants' platform for the foreseeable future. Yeah Historic is a token format and nothing more .Like just LOL at this: quote:But there's a gap. A sizeable one. The oldest Modern set came out in 2003—sixteen years ago. And now that Modern's card pool is this large, it no longer serves the needed role of "format where you can use your Standard cards after rotation." salt shakeup fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Oct 22, 2019 |

The only way to get back at someone spamming Oops is to beat them and win the game, when that's not possible just concede. By roping you are proving that you are steaming mad, which is what they are trying to accomplish by spamming Oops.

The attacker is blocked, so they don't get through. Then the blocker is removed, but that doesn't change the fact the attacker was blocked. Note if the attacker has trample, then all the damage goes through (which is probably what you are expecting)

For what it's worth someone in the other thread said they play tested Oko and he's a lot different now. It wouldn't surprise me if it was a skullclamp style mistake where they changd the numbers late into the piece and nobody tested it. In any case I'm looking forward to the article discussing it. Skullclamp article, good reading.
