It's clear to me now that Nicol Bolas's plan all along has been to destroy standard.

I would legit love it if there were some Grant Morrison-esque deal where Bolas had learned that he was a character in a poorly written story and his master plan was to destroy it from the inside by preventing people from playing.

uninverted posted:Probably not. Eldrazi isn't a deck that wants a trickle of value over a lot of turns, you want to disrupt the opponent a bit and then throw your big aliens at them. I figure it's exactly what the deck wants - draw fixing that turns in to a free value generator. With a Noble she comes down and ticks up on turn 2 to fix you up good.

I don't think she works great in Eldrazi with how expensive most of the creatures are but I think that kind of deck is on the right track.

Eldrazi's main weakness is how inconsistent it can be. Sometimes you don't get any Temples and your Hierarch gets bolted T1 or sometimes your one big creature is a TKS and it gets Terminated right away. One or two of the new Nissa in the 75 is at least worth trying out to find a Displacer and Drowner faster for the late game.

Sure the dream is a turn 2 TKS, but sometimes you just die to your own draws and whiff on your stirrings. Nissa dodges this, is another target that protects your life, and helps build your board.

ShaneB posted:https://www.isleofcards.com/magic-the-gathering-beginner-guide Wanted to touch base and thank you for the useful resources - I read the article, watched the video, lost my first game, and I'm still interested so there's that. I have a limited base of how the game is played to build off now, so I'm curious about (casual) deck building - good strategies for beginners to pursue, most efficient products to look for, etc. Whether you have the time to reply or not, thanks for the time regardless.

Deified Data posted:Wanted to touch base and thank you for the useful resources - I read the article, watched the video, lost my first game, and I'm still interested so there's that. Netdeck. Just netdeck. People also seem to like https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles type budget brew deck things. I'd suggest exploring preconstructed decks to mess with with your friends, as they are cheap and fun enough and give you more ideas of what color identities are in some way.

If your plan is to play casual, find out what your friends are playing, and maybe ask to borrow a deck while you figure out what top build for yourself. If most of your friends don't play, you're going to mostly get you're games in at your local shop, which will range from slightly less casual to down right spiky, depending on your shop. If that's the case, you can buy into a budget deck for whatever format is popular to start learning and then upgrade into better decks to attack your local meta game as you figure it out and your budget allows.
