I just noticed Jaces have actually been on a steady decline. Do youguys think they'll shoot back up after thisthis weekend or do you think they'll drop some more?

If jace has multiple top 8 finishes this weekend or has a strong day 2 showing it will, otherwise it will probably hold in the 50's due to modern and price memory.

The UR deck is fantastic. e: fetches are a loss but shard manabases seem fairly doable as long as you're prepared to play Evolving Wilds.

We didn't make it to Baltimore because of car issues but our Spirits deck wrecked two local FNMs and a IQ so I still think it's good. We'll see going forward.Count Bleck posted:I was actually testing a grindy Jund build yesterday and really as long as Evolving Wilds is a 4 of its not terrible. Isn't the 9-0 guy from yesterday in Baltimore from Close Encounters? I could've sworn I've played against him there a few times.

I would really like to see this list also. Tempo decks are my favorite, and I assume that is the route you went. Hopefully you are main decking essence flux with all of the spot removal flying around.

GoutPatrol posted:Who knew Thing in the Ice would be so good against ramp. His opponent had ulamog mana and threw it away to get a worse card from his deck in the face of a bounce effect that also blanked the world breaker he fetched staring him in the face on the board. I've seen worse throws, but not many.

I didn't really peg Spectral Shepherd for a constructed card, has it been good? I guess it's pretty cool when you have a Rattlechains out and can hold up its ability and your spirits.

Plus you can reactivate bolster on Anafenza, proc your Topplegeist again, dodge removal, investigate again with Bygone Bishop.... seems kinda awesome.

I'd also love to see the list for the u/b demonic pact deck. I tried it before ogw came out and it seemed really really bad back then. I guess not having to face rhinos makes your life a bit easier but the prevalence of tks and sideboard transgresses makes me skeptical.

stinkles1112 posted:This is extremely my poo poo It's OK. It's definitely not amazing since it's just so hard to set up delirium. It's very good in some cases though where you just cast it as a combat trick to tap down their world breaker or command it back. It's probably the worst creature in the deck... We're pretty low on good Spirits. Count Bleck posted:Oh yeah, he plays at CC all the time. Good for him. What's he on? No idea. Looks like he's a lock for top 8 though. 2nd place after 13 rounds.

If you can uptap with it you just can't lose to one for one removal the rest of the game. mcmagic fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Apr 10, 2016 |

Fallorn posted:Then why not maindeck it and board it out for the 25% of decks its not for? Our thought was that it takes away from our flyers strategy that people haven't been ready for. The 3 CMC spirits and Topplegeist aren't great once they know they are coming and can play around them.

Yeah I feel like it's just a strict upgrade from Topplegeist Or if you wanna stick with flyers, swap Topplegeist for Thunderclap Wyvern

stinkles1112 posted:Yeah I feel like it's just a strict upgrade from Topplegeist We tried this too. The curve is too high that way. You need the mana for bouncing shepherd or to hold up for counterspells and flash spirits. As far as Wyvern goes, we aren't in the market for 4 drops.

How are these human decks doing so well? Is no one playing any board wipes like Languish, Tendrils, Radiant Flames, etc? e: the deck is a lot slower than Atarka Red and Atarka Red was getting hated out last season - how is that not translating to this?
