View Full Version : Deck Choice in a weird Meta

Tournaments are finally fucking resuming around here. Thank God.
Here's the weirdness. I have the following decks completely assembled and ready to play:
RB Goblins
Merfolk
RGBW Survival
4C Planeswalker Landstill
Ichorid
Whichever one of these I take, the other four will probably be lent out to prospective players who don't have decks completely built. Also, while I don't know exactly what else I'm facing, I do know one thing: Nobody as of yet has anything with Countertop assembled.
Just for shits and giggles, which would you play?

Play Ichorid, put GY hate into the decks you loan out and win anyways.

The Survival deck sounds promising, if you are sure that no Countertop decks are roaming. Else Ichorid, because it's just normaly good in a random meta, that doesn't expect it..
[edit] You could also just make a Ad Nauseum / Tendrils deck and destroy everyone =P (if you can get the cards for it of course)

No Counterbalance! Blowout!
I don't know goblins' survival matchup, but it seems like the best choice (other than the previously mentioned awesomeness).

Survival is always the way to go. If you're opponents have randomness, or even alot of counter top based decks. Survival just rapes it all.RAWR!!11!

Goblins has always seemed to fair well against randomness, at least in my experience. But, then again, what did you mean by randomness? If randomness is Angel Stompy well... maybe not so much Goblins.

I'd go for either Goblins or Merfolk and hope you wouldn't face that single ichorid deck. If there's one thing both of these decks excel at, it's pounding other, not as wellbuilt decks into dust, assuming your 'weird' meta means not as well developed.
If that '4c planeswalker landstill' was 'UWb landstill' instead I'd go for that since there's nothing that deck can't handle.

Survival has an amazing match against most random jank. I'd seriously suggest using it whenever you enter an unknown field.

From the ratings of the people you play against, it won't matter.
