So when the new Karn becomes legal, are you guys all going to test him? I'm trying to figure out where and how I'm going to slot him into the deck. I feel like it's a mid-game card like Thought-Knot Seer or Endbringer, but I'm leaning toward cutting the Azor's Gateway/Sorcerous Spyglass slot for him. Thoughts?
- 'Pathy' on MTGO
- Eastern PA player
The problem I see is that does not really protect itself - It can replace Coercive Portal or other card advantage stuff like Azor's Gateway, but it costs real mana and not Eldrazi mana and it does little to stabilize you. On the other hand it makes creatures from out of your otherwise useless Monoliths and Thran Dynamos late in the game.
I guess 1-2 are ok as it is another planeswalker that draws you cards and gets you to your All is Dust/Ugin to reset the board or Endbringer/Oblivion Sower to stabilize.
Chalice on 1
Last night I went 3-1 running this list but with a few minor changes.
-1 Newlamog, 1 Kozilek butcher, 2 thespian.
+ 2 ballista, 1 Karakas, 1 Wastes.
Also I had a much different sideboard.
-4 ensnaring bridge, 3 helm, 2 Wail
+ 3 Endbringer, 2 Wurmcoil, 1 dust, 3 Spyglass
2-1 W vs Grixis Delver
0-2 L vs Spiral Tide
2-0 vs Tezzerator
2-0 vs Grixis Delver
I saw zero pieces of hate game one, and mulled to 5 game two, playing a trinisphere on turn five or so. It's a MU that you can win on turn one with a chalice, and can slow down with a TKS but you need to play them and not have them sit in your deck.
People in my meta are trying to get cute using Path to Exile. A copy of wastes keeps them honest.
I don't own any bridges, so I had to go with the next best thing: Endbringer.

Warping Wail gets bonus points for countering Natural Order:-)
Being on the draw vs Elves can be frustrating though, sometimes they are insanely fast.
Btw, can we beat infect in a consistent manner? The best things i can come up with is quick ramping a ballista @2 and the obvious T1 chalice on the play.
