Bulky Bartokomous posted:I did tweak the deck so I could play legacy and that helps. I just hate that I can't have my Sol Ring and Balance Ray of Command is an instant. The common play with the card in a control shell (or in draft formats) is to steal your opponent's creature during their turn and then block another creature they're attacking with. Best case scenario, you wipe out two creatures of theirs for one card. We call these types of cards "Threaten" effects now, due to the Onslaught card Threaten that took the exact same template of what Ray of Command was doing and colorshifted it to Red. The mechanics of temporary insanity, stealing a creature for a short period of time, are now purely Red's domain, and almost every set has some flavor of Threaten. However, most of these effects (Threaten, Limits of Solidarity, Wrangle, Hijack, Act of Treason) are considered bad because the card is now sorcery speed, preventing that sweet, sweet limited 2 for 1 blowout. The instant speed versions such as Turn Against, Act of Aggression, Word of Seizing, etc. are still printed from time to time, and are picked higher in draft due to the possibility for these blowouts. That being said, you can totally make temporary insanity cards work to your advantage in limited, even at sorcery speed. Aether Revolt limited had Wrange/Hijack as well as Defiant Salvager, which would allow you to steal your opponent's creatures or artifacts and turn them into +1/+1 counters on your salvager.

Should have killed that Crypt Breaker while Gerry was manascrewed. I'm glad that a deck with AKH cards won. Also that it wasn't Marvel.

ThePeavstenator posted:Seriously, gently caress Marvel and gently caress WotC for thinking that grindy value bullshit is preferable to a real control deck existing. U/R could certainly emerge as the fourth deck in the format, it wouldn't surprise me one bit. I think with the rise of zombies Jeskai control might be a thing, with Magma Spray, Cast Out and Fumigate, radiant flames, etc.

It looks like we're shaping up to have a tier one with zombies, marvel, and mardu (it didn't crack the top eight but it was all over the place and got a lot of constructed wins) and a tier two with GB constrictor (energy or delirium package), URx gearhulk control, and possibly temur midrange or UR emerge. Aside from the Ulamog slot machine problem it seems like a pretty fun format.

This standard format seems like it would be much more fun without BFZ block. Next rotation kills BFZ and SOI at the same time, right?

I'd love to get into zombies but I'm not dropping $80 on a playset of cards that's going to dive in six months. I'm also really hesitant to pay $35 for Liliana, the Last Hope while she's still in Standard.

Hellsau posted:This deck went 8-1-1 and 7-3 and is 105 tickets online, so it'll probably be getting a poo poo ton of results on MTGO in the coming weeks: Just the variations within Temur Marvel decks are absurd, the temur energy shell is definitely the most diverse in terms of playable cards in standard, and somewhere in there, or splashing white, is the best deck, if anyone can figure it out. Cat Combo would have ground every deck in this format to dust. That deck has a plan B good enough to 5-0. I don't think I'll play zombies anytime soon because the cards all spiked and I took an extended break from MTGO until Kaladesh so I don't have a lot of the deck, but I like this standard format with Cat gone, I think it has a reasonably competitive deck for just about any type of player, and some good budget options.

I'm also really hesitant to pay $35 for Liliana, the Last Hope while she's still in Standard. Of all the cards in standard right now, Liliana is the one I'm most sure is going to steadily tick up in value post rotation. Both 3 mana Lilianas are insane and are going to be modern staples for the foreseeable future. Marketing New Brain fucked around with this message at 23:08 on May 14, 2017 |

Mark Rosewater is a funny small man with a weird voice. He is also pretty drat good at game design, and is blamed for a lot of things that people should actually be shouting at Aaron Forsythe or Chris Cocks for.
