Well I wish you good luck in making your project work, but up until now Myth Realized isn't really showing up in any relevant top 8, so I'm just sticking with reality. The fact it dies to Decay is not a "mindless assumption", it is a fact, and it is relevant. Not that it is the only or even the main issue this card has.
Well thank you! (assuming no sarcasm).
First, it didn't mean to lash out against you, my reply was meant for zachawry - all I see whenever Myth is mentioned is "it dies to abrupt decay" as the counter argument, it was a general solicitation to give the card a chance. I honestly think the card should be tested more, but that's based on my experience with it.
Abrupt Decay is seen in 14,3% decks at 2,7 copies on average. The way I've built the list, Myth is the only target for Decay - which has a bad day against Lingering Souls and Colonnade. In the matchups where decay might be a problem I can just board out some of the Myths. But honestly, I rarely do, as they've won me games where the GBx player didn't have the decay, or it simply didn't matter because Myth only costed me one mana.
While yes, it doesn't have any relevant abilities, does allow the deck to run a higher spell density and a more focused control game. You drop it early, then proceed to play your counters, sweepers and removal - eventually swing with a huge beat-stick.
However, the card shouldn't be slot into the midrange variant of UW Control. It requires its own environment. So based on that it's hard to say whichever path is best, unless more people are willing to test it. I could go on and on, with more reasons why I believe the card has potential, but most of it is already written at my tappedout page. I do my best to prove its relevance, however it'll take me a while.
Edit: I'd be interested to hear what you believe are the main issues with the card. Do you have experience with it?
Anybody play Myth Realized? I took a break for the past year or so, but before I left I played a UW control with Myth. It lets you play 1 cheap card that potentially gets huge, both for blocking and attacking. It's also a mana sink for the draw-go style. I want to get back into MTGO, and am wondering if this is still viable.
Thanks!
I've followed this thread for a while, but haven't taken an active part of it. However, when I saw you mention Myth Realized I had to comment, as I've been playing / testing the card for quite a while now - Mythic Command.
I truly believe that the card has potential, and that it is too easily dismissed. My plan is to post my primer on this forum once it's finished, but if you have any questions about the list feel free to ask them over at my deck site on tappedout - as I'm not checking this thread too frequently.
But please, don't let the "parrots" mentioning "dies to Abrupt Decay" keep you away form - at the very least - testing the card. It's just a mindless assumption, and not as real of an issue as people tend to believe.
