Kild posted:So you made that dumbass post as a reference to a dumbass post that says that this guy confuses you for a black guy? no, I'm referencing where I pointed out that Christopher Rush depicted Barrin, a character who is otherwise depicted as white, using the same colours and shading he uses for the man on the art of Imprison, which means the race of the character on the second card is ambiguous @tom clancy is dead: you doofus, having this argument is literally showing how the card is problematic, and I'm trying to discuss that, not issue some blanket decree that it shouldn't be removed

Trying to veer away from all the  posting happening right now, RB Sac continues to be good. Peaked mid 400 with it, only losing so far to Mono R (close 3 games) and Jund Citadel (just out card advantaged). It feels like a good deck in the current midrange meta.

Are they afraid of a white card that says destroy all black creatures? I guess you could read it as having racial connotations maybe? If you don't have any contextual understanding of magic at all, or why the game uses colour theory? Arivia posted:I can see that, but I don't think removing things solely for being a bad look when they have a justifiable origin inside the game itself for other reasons is a good idea. Arivia posted:Right, that's what I'm pointing out - putting the line at "feels awkward" is very different from "deliberately invokes prejudice or hatred in any way in its flavour" (art: invoke prejudice; text: stone-throwing devils). I think it's worrying if WotC puts the line at the former instead of the latter. Arivia posted:Is he black? A quick look at scryfall turns up other art by Christopher Rush with similar skin tones, light, and heavy shading: uh huh Tom Clancy is Dead fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Jun 11, 2020 |

Cats might actually be a tier 2.5 deck or something in Pioneer or Modern. I can see not a lot, but many decks having trouble against an "always on" artifact + enchantment destruction.

Ersatz posted:I've been trying to tune my own RB sac deck in the current meta, and would be curious to see your list if you wouldn't mind sharing it. It's a pretty stock list that I found floating around that arena decklists twitter account: .JPG) The SB here actually feels pretty good. I've never had a reason to board in Theater of Horrors, so I'd probably change it a little bit but not by much. At first I thought it was weird to have Jegantha in there, but there actually have been games where having a 5/5 is enough to finish off a game.

This was a budget Pioneer deck written about in Pioneer's early days- https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/2633002#paper GW without a combo kill is just too fair and really misses Path to Exile. That said I was playing around with a list like this with a pre-nerf Kaheera Companion and enjoying it. You could cut the more expensive Cats for 4 of this guy and 2-3 Lurrus for some extra card advantage, and even still run Kaheera just for yucks.

Is Jegantha just there as a 5/5 you can draw eventually?

I’ve been on Sacdos for a while. It seems good, I’m gonna try to put in reps on it before the qualifier on the 20th. Definitely great in BO1. If you can stick a Mayhem Devil against MonoR you basically win on the spot. Free hint: if you have another three drop and a Passage, run that poo poo out first and use passage for a free ping.

Something about the art was bothering me, so I had a hunch. It's the first Spider in Magic history to be portrayed walking on a ceiling, unless I'm missing some alternate art for these cards.

Miscast seems like a sb card for a very proactive deck against a very reactive deck, which is rarely what Standard is about these days but might come up some. It helps push threats through counters, protects them against removal, and stops wraths. In that specific context, it's significantly better than Spell Pierce - think about the difference between Mana Leak and Quench. However most of the time it's pretty medium, as a lot of the answers in Standard are proactive permanents that play to the board. You can't rely on this in Flash when instead of trying to cast a removal spell the opponent is likely to slam an Uro or Questing Beast, and it doesn't stop format defining answers like Teferi or ECD.

Lurrus isn’t amazing, neither is midnight reaper most of the time too Might go well in Dimir Flash shells eventually where you can hold up Borrower, Slitherwisp, or Bearer on turn 3. Enough good flash 3 drops for sure. Losing Brineborn Cutthroat and Spectral Sailor will hurt but Blacklance Paragon is a hell of a card and Cunning Nightbonder is.... well it exists.

It's kindof interesting since Knight is a relevant creature type. I feel like for the main use cases of this card (wrath insurance, post-alpha strike) I'd probably rather have Unbreakable Formation though for the current format.

It's good for exactly the situation where you have a strong board already and suspect a board clear and don't want to overcommit, and where reaper might be countered. What I don't like about it is that I'm incentivized to hold on to this forever waiting for the perfect moment. It's bad for tempo unlike reaper. And it doesn't draw from itself like reaper.

He synergizes really well with big Lili from WAR, and that Hydra works well with Wildborn Preserver. Edit: Stonecoil Serpent, too
