I am so satisfied with Jeskai's work today. I'm really happy I finished off the list before the results hit, I feel like narset/charm/mantis rider may be seeing a sharp increase afterwords.

Narset flipped what I believe were two Jeskai Charms and a Dig Through Time. I missed the fourth, but drat are those three obscene. E:FB

Cernunnos posted:You can still put silly deck names down but for coverage reasons they won't display that and instead display [color(s)] [strategy]. Those Jeskai "Tempo" decks probably had different names but were put up as Tempo because that's what they looked like to someone somehow. I also think they are more on the side of burn than any other particular archetype. It runs the most efficient burn, and backs it up with creatures that try to push efficient value. Id love it if someone tries pushing swiftspears and seeing how it goes, I decided against bringing this to Worcester after I saw painlands being the same price as shocks.

Couldn't they have gotten sonething other than McDonald's though? This may sound like looking a gift horse in the mouth, but I would agree that serving that sort of thing is questionable. A nice gesture to be sure though. More mtg related; I've been play testing the 16 land super sligh deck posted in the brew thread and I love love love it. It's so low to the ground and so bleeding fast that In getting right under abzan midrange and jeskai alike. Titan strength and coordinated assault have put the fear of God into courser players when I declare attackers. The decision making is also a lot of fun, altogether very enjoyable to play so far, highly recommend it. Deofuta fucked around with this message at 00:02 on Oct 8, 2014 |

mr. mephistopheles posted:*Dirt cheap if you already have the stupid expensive modern manabase. Getting cheaper every day with fetches reprint, and you can work around alliance fetchlands if you need to. This is especially true with shock lands at the cheapest they will ever be. They trade one on one for some standard pain lands, which is insane.

It has a lot of components that I was looking at for an abzan reanimator deck. I don't think I could give up on my Ashen Riders though, and of course the courser/caryatid package would be a pain to obtain.

On Turn four or five, with lethal on board next turn and no creatures on field, the jeskai heroic combo player goes off infinite with a top decked springleaf drum. This deck is sweet. A very fun deck to watch, probably the worst thing to lose to in this kind of format.

I used to play skred red quite a bit, and I was using stormbreath more and more over Thunder maw because protection from white is just nuts in the format. Not only does it shut down path, but it also laughs at angel pod, which at the time I was playing was the most popular local version. One day I'll have to put it back together and try other alternatives like demigod of revenge and inferno titan.

It may be awkward because it occupies the same cmc as courser as well as a bit of reach when it comes to mana at 3 separate colors while courser costs 2g.

I'll happily accept 2 bolts in a trade for a stormbreath. The monstrosity ability has also been a thing in longer matches.

qbert posted:That's funny, they interviewed Utter-Leyton earlier, and he said a "good" storm deck in VMA is basically unbeatable. I believe he was asked if he could draft a perfect deck, it would be storm. He then went on to say it's very diffucult to actually draft it and win. Something like that at least.

Miracles got caught out, both decks involve a lot of interaction but sometimes poo poo doesn't work out. Blue green infect is awesome because it's not just jamming the turn 2 kill, it features a huge package of blue spells designed to deal with the possible counter thrusts of the opponent and to give it enough resiliency for the long haul. In short, it's a fun legacy deck and in the long and thick of it I think it can be considered tier 1.

That demon reveal has me thinking I want a mono black deck revolving around him, master of the feast, and Herald of torment. Maybe an aggro shell? Although 5 cmc may be too high of a curve for that.

Fingers McLongDong posted:A new monoblack devotion or midrange, depending on whether you decide to try running gray merchant as well? I'll certainly be looking for new black cards in this set to make something similar happen. Monoblack aggro is a fun deck, although it's definitely tier 2 at this point. Do you suppose bitter revelations is enough of a card draw engine? Is it all there is in mono black nowadays?

Ebethron posted:It struck me as being similar to Hellspark Elemental, but maybe my evaluation is off. Sounds reasonable. Where it lacks trample it makes up for it in greater possible recursion and a threat which doesn't hurt your card advantage. I like it, although hell spark elemental has lost its place to better red cards in modern at the moment.

I chose jeskai and opened two of the trample haste red common dragon, the legendary blue white dragon, and 4 of the mill dragons. I splashed green for the enchantment that grants all flying units the fight etb and had a blast. Highlight of the night was casting the red dragon, fighting the opponents biggest dude, and then flashing in jeskai barricade to bounce it back to hand after combat.

A pack a win has always been how my lgs handles prerelease and release nights as far as I know, and it makes sense as these events are supposed to be the most welcoming and casual events. Wizards probably wants more of the newer folks leaving with a pack or two rather than the spikes taking the Lions share.
