Goose isn't as good as BoP, a multi-format all star. That doesn't make it an uncommon. It would be overbearing in limited to have decks with multiple, and it is a very reasonable constructed card with Oko and Wolf.

I jammed 5 color jank at my pre-release today. 3-0 before I had to drop, and I did get the Happily Ever After win once

Oko is a good loving card and I think it's going to show up in Modern a fair bit in U/G creature decks (all two of them) It's a very flexible card and it combines tokens with maindeck lifegain, answers to problematic Ensnaring Bridges and a whole host of other things U/G typically has issues with like Bobs or Dreadhorde Arcanists

Having just logged back into Arena for the first time in a few days, I'm pleased to report that standard is worse than ever!  And if T3feri was a mythic, it'd be the most expensive card in standard by an enormous margin.

I actually quite like the current standard, though I actually like playing Esper Dance of Doom. The mirror is loving weird to play, I've had opponents lose to time 2 or 3 times now.

Did a prerelease today and didn't really pull anything good in my box. Ended up running Mardu Knights. Went 0-2 first game, but the guy I played with was all "I'm just leaving after this anyway so you can have the win-- I just wanted to play a game before leaving", 2-0 the second game, 0-2 the third, and got a draw on the last game. Ended up getting a Questing Beast and a foil Murderous Rider from prize packs, so that's all right I guess. Got a couple prerelease Arena codes from other people who don't play Arena thinking I could use more than one-- apparently you cannot, and that is lame. So have some codes! eaL-2ADg-8b3 yfg-sbUP-vaw

TheDemon posted:Taken, thank you. gently caress, I wish my loving computer wasn't so loving lazy.  It takes a solid minute to boot from sleep, 5 minutes to load Arena, and needs to take a breather every 6 seconds while Arena is running. Lmao, I just beat a turn 3 Oko after jamming together the remnants of my previous standard deck and parts of the current Cavalcade deck. Smug little bitch said "Good game" after dropping an Oko and making a food on turn 3 but my Scorch Spitter and Mask elemental did a whole lotta goddamn work! Judging by how little he did beyond draw cards and counter Skarrgan Hellkite, he was really counting on his planeswalkers and food-turned-elk keeping me considerably busier. Chandra Acolyte loving owns, mother of god!

Mono black aggro is pretty decent at the moment, but it needs at least 8 rares (4x Knight of the Ebon Legion, 4x Rotting Regisaur)

ajani's pridemate.dec is well-positioned for return to theros imo, and the only rare that deck really needs is linden i think they're going to kneecap blue and black devotion and instead print literally any white card with devotion worth playing and make it good, unlike last time

I can't recommend Skarrgan Hellkite enough.

Tubgoat posted:At least 16 rares because Lockthwain and Hero's Downfall Rider and 4 mythics because the Cavaliers are irreplaceable. poo poo, right. I only run 3x Cavalier, though. Syr Konrad fits in nicely too, I got my first ELD standard constructed win vs Grixis control the other day because of Konrad triggering off of a Liliana, Dreadhorde General -4 making me sac a Cavalier and some other rando when the opponent was at 3 life, taking them to 1. Cav's death trigger brought back a Plaguecrafter I had in the yard, Lili died and Crafter died to itself, triggering Konrad for the final point of damage

Ha, nice. I've been enjoying Chandra's Spitfire A LOT when I'm able to untap with it. 3 Cavalier is indeed likely sufficient. Oh, and then there's that loving Elf that I want to play in modern zombies. Fake edit: An hour from now, we're gonna realise the entire deck is literally all rare or higher.

So I'm tweaking this jank pile that I brewed up to keep saving precious rare/mythic wildcards till the decks start congealing: 2 Leyline of Abundance (M20) 179 9 Forest (ANA) 65 4 Reaper of Night (ELD) 102 4 Leafkin Druid (M20) 178 3 Paradise Druid (WAR) 171 9 Swamp (ANA) 63 4 Rosethorn Acolyte (ELD) 174 4 Lucky Clover (ELD) 226 1 Lovestruck Beast (ELD) 165 4 Order of Midnight (ELD) 99 4 Murderous Rider (ELD) 97 4 Overgrown Tomb (GRN) 253 1 Vraska, Golgari Queen (GRN) GR8 1 Vraska, Golgari Queen (GRN) 213 2 Temple of Malady (M20) 254 4 Edgewall Innkeeper (ELD) 151 And whenever I resolve the Murder taped to the Rider under clover, it GTG instead of exiling to adventure. Is there some interaction I'm missing, or is Arena hosed in spite of all the fanfare about leaving Beta?

Tubgoat posted:Cavalcade seems fine. With a little luck and some ill-advised tweaks such as 5-drops and 18 land, you could possibly make gold with it if you manage to dodge mono black aggro. “You can possibly make gold” isn’t much of an endorsement when you can get to gold with like a 30% winrate Also don’t put 5 drops in cavalcade and you can take it much further

Tubgoat posted:Oh poo poo, you can 2-for-1 an Adventure spell by saccing the target?? Yep. If the Adventure spell doesn't resolve, the creature just goes into the graveyard, since the part where the Adventure card goes into Exile is part of the effect of the spell resolving. The target becoming invalid, countermagic, just not having a target when the spell resolves- all cause the Adventure to fail and the creature to just get placed in the yard instead.

small teferi defining what midrange haymakers you're allowed to play (the correct answers are 'other teferis', 'questing beast', and 'golos') is definitely superior to 'teferi emblem, exile all your stuff, teferi targeting himself so i can never deck myself, please clap'

Doom Foretold is a great answer to teferi!. Also comes down the turn after royal scions. Remember how Eldest Reborn was a good card because it made people sac 1 huge creature or a planeswalker? this is that, but cheaper, and does it every turn.
