[subtle sierra]

this looks playable-ish with a new account, you just need to make a few cuts

it won't be as consistent but if you wanna just check if you like the playstyle it's fine

you could do like 3 onslaught 1 brawler, add more brawler if you open 5 mythics, and a 4th onslaught if you luck out with 6

idk if quantum is that important here

he just sounds like a draw 1

cause trailblazer already draws

for rares you can do 3 outcaster 3 battlecrier 1 winternight 1 smugglers, then make more esper/winternight if you open more rares

that's how i approach building with a new account

and believe me i did that a lot lol

[subtle sierra]

LMAO

[copper pecan]

lol

[subtle sierra]

this is like the only reason this card is even viable now is cause the new spiderman enters as a copy but is actually cast

[trail anvil]

it turns out, reading the card

[fallow citrus]

I like when you have get lost and they only have ardyn to give them haste so you just stop their turn doing anything

[subtle sierra]

i like when i have rest in peace

[fallow citrus]

well yeah

[fallow citrus]

just played against the weirdest deck ever

abzan outrageous robbery control

just decked me out by playing them for insane mana costs when I didn't have any counters up

[twilit canyon]

why abzan

wtf

[fallow citrus]

no fucking idea

they were doing nothing so I just had to start slapping creatures down and I think they played the white just for DoJ

was very annoying to play against though because I only have 8 creatures and 2 anchorage (thanks wildcards)

so I just couldn't put the damage on to kill them

[past socket]

Did you get robbed of that game?

[fallow citrus]

I would feel bad even saying that's an UNOvven joke

[sleek ferry]

This is what I played

[twilit canyon]

why

[past socket]

I will embrace the corniness of that joke

[sleek ferry]

Abzan just had the best overall control answers for the robbery deck when I built it , since you can play stuff like cease/desist, all 3 of the good overlords, beanstalk at the time

Nowadays I wouldn’t touch the deck without beanstalk

[twilit canyon]

interesting logic. i dont think i agree but i can see why it would look like that and yeah ig u do get the 3 best overlords

[steady onyx]

@twilit canyon hear me out... https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/standard-temur-control-woe#paper
this deck looks fucking sick as shit i know its prob horrible and unplayable and holy shit why would you play something not named vivi, but i wanna proxy the missing cards and run this shit

it looks CLEAN

[twilit canyon]

why would i need to hear you out tho

we all know vivi is dying in a few weeks

[steady onyx]

idk man

im jsut dissapointed in myself big time after rcq

and need some drugs (aka bad decklists)

to feel better

[twilit canyon]

shrug it off

its just an rcq

[steady onyx]

well yeah i know

like i just wish i played better, idrc not winning topping whatever

i just feel like i owed myself better

:P

[twilit canyon]

thats different of course

tho i think if anything, just focus on your play

dont worry about the bad decks

[steady onyx]

yes im going to

i just think i had a bad idea of how my deck played

[twilit canyon]

huh

in what way?

[steady onyx]

i think i was playing the deck to controlly when at the end of the day my list leaned def a bit more aggro, and i thik its reasonable for me to trade creatures 1v1 v most decks

i wasnt attacking enouhg i think

and like rying to pray on a drawn ouroboid to win me the game

[twilit canyon]

mmm

a common mistake for midrange

and i can see the logic too cus u expected a lot into control

[steady onyx]

yeah

so i felt like i had to paly slower but like into non controlly decks i trade super well into them and like genemorph is a hell of a card

like holy shit that cards insane

[twilit canyon]

for sure

i think the thing to focus for midrange

is play it as aggressive as possible

even when logic dictates you shouldnt

play it this way for a while

and then come back to reel back

[steady onyx]

yeah, i played a couple games after with some friends who play midrange a lot more then i do

and they helped me thru just tlaking more how to play deck on a big level

[twilit canyon]

knowing when to be proactive with midrange makes a ton of sense

and thats something u pick up with more exp

[steady onyx]

but i think i get the gist now and will play more

one other thing was they were all like WTF BRO U ON LIKE 2 RTMEOVAL SPELLS TF SONGKASNO

but idk i likethe lsit so prob not gonna change

flood maw feels shit into control because aintno way im bouncing beza shiko marang any of them and like its only there to bounce the starcage so meh

[twilit canyon]

just 2 removal spells is fine

ultimately

yeah

i wouldnt worry too much

[steady onyx]

yeah imma just keep list same and play it more to practice

[twilit canyon]

tho again, more exp with midrange, even if the simic lists are more aggressive than usual midrange, will only benefit u long term

[steady onyx]

yes yes yes

rdw won btw

with dimir second

:p

[twilit canyon]

rdw is just too good into vivi

[steady onyx]

we had 0 vivi whihc was funny lol

i think iirc
esper midrange
dimir midrange
simic midrange
golgari midrange
4c control
Jeskai control
UB control
rabbits aggro
rda
the spellsplitter combo based shit

[sleek ferry]

Hold up lmfaooo

[zinc shard]

You son of a bitch. I'm in

[steady onyx]

idk but does it not looked based

the doppelgang

the assualt

[subtle sierra]

It's a combo deck that shits itself when it sees either aggro or control

[sleek ferry]

It does not. Deck is trying to do too many different things

[zinc shard]

Alchemy rebalance

[fallow citrus]

I think the rebalance should be just not printing it again

[golden plover]

That's how it should've been from the fucking start smh

Also probably still a mana too cheap

[zinc shard]

also Meathook Massacre and Fires of Invention have been reverted

[twilit canyon]

I’ve been telling everybody, I think Avatar’s power level is going to be pretty up there as far as standard sets go

[steady onyx]

idk i disagree with u

personally i love those arts

but idk

[sleek ferry]

I agree with Aeri, but the bonus sheet screenshot arts are literally meant to appeal to fans of the IP

So in that sense they’re fine

[fallow citrus]

yeah I get that

[steady onyx]

but i dont like the ip

[fallow citrus]

I just think it's the epitome of laziness for one

[steady onyx]

because of the art

[fallow citrus]

like they've been scaled down to fit the card art and you can just tell

[sudden lava]

Get used to it, there is 61 of them in the set

[fallow citrus]

ok?

weirdly passive aggressive response

[sudden lava]

I would say, this one looks better (I dont like screenshot art either) at least

[sleek ferry]

Yeah ofc I get it. But as far as they go, since they’re part of the bonus sheet and don’t cut into actual alt arts in the set, they’re fine for that (also has been letting them pop out more reprints so there’s that also)

[sudden lava]

yeah at least it gives more reprints

but they can also do that without screenshots

[fallow citrus]

the only upside is they put the cards in arena

[sudden lava]

Avatar gonna be on Arena as is, or UW art?

Like are we gonna get Peach Fleem

[subtle sierra]

oh and oh god you can evoke this then superior spider man it back for 4 for both modes

[twilit canyon]

iirc it'd be sequential order

bounce first, discard second

[subtle sierra]

Oh damn that sucks

I'd really want to discard the thing that got bounced

[twilit canyon]

you can

it'd bounce first, then it discards. you resolve the bounce then the discard

[subtle sierra]

But if it's sequential, wouldn't that be bounce first on stack, discard second, resolve backwards?

[twilit canyon]

given how the card text works, im p sure that the card resolves the opposite bc of how the abilities are worded

gimme a sec i have a judge on hand i can text

[subtle sierra]

Uhh if you can't pick the order i don't really see how this bounces first then discard given the text, maybe magic is weird

[twilit canyon]

wait duh it would let you pick since they happen at the same time on cast and then on etb

i sent a text and asked elsewhere too

[subtle sierra]

Ye they have the same trigger

[twilit canyon]

well he just said unreleased so we dont technically have the actual rules list for the card but we can assume it'd work that u can pick bc they happen at the same time

got second confirmation u would be able to choose

[subtle sierra]

Well it makes it a cute piece of removal then

Even if it costs 6

[twilit canyon]

control players will love this one

[glad peak]

i think you get to choose as they're separate triggers and you can place them however you want

[subtle sierra]

I'm thinking of maybe moving from azorius to dimir

Both omen dragons for dimir are cute

And black has about as much removal

And you could run the exhales

[steady onyx]

i feel esper personally but idk black does have some fine boardwipes

[subtle sierra]

I kinda tend to hate 3 color decks

Only one i really liked was sultai ultimatum ages ago

[steady onyx]

fair enough

[twilit canyon]

dimir unfort is gonna lose to azorius in many spots but, depending on the stuff we get, should be better elsewhere

[steady onyx]

idk just the only thing that scares me abt control is boardwipes ngl

[subtle sierra]

I don't run overlord or elspeth so my "wincon" being beza and marang puts it around the same

Removal wise they're fine besides black not having enchantment removal

But black is cheaper resource wise due to no map spam

I'd say the draw power is about the same

[steady onyx]

oh fair enough

[subtle sierra]

Black has good boardwipes but they tend to be more expensive or have caveats like scavenger regent

On paper it sounds about the same but ehhh

[trail anvil]

the singular time I'm glad alchemy rebalances show up on brawl

[fallow citrus]

I love how every deck that plays the thoughtseize bat always opens up 2

just had the worst set of games in bo1 ever

I need to build something that isn't uw control for it I'm going to go insane

[trail anvil]

yeah uw control for bo1 sounds like masochism to me idk

[fallow citrus]

I think bo1 standard just sucks regardless rn honestly

[trail anvil]

I mean if aggro is farming bo3 already I figure there's not much chance for other decks anyways

also damn wizards stop being cowards, move xho cai to 2 mana like that leaked version

[subtle sierra]

I just played vs this and the deck is hot ass I'm afraid

Even with my shit dimir control concept

The deck not only shits itself to counters, it shits itself to removal

And if you aggro them they will die before the combo

That deck only works if the metagame is midrange turbo but even then

It's soooo fucking greedy

If you want a combo deck play superior reanimator

Deck's basically a midrange with a combo to push for game they have to play around

[atomic harness]

Thank you

[subtle sierra]

Yeah good combo should run some cards that aren't only combo pieces but work on their own

yes

[glad peak]

No it’s gonna be air, water, and earth too

[trail anvil]

-2

[trail anvil]

I feel like this could've been 2 mana maybe?

both of these cards are pretty cool though

[sleek ferry]

nah, prowess + stun lock on 2 mana would have been crazy

and it has flash lol

[trail anvil]

ig yeah, maybe I'm just too modern horizon brained

[tardy echo]

Prowess and flash both normally understat a creature

So 2/1 seems pretty fine idk

[sleek ferry]

This set should have Bloomburrow level implications on standard’s meta, calling it now

[sudden lava]

Blue was the last color I expected from Ty Lee

[subtle sierra]

eh she stuns

stun is mostly blue

makes sense to me

but ig not the first thought that comes to mind

but red doesn't work for her imo

unless the red part is only to give her haste or smth

[tardy echo]

Well I’m personally glad they’re not just giving every fire nation person red every earth nation person green etc

[glad peak]

But but

Fire is red

And leaf is green

[sleek ferry]

Well firebending is technically both red and black right now

[tardy echo]

I think thematically fire nation would very much make sense as mardu colors

But blue for Ty Lee also still is fine

[subtle sierra]

me when i play gen 3 remakes of gen 1

[lusty trench]

[sudden lava]

yeah red for haste would make sense

also why is she ally?

[subtle sierra]

this was leaked months ago

[sudden lava]

officially revealed*

[steady onyx]

u better give me some spicy lists mr thugs

[sudden lava]

good part about Ty Lee's typeline though, we're nearly confirmed for goated episode as a commander

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G4W0ywLasAQefDV?format=png&name=small

Unless this is season 3 Ty Lee (Post Hundred Year War, aka after she officially joins the Kyoshi Warriors), there is no other character for this typeline except Ember Island Players

[subtle sierra]

well she's an ally

[sudden lava]

for some reason.
But yeah good shot at goated episode as a commander

[subtle sierra]

well the reason is quite obvious

she's fighting the fire nation in the prision

in the art

[sudden lava]

what

Unless I am misremembering the Boiling Rock Part 2

But girl is still at this moment in Azula's Gang.
Unless Ally is not only good aligned (like they are going with "Well she is an Ally of Azula")

[last glen]

could be a compositing of her character

[subtle sierra]

the bell thing is literally in the episode

and the soldiers are running towards her to fight her

wtf are you on about summer

lmao

[last glen]

being depicted primarily in her role as an antagonist throughout the main series
but leaving space open for synergies with the heroes so you can play her as a good guy

memory serves me right
she betrays Azula right at the end of the arc

[subtle sierra]

she betrays her in this very episode

[sudden lava]

One betrayal makes ally I guess? But like same episode she was also fighting Team Avatar.

[subtle sierra]

summer

the art literally depicts her after her betrayal

[sudden lava]

Yes I get that

Also I wonder if this means we will get a Grixis Azula

[tardy echo]

Nothing abt azula is blue

Besides her cool blue fire

I guess they could give her blue just bc of that but it would feel odd

[sudden lava]

Azula is extremely calculated

Also blue flames, but mostly the above

[subtle sierra]

i don't really see her being anything else but rakdos tbh

but we'll see

Can't you just sac a bunch of food in one go and then search a ton of land?

Or does not being able to shuffle the cabbage salesman cancel the whole effect

it would still see the multiple instances if they all get sac'd at once tho

you still can technically

[atomic harness]

Oh ok

[subtle sierra]

you can't they force you to pick the lower one

cause like i'd love to spend my leftover mythics on rest in peace but i just fucking can't

[twilit canyon]

what the... i never tried that cus i usually never get to take advantage of the downshifts myself but huh

[copper pecan]

is there a full list of the new cards anywhere?

[twilit canyon]

so even if u go to big score

u cant craft your first rip copy with a mythic?

it auto downshifts you to rare?

[subtle sierra]

no

yeah it's auto rare

they just say fuck you

it's why i've been crafting cauldrons recently on stuff

cause ghost vacuum is a rare

but cauldron is a mythic

lol

[twilit canyon]

i mean fair lol cauldron in theory is a better meta call but wow

[subtle sierra]

no the change is absolutely fucked in some cases

[twilit canyon]

i had expected u could push through with the mythic printing

[subtle sierra]

cause like if i wanted to make my irl uw build

i don't use overlord or elspeth

and only 4 beza

so after the 4 mythics i don't have much use for them

so if i have 6 wildcards i could technically at least craft like 2 rip and be happy

now you can't and get fucked

on the other hand you can get the golden border duress and negate for commons but it's not like that's really relevant

i really really wish you could just pick

i really like the card also tbf

like that makes firebreathing rly cool

[sudden lava]

He's also on cruel tutor

(the reprint)

[steady onyx]

i think ill build him as a commander

with like the firebreathing stuff

cauise i RLY wanna play with

the enchantment with flash

and the fortell fire breathing card

yeah this one

normally i dont like high mana cost commanders

[sudden lava]

Wait forgot, monoblack one is actually Rakdos also

[steady onyx]

but like i feel hes fine

[sudden lava]

cuz that one doesnt technically firebend

im like thinking

god

he should have flash

that would be PEAK

[fallow citrus]

kona player had 2 cavern of souls in hand

ig they're just better

despicable deck

[stark skiff]

Dang I like both arts

[sudden lava]

The glow up from the selesnya one is real

[steady onyx]

@sleek ferry @twilit canyon am i crazy that this is a card you 100% can play in standard? and even maybe build a deck kinda around

with like having aggro from just the free man land

and also ramp

from like an elevs if ur in green

or just the lands u earthbend

the mechanic feels rly strong in standard to me

but idk exactly how to play around with it

[twilit canyon]

its fine but its not amazing in standard

we have a single good mana dork at 1 so this becomes very slow

[steady onyx]

i think i get what your saying, but is the earthbend 1 on this also strong? maybe im wrong but earthbend as a mechanic feels incredibly strong to me

but maybe im missing something

idk

like i know this is a perfect scenario and 3 card hand and whatnot but like
t1 elves t1 this and a genemoph make the land a 3/3

swinging with a 4/4 on t2 seems good and like idk if thats impossible every game

but idk

oh now that im thinking

i realise you lose a land due to earthbend if your gonna want to be swinging with them...

hm

maybe im wrong

[last glen]

the land doesn't die permanently
it comes back tapped

so really there's not much long term risk to them

[twilit canyon]

tapped however

you are absolutely overthinking how good this is though

this is a strong card when we can have a fair bit of good mana dorks at 1

otherwise... its kind of just okay

[steady onyx]

no not that, more just like if u are using land as a creature you dont yhave a land

[steady onyx]

yeah i get that, overall is earthbend powerful cause that part of the card seemed better to me but idk

[twilit canyon]

the earthbend part is flavor text in 90% of scenarios

your opponent can also abuse earthbend to force u to play tapped

like yeah, sure, its not as risky as usual animating lands is, but its still pretty risky

[steady onyx]

ah ok

:(

thats sad it seemed cool

[twilit canyon]

the scenario you want is gonna be so hard to get to bc we only have llanowar elves. maybe if we had another dork, sure. but they've been extremely careful about reprinting 1 mana dorks

so if u dont have t1 llanowar -> cub your turn 2 is extremely unimpressive and open to getting screwed

[glad peak]

I knew it, Marit Lage is the Avatar

[twilit canyon]

ie: they play land, and then cast removal on your creature land, and oops now u gotta have your turn 3 with 1 tapped land

[sudden lava]

This goes crazy with earthbend

Every land you animate now taps for 2

[subtle sierra]

Ehh

Like misty described, you kinda need more dorks for it to be consistent

Surely by the time you earthbend a second time for this to be worth you can do more stuff, say drop an overlord for the land

[twilit canyon]

love for you to animate a land so i can curve starcage into it lol

[subtle sierra]

Also that ig

Like if you go t1 elf t2 I'd rather worldwagon or fenrir or w/e

[twilit canyon]

t1 elf -> cub lets you cast the 3 drop anyways

[subtle sierra]

Doesn't it leave you with 2 mana after the cub

And even in that scenario cub sounds a bit winmore

[twilit canyon]

elf land oh ur right

and yeah

[subtle sierra]

it is worth if you drop 2 moles but like

go ahead

open 2 moles

[lusty trench]

They did the thing

[subtle sierra]

ofc if you play it you play 4 but it's unlikely

another meme broke through the barrier

vxTwitter / fixvx · Oct 28, 2025, 6:32 PM

[subtle sierra]

@twilit canyon btw what do you think of this thing? my friend compared it to hydroid krasis and said it should be good in a slower meta

maybe not now but a decent card

i'm debating getting a few irl

[twilit canyon]

it should be solid for control lists the only issue i see is that the conditional draw is kind of bad and krasis gained a fair bit of life to stablize

though we do have beza so thats not too bad rn

[subtle sierra]

yeah he said the search draw is kinda meh and might as well be ignored

[twilit canyon]

i think its kind of weird too in that, i think i may want riddler over this too hmmm

[subtle sierra]

idt anything in standard searches anyway

[twilit canyon]

gains x power, draws half of x rounded down...

[twilit canyon]

theres like a few things

[subtle sierra]

this does have flash

and it flashes in untapped

[twilit canyon]

no yeah it should be very solid. i do just wonder if it'll actually come up enough at 4 mana hm

[subtle sierra]

i think compared to beza, a 3/3 flasher that blocks a thing and draws should be fine

[twilit canyon]

cus thinking about it: prior to 4, this is a 2/2 that doesnt draw

[subtle sierra]

yeah it's only worth at 4+

[twilit canyon]

i wouldnt count it out of course but

yeah ig we'll see

[subtle sierra]

it is bigger than krasis tho

it's just that in blue you can flash it in at their end

i really like that

it's why i value consult a lot higher than stock up

[sleek ferry]

Am I missing something, how is this not 4 mana on t2?

[subtle sierra]

well you spend 2 of it on the mole

[twilit canyon]

2 lands, 1 llanowar, -2 mana on the cub, then you have 2 left over

[subtle sierra]

but it's more mana on t3

compared to a 3 mana place land thing

[sleek ferry]

Ah yeah, I was thinking linearly

Mb

What’s the other 1 mana fork we got in EoE

[twilit canyon]

we got a fork in eoe?

idt they print those at 1 anymore

[subtle sierra]

[[gene pollinator]] is kinda useless if you're thinking of him

1/2

[twilit canyon]

oh a dork u probably meant

[subtle sierra]

rover is cool but not what you need in this case

[sleek ferry]

Yeah him

I mean if there’s enough of a reason to play green stompy, you probably play him

[subtle sierra]

ehhh

maybe

the other two dorks in standard are molt tender and ixalli's and they both don't do what you need with mole

[sleek ferry]

It having 2 toughness is also relevant enough, and it nets you the same amount of mana as llanowar on t3

[subtle sierra]

uhh

how

unless you mean like t1 pollinator t2 mole

[sleek ferry]

Yeah, wasn’t that the same scenario we said for llanowar? You lose out on the extra mana on t2 which hurts, but t3 you break even

[subtle sierra]

i mean true but if you're running this don't you want the thing to be fine on it's own

it doesn't sound that good

[sleek ferry]

Oh wait I’m lying, it’s the same mana

[subtle sierra]

it's the same on t3

[twilit canyon]

you also do risk the land even if it comes back

[sleek ferry]

T1 gene t2 cub gene taps cub for 2 mana

[subtle sierra]

oh true

[sleek ferry]

So there’s something there, if they give us a legit reason to want to run green stompy

[subtle sierra]

not sure there is rn

maybe we'll get something this set tho idk, they need to give us something to use firebending with

so maybe gruul gets something

[sleek ferry]

Anything that wants firebending is likely going to be in rakdos or boros

[subtle sierra]

perhaps, they could give them something like "creatures have flash during combat" idk

[sleek ferry]

I can’t picture them printing an insane firebending payoff in a well costed mono red card, unless it’s 2-3 pips

[subtle sierra]

i think it's the perfect set for them to make like XRRR instant that burns idk

[sleek ferry]

Don’t we already have an x costed deal x damage to anything card in standard?

we do and it's ass

But I've also seen lists on no beza so like

It's just a card that stabilizes you, whatever the matchup

you def play it in standard just for the flash flying and draw

oh Krasis being cast is relevant though

right

cast as opposed to etb

blow up their land and then either they give you advantage or just lose a land forever

this looks sick

[subtle sierra]

Oh god i need to order more demo fields

[trail anvil]

finally caught up to the reveals yesterday, jesus christ they really did kill it with this set

bloodbending 👌 goes so insanely hard in every way

temur iroh actually looks like a fun temur lessons commander, I'm so insanely hyped for ETB shrines, so much stuff has genuinely amazing flavor

[fallow citrus]

strip mine every time

[trail anvil]

so toxic

[trail anvil]

also this card is hilarious

[sleek ferry]

wonder if they limited it to 10 for the sake of the blue leyline

whatever its name was

[[bad blue leyline]]

Enchantment
If this card is in your opening hand, you may begin the game with it on the battlefield.
As this enchantment enters, choose a creature type.
Creatures you control are the chosen type in addition to their other types. The same is true for creature spells you control and creature cards you own that aren't on the battlefield.

[sleek ferry]

nvm

I thought this gave all creature types

[trail anvil]

wait that's actually a good point though, I didn't even think about changelings

[glad peak]

Can you use it with changelings? Because changelings are also humans

Like I remember the reason why embiggen had that text was so it wouldn’t work with changelings

[fallow citrus]

no you wouldnt be able to bc they're human too

[trail anvil]

o right

[last glen]

the changeling with extra text that says it is not a human Wizards is about to print

[subtle sierra]

all creature types include humans

so it's not like it'd help anyway

[trail anvil]

damn the more I think about it though the more they captured the essence of each bending so well

water bending using your surroundings to your advantage, fire bending with the short bursts of power, air bending with the trickiness and earth bending with well, literally using earth

I'm also always hyped for more opportunities to use land creatures 👀 especially with low downside

I think this might be a set I actually preorder on arena

I'm sorry you do what now?

now that's a 6 mana artifact right there

[glad peak]

Huh that’s pretty interesting

Good? Probably not, 6 is still way too high and you can do better things than that

But interesting

[tardy echo]

Probably something to be done with it in commander

[subtle sierra]

this isn't good if you don't have a thing that will trigger it the second it lands, but that means you have to build around it, which also means you dilute your hits off this

so like

[trail anvil]

I don't think it's breaking anything but it sounds super fun, especially with [[unwinding clock]]

Artifact
Untap all artifacts you control during each other player's untap step.
"The partisans have unearthed a strange artifact. None know its origin, but it gives them hope of a life beyond." —Elspeth's journal

[subtle sierra]

i don't have much hope for this

[tardy echo]

Once again, something to be done with in commander

[trail anvil]

in a commander deck that's scry heavy like elminster it sounds really fun

[tardy echo]

Spider-Man has that 1 mana blue that cheats artifacts too

[trail anvil]

ah yes, the worse jhoira

[tardy echo]

No comment

[subtle sierra]

ig you can cheat this with kona

[trail anvil]

there are better things to cheat with kona tho

if you could do something scry/surveil heavy with whatshername from final fantasy maybe there's some niche, but I doubt you're using it if you're not a Johnny

[tardy echo]

Never cheating this over omniscience

Or craterhoof

Or whatever it is people play w Kona now

[last glen]

Does the Mai and Zuko card imply Mai will be UB? I don't think I've seen Zuko in a color other than mono-red.

nvm he is in RWB

[steady onyx]

that mai and zuko card seems cool

ive wanted to play flash turbo decks

and in grixis is interesting

with artifacts and allys

and i really like firebending

but i want to play around with firebending and flash

im between ozai and mai and zuko now

i just wish ozai had flash

[last glen]

I don't want ozai to flash me tbh

I wanted to QT this with "everyone who played UB Frog in the last Modern RCs" or whatever but couldn't actually find a major tournament it had won so now that choice is even more baffling

[twilit canyon]

your average ladder control player is very funny

they silence me on my t2, and i plot show-off

they silence me t3 and i plot a 2nd show off

they silence my a 3rd time and i plot a 3rd show off

then they tap out for narset, find a 1 mana fragment reality and then they dont play an untapped land

they proceed to conceed

oh they left the fucking match lmfao

[subtle sierra]

I wonder what will the blue or green temples be

Blue maybe spirit oasis?

Or maybe this thing we saw for like a second idk

[tardy echo]

Was there an earth temple

It’s been quite a while since I’ve watched

[subtle sierra]

Yes, the southern air temple episode showed all nations' temples

That was the water one

This was the earth one

But again both of those showed up for one second so like idt they'll go for them

Green could be western air temple

Or maybe the big tree in the swamp

But the cycle's naming scheme is currently something something temple

So idk

[tardy echo]

Was there… perchance an eastern air temple

[subtle sierra]

you're a visionary

[tardy echo]

[subtle sierra]

like the most spiritual water thing i can think of is the spirit oasis

in the original series

[pulsar talon]

Was the dragon place zuko visited a temple?

Been a while since i watched ATLA

[subtle sierra]

we already have the red one

[trail anvil]

why are they playing control lmao

that's wild

[twilit canyon]

historic players are a different breed (derogatory)

[trail anvil]

maybe I can squeeze in a climb to plat last second

ooh fair emough

[zinc shard]

I'm getting really sick of seeing this card

[sleek ferry]

@twilit canyon did I play it too safe by going sol ring into hearse for my first 2 picks here?

[twilit canyon]

pack 1 sol ring is always gonna happen

pick 2...?

yeah

riddler or laelia are both really good

you can argue yawg's will and breach but those can end up as build arounds

[sleek ferry]

For pack 2 I considered riddler and laella also yeah

[twilit canyon]

mind you

hearse isnt bad

in bo1, you really do need the grave hate
