Without a doubt the best overall tools will float atop of other options as staple cards, but it would not hurt to leave some space for more narrow answers rather than immediately removing that space...
I don't think there is a need to spoil people with powercreeped unconditional boardwipes if there is just so much room to give to fantastic narrower cards which have fallen from grace like Dread Of...
Can someone elaborate the chain of thought that SnT is too powerful because Grizzel/Emrakul, but rendering creature decks completely unplayable by Oath into Grizzel/Emrakul is fine?
/thread
No?
In case of Alex B. that's 4+3 cards drawn and 2 put back i guess.
I think the correct order for stallers is: Put Brainstorm on the table, think about which land to tap, ask for it to resolve, draw 1, tank, draw 1, tank, draw 1 tank, rearange cards in hand two...
Ad Nauseam is easier to access thanks to Wishes, draws more cards and doesnt refill your opponents hand in a blue field.
The strategy of Draw7s isnt really successful in Legacy due to the lack of...
With Omniscience on the table, Griselbrand is just another "cantrip" to find Emrakul. Change my mind.
I think that topic was drained over years and WotC shattered it forever with the infamous Twitter statement.
In that light, you might wanna consider rephrasing and ask if all these cards were not...
Ron, we both know that this would have required WotC to actually pay attention to the format and find out if the removal of Terminus would make Miracles soft enough to aggro to have predators like...
I think it's a creative debate on a hyopthetical scenario, but also a pointless one after all, given that WotC has already declared the cantrip shell as the holy cow of the format.
When i made the post i meddled the quoting and didnt check it immediately afterwards, leaving an unreadable post, I had to fix.
I dont think anyone claims that SnT and Grixis are the same, but...
I mainly analyzed the Miracles era so I took that as the example, but you are free to look at the TC or DRS eras to see if these were able to top these numbers. I think that the TC era with its ~81%...
As mentioned, several big tournaments in the past have published full metagame data and the result is always the same: Blue top decks overperform every fucking time and i dont really want to nicpick...
I beg to pardon. We have a decade of data showing that the cantrip shell is the unquestionable king of the format and claiming that non-blue decks are equally compeditive in that longterm statistic...
Dice is pointing you to the DtB section of this or other websites only covering a span of one or two months within a decade of Xerox dominance. Moreover the data is pretty clear that Xerox gives you...
Dice, I guess i can save my breath after you already outlined that current DtB status means nothing in the face of a decade dominanted of the ever same deck core and predators.
Instead, i wanna...
It's nice that you partly list decks without any major Top 8s in the last months as a Counterargument to a) Loam, Eldrazi and Stompy all playing Chalice and b) decks like DnT & Co being no smart,...
I think, by pointing to the average Top8 currently "only" consisting 5 Brainstorm decks instead of the usual 6-7 and undermining the facts that this is a) just an outliner within the history of...
I think people make too much of a buzz about what artworks and nanes their lands have or what icon is in the top right corner of cards. In a format with so much colorfixing its plain irrelevant what...
After the Brainstorm statement and Leovold, I think its outright intended to give Ux aggro-control decks asymmetrical hate to battle opposing aggro-control and combo
I think its better than Meddling Mage if you are on UWx and want to drop a roadblock against combo in order to ensure they can't go off without having to guess the correct to name.
So you claim that a hypothetical future Deadnought Deck has to run Standstill, because the decktype ran Standstills 6 years ago before it vanished?
Guess UW Miracles was never a deck in the first...
Yeah, because we talk the viability of a HYPOTHETICAL card. What's next? Pointing me to the lack of GPs the deck has won so far? Ffs, man.
Why the actual fuck is STANDSTILL now a criteria or...
So what? Do you tell me the deck cant run Wastes or stifles to combat opposing Wasteland? Ever Dark Depths deck has the same issue, but this iteration can drop its fatty T1 off 1 land and 1 mana...
