Bonus posted:I think it has, prior to Modern Horizons. It was like the 3rd or 4th most played deck, with Humans, Tron and UW control ahead of it I think. I think its numbers are so high right now because everyone is gunning for Hogaak, and it has good tools to battle the deck. However, after something from Hogaak gets banned, I think we'll see if the meta can adapt again. Yeah the meta adjusted to Phoenix, but I'm not sure if it could again through Aria of Flame. That's definitely a huge addition to the deck that makes it much harder to stop. Bonus posted:My bet would be on banning Hogaak and Altar together. The format has shown that it can adapt to Phoenix pretty well, as it was dwindling in numbers up until Modern Horizons. I really don't think you need to ban Hogaak if you ban Altar. Hogaak Bridgevine would be a competitive deck but not broken.

Phoenix is a graveyard value deck that can’t actually beaten by attacking the graveyard That style of deck can be fairly strong

It's not even a graveyard value deck honestly. Rule of Law/Thalia/Chalice are the ways to beat Phoenix, not graveyard hate.

Bonus posted:I'm a big fan of Eldrazi Tron in this meta (and in general). Chalice does a number on them and Hogaak, it has the wishboard package and endgame and can clog up the ground against aggressive decks. I think the Grixis Urza deck does a fairly similar thing but is better. I'm probably just saying this because I love thopter sword.

Honestly the pie chart would be OK if they just lumped all of the unlabeled slices together as "other". Also I hope they publish lists for all of these weird one-of decks.

^ ^ ^ Straight up. Making me wanna try Abbott of Keral Keep in place of Phoenix. What's the black-bordered 5th Edition equivalent of data visualisation? v v v SCG called Monored Phoenix "Burn" and I was frankly disappointed to see Phoenix because I don't want to spend $80 a set of Phoenix on the low end.

There is mono red Phoenix which is good, but also a prowess tribal deck that has been running around too that seems very good

This mardu death's shadow deck looks really cool, the way you can go off with rangers, arcanists and unearths gives it a great late game and it's in colors with good interaction.

Went 6-3 in the Omniscience draft with this, and it was a lot of fun! Turns out having 4x Tithebearer Giant is pretty good in this format. I'd have preferred to play without a couple of the spells, but I had very little room for adjustment due to the nature of this draft. Some games I had explosive turns: one example is having one of the birds out, drawing into a second, playing enough noncreatures and also Samut's Sprint on the new bird. I wasn't even done playing spells when my opp. conceded, and the birds each had 12 power already. Another game was pretty funny, because they played a God-Pharoah's Statue on T1, which was annoying, but a turn or two later I got to play a Topple on it. They then played a second statue, but then I was able to draw into another Topple and take over the game from there. The only games I dropped were 1) opp. dropped Narset on T1, did a lot of stuff, and then went off on T2 to kill me, 2) slow start that wasn't helped by opp. playing decent stuff and 'walkers before playing out Oketra and sealing the deal, and 3) also a slow start, but stabilized before having opp. play Bolas on top of their large field of creatures.

Keep in mind there's an unmoored ego type effect that lets you choose anything in the graveyard at instant speed and costs no mana and that doesn't 100% beat the deck, though it does slow it down.

Also Phoenix has been built to the point where on Phoenix and finale care about the graveyard anymore and aria is incredibly good at sidestepping it.

Dehtraen posted:https://clips.twitch.tv/MagnificentAnnoyingTrollCclamChamp I know "never say never" with Magic but they will never change the card back. It would gently caress up kitchen table players who don't bother with sleeves which is the majority of their playerbase. I think there were some discussions of including Purple a new sixth color in Planar Chaos that would be diametrically opposed to Green (with "City" being its basic land) complete with a new card back, but they ultimately scrapped the idea. I wonder if someone at CFB somehow got their hands on a mock-up of that back.

If you GIS "Magic card back" and filter it for large photos, that's the first result. Whoever put the Powerpoint together wasn't paying attention.

I refuse to believe that the active player base is dominated by the kitchen table players, playing at home without sleeves. While that is probably true for people who have touched a magic card or have played a game, changing the card back isn't throwing off more than half of the active community. Its just not.

4 of my friends made top 8 of the legacy classic today. All 4 made it to the semifinals. I was 10 minutes too late to sign up because I got stuck on the wrong side of the river because Pittsburgh loves to close roads and completely isolate one part of the city from the other.
