I've seen Jeskai walkers, but I think Temur can do some stuff, especially when you can draw lots of cards with stuff like 4-mana chandra and escape to the wilds and Hydroid Krasis. You also get to play Questing Beast and/or Shifting Ceratops and Fae of Wishes. It should be worth a try at least. I'm not sure how much ramp you should have though. I think I definitely want Risen Reef in there, and maybe Cavalier as well, but I'm not sure if I also want the 0/3 for turn 3 fires and elemental synergy, or if I want incubation druid because I can tap my lands to adapt it after playing my free spells and make bigger krasi. Turn 3 Fires + Risen Reef can lead to double 5-drops on turn 4. This could be the new "turn 3 nissa"

I finally decided to do the play any cards standard event, and while I hated the simic ramp mirror matches I had, BR Knights has been a lot of fun. Unless I find something I like better next weekend, I think that's what I'll be building toward. Edit: Oops, wrong thread, but there's obviously some crossover anyway.

I feel like if you're playing Teferi, it should probably be a 4-of because it does really powerful things that you want as much as possible. I've almost never hated having multiple teferis in my hand.

TheKingofSprings posted:No Opt? I go back and forth on Opt. The plus side is obvious, but the downside is that it's frequently an effective sorcery since you're often going to need to cast it on your turn to proc your stuff since it's only a draw-one, and Opt is much worse as a sorcery. I'd almost rather play merchant of the veil

Standard is fine atm, it's still evolving and there are literal flavors of the day. We'll see what happens when it settles down, but any blanket statement this early on while this much is happening is extremely silly.

The smallest standards tend to be the best standards. See how much better GRN standard was than Esper Standard(RNA) or Teferi, Time Raveler Standard(WAR) or Scapeshift-Field Standard(M20) Jeskai control was much, much more interesting to play against than RNA's esper control.

Lawnie posted:Questing beast is not as good as bloodbraid elf and doesn’t replace it directly. I think it’s a potential sideboard card for Jund though. It seems more like Thrun than BBE or Huntmaster. It can be. Unlike BBE it can kill and upticked LotV the on the play, and make the sac option impossible on the draw...I would be willing to try one.

Risk Factor is really only a mono red card imo, the problem is that in a deck that even further rewards drawing additional cards it literally just reads 2R: four damage to face, which is only mediocre

A Moose posted:control without counters is always going to be more interesting than control with 8-12 maindeck counterspells. RNA Esper control and jeskai both played counterspells, it's just jeskai's answer cards were a lot more limited, so they actually had to kill you. Permission control isn't that bad to play against anyway, it's mostly what esper did in RNA that was obnoxious.

Lost to a Witch's Oven + Sorcerer's Broom combo in draft today, and like all Magic players who claim something is powerful based on one (1) limited experience with it, I'm ready to declare it as... maybe good if the format really is durdle-y?

Played a bunch on monoblack on arena last night, seems strong and coincidentally likely to survive into an environment that has devotion. With Ayara and Cauldron Familiar being good, this might be a good time for Bloodthirsty Aerialist.

Killed an opponent on turn 4 with Embercleave, through a Queen of Ice adventure.  edit: this was the prerelease - curve was Venerable Knight, into Inspiring Veteran, into Rimrock Knight (plus Adventure), into messed up mythic rare. I'm really tempted to jam it into my (Legacy) cube as more top end for mono red, although I'm also considering Torbran. an_mutt fucked around with this message at 12:32 on Oct 1, 2019 |
