That's a spicy addition to my peasant wizards deck.

I'm dropping 4 of them into my pauper RDW, in place of Flame Burst. Essentially a 2 CMC, 2 damage sorcery to the dome that leaves a 2/1 creature behind is magnificent, even if it can't target creatures.

edit: also Banding is simple as hell: Banding creatures' controller chooses how incoming damage to the banded creatures gets distributed. There, I just demystified an archaic mechanic in 13 words.

Multani's problem is that everything relevant kills it completely dead. It has a recursion ability that isn't even good because for whatever reason they printed Scarab God and Hazoret so removal that doesn't exile is super bad.

I'm a filthy casual, so this is just a dumb fun jank deck. Plus i'm trying to stay away from cards that are being rotated out, but i'd throw in Fling and drop Rabid Bite if I was trying to go for something more competitive. Regisaur Alpha is getting subbed in for Huatli, though. I realized that her free dinosaur per turn isn't really worth taking up a 5-slot when the Alpha gives a free dino but also gives every other dino Haste for the same cost, and without needing to provide a third color to enable Huatli.

Also Gigantosaur's CC is basically a non-factor in a deck with 8 dorks and 4 stones. He can pop out on turn 3 at the earliest, turn 4 on average.

You're playing 11 lands that tap for green out of 20 total lands. Your poo poo isn't getting cast. Also, it's WAY easier to cast Ghalta than it is to cast Gigantosaurus. Just jam 4 Ghalta 4 Flings and go to town.

Attack with Ghalta, cast a second Ghalta, Fling with Ghalta on the stack actually sounds sick.

Ok yeah, that does sound sick as hell

Also semi-related: I recently learned about a format called Rainbow Stairwell. Your 60-card deck must have 6 cards going up from CMC 1-6 for each color (ex: W, 1W, 2W, 3W, 4W, 5W; no multicolor spells, though hybrid mana is okay as long as it counts for ONLY one of your spells in the other color columns) and 6 colorless spells/artifacts (which I assume also must be consecutively costed?), the rest being lands. It is a singleton format too, so no duplicate colorless spells. X spells are also illegal.

It's kind of intriguing to consider what you'd put in a deck like that given the constraints and still have something fairly synergistic.

Sounds like it should just be called Affinity Singleton, since what the hell else would work with a 5C spread like that? :v:

edit: maybe Slivers?

This gets into industrychat because said chud is apparently naming Matt Fantastic (designer of Expancity) as the guy who 'attacked' him and is currently trying to get his crowd of gamergaters and alt-knights to harass the GenCon livestream until they kick him out of the con.

Taking a look at this rear end in a top hat's YouTube channel I have to assume this was his plan in coming to the con at all.

Well - that's the way to win on Arena now. If you can play a deck that basically functions while having very few redemption targets, you get matched against a bunch of "terrible versions of staple decks" and "garbage fires that include a few staple cards", and you win.

I love ruining days with my now-mostly-blinged-out Turbo Fog deck, but I'm quite sure my win rate is higher with "Black 1 Drop.dec" (which I built just to quickly pass 'cast 30 black spells' quests) or Banefire Elves.... and it's not because those are better decks.

If you really just want to win Arena Freeplay, the best deck is probably a very-out-of-favor older deck - like, Dynavolt Tower or something. B- power level, but shares very few rares with current popular decks.

Agreed. I've been having a blast with my mono-G Mushroom Tribal deck, since I mostly get paired up against B/G Constrictor, W/G Cats, U/G Merfolk and janky R/G Dinosaurs or Dragons decks.

TBH, given Maro's comments about shoving all ten guilds into one set being a failure, I fully expect them to do tricolor stuff in the third set as a way to neatly sidestep that particular problem
