I've played tje BWR mardu midrange deck, I'm thinking about trying this one. I already played it once with pack rat. Right now, is there a good version of this deck without dark confidant's? I'm kind of on a budget. ahah
Hey, thanks for you help.
Well, this is my first time at this store so I really don't know what I'm up against. Drown in sorrow is good against affinity and tokens imo. The thing is I only have 2x stony silence right now. I have more zealous persecution though.
Hey guys, I'm planning on taking this deck to a FNM. What do you think about the deck and sideboard? I know I'm missing a few cards but hopefully I'll do ok.
The main advantage BG has over this deck is tarmogoyf and abrupt decay. Like I said, there are lots of benefits from white, path to exile, and lots of utility cards.
According to tournament results, BG has more wins than this deck, but people using this deck have also won PTQ's and other tournaments. And there is always the tendency that people have to copy other decks, normally players don't even try to make their own deck, they copy and paste decks from tournaments and use them. There aren't lot of people trying new decks. When they do, decks like deadguy ale appears.
Either way, the Bobs and lilianas you're going to have to get anyway. You might as well try get the white cards and try this deck. If you don't do well with it you can easily trade them away and then buy the goyfs and abrupt decays.
Has anyone had decent tournament results lately? I was debating on building this or BG rock. I dont have any modern cards reaally so I'll be buying most of the cards so I don't wanna build a deck I can barely do well at events with.
The advantage this deck has over BG rock is the excelent utility and sideboard cards white colors provide and the price tag. If you have 800$ and are willing to spend them on tarmogoyf, please go ahead. Otherwise stick to this build, get your dark confidant and liliana of the veil and spend the 800$ on something else. You can always "upgrade" the deck with goyfs when they get reprinted and stop being ridiculously expensive.
Its worth to splash U just for TC? Since i dont have Bob maybe something like this?
As I said before, the advantage this deck has over others is the consistent mana base. Adding blue for treasure cruise won't help. A red or green splash is way more profitable.
But running two colors is much more consistent.
Than I agree with you, also jotun grunt is good against tarmogoyf.
What do you guys think of high priest of pennance? He seems to be a value card, most of the times he gets rid of something when he dies, and he can sometimes be a sort of "unblockable" creature.
I'd rather play dig through time than treasure cruise.
Unfortunately, there are too many things that get o'ring. It's dangerous to take the oponnents best card with it. They can destroy it at the end of our turn and go for the win. Utter end might be better.
I don't think splashing blue for treasure cruise is good at all. Better than dark confidant? I don't think so. It's most of the times not even better than a divination. You have to delve 5 cards for it to be better than divination.
Not to say that one of this deck's strengths is the mana base, splashing blue would not help.
