Yeah not going to lie, very disappointed. I know myself and others here who say that will get flamed for hating flavor and being too focused on standard but whatever. You know it's sad that when, out of 70+ cards, "Black Cat" looks the coolest.
P.S. Drogskol captain in a format already coming to be dominated by UW tokens... WTH was wizards thinking???
yeah because they just built the set in the past two months? you realize this set has been done probably at least for three months now. They had no way of knowing UW would get this big.
Praetors grasp is fairly good against decks like flare anyways since you just straight up remove the threat. If you can play it then cool. If not ok too. 3mana pre-emptive removal. Not saying you should play it but it can be effective
I like the chandra over liliana for two reasons...1 being finances which is a personal thing and the other being able to use her reverberate on a volt charge...i know its probably a slim interaction at best but seems really powerful when you consider the poison counters and tumble magnet. I was also thinking Shrine of Limitless Power for the last 2 SB slots since it could be good but then i realize it just seems bad
Has anyone giving any thought to running and testing with Kibler's new BR Infect deck? I've done some thought and made a few changes mostly putting in Chandras main instead of liliana.
um not to be a storyline hound but 99% of the thran world doesnt get blown thran is DOMAnAria unless you are trying to tell me domanaria is a 1% piece of land now but it still have multiple continents?
OK here we go. Me and some friends we just goofing off getting ready for a general FNM tournament one day and i was like hey im playing kumano and kodama of the north tree together. As i was going through removal spells for the deck i thought about the rampantness of Black Hand in my area and the amount of Raging-Oni Slaves. So i decided to add consuming vortex and that is where the blue came in. The first night i won the whole thing out of 32 people so i figured what the heck, im keeping the deck. Since then i have placed top 4 in every tournament since then(about 10). The deck has suprisingly good game against aggro and combo crap like Enduring Hondens. The hardest matchup is the black based Gifts with about a 45% pre-board victory and still only about 50% post board. Luckily my area is still very low on gift players. anyways without further ado here is the list
Creatures
4 Sakura Tribe Elder
4 Hana Kami
2 Kumano, Master Yamabushi
2 Kodama of the North Tree
Spells
4 Glacial Ray
4 Kodama's Reach
4 Reach Through Mists
3 Eerie Processions
3 Consuming Vortex
2 Reweave
2 Ire of Kaminari
2 Wear Away
2 Time of Need
Land
9 Forests
8 Islands
5 Mountains
Ok time for some card explanations
STE- Well he is an obvious inclusion in every multicolor deck with green in it
Hana Kami- with some many arcanes he definitely helps out in a pinch
Kumano- Good against aggro with his ability plus a solid hitter-Win Condition
Kodama-excellent vs. control and all the other good reasons- Win COndition
Ray- Splicable removal
K. Reach- Duh im playing 3 colors
Reach through Mists-splice target plus it draws a card
Eerie- Mostly to get the all important wear away or Ire
Consuming Vortex- tempo advantage plus its a good bounce
Reweave-very very interesting, sometimes i've lucked out and weaved in a double legend which was nice, also useful against the jitte
Ire- with all the arcanes why not-Alternate/Surprise Win Condition
Wear Away- Anti-Jitte, needle, top
Time of Need- to grab kumano or kodama in case
OK so i was wondering what everyone though, so post away
