I shared the previous deck I posted with another forum. One person said the archetype was ok, but I needed some different cards. So I changed it around based on him just throwing out some card suggestions and I went from a crapp €50 deck, to a €180 that hasn't worked out for me yet. I'm having difficulty playing the higher CMC cards. I played another G/B deck and he Fatal Pushed the Constrictor lynchpin to the deck, so that wasn't good. Apart from that my attempt at deckbuilding was definitely something, at the least it seems it's a passable idea for my first deck even if it's not going to win much of anything. Here's what I ended up with after the other forum's suggestions. Deck: Untitled Deck   //Main 4 Narnam Renegade 2 Rishkar, Peema Renegade 4 Scrounging Bandar 4 Winding Constrictor 3 Walking Ballista 4 Fatal Push 2 Drana, Liberator of Malakir 4 Subtle Strike 4 Fairgrounds Trumpeter 3 Verdurous Gearhulk 4 Blooming Marsh 7 Swamp 9 Forest 4 Baloth Pup 2 Nissa, Voice of Zendikar //Sideboard 4 Hope of Ghirapur  Display deck statisticsThis was just based on card names they threw out, so it's not them that's messed up the way they're included in the deck rather it'd be me who did that. Anyway, if anyone has further advice on the build, or how to play it I'd appreciate it.

Green-black is either the best or second best deck around right now depending on who you ask. Try to work toward this deck that won the first SCG open of this standard, you already have most of the expensive pieces.

There goes my first attempt at creating my own affordable FNM deck. I mean, I should be encouraged that I came up with one interaction other people have seen and played, but if it's as big as this that's the end of my originality ambitions for today. Although it's not like Winding Constrictor is some amazing synergistic idea that was hidden, it's exactly what the card is supposed to do. At least I got a few games with it, and I'll remember a few cards for future theorycrafting.

Funny emotes that you can circlejerk with when someone topdecks don't really make up for not being able to pause and resume the stream. Ditching youtube is still a huge mistake.

That Liliana emote though. Who the heck decided to include that one? If they wanted to include a woman in there, there's like a few dozen cards of Jaya and Chandra that would've been much better.

I really hope they got a bunch of twitch money to make it exclusive, instead of just doing it because someone at wizards watches a lot of twitch streams and thinks it's better.

The odds are good they had to ditch youtube to get extra benefits from twitch. Despite the lack of pause and resume, twitch is by far the more popular of the streaming platform and offered them more views overall.

It's a real convenient "person making an L with their hand" for people to use after a big misplay.

Sickening posted:The odds are good they had to ditch youtube to get extra benefits from twitch. Despite the lack of pause and resume, twitch is by far the more popular of the streaming platform and offered them more views overall. Is one of those benefits going to be the stream not loving hanging and stuttering constantly? Because it used to be awful trying to watch the PT coverage on Twitch until the chat helpfully reminded me hey, the Youtube stream is having no problems, and then I switched to that and it was all great for the rest of the weekend. That's not really an option anymore, so if the stream just stops functioning it's going to be kind of a catastrophe.

I'm surprised they took 2 emotes from Enthralling Victor. Using every part of good card art. Chill la Chill posted:IDK man, $5/month is pretty high for just two emotes. Like, they are really good emotes but man... I count 5 excellent emotes.  And Liliana I guess.

Would a MM17 reprint of Liliana OTV even cause a substantial or lasting drop in her price? Thinking of the Goyf reprints it seems like demand and price memory could keep it put. Considering parting with my set though, partially because Last Hope seems pretty modern playable and I'm not sure I'll ever get Goyfs for Jund.

I would think that if the print run of mm17 is like 15 that they will simply buylist her at 90 and call it a day.

Considering parting with my set though, partially because Last Hope seems pretty modern playable and I'm not sure I'll ever get Goyfs for Jund. I'm not sure if Lili sees quite the level of play as Goyf. It's probably close, but not all mythics that got re-printed in MM have retained their value. Plus you have to imagine that demand will be higher for this set than previous MMs, assuming Wizards will take that into consideration. Basically I have no idea but I hope they do come down because I want a couple!

Considering parting with my set though, partially because Last Hope seems pretty modern playable and I'm not sure I'll ever get Goyfs for Jund. It'll be like every other chase mythic out of MM. It'll drop about 20% for anywhere between 4 and 10 months. Then it'll go back to where it was. After two years, if she doesn't see another reprint, she'll be even higher than she is now. If she gets another reprint (like Goyf) and doesn't see a drop in play (like Dark Confidant), she might hover around 10% - 15% lower than current price.

Considering parting with my set though, partially because Last Hope seems pretty modern playable and I'm not sure I'll ever get Goyfs for Jund. I mean, Goyf was over $200 before it was first reprinted and it's under $100 now. Even before the 2nd reprint it was more like $150. Of course it's also pretty much unplayable outside of modern now where there were like 3 decks that played it as a 4-of in legacy before. I'd guess Lili will drop $30-50 depending on the print run. I sold mine for $90 at the last GP I was at in my vain attempt to get rid of most of my cards because holy crap Lili decks are probably the least fun decks to play and lol $90 buylist for cards I paid $25 for.
