It's one of the most difficult decks to run optimally, even the best players make mistakes constantly. I've heard as much, but it's super-interesting to me so hopefully I can take the beginner's lumps in stride. It can't be any worse than trying to play Dredge in a FLGS meta of graveyard hate.

Roshambo posted:I guess, but it's going to be turn 5 before it untaps and you can use it as a 2/4 flyer. Sure, but if you're attacking with it every turn it's only dealing 1 less damage than wind drake would and if it gets famous (and sometimes even if it doesn't) it's stellar on defense too.

bhsman posted:Yeah, but it's in a color that encourages or even needs to put more lands in play. Debating whether or not this is good with Amulet Bloom (particularly if they feel like Hive Mind should be banned). If bloom titan really wanted this effect, Avenger if Zendikar is way higher impact.

Jeez how necessary are they for the deck? I get why they're good in that deck but would running stomping grounds be that much of a downgrade? My friend has u tron and was thinking of picking up the pieces he needed for r/g but don't think he'll bite at $250+ for a playset of willows.

Grove is a straight up Dual in that deck since their life is irrelevant.

If I didnt have my set I would run Karplusan Forest over stomping grounds. But Groves are the best dual land for the deck by far.

Oh yeah forgot about the ol' pain lands somehow. What this really means is that they need to finish off the grove cycle and horizon canopy cycle.

The core set with Foresee and Squadron Hawks loving ruled to draft. I personally have 50+ preordains and foresees just from drafting. That was before I just started giving them to kids at FNM.

M15 was cool to draft. I never did M14 but elixir + opportunity was fun to watch. M13 was OK, from what I remember, but I didn't play that much of it. Neferox was some big bag of bullshit to go against though. M12 was not very fun to me. M11 was fun.

Pontius Pilate posted:Oh yeah forgot about the ol' pain lands somehow. What this really means is that they need to finish off the grove cycle and horizon canopy cycle. The Grove cycle would be too powerful. They'd be Ally lands so imagine a control deck in any format with access to untapped U/W and/or U/B duals with a, mostly irrelevant to them, "downside." The Canopy cycle might be OK to do though. Maybe they could do Groves as a Red version of the Tainted Lands where they only exist as R/X. Or maybe they'd be G/X instead. That might, maybe be OK but I don't know if they're willing to do not-quite-cycles like that now.

The Core Sets have mostly just been "there" for me. I'm not sad at all to see them go and nothing about Origins disabuses me of that attitude. Cernunnos posted:The Grove cycle would be too powerful. They'd be Ally lands so imagine a control deck in any format with access to untapped U/W and/or U/B duals with a, mostly irrelevant to them, "downside." They're just one off cards anyways, the fact you could make a similar card for every color doesn't mean its a cycle. I mean, technically, the Sword cycle is incomplete because we don't have Allied ones but that isn't happening.

Rinkles posted:What did you like about it? TriplicateSpirits.dec was great for the first weeks when nobody at my store was drafting it because making big piles of tokens is extremely my poo poo. Then everyone figured out how good it was and half the table was always fighting over white so I got to play the Coral Barrier+Stormtide Leviathan deck a bunch instead.
