Field in standard
Astrolabe in pauper
Not shocked.
As I said, the issue is not the power as a Shatterstorm will do massive harm to the deck, the issue is the time it can take to win.
If Field of Ruin was still legal do you think that would be making a difference?
Standard I can not comment about, but I was talking to someone who does play Standard and he did bitch about Field. I asked why Ruin was not used against it, told it rotated out. Great. They had an...
Steely Resolve is so fucking good fight now. As is Pithing Needle. I don't love the match but I'm not going on without a plan. Oh and helpfully, Gaak and Lage are Avatar's.
It's not Thopter Sword at all. That combo is losing favour for Paradoxical Outcome. Sometimes used with Jeskai Ascendancy and Emry. Sometimes without the Ascendancy.
Outcome, Urza, a token...
Takes it from 7 Moxen to 4. I'm not sure that's good enough to change anything. No, I think Urza is the issue.
I have been watching vids of the Uzra deck, the Paradoxical one. While I do believe that no changes will be made this cycle the playstyle of the deck will force intervention soon. Even if it comes up...
Nope, I'm saying that since the best deck in the format is moving towards having Crop Rotation and Karakas, Depths is looking like it's going to have a harder time steamrolling events unaposed.
...
No, you are objectively wrong. porcupinetreeman has shown us all the error of our ways and the card MUST BE BANNED FOR THE GOOD OF ALL THAT IS HOLY. Until you know, next month when it gets pushed out...
Oh no, I quoted you perfectly. Your out of your dam tree on Depths.
In other news, there is no world where banning Hymn and leaving DRS in the format was going to solve anything. And I say this as...
Survival of the Unfit
:1::g:
Enchantment
:g:,Target player orders a taxi to go to McDonald's.
But not EDH legal. Thats where this will end up.
So the card is doing really well in the format and it's beating up on Wrenn. I am going to go with a solid no on this foolish idea. Or, to quote someone better than I at this:
Only one with such power shall exist. She is pure and she is worthy of devotion. She is one that you must dedicate hours of your day invested in the art of acting or writing to please. Blowing down a...

Now that's a mechanic I like.
Oh no, the real fun is when you make Lage and then use her to cast Hogaak.
In not personally sold on having Loam main in this list, not sure I can dig up the space. What have you go?
It is. I find if the opening assault is answered the deck runs out of steam fast, but very few decks not playing White are able to do that.
DTB is updated. I feel it is rather on point with what is currently in a strong place. To note, Lands (My deck of choice) is often a meta deck, attacking a set kind of meta. It is gaining strength...
I am moving this into the DTB because I feel its playing a rather significant part in the uptick of Depths of late.
If someone would like to do even a basic primer on the newer deck please let me know. It feels odd putting this with an opening post talking about DRS in the DTB section.

June was 3658, cut at 168.
As someone who has spent the last two weeks playing Hogaak Depths, I am willing to state with compleand total certainty that Faithless has played no part in my broken Hogaak plays.
As someone who...
Actually that's my fault. I need to update.
