Is it worth playing the lands that are tapped if you have two or less in a two-color aggro deck?

Judgy Fucker posted:If you're playing an aggro deck you really don't want any lands that always ETB tapped if you can help it. Ideally you're playing creatures on turns 1, 2, and 3 at least so the earliest you'd be "fine" with a tapland is turn 4, when you don't need it. I meant the Sundown Pass cycle, I don't know if they have a nickname or something. edit: i guess if they'd be bad on turns 1 and 2 that probably answers the question anyway.

big scary monsters posted:I built it and played a few games in the standard play, seems fun. I went +1 Charming Scoundrel, -1 ATftA and slightly different lands just to suit what was already in my collection. Yeah, I think I'd play 4 each of Scoundrel and Spellbook Seller if I had them, but I've been waffling on how much I want to invest in this vs historic brawl

The standard dinosaur deck feels pretty easy to rush down so long as they fail to draw two or more copies of the 3 mana 6/6, so I would appreciate if my opponents would go back to doing that

I'm messing around in timeless bo1 (low platinum) with a monoblack deck with Lurrus and as many bowmasters as I could craft, it's been pretty fun so far Companion 1 Lurrus of the Dream-Den (MUL) 116 Deck 2 Dead Weight (LCI) 99 21 Swamp (LTR) 267 2 Duress (STA) 29 1 Thoughtseize (AKR) 127 4 Shambling Ghast (HBG) 167 3 Bitter Triumph (LCI) 91 4 Mishra's Bauble (BRR) 34 4 Stitcher's Supplier (M19) 121 4 Hopeless Nightmare (WOE) 95 3 Orcish Bowmasters (LTR) 103 3 Skullcap Snail (LCI) 119 2 Stalactite Stalker (LCI) 122 3 Unearth (2X2) 96 4 Scorn-Blade Berserker (MOM) 124 any obvious commons or uncommons to add once I build up some more wildcards?

fadam posted:Fatal Push is pretty well positioned right now, hits a lot of the most annoying/powerful creatures. I would swap your Dead Weights for them at minimum. Bauble works with Lurrus and the Stalactite Stalkers, but I haven't really been short on things to cast with Lurrus I guess.

I've once again fallen into the brain trap were I threw together a deck to gently caress around thinking it would win like 30% of its games but instead it won 60% or something* and now losses have gone from the expected result to a failure that needs to be analyzed and it gets way harder to enjoy playing *Not playing with any kind of stat tracker but I've gone from low plat to 3 ticks from diamond

Johnny Truant posted:why is arena's auto tapping so lovely I think the main thing is it prioritizes holding up activated abilities of permanents on the field over mana for cards in hand, which leads to a lot of stupid interactions with abilities on mana sources. It also really doesn't want you to take damage off painlands if you don't have to.

The RW tokens deck is the main deck I play in standard ranked and it isn't that bad for rarity; no necessary mythics (although cavern of souls is quite helpful) and the only really uncuttable rares are Knight-Errant of Eos and Sanguine Evangelist. I don't have the bunnies so I just play with Sunshot Militias instead, for example. I've only cast the enchantment side of Virtue once and I lost that game. You could swap out Warden of the Inner Sky for more Lunarch Veterans and probably do better against monored.

Weird scenario I ran into in limited just now; I had multiple creatures die under Illicit Masquerade, one of which was a disguised Defenestrated Phantom. I had another Defenestrated Phantom already in my graveyard. The first trigger was from the Phantom that died on field, which I used to target the Phantom in my yard. The second trigger saw both of the phantoms, and I wasn't sure how to tell which one I had already targeted from the selection screen. Is the most recent one go into the graveyard on the right? That's what I guessed and it seemed to work out, but the cards were arranged in mana value order. e: Also thank you to my fellow bronze/silver drafters and the shuffler for letting me draft all 15 rares I saw and still go 6-3 Eeevil fucked around with this message at 02:48 on Feb 12, 2024 |

If a creature has to block if able and you attack into it with a menace creature when they have a second blocker, does that force a double block or does it count as being unable to block?

So far it hasn't seemed that hard for the UW deck to win against RW if it gets any of its infinite creature engines online. Only game I had against RW that felt really unfair was the time they drew 2 Fencing Ace 2 Monstrous Rage but That's Magic For You

odiv posted:Arena just got me. I thought I was being smart by choosing a creature with Disguise to "incorporate" and then the cost to cast the creature face down was 4G instead of 3. The casting cost wasn't increased, the card gained "This spell costs 1G more to cast." It doesn't actually cost more, the UI just lies to you

Just had a huge close call of a misplay that fortunately my opponent didn't spot. Cast Extract a Confession into a Teysa and since they didn't have anything else on board, I figured I didn't need to collect evidence. Only once the spell was on the stack did I realize they had a Pipe they could sacrifice to make a spirit and save the Teysa.

Maybe this is a scrubby opinion but I feel like Brawl would be better if they blanket banned cards that tutor the same way they do with Pithing Needle effects, feels like it goes against the spirit of singleton
