So is this the unofficial standard thread or is there a healthy amount of modern players as well?

Sweet draft tonight, had a grand total of 1 rares in my deck (Blue/Black) but managed to 2-1 & drew for 3rd Lost to 4 Fan Bearers/2 Sandwurm Convergence which was absolutely insane (was not his first draft!) e: Pulled a white God from the prize packs and a Shadow of the Grave which I'm thinking might work in Jeskai Ascendancy...

I heard the new Pro-Mattes from Ultra Pro were better than KMC now, but I'm not sure I bought the right ones. They still have the little holo mark in the bottom right, although they do feel better than the old ones. While I'm on the subject, is there a particular inner sleeve that works better? Anyone know?

So in magic related business has anyone used Saffi Eriksdotter + Reveillark for a nasty combo? With a sacrifice outlet not only do you get the infinite sac effects like Saffi + Renegade Rallier, but you can also return 1 creature with power 2 or less from your graveyard with each iteration. That means you can bring back Fiend Hunter and sacrifice it with its trigger on the stack to permanently exile a creature each iteration, or perform the same maneuver with Tidehollow Sculler to exile cards from your opponent's hand, bring back & sacrifice Fulminator Mage to destroy all of your opponents lands, or even loop Murderous Redcap for infinite damage. Reveillark is an incredible beater that supports the backup plan, and has a powerful ability sans combo. Is this too cute for Abzan Company?

Elyv posted:I think the problem with that idea is that if you want a combo with a 5 drop in your company shell, you could just use spike feeder/archangel of thune and have a 2 piece combo instead of a 3 piece combo. This was the main comparison Pros: Archangel is insane with Finks, Scooze Gains life & puts counters on everything Doesn't require sac outlet or graveyard Cons: Spiker Feeder is a mediocre piece that can be Company'd Reveillark however Pros: 4 power in the air Powerful recursion without combo Incredible synergy with hate bears Combo can lock opponent out of game Cons: Requires a sac outlet & graveyard uninverted posted:Abzan company can win with three cards and six mana, trying to win with four cards and 10+ mana is not a good plan. As above, I was comparing its strengths to those of the Archangel of Thune + Spike Feeder combo. They both require 1 piece that cannot be hit by Company but operates strongly within the shell. They are not the best plan as you say, but I like the idea of a combo available even if 2+ pieces of the primary combo are extracted from the deck I'll get a few reps in with Reveillark in the main vs with Archangel and report back in a few weeks

How does Company fair against Eldrazi Tron & Death's Shadow? They have a combined 20+% of the meta and while Eldrazi seems more like a coin flip with the combo turning on without too many TKS hitting the table, Death's Shadow is full of removal spells you don't want to see.

Elyv posted:I think he means "fat chance that data will become available" Yeah the work you've done is phenomenal, but WotC doesn't like this sort of thing for obvious reasons. Imo kind of a shame because only those really invested few could afford to use it to its full potential & it may cause waves in the meta.

Gonna take Druid Combo to FNM for the first time tonight! First deck I've double-sleeved, and I've been playing practice games and brewing at home for the past couple weeks. Read about the 2x Devoted Druid + Ezuri combo and I'm excited for such a lean & redundant combo deck! Pure GW to start with after testing Abzan & Naya with Finks & Reliquary as the respective `Plan B`s.

mcmagic posted:Random cards off the top of the deck deciding who wins games is not fun gameplay WOTC. Stop making that a thing. Isn't that MtG though? If anything picking one card from the top x cards reduces variance... casting Ulamog for 4 mana & a resource you build around is lame as hell though e: Okay several people on this page just said the same thing, I agree reprint

Aetherworks Marvel combo would be much more entertaining to watch & less frustrating to play against if it was the version with Paradox Engine, Whales, and Lizards Ulamog is just too crazy to cast on any turn

Were CoCo and Marvel too good for Standard? Were there too few answers printed for such powerful 4 mana spells? Curious what will happen when Hour of Devastation drops and there's a 4 mana wrath again
