Here is that deck list.

Carl Killer Miller posted:

Incredible. I'm running a very budget build (highland lakes style) and only playing in open play. If have a 5+power creature with evasion (thing counts when it flips) then you can cast insult, get in for 10+, fling for 10+ more and that's lethal most of the time.

Basically what I go for is:

Turn 1: Cycle censor or bolt to the face
Turn 2: Thing in the Ice
Turn 3: Sweltering Suns
Turn 4: Winds of rebuke, strategic planning
Turn 5: Insult flips thing, get in, fling it, win game.

If that doesn't work you will probably get a 6/4 enigma drake on 6 at least.

My store had a free Standard tournament to try to shock the Standard scene back to life. We had 24 people, almost none of which were the people who had been complaining about Standard not firing for the past two or three months, because, Magic players. Anyway, I went 4-1 with Approach, and the deck is so fun. I'd probably change my tune if I played against a single blue deck, but until I run into some counterspell deck it's fun. My only loss was to that Eldrazi Vampire deck, I can't win when I draw all my Approaches before I can cast them and he draws all of his Thought-Knot Seers. I think that deck just has too much disruption for me.

If someone wants to spend $80 on that, god bless em'. I feel like there are significantly cheaper ways to achieve likewise effects, so if someone wants to make these cards valuable by all means go ahead. Only helps the game keep pumping out.

New commander cards are weird, with lots of abilities, lots of old references, which is exactly what I like to see them printing.

Yay phasing!

It's a bit better in a midrange metagame than an aggro one, unfortunately. I'm playing a list like this:

I haven't had any luck at all with Fling, but am still loving the Homunculus, which lets you go off on Turn 4 with Insult/Injury.

Especially since you can't even make use of any off color lands you grab. Commander doesn't seem like the right place for that card. I do like it in general though, it's a nice twist on Ophidian.
