This is probably an impossible question to answer, but: If my primary colors I play with are green and red, would crafting four Rampaging Ferocidons in anticipation of historic be a good idea? I've been pretty disciplined with not crafting wildcards--especially knowing/figuring/hoping? dual lands are in Eldraine--but I don't want to be staring down the barrel of 8 rares for a potentially staple red creature a few weeks from now.

A Moose posted:I think if you're waiting for the meta to settle, it's already settled. Not much is going to change except for golos decks teching more and more for the mirror match, or decks looking to win specifically against Fires. If a new deck pops up, it'll probably just be 1 and it might just be good for 1 tournament, unless someone finds something that destroys Golos. I've played literally nothing but golos/fields the last 10ish matches in ranked. Think I'm done with ranked for the next 11 weeks, which is a real shame.

I know he's a fan favorite but I'm sick to loving death of seeing the Flpbthpthth avatars every other game. He's ugly as poo poo and it seems like everyone who has one plays like an rear end in a top hat. Really wish avatars could be turned off.

Fires of Invention may be my new favorite card. I've always fancied myself an aggro player--and still do--but it's so fun when you resolve a Fires and to go loving bananas. Fires--> Ritual of Soot or Fires--> Drawn from Dreams feels soooo good. For those upthread saying they feel like their Fires opponents always have it on turn four, I wish. But that's been part of the fun of playing it, trying to tune a deck that can survive long enough (or just win outright) to draw it. My main problem is I feel like I need to trim down my wish board and include more actual sideboard cards. As it stands my wishboard is 8 cards and my sideboard is just 4x Duresses and 3x Negates. Edit: may as well post my list, any input/feedback would be appreciated. Deck 4 Fires of Invention (ELD) 125 1 Mountain (RTR) 265 3 Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God (WAR) 207 3 Swamp (DAR) 258 3 Island (M19) 266 2 Chandra, Awakened Inferno (M20) 127 2 Liliana, Dreadhorde General (WAR) 97 3 Murderous Rider (ELD) 97 2 Noxious Grasp (M20) 110 3 Fae of Wishes (ELD) 44 4 Thought Erasure (GRN) 206 3 Drawn from Dreams (M20) 56 2 Ritual of Soot (GRN) 84 2 Enter the God-Eternals (WAR) 196 4 Narset, Parter of Veils (WAR) 61 4 Watery Grave (GRN) 259 3 Temple of Epiphany (M20) 253 3 Blood Crypt (RNA) 245 3 Steam Vents (GRN) 257 2 Fabled Passage (ELD) 244 2 Castle Vantress (ELD) 242 2 Dismal Backwater (M20) 245 Sideboard 1 Time Wipe (WAR) 223 1 Planewide Celebration (WAR) 172 4 Duress (M19) 94 1 The Elderspell (WAR) 89 1 Chandra, Awakened Inferno (M20) 127 1 Casualties of War (WAR) 187 3 Negate (RIX) 44 1 Drawn from Dreams (M20) 56 1 Epic Downfall (ELD) 85 1 Cavalier of Dawn (M20) 10 Judgy Fucker fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Nov 2, 2019 |

Puttered around gold 4 for about 2 weeks with gixis fires in trad standard, tried out trad historic last night with this mono G stompy pile and zoomed to platinum. Deck 4 Llanowar Elves (DAR) 168 20 Forest (DAR) 269 4 Lovestruck Beast (ELD) 165 4 Steel Leaf Champion (DAR) 182 2 Yorvo, Lord of Garenbrig (ELD) 185 3 Once Upon a Time (ELD) 169 4 Pelt Collector (GRN) 141 3 Paradise Druid (WAR) 171 3 The Great Henge (ELD) 161 3 Vivien, Arkbow Ranger (M20) 199 3 Questing Beast (ELD) 171 1 Karn's Bastion (WAR) 248 2 Burning-Tree Emissary (GTC) 216 2 Field of Ruin (XLN) 254 1 Ghalta, Primal Hunger (RIX) 130 1 Ghalta, Primal Hunger (RIX) 130 Sideboard 4 Veil of Summer (M20) 198 2 Naturalize (M19) 190 1 Vivien, Arkbow Ranger (M20) 199 3 Nullhide Ferox (GRN) 138 3 Shifting Ceratops (M20) 194 2 Vivien Reid (M19) 208 Would love any input. Sideboard probably needs work (I've used the feroxes but they still seem out of place). Karn's bastion seems cute with good synergy but I've literally never used it once for anything other than mana. Also, the trad historic meta seems WIDE open. Only decks I saw more than once were bant ramp (2-0) and golos fields (1-2). Saw a RDW that was pretty vicious but still pulled out the W.

Costs two mana instead of four. I've honestly never been a big fan of brontodon, I've always tried to find other ways to get rid of artifacts and enchantments. Four mana to blow up an enchantment or artifact just seems pretty pricey.

Fair enough, I will swap out the naturalizes for a couple brontodons and see how that works.

Because if/when I ever hit mythic for the first time and am proud of the deck I put together, I'd like a better response than than "cool deck bro, psyche" Like, it's not that hard to not be an rear end in a top hat. I'm done with my part of making GBS threads up the thread, just adding to the ignore list like I should've done posts ago and moving on.

Arglebargle III posted:I think mystical dispute was a flavor of the day, negate is probably the better sideboard cards for control matchup. Extremely niche, but dispute is much better for fires to get the fires off. Once it hits the board all counterspells are (mostly) dead, so might as well go with the one-cost over the two. Also good to gently caress T3feri when you're on the draw, considering a significant chunk of your mana base comes in tapped.

Cheen posted:Has anyone noticed that Historic tends to be the most diverse selection of decks to play against because there is no one tracking the meta? There is no MTG goldfish to look at what the pros are playing- there are historic decks to netdeck, but no way to determine tier level easily. Started playing with a mono(ish) green stompy after they released the anthology, zoomed from gold 4 to diamond 1 encountering a wide diversity of decks. Since the reset it's been all Gruul, Simic food and Field. Can't get out of gold.

qbert posted:It's a totally decent mechanic, it enourages people to try and build mono-colored decks around it. It also encourages playing cards that would never normally see Standard play simply because they cost BBB or whatever. Last time Theros was legal, the two best decks were Mono-B Devotion and Mono-U Devotion. Probably inferring way too much from one card, but the only spoiler we have so far with devotion is actually two colors. They might be pushing that instead this set? That definitely seems like a build-around card.

Having moderate success with this Azorious fliers deck in historic, but want to make it better. Unlike a bunch of other piles I throw together something about this feels right, so want to build on it. Not really aggro, but not quite midrange. Hushbringer probably needs to be in the sideboard, but fortunately it hasn't come up yet. Shalai has been great at neutering Settle the Wreckage. Thinking about cutting a land, but not sure about that. Thoughts? Any/all input would be greatly appreciated. Deck 4 Skymarcher Aspirant (RIX) 21 7 Plains (ANA) 56 2 Sephara, Sky's Blade (M20) 36 4 Siren Stormtamer (XLN) 79 7 Island (ANA) 57 4 Spectral Sailor (M20) 76 3 Conclave Tribunal (GRN) 6 4 Hallowed Fountain (RNA) 251 4 Winged Words (M20) 80 4 Empyrean Eagle (M20) 208 3 Chart a Course (XLN) 48 3 Unbreakable Formation (RNA) 29 4 Loyal Pegasus (M20) 28 4 Glacial Fortress (XLN) 255 3 Rally of Wings (WAR) 27 Sideboard 2 Shalai, Voice of Plenty (DAR) 35 4 Cerulean Drake (M20) 53 1 Unbreakable Formation (RNA) 29 2 Aether Gust (M20) 42 3 Spell Pierce (XLN) 81 3 Devout Decree (M20) 13

Concerned about nothing over 4 CMC except the rambling sentry, but I didn't see anything else that wasn't total garbage. The sentry itself is pretty feelbad, but maybe a good target for auras?

Thanks for the input, everyone. Seems like you three were on the same page, so here's the final. I knew the mana was bad, but was still unsure what to do. I'm pretty bad at drafting, and usually only do 1-2 a month. I got my free trad draft token and wanted to try a bo1 first before I wasted like 12 bucks worth of a free event. In hindsight Anax should've been an easy cut since my R devotion is pretty bad. Also, thanks a ton for the tip with the apathy + flare combo, I never would've seen that myself.

I'll be farming this event for daily wins today and weeklies tomorrow for sure.
