anyone tried manamorphose? I've playtested and it seems so powerful. delirium comes online faster and I've got down to 18 lands. And traverse the ulvenwald its more a tutor than land search. its more consistent and find cards I need. but also hard to play, sometimes its right and wrong to play manamorphose early. fights blood moon too on a pinch, so I took out plains. also don't play path to exile, I play cast down or go for the throat. Mardu is good matchup because of trample creatures, and sideboard cards can come online consistently.
Has anyone tried running brain maggots in this style of deck?
the discard effect is disruptive, admittedly the body is small, but if the creature dies it adds the enchantment to the GY. This can help make goyfs and flayers stronger, and the discard effect can be recurred with Lilliana the last hope.
I say brain maggot over similar cards like kite sail freebooter and tidehollow sculler. sculler would make the manabase have to supply white mana by turn two, but it has a bigger body and provides artifact in the GY. Kitesail freebooter has flying which is nice, is as easy to cast as maggot, but because it doesn’t put a unique type into the GY I don’t think this would make the cut.
Just wondering if anyone had tried it out.
I know I'm going to catch a lot of grief on this but this is the deck that I want to run this weekend. I know all the things people are going to say but I just can't help myself. This is what I want to do so I'm going to do it.
And yes I know I'm running 3x Rhinos and I should be running 2 or none (especially with Bobs).
I know Doran doesn't look great here and probably shouldn't be played.
The one path seems out of place.
there's only 2 Thoughtseize.... blah blah blah.
I get it. I am aware of all the things wrong here. I just want to do all this stuff again. It all just looks too fun and I'm super greedy. I don't mind giving up wins at an FNM just to cast my Rhinos again
could work. Rhino pass the Jace test and rhino is big enough to block BBE. the problem is how relevant is Rhino's Lightning Helix.
whats everyone's thoughts regarding Liliana the Veil vs Liliana the Last Hope regarding Human's matchup. Liliana the last hope seem like a great idea in paper because of lots of x/1 creatures but doesn't happen too much in practice. seem like Liliana of the Veil is better.
this list are great. the rock list is like the one played in modern superleague by paul cheon. and the abzan i really like coz its reid list and won gp lyon too. i like pithing needle right now. gud against tron and jace matchups. could even run in jund decks. but right now prefer abzan coz stony is really gud.
any know whats the last sideboard card in his list? coz its incomplete. 14 sideboard cards.
isn't tidehollow sculler better?
