This is a very cool approach, but I am dedicated to Psychatog way to much to ever play a different UB control deck. Tog gives an almost combo-like finish.
Starting a thread which will cover the different versions, so far the most common is Ub but there is a legit Uw version, both have their strengths and weaknesses. Black gives you Duress and...
I played last weekend, 25 players, 5 rounds, went 2-3, had an absolute blast! This format is amazing and really balanced so far.
I wasn't able to get another Birds of Paradise so I ended up using...
Excellent! I feel that the core of 8cast aggro is pretty competitive. I am still tweaking on occasion. My next test is Lotus Petal over Springleaf drum. Drum feeds Affinity and plating, petal allows...
I'm building a deck for an October tournament, definitely going to post a few lists here once I figure something out.
The new 4 mana 4/5 is what this deck wants, it gains you life for every draw, meaning it's bonkers with Sylvan library. You even go +2 life playing janky stuff like Sign in Blood or Nights Whisper....
Is Erayo a potential Sideboard plan? I'm thinking as a way to get the blue count higher whole also providing a soft lock alongside Ethersworn canonist. Aggro g1, prison g2 but leaving in Cannoneer to...
My bad, wasn't looking to make a commentary on Standstill, just making the case that this deck is different enough to be it's own thread. That's all, sorry for the bad comment. Editing post now.
Moving to established decks, it appears that grixis is the most successful style. Standstill creates different play patterns, and Dress Down/Kroxa/new cards make this deck different enough from the...
How do you feel about Cursed Scroll? I have used it in an aggro version of 8cast and I loved how it provided reach. It isn't reliable against early small creatures but it helps close out games. I...
I always liked the interaction between Hatching Plans and Pernicious Deed. It fits on curve and rewards you for doing a powerful effect you already want in your deck, something good on its own. Green...
It was originally to trample over delvers, but also to create a significant threat with Hexmage. Maybe it's time to drop it, I really don't have a lot of Delver in my local metagame. Not sure what I...
New list:
-2 Blooming Marsh
+2 Nurturing peatland
-1 Not of this world
+1 Life from the loam
-1 dryad arbor
+1 Boseiju
I'm going to try your first version, but take your alternate route with Lotus Petal/Monitor (I don't have LEDs.) I really like it, especially the Force Sideboard and Scroll tech.
It's been a little while since I really dug into legacy, but a new LGS opened up recently and we had our inaugural legacy weekly today. I'm not an online player, I only do paper. I played a fairly...
Love it, it's the kind of setup I started with. I'm trying to get a full set of Kappa Cannoneer (found 2 so far) to get the blue count higher maindeck. It's definitely better than nettlecyst, which...
Good points. The biggest reason for red is Pyroblast in the board and finding a way to squeeze in Iteration, however I think Mystical dispute does a passable Pyroblast effect, Bitterblossom
and...
I am looking to put this deck together again, probably Grixis for DRC and some number of Expressive Iteration. Unholy Heat and Pyroblast are also cards that reward a red splash. My question is this:...
That's reasonable, when I played 8rack in modern I played Tarmogoyf for the same reason, to close games fast. I definitely think you want evasion, it's just too important. Tombstalker seems about the...
I don't think Liliana is bad at all, but I don't think 4 is correct anymore. I like something that goes wide for a finisher for a deck like this, like Bitterblossom or Lingering Souls.
You might change your mind after playing against Kappa Cannoneer, from all reports the thing is a house. I wouldn't play damn over Swords, but there were no copies of Swords in the posted deck...
I think for a good aggressive deck with Kappas the whole midrange/legendary approach is too distracting. Better to just play an Emry/traditional 8cast build. My budget version doesn't need Mox Amber,...
How is Damn not an automatic 4-of in here? Seems tailor-made for a deck like this. I'm also not convinced Liliana is an automatic 4-of anymore for legacy. I think something like Ensnaring Bridge is...
I'm working on this deck again, definitely including Kappa Cannoneer and Reality Heist. I think they are both really powerful in this shell due to the amount of speed in the affinity engine. The...
