    Don't think you missed anything. I think this is still the big unknown of this set... how will the DFCs be distributed into packs?

    According to MaRo - between Innistrad and Origin Planeswalker frequency.

    Oh, thanks! Wasn't expecting anyone to touch this request...ever. Sadly rotation happened and kinda makes these lovely ladies a moot point for a primer or deck tech, but thank you all the same, I'll certainly use it as a signature if/when you want to resize it.

    Here's hoping we get a GW card that represents something unique about Amonkhet. Sure we have a new Naya legend, but...

    The flavor on Bounty of the Luxa is off the charts, representing several details about the Nile river and how culturally significant it was.

    I mean, considering that the one they put onto a promo is only kinda okay, I don't think we have to worry too much about this being something that will dominate standard.

    This one is a common and that one is an uncommon. If I had to guess, we'll be seeing Enbalm at rare powerlevels, too.

    I appreciate the suggestions, but I'm really not interested in Standard right now. The 2.5 deck meta and the fact I haven't gone to a Standard FNM in ages...Yeah. Slant

    Given the 2.5 deck meta of standard, which my LGSs reflect consistently, and a lack of advise otherwise - I've decided to sell almost all non-Captain Sisay relevant BFZ and SOI block cards that once made up this deck.

    I have little interest in Standard where they ban 3 cards and think it helps diversify the format, when instead we've probably seen even more of a 2 deck standard than before. Quite frankly, I think WOTC should have banned something this past week, but they're not me and I'm not them...so the best thing I can do for myself is to not even bother with Standard until post-rotation.

    Welp, time to sell my BFZ-SOI block standard cards ASAP.

    Seeing the Pro Tour lists and thinking about my meta and the budget I have when compared to others I play against at FNM, alongside a friend saying he doesn't want to get into standard (despite loving the Grixis or just UB control/improvise decklist), have all made me reconsider my deck a bit more harshly.

    I don't have the budget to jam Gideon or Avacyn into the list I do have together; and I don't know if my curve or creature/non-creature ratio are good enough, let alone my removal. My actual chances against the tier 1 or 2 lists feel lower and lower as they're streamlined by competition, while my list is basically "rogue" now, despite having roots in the formerly played Naya Legends and...I haven't gotten to play standard since 2-3 weeks into KLD release.

    I'd really appreciate any feedback or recommendations. I don't want to feel so bad about standard, let alone my options when deckbuilding on what little budget I do have, but I am - and hearing commentaries and critiques may just help me streamline this into something at presentable and competitive/fun enough for FNM.

    As for potential directions I could take...I don't know if a budget WB angel-control deck would be a good direction to head or a BG +1/+1 counter list, especially on a budget. I know I play pretty well with GW midrange, but I don't know if the list I have - if any list at all - would be viable.

    If any decklist that's at least passable at FNM level, with tier 1 and 2 lists in the meta 100% of the time, would be a decent direction I could take from the cards I do have - whether it be WB angels or BG counters or something else - please let me know.

    Thanks.

    Replaced the Deathcap Cultivators for 3 Servants of the Conduit and 1 Rishkar, Peema Renegade - and moved Hope of Ghirapur to the SB.

    Please let me know if any of you have advice on streamlining and/or improving this deck.

    Well, speaking of Rishkar, Peema Renegade and Eldritch Evolution: I have 1 copy of Rishkar and 3 of Eldritch Evo now. Got to draft triple AER last night and opened Rishkar, Sram and an Oath of Ajani; even got 5th place out of the 18 people that drafted.

    I still need to streamline this deck, though. >.>;

    Updated OP. Need to work on SB, absolutely, and would love some feedback as to how I should streamline this deck.
    Please advise! Any and all help and constructive criticism would be appreciated!

    Decks that solely focus on extra turns.
