Doesn't really matter how cheap the dead cards in your hand and deck are. The actual opportunity cost are the good cards that could be in those slots.

On maindeckability: uh no? Aren't cards useful for a narrow, specific matchup the quintessential sideboard card? Negate and Disdainful Stroke are broader options.

Been playing against this deck for months. It's just alternating Lolth and Blood on the Snow. I think it is lame as hell. I wish there was a different black deck in the meta but alas.

This particular one has some green cards in there. Wrenn is better than Skeleton Swarming probably.

I honestly thought they wouldn't touch standard now that alchemy exists, so I'm pleased at this.

Hullbreaker is insane for sure but it's not unbeatable and it's nice that blue gets a win condition other than taking all the turns or whatever Lier does.

Is this the same bug with Skalds that's been in forever?
For example you go face with a burn spell, triggering Skalds to put a counter on a creature. Your opponent responds by removing the creature and your burn spell disappears.

This just in from the junk rare news desk: another Patchwork Crawler has hit the format.

Idk if it's being the last set before rotation or my inexperience with 3 color cards but most of the set looks so bad. Too expensive, color wise or just the regular way.

That said, every black two drop in standard, besides Adversary, suck rear end so Tenacious Underdog would go straight into my black aggro deck.

Not sure you can make a good dimir control deck atm but the challenger deck can certainly be upgraded.

Invoke Despair
Tainted Indulgence

just glanced at prices on scrfall and these seem kinda expensive :shrug:
1x Takenuma
1x Otawara

Rules probably aren't out for this yet, but nevertheless: if you cast something for it's prototype cost, does the prototype cost become the card's casting cost? E.G., does Phrexian Fleshgorger become black if cast as a prototype, or does it stay colorless? Does it become MV3, or does it stay at 7? My reading is "stays seven and colorless," but am unsure.

if you flicker it, does it come in as the 7 mana version?

I hate that there are cards legal in Standard you can't get from draft boosters. I hate that there are certain cards that show up once in a while that reach the level of meta playable that you can't get while drafting.

These jumpstart cards are safely constructed unplayable so whales don't buy all the products for new players.

Diabolic Intent seems quite good in Greasefang. I was wondering if it was going to find a home anywhere outside of meme decks. I think the deck is still pretty bad right now tho, although I don't mind it against Mono G.

I play a couple in rakdos anvil to get first anvil, second anvil, mech. warfare. Completely synergistic and better than any draw spell. I don't think many people are hip to this tech for some reason.

Drawing cards is harder than it seems. Impulse or memory deluge doesn't do it. Are you casting the draw spell on your own turn or are you specifically looking to draw two on your opponents turn?

I'd put Faerie Vandal in a deck with Ledger Shredder and 3 mana Kaito, but I don't know if that deck is actually doing anything.

6-mana sweeper that can be one-sided (and flip immediately) in some situations probably plays, though you wouldn't overload on it.

Huge foundational card for bad black control decks in standard. Will see loads of play.

2 for 1 myself by countering an ETB trigger instead of the spell.
