MTG Salvation

My faves so far are:
fierce Guardianship and the Mythos spells like Mythos of Brokkos. Overall I consider this set to be relatively weak (I might be wrong).


Do you guys think the triomes will go down in price? I am currently considering to pre-order them, but I am not sure yet.

Luminous Broodmoth seems amazing. Wrath protection and combo enabler (with persist).

I also like Verge Rangers as a way for white to get some card advantage (I play in smaller MP games where a 3/3 first strike is relevant).

Bastion of Remembrance is great as a tough to remove Zulaport Cutthroat.

I could see Surly Badgersaur do some work in some specific shells.

Fiend Artisan is full of synergy and is just huge for 2 mana in the right deck.

If you can take advantage of the companion mechanic it's really amazing too. Adds consistency and card advantage to all your decks for "free".

The Ozolith seems to have potential as a build around as well. Kind of like a colorless Reyhan, Last of the Abzan

Several of the companions are very interesting to me, especially Zirda, the Dawnwaker and Lurrus of the Dream-Den.

I'm interested in building a flash deck around Slitherwisp and Cunning Nightbonder.

Flourishing Fox and Drannith Stinger slot immediately into any cycling deck in their colors.

Eerie Ultimatum and Ruinous Ultimatum are great at the top end, and not quite as cheesy as Emergent Ultimatum in my opinion.

Quartzwood Crusher alongside Kaheera, the Orhpanguard make me want to take another look at beast tribal.

Some of the efficient-bodied mutate cards look like they have value as pump with upside. Growing things like Vault Skirge is kind of fun, but I'm more interested in mutating Cold-Eyed Selkie, Cephalid Constable, and Dreamstealer with Gemrazer, Otrimi, the Ever-Playful, and Sawtusk Demolisher.

Glademuse seems like a fun build-around, possibly slotting in the Slitherwisp flash deck if the color requirements could be accommodated.

Sea-Dasher Octopus and Ominous Seas in my sea monster deck for sure. Great cards!

Sharknado. I want to make multiple builds.

• Sharknado + Dance of the Manse
• Sharknado traditional monoblue control
• Weather cycling deck with Unpredictable Cyclone and Sharknado in. Most likely a bad deck
• Fires of Invention Sharknado Fires doesn't prevent cycling the sharknado.
• Extinction Event + Sharknado. Can exile odd creatures and keep the 4/4 flying shark. This would be just U/B sharknado deck basically.
• Just use sharknado in any random deck that casts noncreature spells really.

Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy and then tutor up Basalt Monolith for turn 3 wins.

I’m still wondering. But the release is postponed so there’s ample time.


How good is mutate?
Are those tripple lands worth the money?

Which cards do I like in my meta? (Ok. Don’t answer this one. But the other two are worthy of discussion.)

These I bought. As they are unique, fun, powerful and affordable...

• Manascape Refractor
  
• Nesting Grounds
  
• Extinction Event
  
• Verge Rangers
  
• Skycat Sovereign
  
• Quartzwood Crasher
  
• Back for More
  
• Titanoth Rex
  
• Whisper Squad
  
• Avenging Huntbonder

While there's plenty of great cards in the set I'm mostly excited about Serrated Scorpion, Whisper Squad and Bastion of Remembrance for various stax/drain/MBC builds. Very powerful cards at rock-bottom prices is always a win in my books.

Molten Echoes goes in a bunch of cool decks (most likely my Siege-Gang commander/Purphoros, God of the Forge deck).

Mythos of Illuna pops into blue Cloudpost decks nicely.

Bonder's Enclave goes into Eldrazi decks quite well as a great source of card advantage that can be tutored by Hour of Promise.

Hunted Nightmare might be a budget beater or a nice political tool.

Other nice cards include Primal Empathy, Auspicious Starrix, Offspring's Revenge.

This deck is a deck wich I play in standard. I do now plan to play it in my multiplayer group, where we play Vintage. It is also highly competitive and I am wondering how I could change things up a little bit.

The main question would be how to get the right mana early enough, I believe in vintage there are better possibilities than what standard can provide.

Also I'm going to incorporate some cards that I always play, like Demonic Tutor, Dark Ritual and stuff like that. How many Creatures with Mutate do you think are necessary?



What do you think?
