  • posted a message on Best Jeskai and Abzan decks from when the Tarkir block was legal?
    looking for the best deck lists for these two types from when Tarkir was still centerstage.
    would be great if any lists had mantis rider or siege rhino

    thanks for any help!

  • posted a message on Best decks ever legal in Standard? (not including broken cards that were banned)
    hey, i'm not really a friday night magic guy, I usually just build great decks at home and save them for when friends are over. As such, I dont really worry about whats legal or not, so any deck that has been legal before is what I'm looking for.

    Preferably for now the best Tarkir block Jeskai and Abzan decks, including mantis rider and siege rhino.

    I would also like a good Theros/Phyryxia block deck to build, if there are any that include god cards. Just anything with the ancient Greece theme.

    Thanks for any help!

    I realized I had an extra spot so I added another Bruna to make that late game plan more likely. Given my deck is mostly Aggro, do you think I could get away with 22-23 lands and add more to my strategy or do I have too many 2-3 drops for that to work? If so I might add an extra 1 drop of inspector and And envoy each. given I'm splashing black ATM, how should I set up my land layout? And is 4 westvale abbeys worth it?

    Ok, so I split my one drop creatures between Thraben Inspector and expedition envoy for versatility, added an extra collective effort and 2 Zulaport cutthroats given how vulnerable my deck is to board wipes. Thanks for the help!

    Ok I see what you're saying, I'll remove my blue additions. So maybe then I'll add another expedition envoy for an additional 1 drop.

    What should I add for the last 3 do you think? More removal spells (grasp is good but any others you know of that could be useful. Mind rot or transgress the mind)? More authorities? Maybe potentially add Sorin?

    Haha thanks, that's probably what I wasn't doing wrong. Any advice for the deck content?

    Let's see if this works

    <cs>
    2 Thalia, Heretic Healer
    4 Thalia's liutenant
    3 Drana, Lib of Malakir
    1 march from the tomb
    2 dramatic reversal
    2 invocation of St. Traft
    1 Authority of the Consuls
    3 Gideon, Ally of Z
    1 Odric, Lunarch Marshall
    2 grasp of darkness
    2 always watching
    2 collective effort
    2 Gisela, Br Blade
    1 Bruna, Fading light
    3 Makindi Patrol
    3 expedition envoy
    2 kor bladewhirl
    4 allied encampment
    3 westvale abbey
    Still figuring out the rest

    Hey first time on the board and first time trying to get into standard (I just play for fun with coworkers usually but they're really into it so im trying to be) and looking for advice on a deck I built

    I don't know terms very well yet, so I'm just going to list the cards and you'll probably see what I did:

    2 Thalia, Heretic Healer
    4 Thalia's liutenant
    3 Drana, Lib of Malakir
    1 march from the tomb
    2 dramatic reversal
    2 invocation of St. Traft
    1 Authority of the Consuls
    3 Gideon, Ally of Z
    1 Odric, Lunarch Marshall
    2 grasp of darkness
    2 always watching
    2 collective effort
    2 Gisela, Br Blade
    1 Bruna, Fading light
    3 Makindi Patrol
    3 expedition envoy
    2 kor bladewhirl

    Lands:
    4 allied encampment
    3 westvale abbey
    Still figuring out the rest

    First standard deck I've built so if its terrrible then let me know, if you have recommendations to switch out some cards for something better then that'd be great
