#

Maybe tamiyo’s power level is equivalent to her card design, she dawdles around doing nothing and then she auto wins Yeppers

#

(Don’t read compleated sage)

#

Wasn’t it also powered by her soul or something though

#

Surely if kamigawa tech could open omenpaths on its own they would’ve done that by now

twilit canyon
#

i think so

tardy echo
#

Tamiyo is just so weird

twilit canyon
#

iirc they were at the very least fucking with shit in regards to planeswalking

tardy echo
#

Idk why she was ever there

twilit canyon
#

they had invented the reality chip to keep the wanderer from fucking off randomly

#

and it worked

#

but, this is something they made for their empress

#

unsure how it'd look for, sure, a notable researcher, but not royalty

tardy echo
#

The reality chip also just keeps her spark stable doesn’t it

#

It’s not like it does anything else

#

Right 334

#

Jin git also found tech that does stuff like that isn’t that how they compleated pws tbw

twilit canyon
#

they needed help to develop it in kamigawa

#

they compleated tamiyo in kamigawa iirc

tardy echo
#

Yeah but surely they already had the capability to do so if they were planning to go out and compleat her

#

magic lore

tardy echo
#

No?

steady onyx
twilit canyon
#

tho again, its like

#

kamigawa, and phyrexia

#

2 of the most technically advanced planes

#

at the time

tardy echo
#

Not just at the time even still

#

No other plane comes close do they?

#

Kaladesh has a very diff type of tech

#

And it still seems inferior

twilit canyon
#

kaladesh did make the planar bridge

tardy echo
#

I thought that was specifically tezz

twilit canyon
#

nah he stole it from a fair there

tardy echo
#

Ahh

#

But also kaladesh tech works with all the magic in the plane doesn’t it

#

Vs kamigawa and phyrexian tech

twilit canyon
#

yeah each plane has their own tech effectively

#

not like ravnica is truly that far behind

#

and it isnt like esper is that far ahead

tardy echo
#

Seeing

#

And also while we’re still semi on the emrakul thing

#

I get the whole emeria=emrakul thing but what about like iona and all the angels there

#

Were they just like memory holed or something by her

twilit canyon
#

i dont think we know actually

#

they were blind to the fact that the eldrazi were a threat

#

but idr if they said it was the eldrazi that caused them to not see them as threats

tardy echo
#

Interesting

#

And did iona and all of them just fuck off or something

#

Or are they still hanging out

twilit canyon
#

they wear their halos over their eyes to blind themselves for their failure

#

but they should still be around

#

iona got a new card in zendikar rising

#

was a p solid card for the party theme

tardy echo
tardy echo
twilit canyon
#

yeah tho the other angels on zendikar are still around following their leader (iona)

tardy echo
#

It’s kind of hard to search for it because it shows so many random bullishit cards

twilit canyon
#

i gaslit myself idt its iona that got the card

#

but yeah she is still around

#

yeah i did it was linvala that got the new card

sleek ferry

Alright I ended up in white splashing blue and green

Ended 1-1-1, 36 players at the 3pm prerelease

#

Btw read your cards, I thought ba sing se was instant speed earth bend icant

tardy echo
#

Would be. A little strong

sleek ferry
#

I might do Sunday since there’s supposedly still spots open, but the format is super fun for prerelease

#

Btw my promo was Zhao

would you guys sat there is boring commanders?

atomic harness
#

@twilit canyon oh why are ppl malding about tamiyo now

#

I've been seeing it a lot recently

twilit canyon
#

shes always been kinda broken

#

just went more or less unnoticed

#

and magic players love to complain

atomic harness
#

Yeah I thought it was fine bc ub frog fell off

#

the card is insane though mind you

glad peak
#

Tamiyo in which format?

twilit canyon
#

you are probably looking at legacy

#

im guessing

atomic harness

[[inquisitive student]]

lost widgetBOT

Legendary Creature — Moonfolk Wizard
Flying
Whenever Tamiyo attacks, investigate. (Create a Clue token. It's an artifact with "mana2, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.")
When you draw your third card in a turn, exile Tamiyo, then return her to the battlefield transformed under her owner's control.
0/3

Tamiyo, Seasoned Scholar
Legendary Planeswalker — Tamiyo
+2: Until your next turn, whenever a creature attacks you or a planeswalker you control, it gets -1/-0 until end of turn.
−3: Return target instant or sorcery card from your graveyard to your hand. If it's a green card, add one mana of any color.
−7: Draw cards equal to half the number of cards in your library, rounded up. You get an emblem with "You have no maximum hand size."
Loyalty: 2

glad peak
#

In legacy yep she has a ton of things she can just double

atomic harness
#

Oh what broke this in legacy

glad peak
#

And It’s trivially easy to flip her

#

Especially with brainstorm

#

Reanimate into reanimate nyaruhodo

#

Brainstorm into Fetch into brainstorm is busted too

tardy echo
glad peak
#

Not EVERY card but she is pretty disgusting in any fair matchup yep

I pulled hater bird and a bunch more at locals

He's going for around 50-ish dollars, could trade it back to the store to get a Universe Within precon

atomic harness
#

I'd keep it unless you really want a precon
Great pull

tardy echo
tardy echo
#

Also more cards/ ranked queue would both just be objectively good for the format idk

twilit canyon
#

letting u fetch -> draw off land etb -> fetch -> draw off land etb

#

and u spent 0 mana to flip tamiyo

sleek ferry
glad peak
tardy echo
#

If u get a fully self flipped tamiyo i feel ur not playing against a legacy deck

glad peak
#

Yep, but it’s still possible nyaruhodo

#

But more importantly is her +2 then -3 taking an extra turn, against unfair decks you’ll likely be dead, which is why im saying she's too good specifically into fair decks

tardy echo
#

I think against unfair decks it’s still definitely broken to get to resolve extras of broken cards

#

But it could be argued that’s more of an issue with those broken cards

Enchantment
When this enchantment enters and at the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 1 life and create a Clue token. (It's an artifact with "mana2, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.")
Whenever you attack, put X +1/+1 counters on target attacking creature, where X is the number of permanents you've sacrificed this turn. If X is three or greater, that creature gains lifelink until end of turn.

steady onyx

dimir felt incredibly strong

#

the red splash was not worth

but it was free since i got the dual lands i needed

what are some good enchantments to run in go-shintai in brawl?

damn i forgot doc aurlock makes airbended shit free

there's so many loops with that

@sleek ferry how did ur draft go same with @subtle sierra

subtle sierra

Draft?

well hope u go 2-1

stark skiff
#

missed my prerelease event but was told they had 20 players which is basically a full house for my locals so thats neat

steady onyx
#

which was absolutely insane

#

we had like 10 for spider man

stark skiff
#

thats dope.

steady onyx
#

and then 52 for avatar

#

like so different lol

stark skiff
#

SPM was a full house for us as well

#

i went 2-1 on that one. lost final round to a Gruul deck who had the insane hand of the 2 mana spiders that untap and 2 rhinos

steady onyx
#

i went 2-1 in spider man iirc, i had some esper deck and lost to a rly rly good selesnya counters deck

glad peak
#

So every Selesnya counter deck in spoder man

#

That deck was insane in that format

steady onyx
#

yeah

#

idk if im right cause im ass at limited

#

but dimir feels insane in avatar

#

esp the commons and uncommons,

#

i pulled 0 mythics and ran 3 rares in my deck 2 which i never casted

#

and the deck still felt unbeatable

My two wins were bear beatdowns

I can imagine, that’s one of the better bombs in the set

subtle sierra
#

Oh and united front for 5 when the healer and haru on board

#

Aaaaand i missed lethal, should have made 4

steady onyx
#

i pulled 0 mythics

#

and like my rares were fine...

#

tiger seal and the enchantment were good sure

#

but like shrug_cat

#

i wish i pulled a fun buildaround mythic

sleek ferry

In retrospect after looking at my cards I should have gone Esper instead of bant

subtle sierra

idk

whats the best out of the 4

Tolarian has ward

steady onyx

idk

#

looking at pauper teror lists they are on 8

#

but maybe ur right

#

idk

subtle sierra
#

Oh this is pauper

#

Ignore me

steady onyx
#

no this was for standard

#

but i was like taking ideas from pauper

#

but maybe they are too different

subtle sierra
#

If you go for standard you bounce stormchasers

#

Also lessons have huge spellslinging potential

#

And boomerang bounces

steady onyx
#

yerah

#

god

#

im laggyu

#

ill think abou tthat

subtle sierra

Also finished 3-1

steady onyx

Only lost to a sack

But w/e

steady onyx
#

my draft so far :p im rly bad at drafting

#

i should have just played red aggro lol

#

p1p1 uro

#

i like uro

glad peak
#

I mostly don’t mind this deck

#

On the weaker side but meh

#

From the looks of it, arena powered cube looks like force red aggro or spike a combo

steady onyx
#

this is the deck i made from draft

#

whoops

#

this cube is fucking based holy hell

steady onyx
#

this draft is the worst thing ever fuck this game

tardy echo

He found out about sneak and tell

sleek ferry

You like have to accidentally fall into it

he t1 booster tutor for a sneak attack

holy im still mad

i go weekly to pauper and standard rn and i play arena and have fun

#

and im getting a bit better at limited

#

i do just need to get rid of all my commander decks

#

cause i hate that fucking format

#

i just have too much cardboard and need to clean it up to only a couple decks

#

like my 2 pauper decks, my one standard deck, 1-2 commander deck, my proxied legacy deck and like get rid of all my bulk and othjer stuff to keep my room clean

glad peak

Preaching to the choir nyaruhodo

is this rly true

if i like [[aang swift savior]] a spell

Legendary Creature — Human Avatar Ally
Flash
Flying
When Aang enters, airbend up to one other target creature or spell. (Exile it. While it's exiled, its owner may cast it for mana2 rather than its mana cost.)
Waterbend mana8: Transform Aang.
With the death of the moon spirit, the Avatar's tides of vengeance crashed over the Fire Nation fleet.
2/3

Aang and La, Ocean's Fury
Legendary Creature — Avatar Spirit Ally
Reach, trample
Whenever Aang and La attack, put a +1/+1 counter on each tapped creature you control.
5/5

steady onyx
#

is that basically counter

#

because it gets removed from stack and wont resolve?

#

that seems fucking stupid

#

but idk thats just my ygo brain ig

glad peak
#

That’s correct

#

Spell queller did the same thing

steady onyx
#

huh ok

#

so if a spell is moved to exile?

#

or just moved out of activation zone?

#

then it is removed form stack?

glad peak
#

If the spell is removed from the stack for any reason

#

There’s a combo deck people used to try where everyone would play it wrong because they thought if it was on the stack then it’ll resolve

#

I think it was [[nivix elemental]]

lost widgetBOT
#

No card found for “nivix elemental”

glad peak
#

Or whatever it was called, the one where you exile a spell you control to put 2 +1/+1 counters on him

steady onyx
#

ok i see

#

wait but then this aang card seems rly rly good no?

#

instant speed removal / counterspell + body ?

glad peak
#

Not really

steady onyx
#
  • late game mana dump
sudden lava
glad peak
#

It’s a decent card but the fact the opponent can get it back even without aang dying is rough

steady onyx
#

hm ig

#

so its more similar to a spell pierce?

glad peak
#

That’s a better way of thinking about it

steady onyx
#

do you have to airbend at sorcery?

#

or whatever speed the airbended card is

glad peak
#

Not sorcery but whatever the timing of that spell is

steady onyx
#

okok

sudden lava
#

cuz if a spell cant be countered normally, the Aang still smack it off the stack

steady onyx
#

ooh fun

sudden lava
#

and yeah they just cast the thing at what the card can be cast at normally

steady onyx
#

so if it has flash that would be instant speed?

sudden lava
#

yup

glad peak
subtle sierra

#

Alright negotiated on these three

#

$1550 total

steady onyx
#

bgro im crashing out so much

#

why is mtg so much better then tgo

#

#

😭

twilit canyon
#

idt its outright better. its different, and this difference will make it feel better to different ppl (myself included)

copper pecan
#

they're very different games

steady onyx
sleek ferry
#

As somebody that has played all tcg’s, mtg is better yes. Theres less non games pre side and def post side

sudden lava
#

Birb is getting very expensive (This is a good thing for me, I hope it stays high so I can trade it in for more cards worth)

#

well yeah

Oh damn I was right the bird is hydroid crasis 2.0

trail anvil
#

it makes hydroid krasis look balanced tbh

subtle sierra
#

hmm i have no idea if the bant airbend thing is good, and i kinda don't know what to fill it with that you get to the combo faster

#

the only thing i can think of is sariema

sleek ferry
subtle sierra
#

that's the combo

#

doc makes you loop aang and appa

#

for infinite tokens in their end step

sleek ferry

[[doc aurlock]]

lost widgetBOT
subtle sierra
#

that's the literal only reason for green

#

i just don't know anything else to fill the deck with

sleek ferry
#

Oh yeah I’ve seen this played by Ashley, idk if this is the move though

subtle sierra
#

perhaps not, i'm just looking at what stuff to order for irl play

#

i def want to get lessons

#

and shove them somehow into jeskai

sleek ferry
#

Gran gran is like your ideal control 1 drop

steady onyx
#

what would ppl take here?

#

like i think its between prime time and cradle

#

but im curious

copper pecan
#

either cradle or prime time yeah

steady onyx
#

i took prime i think

#

but idk

#

maybe cradle was correct

#

both drafts now ive drafted green splashing other colors landfall ramp goodstuff

#

lol

twilit canyon
#

mox diamond is generally correct

steady onyx
#

really?

#

hm ok

twilit canyon
#

cradle good, titan good, diamond will see play in about all decks u play/build

steady onyx
#

well cradle wheeled somehow

#

but outside that if my pack 1 was basically already green stuff

#

is diamond still correct?

twilit canyon
#

yes

steady onyx
#

ok

twilit canyon
#

diamond is just a tier below moxen/lotus/power

steady onyx
#

i get that

twilit canyon
#

tbf so is cradle, but again, if your deck ends up needing to pivot, diamond will see play in 90% of decks

#

cradle in maybe 70%

steady onyx
#

i get that

twilit canyon
#

titan in less

steady onyx
#

bro

#

mox emerald p3 p1 lol

#

lergit the exact same deck i drafted last time

twilit canyon
#

lol

steady onyx
#

but i got so many good lands this time

#

holy shit strip mine with wn6

twilit canyon
#

2x mox could have u play a 3 drop turn 1

steady onyx
#

i have to

#

i think triome might be correct here? but strip mine with wrenn and 6 and titan to search and stuff feels so funny

#

god i usck at limited

twilit canyon
#

your deck? strip mine

#

icetill strip mine w6

steady onyx
#

yeah...

#

sounds fun

#

:)

twilit canyon
#

dont bother with triome

steady onyx
#

uhm last pack i took a six instead of crop ro

#

but now im regretting that

#

:(

twilit canyon
#

u dont have field so

#

no worries

sleek ferry
#

Mox Diamond was def the pick here, it’s the least commital pick while also being generally strong

steady onyx
#

ok ok ok

#

god it

#

ok my draft

#

idk if it was good

#

but i like green stuff :)

#

god i prob took too many lands thinking about it now

twilit canyon
#

get the black cards out

#

nah lands are good

steady onyx
#

sentinel feels shit no ?

twilit canyon
#

torsten gtg

steady onyx
#

like i feel snetinel is completely a commander card

#

but idk

twilit canyon
#

esper?

steady onyx
#

yeah

twilit canyon
#

no card's been good in all formats

#

also gtg tho

steady onyx
#

ok im just ewrong ok

twilit canyon
#

ur mono green splash blue/red

steady onyx
#

yeah i get that

sleek ferry
# steady onyx god i usck at limited

There’s a couple of different draft Strats especially for pack 1, I would generally recommend staying non commital (fast mana, fetches) unless you just stumble into a power 9 that’s too good to pass up

#

If you go into pack 2 with 2-3 fetches you’re generally feeling pretty decent

steady onyx
#

ok ok

twilit canyon
#

or single color power card

#

ie: you get... icetill explorer p1? usually is also good

steady onyx
#

the whole first apck was like shit, i just took some fetches and lands

twilit canyon
#

oe channel

#

or reanimate

steady onyx
#

my p1 p1 was marsh flats lol

twilit canyon
#

thats fine/good

steady onyx
#

and then bill was in second pack

#

so i was like ill take bill and maybe play around a bit of landfall

#

but then I think I got a bit too tunnel visioned

sleek ferry
#

I wouldn’t take bill as p2 p1

#

What was the rest of the pack

steady onyx
#

no he was pack 1 pick 2

#

idk what was ngl

twilit canyon
#

pay attention to the full pack

steady onyx
#

i just remeember being like oh i took a fetch p1 bill synergizes with fetches shrug_cat

twilit canyon
#

even if u dont grab it

steady onyx
#

yeah i do that a bit more in irl drafts

#

when im playing against those ppl

#

so i know what they are building

twilit canyon
#

do that even online

steady onyx
#

okok

twilit canyon
#

so u can keep context of what can wheel

sleek ferry
#

Nobody’s picking bill early

#

Unless the pack was just terrible

steady onyx
#

ok

#

ill pay more attnetnion next time

#

this feels rough now that im taking a bigger look at it though

#

the lands confuse me

#

ngl

#

idk how I should deal wiht all of them

twilit canyon
#

cut the black sources and white sources entirely

#

leaving verdant

sleek ferry
#

Like let’s say p1 p1 you grab a fetch, p1 p2 you don’t see anything stand out but you see a shock/triome that your fetch can get, I would personally go the triome/shock

twilit canyon
#

and i think flats is fine

#

for indatha is still ok

sleek ferry
#

There’s a good amount of scenarios where you can realistically end up 4 colors in this cube

twilit canyon
#

and temple ig

steady onyx
#

should I cut man lands? i thoguht they would be good

#

since i can grab them from deck

#

and just having bodies is nice

twilit canyon
#

u can cut them

#

make sure u have enough red and blue sources

sleek ferry
#

Oh also, try to pay attention to what colors/strats you’re seeing come back to you in the packs

#

It’s a good way to pivot/commit

twilit canyon
#

tho i think... u only really need... 4 red 6 blue

steady onyx
#

i have sprawlk which can also help tho nho

#

?

twilit canyon
#

yes tho in that case, another mountain

#

drop an island

#

sprawl will be on blue duty in most scenarios

steady onyx
#

are any of the like non land cards worth cutting

#

i was considering like tear asunder

twilit canyon
#

also cut overgrown

steady onyx
#

but thought removal was importasnt

#

i had overgrtown so I could tear asunder for full rmoveal

twilit canyon
#

add another forest

#

you have a bayou

steady onyx
#

right

twilit canyon
#

the tiny black splash with a bayou is fine

steady onyx
#

i also hjave nissa tbf

sleek ferry
#

Wait I just realized the blue splash here feels really bad lol

twilit canyon
#

uro is great, but what else to play?

#

idk if he can afford black proper

#

the black cards have poor synergy

steady onyx
#

the black just was what i got from last stuff

twilit canyon
#

yeah looks way too disorganized

#

i mean, u can arguably cut blue entirely

#

but then this deck looks way too underpowered

sleek ferry
#

Well it just feels bad having to splash blue with 0 blue fetchable sources and only 2 blue cards. This could have probably pivoted to like splash black for removal/reanimator at some point

gritty nest
#

How much would you guys spend for a loose Mardu surge precon? MP is $35 and lowest listing is $40

lusty trench
#

Legit

glad peak
#

I’d probably just buy the singles of the cards you want from it

lusty trench
#

I wouldnt pay more than 25 for it

gritty nest
#

The store had it listed for $65

lusty trench
#

They high?

glad peak
#

Yes that’s high

gritty nest
#

Idk but I told them about it and got it for $35

glad peak
#

Guess it wasn’t selling

#

Maybe I’m high

steady onyx
#

@sleek ferry @twilit canyon yay! deck did well

#

thanks for help

#

<3

twilit canyon
#

nice work

steady onyx
#

will there be avatar drafts that arent phantom?

#

so I can use my gems to get standard cards and build a standard deck

#

cause this is my current standard deck and I wanna build a bo3 so I can practice on arena and in person

#

maybe i just try to farm for simic ouro like I have in paper

#

i rly rly like the deck

twilit canyon
#

thats the usual draft on arena

tardy echo
steady onyx
#

@glad peak 3-0 at pauper tnite

#

caw gates
Terror
burn

#

felt rly good

#

im def learning spy well

zinc shard
#

dont think thats supposed to be there yet

subtle sierra
#

Yeah they do that

#

They changed the model for it already

#

It functions the same tho

glad peak
steady onyx
#

i was just rly fast

#

im trying 5th land sided so 4 main

#

and that just makes the deck rly fast

#

and so like idk

#

he wasnt able to drop enough terrors by the time I could combo

glad peak
#

Oh you’re doing 4 land, I thought you swapped to more midrange

steady onyx
#

well i want to

#

just missing the jund cards for more midrange

#

:(

#

but i want to try out all variants of spy

#

i also am looking at local card stores and picking up cards for gardens... idk if i will play the deck but in our playgroup no one rly plays control so I thought it would be helpful to put together a control list jut so someone could play so we could test asp

#

but terror was the hardest mu

#

even post side it was just they have so much interaction and can put me on a clock

#

caw gates caught me off guard with thraben main lol, post side i physically cannot lose a game to caw gates but pre side i had 0 idea they were on charm main lol

glad peak
#

Yep that’s why I was asking lol

#

Thraben main might be standard soon, card’s so good

steady onyx
#

i mean i cannot beat thraben main

#

unless im maining jack and dispel

#

which sounds insane

#

lol

glad peak
#

Terror is just too fun

#

I may have a type

steady onyx
#

its a cool deck

#

i needed to do a mtga quest with blue

#

and so i threw together bad blue terror in standard and now I wanna play terror in standard :(

#

its just too bad without note and scour

glad peak
#

One of my friends plays that, 12 snake lol

#

4 of the snakes are crabs

in this house we love when our creatures cost 1 less to cast for each instant or sorcery in our graveyard

In this house we love when doc aurlock says airbending is free

doc aurlock is my favorite airbender

subtle sierra
#

He's a bearbender

#

You're a saltbender

copper pecan
#

i feel like saltbending would be a type of earthbending

subtle sierra
#

True

tardy echo
#

The more gameplay I see of it the more badgermole seems like an actual broken card icl

#

At least they finally gave green good cards SCGbanana

twilit canyon
#

it is. tho idk if it has a real home in standard

sleek ferry
#

Well I can tell you the card is an absolute unit in draft/sealed

tardy echo
#

I mean I feel any deck that plays elves can also fit it

#

Like even without the actual elves synergy it’s also a 2 mana 2/2 that gives you 2 mana

#

And it scales even more insane in multiples

Well hes right

mno i thought it was funny

idk man

glad peak

(We don’t play commander)

steady onyx

im bored so im using twitter

steady onyx

i dont know too much about him, kinda just hes a good? pro player

#

but i like watching his pauper videos on his youtube

subtle sierra
#

32 minutes copium

steady onyx

32 mins untill i drop all my farmed gold into avatar packs

and try to build a deck

glad peak

He’s a great player

he just seems chill

he seems like josh

Hates commander but tolerates it enough

actually i think one of his videos was the reason i got into pauper like a yr or two? or three? ago

#

he made a video on faeries

#

and i liked it

glad peak

Yep he loves that deck

#

Very recently made a vid on it too

steady onyx

yeah saw that

While you kids are busy airbending, me and @fallow citrus will be reaching numbered mythic with 5 color allies

ok twitter is funny guys

#

maybe I should use this site more

sleek ferry
#

oh you don't know that mtgo players are some of the most insufferable people in the community

#

and I'm not talking about people that use mtgo as a practice tool, I'm talking about the people whose only way to consume mtg is mtgo

subtle sierra
steady onyx
#

i wanna use mtgo as practice

#

its just expensive :(

#

not even

#

i just feel like

subtle sierra
#

it's a control deck that just shits out a combo

steady onyx
#

if i spend mone yon mygo

#

i am like forcing myself to use it

#

and idk

#

i shouldnt

sleek ferry
#

I'm so interested to see what mole ends up doing

steady onyx
subtle sierra
#

the mole ends up forcing everyone to run cheap removal to deal with it

#

imo

#

we'll see

steady onyx
#

cause i should prob pick some up for simic no matter what right?

sleek ferry
#

I don't think the card will be that good, comparatively to other formats, but there's so much doom and gloom about the card, that I'm interested in seeing how the format deals with it

#

Alright, I only have 8 rares and 12 mythics to work with

  • 10k gold

gl pulling smth

steady onyx
#

BRO

#

I cant get enough of this shit

#

my coworker said he dropped $800 on Magic product after not playing for years because he likes Spider-Man and Avatar, then said he didn't pull a $200 comic book style Spider-Man card he really wanted. I told him he could just buy the single and he looked at me in a porcine manner

#

🤣

#

what tf does porcine mean btw

#

i get the gist from context

sleek ferry
#

I'm thinking about it now, I'm pretty sure I only need 3 swift saviors

subtle sierra
#

i need 4 sadly

#

unless like

#

hmm ig i can craft a seriema or two instead

steady onyx
#

30k gold and like 5k gems but i should only use gems on draft right?

and these wc

#

imma TRY to build a bo3 standard deck

#

but idt thats happening

#

i justthink too few resources

sleek ferry
#

This Azorius tempo deck would go so much harder if we had wedding announcement sigh

#

and TWE

nah, tor isn't needed

what is tor best home btw?

Who knew that cards interact together in interesting ways clearly

so i assume its like once these end we reset

maybe it's not

#

idk the prerelease stops at that time

so i figured

golden plover
#

It's after noon est

subtle sierra

that sadly doesn't say anything to me

so 2 hours

brooo

I wonder what the best modern no banlist deck would be now

I can’t remember what it was before but now it has to be some uro oko nadu yorion pile, no?

I imagine it's still that, yeah

get that fraud uro out of there

but idk

#

it was interesting

glad peak

Huh

I didn’t expect to do this so soon but

I’m known for playing burn and belcher in my area but I love and have more results playing tempo icant

Ended up pulling 5 wildcards out of 13 packs wtf

I have 26 lands, having 3 lands in around 15 cards is fucking stupid

Depends how popular the franchise is

dont ask ai lol

im too poor for that

i was hoping .40 cents 🤣

steady onyx

#

@twilit canyon opinion

#

Do u think elemental teachings is worth in ramp

#

Followup on if yes should I play man lands to get max value

#

Currently testing V1 of deck

twilit canyon
#

if it was a mana or 2 cheaper, yes

#

as is, no

#

its a bit too expensive

tardy echo
#

Agreed

#

Also trying kyoshi just because I pulled the full set and it’s a cute card

#

Not sure if it’ll be too great though

fallow citrus
#

what do I add to uw control now that avatar has dropped

twilit canyon
#

in standard?

#

i'd try the lesson stuff

#

oh and wan shi tong is gonna be solid

fallow citrus
#

yeah, I assume just 2 wan shi tbh

#

Quench might not be bad but it's just temu no more lies

twilit canyon
#

yeah

fallow citrus

but it's really just accumulate wisdom that's worth playing in uw control

idk if uw specifically has enough lessons to comfortably run wisdom/attachments

I cooked this guy something fierce

tardy echo
#

Mostly trying to find a balance w mana dumps

sleek ferry
#

People need to stop leaving 3 mana up in UW and wondering why they’re losing tempo when you don’t play into Aang

#

You need other flash threats

Guy was purposely not playing into my Aang, so I went okay, I’m going to just Kirin bounce my cryogen, keep drawing, put another evasive body on the board, and run away with the game
