War of the Spark

[bruizar]

How in the world are you guys talking about the Karn and not the Teferi?

Teferi will see a lot of play in standard esper as a way to stop reclamation from casting Nexus or other stuff. That + dovin’s veto makes esper the dominant deck in standard i think.

Karn in legacy however, is insane. These are the lines i look forward to:

Turn 1 ancient tomb, liquimetal coating
Turn 2 city of traitors, karn, striplock with +1

Or

Turn 2 sol land, karn -2 tormods crypt -> game 1 fighting chance against graveyard decks.

Or

Turn 2 sol land, karn
Turn 3 sol land mycosynth lattice lock
Turn 4 +1 animate lattice, attack for 6 until u win
Or

Turn 2 sol land, karn, any silver bullet or Sword of X Y which ever color your opponent plays

Or

Karn -2 get back whatever was Swords to Plowshared
