[Primer] R/G Lands

[nola_gold]

I'm sure this card is utterly unplayable due to its cost ... but mid to lategame, wouldn't Splendid Reclamation be ... insane?

maybe if coming into play tapped didn't suck.

Oh no. Reclamation lends itself to more of a combo deck; not a control, like us. You'd want to dump a bunch of lands in the yard and then Splendid them back with some number of Valakuts. IE: Good in modern.

What would you say are the hard match-ups these days, beyond ANT, Imperial Painter, and TES?

4c loam - fetchable wastelands with knight of the reliquary, they can combo off your depths, lots of hate
death and taxes - karakas, flickerwisp, swords. not the worst but one matchup i'm not a fan of.

Predictable miracles is a nightmare. You can handle both ponder and legendary miracles but the new one with 4 predict + 2 entreat is a very bad mu.

[Alexeezay]

Keep in mind that Ghost Quarter is even more effective against Predict - hold it up if possible.

Very good advice indeed. I feel like GQ being a valuable card which can give you a lot of information against Miracles (does my opponent wants to keep his/ her top card), or most U-based decks in general.

He was playing a tropical too. Curious to see his MD.

[Chatto]

I understand he was playing EE main. Hopefully we'll see a list!

Mostly play that match like it were a mirror and you should be a small favourite. If you splash blue for EE, so much the better. EE is also great against Entreat (and Miracles in general).

Burn is pretty rough for us, and UR Snap-Delver is not much better. ANT & TES are bad but not awful - S&T and Reanimator are much harder. Belcher is even worse, but High Tide is an auto-loss.

[Lord_Mcdonalds]

Burn is a pretty reasonable MU IMO, don't play more than 3-4 lands unless you have to and just play towards making a quick 20/20.

[Ciubulu]

Decks without wastelands like ur or burn are not very hard to beat, the best you can do is hide yourself behind a endless chasm shield and kill them with p.fire

Does anybody know more about the list David Long played yesterday? He finished just outside top 32 so scg didnt post his decklist. I saw fragments, and saw a trop and Ee I think.

[Chatto]

All I could make out of it was just one GQ, three EE and one Trop main.

[Dice_Box]

Just message him and ask.

[Admiral Nobeard]

Just message him and ask.

Is he on here and if so, what's his tag?

Just found my latest one-of spicy jank for weeklies:



Basically an improved Roar of the Wurm that is uncounterable from the graveyard. Gets over TNN and eats up Gurmag and Reality Smasher.

Also, hype for Desert subtype:

Desert also has the distinction of being one of the first lands to have a nonbasic land subtype on it. While we couldn't bring back Desert, the card, we definitely could bring back Desert, the subtype. The theme shows up lightly in Amonkhet, but will evolve quite a bit with Hour of Devastation. Source

Would love some interesting lands to add to our deck but I won't be getting my hopes up too much though since apparently Desert itself was deemed too powerful to bring back.

Best we can hope for is some new lands with the Desert subtype which aren't broken as fuck (lol) and some cards that care about the Deserts. Kind of like how SOM made Cloudpost a better card by printing another Locus. Desert is Modern legal too.

I have playsets of FNM Deserts, FTV Deserts, and original Arabian Nights Deserts just waiting! Never did track down a set of TS foils. :(

Burn is an MU where you can make a turn two token and still lose. Establishing a Chasm lock is not always possible. This is not an easy match. It's not S&T bad. It's not as bad as Storm, but it's not that much better either.

First of the desert subtype... let's hope for better later on.
