Yeah I barely had to change my mono-B deck and Graveyard Trespasser was pretty easy to swap out.

quite stretched out posted:yeah it took about 5x the length of any normal game with that deck I’ll give you a funny trick, if you put exactly one Goblin Trapfinder in the deck, it’s a 1-mana creature and when it gets killed you’ll have a 100% chance to seek a Minion with perpetual haste into your hand (without revealing it). The opponent won’t know what you’re up to, and you can slam a hasted kill combo when they tap out or when you have Wild Shape to defend. I’m not sure if it’s a better winrate, but it certainly feels like it is because effectively 5 minions instead of 4 is a lot less mulligans, and the haste catching people with their pants down can’t be overstated (which is why you absolutely want 4 Reckless Charge). Maybe later people will wise up to the setup. I still got Mythic with 8 days to go using that tech, so it’s never not good enough for Mythic in either case.

Does anyone have any suggestions of cool and/or good cards and combos for a Zur historic brawl deck? Mine is pretty fun but so far it mostly consists of using generic ramp to get good enchantments out and then turn them into big dudes to kill the opponent with. I'm looking for flashier and weirder interactions, like turning a saga into a creature and then flickering/reanimating it.

Sanctuary Warden and Soul Diviner let you remove counters from creatures you control, which you can use to repeat non-final chapters on Zurified sagas. Like chapter 2 of Behold the Unspeakable for massive card draw. Or chapter 1 of Elspeth Conquers Death. Or chapter 1 of Fall of the Thran lol.

I'm looking to expand my gameplay and I think Brawl or Historic Brawl could be fun. Can I burn some of my common and uncommon WCs and make a competent deck, or do I need to use a bunch of rares and mythic rares?

You can build competent decks without burning a ton of rare/mythic WCs, but you'll want to stay out of hell queue. That means don't build around the strongest commanders - Golos, Esika, Kinnan, Niv Mizzet Reborn, Sythis to name a few, but there are others. Brawl/HB are singleton formats so building a bunch of decks will take a ton of WCs up front while you get the staples, it's a relatively easy format to build for long-term because you'll have all the basics for each color, color pair, and color slice. I'd suggest picking one or two colors and a strong commander within those for now just to minimize your WC usage, particularly on lands. If you already have a color pair where you have the lands, feel free to expand.

Node posted:I'm looking to expand my gameplay and I think Brawl or Historic Brawl could be fun. Can I burn some of my common and uncommon WCs and make a competent deck, or do I need to use a bunch of rares and mythic rares? singleton formats are very malleable in terms of what cards you "need" to run, since variance means you're likely not going to see a single specific card in most games. the two "must-have" cards for non-mono-color brawl/hbrawl, arcane signet and command tower, are commons as well. finding a legendary creature you like is usually the place where you'll need to spend wildcards, but again needing only one copy makes it a lot easier to spend as long as you have a decent idea of how a mana curve should work, brewing a brawl or hbrawl deck is pretty easy and you get to shove in as many pet cards as you want edit: Shooting Blanks posted:You can build competent decks without burning a ton of rare/mythic WCs, but you'll want to stay out of hell queue.

'hell queue' is a bit of an overstatement and i wouldn't worry too much about it, since the weighting isn't just on commander but also the cards you're running in the deck itself. if you manage to fight a lot of optimized, powerful decks with your homebrew i'd just swap out the commander and see if you fight softer opponents

I like standard brawl a lot and I had fun with it from the get-go when I was starting out with few rares/mythics. If you have enough splashy cards to support doing something powerful with a commander, you can fill out the rest of the deck with removal/value/on-curve stuff. It can even work out to your advantage; if you end up getting to 60 cards with common and uncommon removal it can really mess with decks that totally rely on their commanders. I started out with Golgari/Sultai commanders because I got a Rutstein, Titan of Industry, and Sheoldred from my promo code packs and it was a fun journey upgrading card by card. I suggest looking at what mythics and rares you already have and seeing if something fun presents itself.

Ariong posted:Hey cool, thanks. Does removing the last counter from a saga in response to its trigger prevent it from being sacrificed? I think so! That seems pretty good with Cruelty of Gix. 714.4 If the number of lore counters on a Saga permanent is greater than or equal to its final chapter number, and it isn’t the source of a chapter ability that has triggered but not yet left the stack, that Saga’s controller sacrifices it. This state-based action doesn’t use the stack. So let's say you remove the third counter in response to the final chapter trigger. While the chapter ability is on the stack the saga doesn't get sacrificed. And when the ability resolves the saga has fewer lore counters than its final chapter number so it still doesn't get sacrificed.

So I just have to remove the counter before state-based actions are checked. Excellent.

Can I burn some of my common and uncommon WCs and make a competent deck, or do I need to use a bunch of rares and mythic rares? In addition to what's already been posted, there was a brief discussion a few pages back about "auto-includes" in Historic Brawl for certain colors. They're pretty much all rares or mythics, but (not to state the obvious) they'll go in pretty much nearly any HB deck you'd build: White: Swords to Plowshares Blue: Counterspell (UU cost can be steep for 3+ color decks) Black: Dark Ritual Red: Lightning Bolt Green: Once Upon a Time But to reiterate what's already been said, with HB being a 100 card singleton format, variance is very high and none of these will make or break a deck individually. They're just the cards that you'll almost always use when running those respective colors. Judgy Fucker fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Oct 27, 2022 |

Shrecknet posted:Wash Away is literally more important and also better in Historic Brawl than Counterspell I'll politely disagree since one spell costs less most of the time, but yes that's a good one to go in pretty much any U deck. And it's only an uncommon to craft!

White also has Curse of Silence as an auto include, and I find that a lot of the "disable but not kill" enchantments like Nahiri's Binding are excellent versus a lot of commanders.

I don't auto-include it in my W decks since it really only amounts to a speedbump. Basically if I really need filler for some reason (or I have some way to synergize with card draw or something), I'll play it, otherwise I leave it out. It is a bit of a feelbad card and it can tilt players when played t1 on the play, so it has that going for it.
