[Legacy Lessons] The Rise Of Punishing Blue

[Cartesian]

Mox + Loam + Chalice are old news though.

I wouldn't atribute the name of the deck to any of the cards inside it. mox + loam + chalice are old news. That doesn't mean they aren't crucial for the deck, but I don't think punishing chalice mox.dec quiet covers the deck either.

To be sure I wasn't suggesting that, or any other name for this particular deck. Only pointing out that, even if this deck uses new and innovative combinations of cards, it is still a chalice+mox deck at its core. 4 Chalice + 4 Mox is where this type of decklist always start, because it defines what you can have in the deck besides those 8. That is why I don't think it makes sense to name the deck after a sub-theme, like "punish blue" (the deck does so much more than that), or the Punishing Fire engine, or Loam for that matter.

agree wholeheartedly

I kind of like "Next Level Aggro Loam" or something along those lines. It's certainly not quite the traditional aggro loam, but it looks pretty derivative of the deck, just updated given new cards and a new metagame. A name like that I think would give a decent idea of what the deck is (somewhat related to Aggro Loam), yet indicates that it's changed in some significant way.

I like:

Anything But Blue

Kronberger sounds a lot like Cronenberg. It only make sense to call this deck "Videodrome" or at least "The Fly"!
Any way I really liked the read. This deck clearly shows how non blu decks can still be competitive especially if they punish a format that thinks blue is the only color you should play to be competitive.

My inclination would be to call it:

I hate U.dec

[wolfstorm]

Just looks like a much more controlling aggro loam, close to what it looked like when the loam/assault deck first took off.
