constructed wise doesnt seem like a very control friendly set or did i miss anything obvious? blue seems kind of bad in general and creatures are really strong. no real u/w finisher either.

Shrecknet posted:control is always weakest just after rotation before they get all their toys. always forget this widsom. remember when dimir control with that 5 mana ward dragon was good? lol. Rogue AI Goddess posted:How do you feel about Haughty Djinn and Serra Paragon? they might be good for now just like the blue ward dragon was last rotation but i dont think theyre nearly strong enough (compared to like dream trawler and shark typhoon etc). i doubt theyll print anything that strong with hullbreaker still legal but hullbreaker is also low key fuckin bad and also totally unfun to play with

i dont know if its the best but gw has been fun af for me. white has so much removal. also the green 6/6 that puts counters on everything when you play a green card is so stupid

this set seems way more intuitive than past sets to me. idk if im just getting lucky but im typically p average and my drafts so far have been successful. the synergy is pretty obvious and i typically "get" what kind of deck i should be making with colors. more advanced drafters might find that boring probably but it makes me feel Smart. also yeah still havent played constructed this set but ive lost every limited game where opp resolves sheoldred. lots of the white and black removal hits her but i never seem to have the right card when shes on board

will read that long post in a minute cause it seems helpful but after a handfull of drafts my observations are that you either need 1000 pieces of removal or draft green but preferably both

everyone is playing the monob deck because it doesnt need rare lands and is mostly old cards while every other deck needs like 16 rare lands alone on top of everything else. people think its strong because discarding feels bad and its everywhere and maybe it is but its also like day 5 of the format

black is just really good right now. having a good time with an esper controlly midrange deck ive been using. ive been starting to feel like although the white cards are really good at face value atm are kind of bad and bait in control shells. wedding announcement buys a little time but tear asunder/invoke despair/that one werewolf creature are literally everywhere. wandering emperor is gas but doing the -2 on trespasser feels terrible and no one attacks with sheoldred when u have 4 mana up. farewell owns i have nothing bad to say about that card. anyways i might cut white back but with all that said even with cut down raffine is gas and imo void rend is super underrated with all these trespassers and other ward creatures running around. hard to decide if white is worth it rn, dunno if there are other cards im forgetting

reignonyourparade posted:Fable isn't going to eat a ban because broadly speaking people LIKE what it's been doing to the format. Midrange valuetown opens up space for a LOT of different decks within midrange valuetown and Fable is a giant part of that. Like when Divide by Zero ate a ban for Alrund Epiphany and Hullbreaker Horror's sins, it wasn't just because Divide by Zero was a really good card, it was because people loving hated what the blue decks were doing to the format. fable can eat my dick balls and rear end op

youre literally braindead if you dont put bankbuster in your deck and fable is so ubiquitous people splash red for it alone but hyeah lets ban the card at random not even all black decks play for reasons we cant even articulate

flatluigi posted:i thought their reasoning in the article was fine? it's still played a lot and it's made playing any small creature deck over the last year hell. still gotta fear farewell but at least you're not actively hosed if you want to play tokens anymore i think there are plenty of other reasons why aggro sucks rear end right now with meathook being like #9 on the list and banning it just makes problematic cards in the format even more problematic. idk what world youre living in where you think this will make fable worse do you feel good using a whole card to remove a fable token? do you tihink wedding announcement and wandering emperor needed to be even stronger than they already are? single target removal has never seemed worse as long as ive been on arena (graveyard trespasser sanctuary warden titan of industry ao etc etc) and i dont think lacking meathook makes it any better?? also the only good single removal is infernal grasp which is also still black anways????????

if banning meathook changes anything at all ill come in this thread with my hand up and be the first to say im dumb and wrong but i dont think itll do anytbjng to make any of these bxx midrange decks any less godlike or make any of the aggro creatures any less bad .

thats what happens when wotc doesnt put control enders in their sets. you think you hate dream trawler or whatever because you think its snatching victory from you automatically on turn 10 but in actuality you lost as soon as you hit turn 10 against control anyways whether you knew it or not. you should have conceded 20 turns ago but didnt have the out so your pride doesnt let you.

my first draft i went blue/black cause no one was taking it but now i know why no one was taking it. next i went white red aggro but that turned out to not really be a thing and got 4 wins. drafted the new emporer and never drew it. sad! next i went white black and got six wins. this is apparently a thing. i drafted the new kaya and resolved it once. opp instant conceded i dont know how yall draft green cards i dont think ive ever seen one. i have like 8 more wins until i break out of gold and 0-3 every draft so looking forward to try and find one

Somberbrero posted:I've played against a couple of these with simic poison and have been able to get under them with poison before they went off, I was wondering what the game plan was. early game survival for the deck is based off lifegain and counterspells rather than making blockers so yeah if simic toxic is on the play and has a couple phase out/hexproof spells its basically an impossible matchup. you lose with 30 life on turn 5 unless you get lucky and are able to resolve a board wipe/march. with the lifegain and card draw built in the game plan is basically to prolong the game as long as you need for the opponent to run out of gas and to leverage mindsplice with syncopate/silver scrutiny/whitesun. eventually you can draw so many cards and gain so much life youre able to just let your opponent to full on attack you and resolve huge creatures while you draw until you find the whitesun/depopulate. the primary wincon is technically poison tokens but id guess 98% of my games are won from the opponent just conceding by turn 10. the longest games are typically with superfriends-type decks where opp thinks theyve won because they have elspeth, teferi, and both wanderers resolved but you keep wiping and keep lifegaining until you win. ive only won one game by decking my opponent with devious coverup but that is a last resort.

Sassy Sasquatch posted:I tried playing explorer a bit for variety, it's just monogreen ramp as far as the eye can see, isn't it ? I'm looking at my stats for confirmation and it's like 75% of the meta there. Maybe Bo3 is different though, I haven't tried that. i pretty much play just explorer and came back after a long break and only queue up now when i feel like playing against it. i would have guessed its 3/4 of my matches but its nice you actually got the evidence.

odinson posted:Any tips about using it? i like to board it in control mirrors and sometimes even spirits since they will board in a gazillion counterspells. cast it with mana to protect it usually in the form bouncing it back to yourself to fizzle whatever removal targeted it. esper will maybe still have vanishing verse and uw may keep removal for it as well. control mirrors can come down to whoever can find and cast it first, it's a loving nightmare to deal with. i prefer dream trawler against creature and midrange decks but maybe that's technically wrong.

resistentialism posted:shouldn't you be playing proctor on turn 3 and then immediately play lotus field? there's no opportunity to kill it before its trigger goes off yeah thats the lotus uw control play pattern but im talking about the pioneer combo archetype version where you use lotus and cheap untap effects to infinite mana your way into second sun/omniscience/peer etc. in pioneer you have hidden strings to untap your lotuses without much interaction available to your opponent. in explorer without hidden strings you have to use creatures to untap the lotuses but they can be killed easily so its less reliable
