Hi, I have been away from mtg for a while and am wondering which format is the cheapest to get back in. I dont like drafting, so I would rather stick to constructed. But, which drafts have the most bang for your buck? Which constructed format/deck is played alot and cheapest?
Hi, I have been playing for years and have picked up on little things you should do during tournaments
1. Usually, when u want to play something, you think about it and it is obvious, so occasionally, you need to pause sometimes just to make your opponent think more
2. It is always fun sleeving up in like a chandra or garruk sleeves and playing other decks lol
3. Have some random tokens like dragons, goblins, or something on the table
There are more, but I do some without realizing it now. What other ways do you psych out your opponent?
Do you think it is useful? obviously skill is still a big part of the game, but I always get a good laugh when someone ask me if I had X in my hand, and i say nope! then they sigh and show me they could have won lol
I dont see how this deck is still viable in our meta. UB is a very tough matchup. Caw-blade is still played and pretty effective still. RDW is extremely fast and act of aggression and mark of mutiny just wrecks. Even twin can be too fast.
ok, glad to see many have at least 3, i like the playset, in the sb. I love stealing an obliterator when mono black attacks with a creature with lashwrithe...good times
I have played mono black and valakut, and my biggest fears were running into act of aggressions to kill my own creatures or just taking them and outright winning. Im always surprised when I dont see it in the 75, why?
why havent they added it yet for competitive queues? I know they have commander, but that is strictly casual. EDH is extremely popular. I am done w/ the current formats, mainly because they can get boring sometime,s but edh so so diverse and fun...
do yall find thoughtseize necessary? With all the life loss in the deck, seems like others may be used. I really like IOk, solves many of our problems. Just cant touch NOm hive mind, batterskull (obv we can kill stoneforge) and FOW, but that is mainly it in the competitive scene, yes occasionally others may be played, but those seem like the main. I play with 2 cabals also
What is the right number of enlightened tutors to run when using the package?
What is the right number of scullers? not aether vial version
Do yall really like chrome mox as a three of? I havent played with the mox, but it just seems underwhelming
and how good is mirran crusader md? I like him alot personally, but ww can be hard to get, esp if playing malakir
How is revoker for yall?
Sensei's divining top is amazing, but is it worth it, 1 or 2 of?
path to exile...when are you really wanting this? ive heard vs zoo, but I dont like giving them land. yes, they run at least 1 basic
and im guessing, there is no love for misstep. online, it seems great. lots of uw, zoo, elves, aether vial and stp
I really like this deck and my favorite cards are stoneforge, bitterblossom, and hymn to tourach, so after searching, I was debating on whether or not to go straight bw, or bwu thoughts?
These are the two list I am beginning with. ones is edgar flores. The other is one from mtgo, though I want to make room for hymn to tourach.
So I need a little bit of advice on how to fill up the last few spots and sideboard material on my MBC that I'm taking to FNM this week. The purpose of the metamorphs is to give me a little bit more variety, I can essentially run 6-7 of each card / lashwrithe.
This only totals 55 cards however, looking to fill up the last 5 spots.
What I'm currently looking at are 2-3x Gatekeeper of Malakir, 2x Grave Titans and maybe 1 more geth's verdict?
For sideboard, the only thing I have so far is 3x Black Sun's Zenith for all the aggro / tempered steel / goblins out there. Other than, i'm thinking of siding 2-3 more discard, 2-3 more destroy effects, surgical extraction? and beyond that.... I really have no clue.
Any advice?
I would drop doom blades, or maybe a few in the side. But u def need to put in go for the throat. I dont know what your fnm is like, but generally, spellkites will be everywhere, and you dont want to have to worry about not being able to deal with them. Also, vampires may be rampant, so doom blade doesnt seem so good right now.
on another note....16-5 online. I played in three more gold queues. they all happen to be against same person piloting an interesting UB control deck. It was a forgemaster tezz deck. very nifty and close match. But the key was not letting forge stick or tezz, then they rly couldnt win. Of course, boarded in memoricides. took out tezz first, then forgemaster if i would have drawn second.
spellkites were useless vs them, since they used go for the throat. Also, nantuko shade was boss vs them. When they iok me, they made me discard it over malakir even though they had low creature count.
Make sure u keep some hexmages in your 75!!! they are useful
What do you think will be a tier 1 deck to build around after the changes?
if there is another forum discussing this, can you post it? i couldnt find one

How do you justify still playing valakut?

What would you take out to put in hymn to tourach? I rly like having jace as alternate wincon too. I like the idea of spellsprites, worth it?
Which list do you like better?
