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...
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.
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...
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,...
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...
Good responses, I did see the Emry list. Replaying Monitors sounds really good, along with the dig and body.
I am tempted to cut the Ethersworn Sphinx's and play a pair of Paradoxical Outcome. For this to work i need as many free artifact spells as possible, so I would rework the list to include full sets...
I go back and forth on Nettlecyst. Its not as efficient as Cranial Plating and I can get the same big dude effect with Masters, which also pump up the team. Masters are blue for sideboard forces,...
It's pretty cool, I like it. The only hard hitters are Saga tokens and Cranial Plating, which is probably good enough, it just feels like the format is able to handle those for the most part. That's...
Meltdown doesn't hit Myr Enforcer, Sojourners companion, ethersworn Sphinx, and usually won't even hit Frogmite or Master of Etherium. The point of my build is to go wide with a draw engine...
Thanks for helping me with my bad deck! 🙂
I could play maindeck Canonist and I have a full set of Lodetone. I like Golem a lot, and its a card I forget about because it doesn't see much play. Four...
Made some small changes to the above list, streamlining the mana really well and getting it more stable. I have dropped the red for now, but I can always revisit it if I'm running into situations...
I am rethinking Springleaf drum now that I have 4 memnites. That gives me 8 free dudes t1 to enable it, and it provides colored mana for the draw spells and Masters. The only place I can really cut...
That's my thinking...if Vise deals 4 damage during a game (assuming t1) and then it taps for Grid to ping small creatures or provide reach then it makes sense. It's also likely to be the first cut...
I'm going a little deep, but I really want to play Black Vise. It feeds Affinity synergies and is very aggressive t1. It can also be used to tap for Ghirapur Aether Grid, which gives reach and board...
So I've organized the suggestions and will be testing them soon.
1) Cutting to only 4 taplands and playing Darksteel Citadel x4. I don't like that it doesn't make blue mana, but it accelerates...
I think skirge is ok, but generally not as good as a colorless creature due to being able to block Marit Lage even in the face of Sejiri Steppe. The lifelink isn't that necessary, I frequently finish...
New list, I think I've settled about 58/60 main deck for now and 13/15 in the side. It is very consistent, has a lot of inevitability built in with explosive turns 2-4.
4x Ornithopter
1x...
Yes, the Frogmites, Enforcers, Companions, and Masters hold the ground admirably. I have found the deck to have a bunch of velocity already with Thoughtcast/Monitor/Bauble so I don't need more card...
Vantress Gargoyle is an interesting idea, but probably too inconsistent as an aggressive threat. What are the mill rocks doing for you? I could see Lantern of Insight being a spicy addition.
I'm...
Made some small adjustments; Salvage titan is out, sacrificing artifacts early for a 6/4 isn't supporting the plan enough. I tried Nettlecyst for a few games, it has the same problem as Master of...
Did a few test games with Salvage Titan, and I won't be including more than 2 copies. In one game it was an aggressive threat but it left me without stuff to feed affinity, which is a big no-no....
New lists, with some cards changed to include Salvage Titan. I don't know where Nettlecyst fits into this, simply because it doesn't have evasion and it costs 3 mana. It could be additional Cranial...
That's a pretty cool combo, easily accomplished with dropping the 4 Masters and the Welding jar from the original list. It means I have to cut the Salvage Titan plan, or at least put it in the...
