Link to decklist? Any tips for going to an RCQ when usually a Limited player?
@ZimMTG7 күн бұрын
Tips: practice on ranked best of 3 on Arena, learn the meta to know what you're up against (I look at mtggoldfish.com), and figure out your sideboard swaps for the meta match ups. Good luck! Here's my list: www.moxfield.com/decks/y14M7EP1kUOidO07jLW7uA

No destroy evil, barrage or helix in the board ?

I’d rather run Elspeths Smite than Helix to exile Slasher, the Enduring creatures, and Heartfire Hero (didn’t have it for the RCQ so didn’t run it here), and Get Lost covers the big creatures and enchantments.

I liked the Gruel Aggro list run by Keisuke Sato in the Arena Championship, feels like it addresses the issue with the regular mono red and Boros Auras or burn lists. The extra fuel provided by Questing Druid is nice while giving the impression you can mulligan more aggressively.
@ZimMTG8 күн бұрын
Yeah, Auras is a terrible deck for mulligans and only has Emberheart Challenger and Feather of Flight to gain cards. But having access to Sheltered by Ghosts can be an instant game changer.
@alexanderfortier54888 күн бұрын
@@ZimMTG Sheltered by Ghosts has to be a top 3 most powerful card in standard right now, yeah. I just don't like where the deck's consistency is at. But it, mono red, and convoke have the best theoretical starting draws if they do hit imo

It's super interesting how different this deck is from the one I use. Myrel is indeed really slow, especially if you can't find a land, but you also don't have any ramp cards in your deck it seems. I have all of Arcane Signet, Springleaf Drum, Mox Amber, Mind Stone, Coldsteel Heart, Eiganjo and Pearl Medallion in my deck and recently got Myrel out on turn 2, after a big turn 1 of Skrelv, Mox Amber, Springleaf Drum. Is there a reason why you don't play any of the doubling effects like Mondrak and especially Roaming Throne? Don't need to have that many soldiers on board if you play Roaming Throne the turn after Myrel gets on board. I feel the trick to her deck is having lots of protection, getting her out fast (with protection if available) and swing with multipliers. Swiftfoot boots are really useful and give hexproof and Lorien Brooch with their landwalk, so you don't have to get indestructible every turn. There should be about no turns where you can't swing with Myrel, because you both have a board. I really feel lots of protection from color, indestructible effects and multipliers with ramp cards are the way to go (with lots of removal of course), since just playing lands and soldiers one after the other is way too slow and it doesn't matter that much if you have two or three soldiers on board beforehand then. Green ramps so fast in Brawl that they put out 5 mana creatures on turn 3 and 7 mana on turn 5 a lot of times, it feels really overwhelming at times.

When looking at how abilities are spread across the color pie green certainly does a fair amount with creatures but interactions with permanents in the graveyard is a green ability, whereas black tends to purely interact with creatures in the graveyard. Mechanics aside when I think about the idea of a woodland shifting into hallucinatory terrain in a state of delirium enchantments and lands make much more sense than creatures. With that being said yeah that card interaction is busted lol.

This is a unique take on Angels! I'd recommend trying Angel of Vitality. Works well in my deck! Also, I got a little confused when you kept on saying "combo pieces." I think the term you're looking for is synergistic pieces. Combo pieces imply you just win the game when they're out.

Clear goal that helps people understand why you're playing this deck and even spread visibility of future events to build awareness and excitement of the game. Outlined not just key cards in the deck, but which specific decks they're meant to help you compete against and what cards they're aimed at. Humble and positive attitude overall. Love this.

If you're still looking for a BO3 Eldrazi list I can recommend one. Search on youtube for "DoubleE MTG Eldrazi". I've been playing this list for a few weeks (admittedly tweaked now) and it's a blast. That list runs Chalice in the sideboard though. Also, it has land destruction. Edit: This list looks fun as well, but I prefer BO3.

Man . . . watching you play like this doesn't even look like its fun. I started playing last year and had a lot of fun learning both in Arena and paper but I'm about to the point of giving up on the game before I become anymore invested. Arena to me has some serious issues and I don't have as much time as I'd like to go play in person.
@ZimMTG4 ай бұрын
I get that, but you can get what you want out of this game. Want to try weird stuff? You can. Want to win? You can. Want to meet and play with new people? You can (in-person with commander). This one doesn’t look fun because this deck is bad against the meta, but I have a ton of fun with the deck I really love that can compete. And a lot more fun playing paper in person. Arena is just great for experimenting and practicing with the smallest investment.
