So has anyone had any luck with mardu aggro or midrange decks or is control looking like the way to go for those colors? I can't decide which route to try first.

I tried a low-cmc-leaning list with Bloodsoaked Champion, Rabblemaster, Mardu Ascendency and Butcher at the top of the curve, but the mana is really painful and the draws can be really inconsistent. I think mono-black just works better as far as aggro decks featuring Bloodsoaked champion go.

I playtested an updated monoblack aggro against someones new temur monsters deck and won at least 75% of the games. It's just a very reliable curve and beatdown and booksoaked champ is great.

I think Mogis's Marauder is secretly the most blow-out-ey 3-drop in the format right now.

My favorite is that Sturmgeist had to be renamed in German since Storm Spirit was previously translated as Sturmgeist. Thus the birth of Unwettergeist.

If you can do back to back marauders on turns 3 and 4, you've probably won. That deck gained about as much as it lost and it's still really good. Grim haruspex might deserve a maindeck slot too.

It still a great card out of the sideboard though. Its really lackluster against the heavy green decks and they are everywhere.

Cernunnos posted:You missed that actually almost decent Slivers boat. I saw a Slither deck at a WMCQ a month or two back in super standard, beat an rear end in a top hat I know and put him on tilt until he dropped out 0-3. I gather the land leaned green for Mana weft , obviously he had Slither Hive and Confluence. I it was Naya just splashing blue for the flying one, the black ones probably weren't worth playing. I think it was actually pretty consistent in the end, but probably got picked apart by anything with black removal or sweepers.

I thought it was pretty drat good, though if you want my two cents it could have some more bolded bits as right now it looks a little... bland? Like, even just highlighting some keywords like the format names and the really super important bits for newbies to be drawn to. Also, maybe a little sentence at the end about what Rotation is?

Can Deflecting Palm and the like work on burn spells where the damage is redirected to planeswalkers? Or must it be damage that, on resolution, hits you? What is the point of the redirect rule for non-combat damage to walkers anyway?

BizarroAzrael posted:Can Deflecting Palm and the like work on burn spells where the damage is redirected to planeswalkers? Or must it be damage that, on resolution, hits you? Burn spells target you, not your walker, the choice to redirect to the 'walker is made after it resolves. So at the point you'll know who's getting burnt, you won't be able to cast Palm any more, because it will have happened. Basically, yes, they do work on burn spells, technically? But you can never know if they're shooting you or your walker before casting Palm, if that was what you're asking. And the reason for the redirect rule is so that they wouldn't go and change however many "target player" effects for just damage from what I know. Also it sounds kinda cumbersome. VV: Pretty much, yeah, that's exactly it. Thanks.

It doesn't target, the damage is applied to the source's controller, so you can't redirect it to an opponent's planeswalker. However you can still deflecting palm damage that would be redirected to a planeswalker you control.

ΛΛ: They choose whether to shoot your or your walker after the spell is already resolving. Even if they say "Bolt your Tamiyo" as a shortcut to "Bolt you, if it resolves, hit Tamiyo", if you choose to respond with anything (even an unrelated effect), they are not bound by their Tamiyo choice. So any damage that Palm could see would happen to you, and be redirected appropriately (depending on how the replacement effects work, but I'll trust them on that, it's past 2am right now)Cactrot posted:It doesn't target, the damage is applied to the source's controller, so you can't redirect it to an opponent's planeswalker. This is wrong, you absolutely can. You just redirect it as you would any noncombat damage effect. The Comp Rules posted:306.7. If noncombat damage would be dealt to a player by a source controlled by an opponent, that opponent may have that source deal that damage to a planeswalker the first player controls instead. This is a redirection effect (see rule 614.9) and is subject to the normal rules for ordering replacement effects (see rule 616). The opponent chooses whether to redirect the damage as the redirection effect is applied. Serperoth fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Oct 2, 2014 |
