Tonight ill update my gruul goblins deck to incorporate a more aggressive version of the combo and do some playtesting

junior meteor Feb 20, 2026, 12:51 PM

yeah, i think goblins are probably a solid place to be but also maybe not correct here, whatever it is though i want to learn it before the end of the month so i'm not taking a ton of time

Well, we're gonna look at this today and see where it ends up.

#

im just gonna slap as many cards in here as i think could end up in the deck and look at what that leaves me with

junior meteor Feb 20, 2026, 4:54 PM

#

cards for dark leo (for my reference):
Koya, Death from Above
April O'Neil, Kunoichi Trainee
Oroku Saki, Shredder Rising
Splinter, Hamato Yoshi

As for ool I kinda dont love it

Here's our rebuild so far

#

i got convinced on flare of cultivation

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:02 AM

#

Yeah flare is pretty real

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:02 AM

#

if only bc it sacs jyoti

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:02 AM

#

Thats why I like it

#

Its like greens bone shards

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:02 AM

#

also more green spells to pitch to allorider means i more frequently get those lines

#

which is something im gonna keep in mind

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:03 AM

#

I still regularly get confused about why rumble is the way it is

#

The spawn kills me

#

Deadly dispute same thing, making treasures is so good

#

Green count matter for sure

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:05 AM

#

yeah

#

im really not big on preordain im ngl but it's here for now

#

if i need slots it probably gets cut though it is for sure my least favorite cantrip

#

hate cantripping on my turn

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:09 AM

#

Its the worst cantrip mathmatically too

#

It sees 2.5 cards

#

Ponder sees 3.5

#

Brainstorm sees 3, but it also is brainstorm so...

#

RUMBLE SEES FUCKING FOUR

#

-.-

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:10 AM

#

brainstorm says draw 3 cards on it

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:10 AM

#

Yeah it does

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:10 AM

#

the rest of the text

#

fully doesnt matter

#

completely irrelevant

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:10 AM

#

Its very good in vnwxt 🙂

#

It says draw 6 cards in that deck

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:11 AM

#

it's really good in i think everything actually

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:11 AM

It might be like

#

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:11 AM

it is functionally ancestral recall that can't get swatted

#

😛

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:13 AM

#

cya preordain

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:13 AM

#

Im on my laptop now so i can actually look at this list

#

I think you were gonna cut it anyways, and if you need more draw just add it back

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:13 AM

#

probably

#

so, we have all the combo pieces in the deck actually already

#

which is kinda crazy

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:14 AM

#

Yeah

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:14 AM

#

it's just filling it out from here

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:14 AM

#

Okay lets do some card draw blits

#

We should consider stock up

#

I think we can consider planar genesis as well

#

Winternight stories is likely worth considering, though I think it might be dicey

#

The current shell doesnt point towards being able to support delve or not, but if it does we're gonna want one or the other of treasure cruise/dig probably

#

I think its very unlikely we can support both

#

Even one is sus

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:16 AM

#

yeah, unsure

#

lemme put those in sideboard rq

#

i like planar genesis

#

a lot

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:17 AM

#

I do to

#

It usually makes the cut for me

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:17 AM

#

winternight is fucking rough

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:17 AM

#

Stock up is very premium, but it does assume you to have a fair bit of mana

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:17 AM

im gonna keep the other two in the maybe pile there

This card was very good in my child of alara deck 🙂

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:19 AM

it's explosive veggies but i don't want to sac everything

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:19 AM

Well

#

We want to sac our commander sometimes, thats the only reason I would play this

#

But that's more for a manual storm angle

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:20 AM

#

im actually so fucking upset that bring to light doesnt hit enchants

#

otherwise i'd run that

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:20 AM

#

Oh thats a bummer

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:20 AM

#

yeah it's only creature instant sorcery

#

which is worthless in all 3 cases

if it hit enchant, i wouldn't be able to grab food chain but at least i could get crossroads

#

junior meteor here's a question, is there an intuition pile

Back to this

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:23 AM

#

intuition pile is noxious revival, food chain, bala ged recovery

#

?

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:23 AM

#

Thats a way for sure

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:23 AM

#

and then they just give me bala ged and make me pay 3

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:23 AM

#

Of course

#

Do we have a tutor, I forget

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:23 AM

#

for enchants?

#

there are none im pretty sure

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:24 AM

#

Yeah thats what I think

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:24 AM

#

it's just drift of phantasms if i want it

#

which i kinda don't

#

that feels like a huge investment

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:25 AM

#

There are other reasonable piles I think

here's the question: is auroral procession better than bala ged recovery even if bala get recovery is a land

Getting neoform+eldritch evo+noxious or something can set up some nice lines

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:26 AM

#

yeah that's an option too

#

especially if i already have allorider or the elemental thingy on board

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:26 AM

#

Double or triple tutor is one of my favorite intution piles

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:27 AM

#

hmm

#

is eternal witness better actually

#

it's a creature and notably not an elf or an elemental

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:27 AM

#

Oh that auroral procession

#

I'm usually on 2 cmc regrowth

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:28 AM

#

auroral procession is kinda hot because it's also 2 colors

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:28 AM

#

I had no idea this existed btw, definitely gonna replace regrowth in a few decks

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:28 AM

#

which means it pitches to force of negation and also potentially allorider

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:28 AM

#

I'm big into fundamental qualities of cards

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:28 AM

#

i like 2cmc instant regrowth

#

personally

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:28 AM

#

2 mana regrowth is fundamentally a lot cheaper than other options

#

I liek 2 cmc instant regrowth too

#

The witnesses are more for grinding IMO

#

THOUGH

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:29 AM

i do like bala ged recovery though

junior meteor i do like bala ged recovery though

zero cost to run pretty much anyways

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:29 AM

5 gets us tatyova though

#

oh, actually, this might be the weird time where like

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:29 AM

#

I think impersonator will come up

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:29 AM

#

timeless witness is better?

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:29 AM

#

But its not exactly top

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:29 AM

#

timeless takes us into either tatyova or aesi

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:29 AM

#

I kind of like timeless more than eternal in general tbh

#

I have no reason to beliee that, but my vibes tell me that the games timeless or eternal are good in, timeless does the job you want better

#

Super baseless opinion though

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:30 AM

#

idk, all 3 are options

#

im gonna add to the sideboard thingy auroral, timeless, and eternal

#

oh, and just add bala ged recovery to the list

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:31 AM

#

I think we could be on all 3

#

Honestly

#

I think 2 is for sure fine

#

Bala ged+one of the options

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:31 AM

#

well we're also probably on noxious

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:31 AM

#

Oh yeah thats true

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:31 AM

#

free is free

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:32 AM

#

hm

#

The downside might matter sometimes

#

We dont have the freest acess to draw

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:33 AM

#

coming back to that in a second i guess bc i dont know, but i think noxious probably ends up in regardless

#

mostly because it's 0 mana

#

and instant

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:33 AM

I do think it ends up in yeah

but that card's insane

#

last night's game i turned shifting woodland into a copy of hullbreaker horror

#

and then discipled it

#

and bounced my own sowing mycospawn with the trigger

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:35 AM

#

With disciple in the deck it gives us another reason to consider being on staff of domination or something?

#

and that felt fucking incredible

junior meteor Feb 21, 2026, 1:35 AM

but man, bouncing sowing mycospawn felt fucking incredible

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:36 AM

The way I anaylze staff is just a generic infinite mana outlet, and then I start looking for other synergies

I rarely play it cause I dont like generic infinute mana outlets

i used it to exile a cavern of souls from the omn4th player, and then i just held it in hand and said "if you ever play field of the dead im casting this"

and that does your thing with intruder alarm

for all the intruder alarm combos

#

i think im actually big enough on sprawl that i might go like

#

halfling sprawl for my dorks

#

the big thing is just that it's wild growth for blue, that's really it

short flare Feb 21, 2026, 1:53 AM

#

I find it very hard to cut growth or sprawl myself, but I also think 1 mana ramp spells are as close to mox as we get

The only really uncuttable dork is halfling though

Yeah, I think we're looking at Intuition, Gifts Ungiven, Drift of Phantasms, or Long-Term Plans

and maybe more than one

so i think i've determined my 3 decks i'm proxying to take to portland catyay

It's gonna be:

Satya, Aetherflux Genius
Jyoti, Moag Ancient
Dark Leo & Shredder

im gonna test a lil more Dark Leo, though, and if it doesn't work out I might swap to Karai, I do think playing deadguy is still a very good position

I actually could probably proxy Jaws, too, because I already have most of Satya from before I quit.

A few weird things:

This somehow won 2 games and made top 16. Not important, but weird!
No Gaea's Cradle. Funky.
No Shifting Woodland. Seems incorrect.
This deck has [[Ley Weaver]] and Lore Weaver to search it, but no Cradle of any kind. Very weird!
Risen Reef, but not that many more elementals than I have. It might be worth it. Card's insane.
They're on Scapeshift Field of the Dead, Food Chain, and Finale.

junior meteor Feb 22, 2026, 4:19 AM

#

Again, I never go into any decklist assuming it's bad, especially if it has results I can prove, I just want to know where this person's brain was when they made it.

#

I actually think the Scapeshift inclusion here is really cute, mostly because those dryads are lands you can sac to scapeshift to go get lands.

#

and Field of the Dead would be another way to potentially win the game.

lucid loom Feb 22, 2026, 4:20 AM

#

mhmm

#

feels kind of like a meta undercut

#

since creature-based decks that win via combat seem to be abnormal and thus throw people off maybe

junior meteor Feb 22, 2026, 4:21 AM

#

I think the lack of Shifting Woodland and Cradle feels wrong for cEDH personally but

#

everything else looks nice, lore/ley weaver is weird but ley weaver is an untapper that also searches something you can pitch to force

#

Frenzied Baloth was another card I'd written off, not realizing that once the combo is set up as long as I have Baloth out, there's no real window to stop me.

#

and again, i really like the idea of Risen Reef t3 into t4 jyoti

or avatar of growth, in my case, as well

junior meteor Feb 22, 2026, 4:26 AM

now, i don't think i can do scapeshift in my build

mostly because field of the dead is a gc

Jyoti doesn't directly have a need for scapeshift does it?

junior meteor Feb 22, 2026, 4:28 AM

#

no, but it does synergize pretty well

lucid loom Feb 22, 2026, 4:28 AM

#

yeah

#

since you can make more land tokens

junior meteor Feb 22, 2026, 4:29 AM

yeah, or sac the land tokens to scapeshift to go get actual lands

boy howdy i sure love avatar kyoshi earthbending my inkmoth nexus for 8 +1/+1 counters, and then paying 1 mana into inkmoth nexus

that won't cause any problems for anyone, i'm sure

#

but yeah, i considered mutable explorer mostly because it's 2 creatures for cradle count if i need it

#

which would then filter a colorless from sol ring into green

#

here's a question

#

is it worth scapeshift for value without field of the dead

#

just go scapeshift 2 dryad tokens to go get like, inkmoth nexus cradle

or is that a situation where i should be running crop rot

i need 3 cuts

and i really don't like cutting anything here

I might go down Elvish Reclaimer, but it's kinda there to search either Field of the Dead, Shifting Woodland, or Inkmoth Nexus

#

which are all gamewinning cards

#

I could go down Wistfulness, as well, but I like having the answer to an enchantment.

#

there's a world where it's just Elvish Reclaimer, Jill, and like... Flare of Cultivation or Herd Heirloom?

#

could also be flare of denial actually

junior meteor Feb 22, 2026, 11:32 PM

#

First test hand, just to make sure things work. Drift of Phantasms is like, surprisingly good.

#

Not only does it grab Food Chain, it grabs Rhystic, it grabs Eldritch Evo, it grabs Force of Negation.

#

that is indeed a turn 8 kill

#

(aesi should be in exile, i exiled it with food chain so i wouldn't kill myself)

#

and again, Godmaw being a creature came up because you can Sylvan Tutor for it

#

I do think Allosaurus Shepherd or the enchantment one would be really good in here

#

also that Finale was on the bottom 6 cards of the deck, i had to shuffle so I drew it but it was on the bottom 6 when i went off lmao

#

so there was a chance i just never see it

#

i think kinnan might be overkill

#

also once i had a deterministic kill on board i stopped counting things like field of the dead zombies or treasures, i just had to play it out

inkmoth nexus, gemstone, urza's saga, wasteland

#

and i think that's literally it

#

oh, field of the dead too

#

(fun thing here, field of the dead also enables some infinites with food chain)

#

so like, theoretically you don't need a haste enabler as long as you have 6 lands with different names that aren't a dryad arbor, food chain, and one of the lands is field of the dead

#

obviously this doesn't immediately kill so it helps if you have any of the landfall draw-ers

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:41 AM

#

Neither of my lines have involved a haste enabler haha

#

Next run is a tunr 5

#

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:46 AM

#

wait where

#

i dont see it i might be fuckin stupid

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:47 AM

#

Every jyoti cast is +4 mana from sprinheart+jyoti trigger from ashnod's, and I have double tireless for colored mana

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:47 AM

#

oh right

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:47 AM

#

Im gonna convert my infinite mana into a tatyova or aesi and draw my deck

#

You don't actually need two tireless actualy, I just played the second one for fun

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:47 AM

#

this does not kill it just makes infinite mana, but then you just sac jyoti to eldritch evo to make aesi

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:48 AM

#

It kills

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:48 AM

#

wait how

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:48 AM

#

Infinite mana>aesi>draw deck>haste enabler

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:48 AM

#

oh, because then once you have aesi you just draw crossroads

#

yeah

#

deck feels good, right?

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:48 AM

#

Yeah its solid so far

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:49 AM

#

how has herd heirloom felt in hands

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:49 AM

#

Adding the 5 and 6 drops for neo and evo have made it run a lot better

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:49 AM

#

yeah i think that's really it

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:49 AM

#

I would have missed 2 fast wins without them

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:49 AM

#

aesi and tatyova as draw engines off of sacing jyoti is key

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:49 AM

#

When I was goldfishing the first line I had the old list up and was like damn

#

This still is awkward

#

And then I remembered

#

Herd heirloom probably plays better than it goldfishes

#

It has not goldfished any better than a 2 mana rock for me

#

But my lines have all been really easy

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:50 AM

#

2 mana rock is still 2 mana rock, we're still gaming

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:50 AM

#

Yeah I was happy to have the acceleration

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:50 AM

#

yeah, now that im not running shit like kodama or intruder alarm

#

i think the deck is easier and just does the thing

#

and i pretty much always have counterspell backup on everything

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:51 AM

#

The restriction was a little awkward actually though

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:51 AM

#

yeah, you can't cast like, a crossroads off of it

#

which is rough

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:51 AM

#

Just one time I got pinched on mana cause I only had a colorless land in hand

#

And I wanted to play nantuko before my land

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:51 AM

#

yeah that'll do it

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:51 AM

#

ANd then I had the UU evoke guy

#

And yeah

#

I think if I had better mana I would have had a turn 5

#

Because I got pinched from play evoke+altar+food chain on one turn

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:52 AM

#

i think the mana base is the thing keeping this from being a b4 deck mostly

#

which idk if that's good

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:52 AM

#

It might need tuned back a bit, hard to say

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:52 AM

#

yeah

#

i might cut kinnan as a way to make it a little less consistent

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:52 AM

#

Manabases can definitely hold back a deck and thats actually fine

#

As long as you're interactable

#

Because it literally slows you down by 1-2 turns on average

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:53 AM

#

yeah

#

this deck is very pip-heavy

#

so those colorless lands are 👀

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:53 AM

#

I should track my mulligan averages more

#

But I think the mulligan average felt about normal, maybe slightly high

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:53 AM

#

but also i think the benefit from inkmoth nexus outweighs the negative of having it

#

same with field

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:54 AM

#

Only issue with field is the GC slot

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:54 AM

#

wasteland is mostly because i dont like losing to gaea's cradle

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:54 AM

#

Otherwise that card is the GOAT

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:54 AM

#

yeah, if i drop it i also go up a GC

#

but i like it in here, giving me an extra way to get to landfall loops is nice

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:54 AM

#

In real games with my fast B3 maze's end deck I win with field way more than with maze's end

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:54 AM

#

it might be too much though

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:54 AM

#

Growing rites has felt a bit awkard

#

Its about 60-70% to hit, and if its flipping I feel like im about to get wiped anyways

#

Then again, its obviously rites

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:55 AM

#

yeah

#

and cradle is

#

very good in this deck

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:55 AM

#

Flare was great

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:55 AM

#

flare's been really nice

#

i think being free has been a big boon

#

i would never run the other ones

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:55 AM

#

The clones are really good

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:55 AM

#

but flare being free is like, sure gamer

#

YEAH

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:55 AM

#

They definitely open up a turn faster line

#

Because they're a mana positive way to sac jyoti

#

And double up your critical mass pieces

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:56 AM

#

they're also just really nice to have for like, copying badgermole or whatever

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:56 AM

#

Thats what I mean by critical mass pieces yeah

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:56 AM

#

yeah sorry i was typing that before you sent the last message

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:56 AM

#

Jill seemed like a nice tutor target, and I do love her

#

BUT

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:56 AM

#

im a lil slow today i got anti-mite goop on my arms

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:57 AM

#

I feel like she's gonna be the card you're looking at the most while searching going, hmmm

#

I don't really have another way to say it

#

everytime I was tutoring I was like, huh

#

She's here

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:57 AM

#

she's not something i want to tutor every time

#

but definitely she can bounce an amulet of vigor or whatever

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:58 AM

#

Oh 100%

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:58 AM

#

and put a lands deck back a whole turn

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:58 AM

#

I think I was struggling because of her mana cost not lining up well with the things I would be saccing to get her

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:58 AM

#

she is an extremely strong tempo play and i appreciate her a lot for that

#

yeah

#

i will agree with you on that

#

i do not want to be neoforming a badgermole

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:58 AM

#

I will never neoform any of these two drops into her likely

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:58 AM

#

i will however evo a delighted halfling into her

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:59 AM

#

Yeah

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:59 AM

#

like every time

#

shit's cracked

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:59 AM

#

I think this function at 2 cmc would be much more comfortable

#

Because of eldritch from tokens and still neo off 1 cmc

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 2:59 AM

#

yeah but i can't have everything pensivecowboy

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 2:59 AM

#

Yeh

#

Shes a nice value piece too

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:00 AM

#

correct

lucid loom Feb 23, 2026, 3:00 AM

#

Im here

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:00 AM

#

like if you've got tatyova on board you can always just put jyoti back to hand

#

to draw a few cards

#

hi storm!

lucid loom Feb 23, 2026, 3:01 AM

#

hya

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:01 AM

#

storm the new build feels really good, sometimes it fishes a little early

#

but it feels REALLY nice

lucid loom Feb 23, 2026, 3:01 AM

#

doing the goreclaw goldfish now

what ya fishing?

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:01 AM

#

finding a win is very possible, you frequently have countermagic backup

#

jyoti

lucid loom Feb 23, 2026, 3:01 AM

Classic bait hand

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:01 AM

#

now with non-food-chain-combos

#

that hand looks so fucking tasty but you lose

#

100% of the time

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:01 AM

#

Indeed

#

CLASSIC bait

lucid loom Feb 23, 2026, 3:02 AM

short flare Classic bait hand

ooooo

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:02 AM

#

also i dont like casting remora t1 on b3 anyway

#

yeah lemme show you some sick test hands

#

#

this is an easy sneep

#

it's bait but it's so free

#

herd heirloom rhystic metamorph is just

#

really hard for me to pass up

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:03 AM

#

junior meteor also i dont like casting remora t1 on b3 anyway

Same, I always tell people just to wait a few turns to play it

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:05 AM

#

this is so fucking close

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:05 AM

#

Thats a snap mull for me

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:05 AM

#

i think if sink is literally any of my mana rocks

#

that's an easy keep

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:06 AM

#

I dont

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:06 AM

#

but it's so fucking bad

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:06 AM

#

Im looking really hard for at least one combo piece or value engine

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:06 AM

#

yeah fair

#

#

i've never been baited this hard in my life

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:06 AM

#

I am a very aggressive player though, as noted

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:06 AM

#

i have the fucking inkmoth mystic remora with counterspell backup

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:07 AM

#

junior meteor i've never been baited this hard in my life

This one would tempt me

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:07 AM

#

and a rock

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:07 AM

#

Have two interaction spells with the remora

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:07 AM

#

i feel like jesus being tempted by the devil in the desert by that herd heirloom

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:07 AM

#

AND the rock

#

Plus

#

This is the kind of game where herd heirloo could actually do something

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:07 AM

#

yeah exactly

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:07 AM

#

junior meteor i feel like jesus being tempted by the devil in the desert by that herd heirloom

IT GOT ME

#

I WAS TEMPTED

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:07 AM

#

this hand wants to play a slow game

#

YEAH EXACTLY

#

HEIRLOOM MAKES THESE HANDS LOOK REALLY NICE

#

you heirloom and put the heirloom draw on your inkmoth?

#

INSANE VALUE

#

im gonna playtest it and see where i get

#

just out of curiosity

#

first draw is sylvan library second draw is sol ring

#

i've never been vindicated like this

#

like this hand goes insane actually

#

i think i keep this every time

#

remora heirloom inkmoth is just too good

#

the worst part of playing inkmoth nexus is people assuming i am an infect deck when in fact i am only an infect deck when i feel like it

#

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:12 AM

#

Now thats a hand

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:12 AM

#

what do i t1 tutor for

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:12 AM

#

No idea whats going on here, but its gotta be good lmao

#

No idea

#

Im not convinced you do yet

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:12 AM

#

actually i know what it is

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:13 AM

#

You probably want either cub or an outlet

lucid loom Feb 23, 2026, 3:13 AM

#

junior meteor

https://tenor.com/view/well-hi-meme-accent-cat-gif-15756738

Tenor

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:13 AM

#

i see the vision and the answer is unfortunately tatyova i think

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:13 AM

#

Yeah

#

Its either cub, tatyova, or cobra I think

lucid loom Feb 23, 2026, 3:13 AM

#

I was also gonna say Cub

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:13 AM

#

Something like that

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:13 AM

#

fuck it let's see how it works out

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:13 AM

#

But if you YOLO cub then you're gonna wish you had tatyoa later

lucid loom Feb 23, 2026, 3:13 AM

#

because you can cast the cub

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:13 AM

#

Yeah

#

And its synergises with kennan

lucid loom Feb 23, 2026, 3:13 AM

#

mhmm

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:13 AM

#

And etaorph

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:13 AM

#

yeah tatyova is just safer

lucid loom Feb 23, 2026, 3:13 AM

#

even if the land wont

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:14 AM

#

but

#

hmm

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:14 AM

#

I really not sure I cast it turn 1 though, you might just want to have odds for lands

#

THat might be insane though

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:16 AM

#

t5 im just missing a haste enabler?

#

maybe it was actually search godmaw

#

:/

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:16 AM

#

Unlikely

#

Let me see

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:16 AM

#

#

we're on turn 5 here, no land played yet

#

the first thing that happens is always metamorph jyoti i think

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:17 AM

#

100%

#

Too bad we dont have flare in hand still

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:17 AM

#

yeah i fired it off t2

#

on kinnan

#

shouldn't have but did

#

i drew a sanctuary, i put flare back on top and drew it with tatyova

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:18 AM

#

This is a really hard hand in general

#

There's a lot of potential lines

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:19 AM

#

and then just like

#

pay my 4 mana for mycospawn to go get field of the dead?

#

#

this is where i ended up at the end of that turn

#

i have nothing to interact except force pitch delay/jill

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:20 AM

#

I mean its a good place

#

You have interaction up, and are reasonable set up for next turn

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:20 AM

#

but i untap and we're seeing another 4 cards?

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:21 AM

#

I guess it could have been godmaw actually

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:21 AM

#

minimum?

#

i think it might have been godmaw

#

it's so fucking rough to say

#

godmaw gives me all pieces in hand, i think this is safer

#

but probably wrong

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:22 AM

#

You still need a way to put jyoti back in the CZ, no?

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:22 AM

#

i had metamorph

#

in the opener

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:22 AM

#

Yeah, but thats just one iteration

#

You cant keep looping, can you?

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:22 AM

#

it's as many iterations as i want

#

bc i cast jyoti and sac the real one every time

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:22 AM

#

Oh yeah true

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:22 AM

#

and it works out bc i have kinnan if i do that

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:23 AM

#

Oh

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:23 AM

#

im gonna be real though i dont know if that line ever gets to godmaw

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:23 AM

#

Then its tireless

#

Im pretty sure it was worldy for tireless

#

Cause kinnan doubles treasures

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:23 AM

#

tireless was another option i'd considered

#

yeah

#

that's kinda the thought

#

it would make infinite 1/1s, i'd be able to present that t5?

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:24 AM

#

I believe yeah

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:24 AM

#

but it doesn't kill til t6 and is super weak if i see a single copy of toxic deluge

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:24 AM

#

I think it does leave you open to seeing a lot of good cards though

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:24 AM

#

i think sylvan for tatyova is better

#

not because its faster but because it's a safer line

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:24 AM

#

If you go +1 mana with that setup you just flip your deck with kinnan

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:24 AM

#

yeah

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:25 AM

#

I don't think you just want to spew 1/1s though

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:25 AM

#

ideally instead i just uh

#

draw finale

#

and cast it for x=11

#

?

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:25 AM

#

Sure

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:25 AM

#

oh wait kinnan can't

#

but kinnan can flip me into aesi or taty

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:25 AM

#

Well its a functional deck flip yeah

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:25 AM

#

who can draw me finale yeah

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:26 AM

#

You've got all the creatures in play

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:26 AM

#

yeah you're right, it's probably tireless there

#

i took a line that's safer but not as likely to win, i think

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:26 AM

#

Myco would have set you up to break parity for a T6 kill I think

#

Or actually maybe a turn 5

#

Because flare + myco for field gets you to break parity with tireless+kinnan

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:26 AM

#

yeah

#

god you wanna see the fucking

#

most vile hand ive ever seen

#

#

there is no way this is correct to keep

#

no fucking universe

#

but i want it

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:28 AM

#

Well

#

I think I might keep this too

#

Its a little close

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:28 AM

#

it has urza's saga go get exactly lotus petal lmao

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:28 AM

#

No blue card for force means I probably have to toss but

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:28 AM

#

yeah i think this is the baitiest hand i've ever seen

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:28 AM

#

This hand does most of the thing though

#

And it has protection

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:29 AM

#

lemme check my first 3 draws and see how it looks

#

it has a kill

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:29 AM

#

Any clone or sac outlet makes this hand solid

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:29 AM

#

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:29 AM

#

Yeah

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:29 AM

#

first draw was a metamorph

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:29 AM

#

Thats a kill

#

What is this, 4-5?

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:29 AM

#

uhh

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:29 AM

#

4

#

Unless there's some insane turn 3 line

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:30 AM

#

i dont think this kills t4, we don't have a way to generate blue mana?

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:30 AM

#

Lotus petal

#

🙂

#

Turn 1 saga>sol ring

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:30 AM

#

no i mean after the clone

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:30 AM

#

I havent actually thought about it very hard yet

#

Oh yeah

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:30 AM

#

we have no way to make blue

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:30 AM

#

Yeah we dont

#

This hand still needs an outlet anyways

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:30 AM

#

we also draw into sylvan library and sanctuary

#

so like

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:30 AM

#

lmao

#

classic

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:31 AM

#

we for sure get there on a hand like that

#

but i am VERY skeeved by the lack of any blue sources

#

i probably dont keep that

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:31 AM

#

Its very sketchy

#

Its a hand where you just accept a certain win %

#

And that you dont have very much control over it

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:31 AM

#

any topdeck land with a basic type and this hand goes crazy

#

i again am very upset at how close this is and i can't keep it

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:32 AM

#

I probably only consider keeping this if i'm in a pod where I think floodmaw and fluster can carry a lot of weight

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:32 AM

#

the only problem with this hand is that willowrush verge taps for blue and not green

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:32 AM

#

Even if virge was a trop

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:33 AM

#

i think if this was a trop i probably keep it

#

and lose

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:33 AM

#

I would definitely be tempted by it

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:33 AM

#

this is another hand where i am very easily tempted by seeing any land in the top 2 cards of my deck

#

bc if i do i think wistfulness does a lot for me here

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:33 AM

#

Wistfulness is definitely nice

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:34 AM

#

and of couse a topdeck delighted halfling makes this hand

#

gross

#

bad news, we didnt get there

#

the first land was not until t3

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:34 AM

#

classic

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:35 AM

#

yeah this is why we dont keep those

#

#

pfft

#

LOOK IT GUARANTEES ME MY FIRST 6 LAND DROPS

#

and does nothing lmao

#

also that's all but 1 of the islands in my deck

#

very funny

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:36 AM

#

Oh its that hand I had earlier but with reality shift instead of remora

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:36 AM

#

oh, i have one i think you're actually going to love

#

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:36 AM

#

Yeah I might keep this

#

See im a crazy person

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:36 AM

#

i actually like this

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:37 AM

#

I do actually like this

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:37 AM

#

but maybe not for the reason i should

#

if i just hit land drops this gets me tatyova and nim deathmantles jyoti back on the same turn?

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:37 AM

#

I like it because it has a lot of pieces that work with different things givining solid average draw equity, and being close to the secod of multiple A+B~ combos

#

Plus yeah, worst case we can just do tatyova +jyoti for value

#

I wouldnt keep it in a fast pod though

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:38 AM

#

so it's like, t1 island t2 growth chamber t3 vinestalk cast deathmantle
t4 springs cast jyoti t5 island neoform jyoti to get tatyova, nim deathmantle brings jyoti back?

#

and thats not even considering anything else i draw?

#

unfortunately tatyova misses the first 2 jyoti tokens

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:40 AM

#

I would cast deathmantle on 2 istead of growth chamber

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:40 AM

#

i think if people are being fast this sucks

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:40 AM

#

Yeah dont keep this in a fast pod

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:41 AM

#

yeah you keep this in a fast pod

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:41 AM

#

Yeah

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:41 AM

#

this hand is crazy

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:41 AM

#

This is a great hand

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:41 AM

#

3 pieces of interaction, heirloom, and planar genesis?

#

insane

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:41 AM

#

Yeah this is the thing

#

And if it turns out to be a slow pod you can hardcast the incarnation and go to work

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:42 AM

#

yeah

#

top 3 had drift of phantasms and counterspell backup too

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:42 AM

#

oh

#

You're already close

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:42 AM

#

like, this hand looks great, i probably keep something like that

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:43 AM

#

I would

#

Its got a lot goingn for it

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:43 AM

#

i honestly just like the chain of vapor herd heirloom reality shift in the opener

#

i dont even care about the rest

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:44 AM

#

I like that is has planar genesis

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:44 AM

#

yeah that helps a lot

#

2 draw spells is like

#

pretty good

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:44 AM

#

I still keep this without genesis, but its harder

#

Getting to see 5 more cards is a lot

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:44 AM

#

i drew 5 more, just for funsies

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:44 AM

#

Its just a high card quality hand though

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:44 AM

#

saw a concordant crossroads lmao

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:44 AM

#

Ah

#

So its like a turn 5 or something

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:45 AM

#

so that one did just have t5

#

idk i like this deck, it goldfishes well, from what im seeing it'll play into pods well

#

it is very soft to exactly toxic deluge or like, spikefield hazard

#

electrickery

#

but i knew that when i got into this

#

im like actively looking for cards i don't like seeing

#

and im not finding them

#

#

how much do you put on the idea you might draw a land in 3 draws

#

you have every combo piece but if you never see the 3rd land you die

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:47 AM

#

You just gotta run the numbers

#

I keep this though

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:47 AM

#

yeah me too

#

not only do i have all combo pieces i even have the infinite mana outlet

#

in case i lose crossroads

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:48 AM

#

90.2% chance to draw a third land by turn 5

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:48 AM

#

i drew it 5 in

#

LMAO

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:49 AM

#

92.2 actually

#

77.9% by turn 3

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:49 AM

#

oh, actually, the first turn draw was planar genesis

#

so i actually just have the land

short flare Feb 23, 2026, 3:49 AM

#

lmao

junior meteor Feb 23, 2026, 3:50 AM

#

so it's a t3 transmute drift, t4 cast jyoti, t5 cast crossroads and food chain?

#

no other lands even needed

#

god i fucking love this deck

#

Well, I think I'm actually fine with this list now, so I can go back to the other 2 I'm getting proxied so I can order them. Thanks for the help on that, Rouge!
