Lone Goat posted:is the dwarf better than Scampering Scorcher though? because that deck can't afford a lot of 4 cost cards. IDK, scorcher is better if you have an empty board or just have a spitfire down, but dwarf is better if you have a few dudes and a cavalcade.

This feels like something that was watered down at the last minute but I guess there's enough effects that care about lifegain in Standard for it to produce some decent value.

You know what's starting to bum met out? The realization that Once Upon a Time must not be part of a cycle. Maybe they couldn't make interesting ones for other colors without being busted.

I think the dwarf is there so that the deck still functions when you don't draw cavalcade. And being a blowout when you get the God hand of course

Sickening posted:Man, if rally the throne was 2 cmc that card would be lit as gently caress. A strictly better raise the alarm would be a bit much. As it stands I can see it possibly as a one of in tokens with all the lifegain the deck tries to do anyway. Not sure what it replaces in a deck the non-aggro versions that lack raise the alarms.

Tibalt posted:I think there's enough incidental mill in standard right now along with cards ending up in the graveyard through regular play. A 2-mana "Kill a 5 or less CMC creature OR counter a 5 or less CMC spell" that you can't cast on curve feels like it has a home in Dimir or Grixis control, and I don't think that's unrealistic. if my 2 mana removal spell cannot actually kill a creature on turn 2 then i'm not interested

Just do something else on t2 lmao. Play a different removal spell or play a discard spell or so on. Play it alongside the 3 mana tribal sweeper. The card is super good and warping your deck a little bit to take advantage of it is totally acceptable.

If they were cool they'd print a card where you can only trigger the extra effect with an outside tax effect.

A 4/4 for 3 that grows bigger and bigger as you spawn stuff? I can see that going really nicely in a mono-green token EDH deck or something. Or as a limited finisher/threat.

Drown in the Loch just sounds like it wants some deck focused on milling your opponent or discarding their stuff from t1 if possible, not everything needs to be in Teferi Tribal.

I think Drown in the Loch is good in every situation so long as you are able to trade your cards for your opponent's cards. It's good with Thought Erasure, it's good with Tyrant's Scorn, it's good with Witch's Vengeance, etc. I think if you are jumping through hoops to make it good then you're doing it wrong. Just play a normal UB Control deck and slot Drown in the Loch as a flexible card that is busted the later the game goes. Play it alongside stuff like Hero of Precinct One or Thief of Sanity. Card is just super good and flexible.
