Fable a legit legacy card, needs banned. Vein ripper is fine, yall need to git gudd. Treasure cruise is utterly busted and wotc are delulu if they think its fine 😂. The green deck also needs more bans, and I think it should be the fish-lady planeswalker

I think to fix pioneer propperly they need to: Ban: Sorin Amalia / wildgrowth walker Unban: Once upon a time Create tools for an aggro deck
@crawdaddy23126 сағат бұрын
Unbanning once upon of time would be nuts👀 aggro decks for sure get better if amalia doesnt exist. If those bans happen then id like to see where the meta goes from there before unbanning anything

The answer was WotC will ban nothing as it would hurt their bottom line.

The thing with Nadu is that, yes, is very powerful, but also have the glaring issue that Wizards can't use the best tool they could use to measure its potency (MTGO and MTGA) because of the time limits on the games preventing the Combo from fully functioning and most LGSs don't really report their events to Wizards either. So. they must basically rely on Tournaments they DO organize themselves (PTs and RCQs) to do this. But, here's the thing: There's no guarantee we'll see the situation that happened in the PT Amsterdam repeating again since, now, every pro player is fully aware that Nadu is going to be (one of) the Deck(s) to beat and will be prepared to deal with it (so expect Decks/Sideboards with a good chunk of Nadu Hate (5 Damage Spells, Boardwipes, cards that punish Adding cards to hand/Landfall Triggers, etc) during this month's RCQs. One of the biggest factors that allowed Nadu Decks to perform like it did on PT Amsterdam is the fact that most players never expected Nadu at all, they all expected Ruby Storm (which is the biggest factor that explains its poor perfomance on PT Amsterdam). Now, with every player finally aware of it, will Nadu be capable of overpowering the hate that will be definitely coming against it and consistently top/win every RCQ next month? If it can, then a ban to Nadu is more Guaranteed more than ever. If it cannot (and Nadu's Performance on PT Amsterdam will remain a one time thing that stems from players failing to plan for the event correctly because of the lack of time between MH3's Release and PT Amsterdam), then it will be unlikely we'll see a Nadu ban and, if we see one, it will be a half meassure that will likely not trully work

@the4thwall765 it isn't "holding" midrange. The card is ramp, card selection, and a win condition on the back. Midrange decks would need to find something else to fill the hole in the 3 drop slot.

I have a strong feeling you completely mixed the Gruul aggro decks :) The one I quess you are referring to is "Gruul Vehicles" this one is basically not existing as of today, no one is playing it, mostly due to rather bad MU with phoenix and absolutely awful Amalia. Vehicles have amazing vampires MU (big threats, wide board, pick your poison, dorks to sac to cover ward and most imporant - akroan war). I am a gruul fan and I have tried to force the archetype. The other "meta deck" gruul aggro is more like a monoR variant and it is consistently keeping some 5:0, not a deck for a big tournament but can steal some games (mostly due to awful amalia MU, you either lose or draw slightly unfavourable vamp/UR) If mathematically you lose to top 3 main decks, there is no point in even trying to force :) Gruul aggro (atarka?) is in my opinion C tier, while Gruul Vehicles - off meta/rogue deck. Great wrap up nevertheless :)
@crawdaddy23128 күн бұрын
You would be undoubtably correct! Don’t ask me why i was talking about gruul vehicles and not the slickshot aggro deck. That said i agree with you! I was pretty hype on the slickshot aggro decks when they were first seeing play and now they just feel meh. Thank you for the comment!!

Solid rankings! One thing I'll say about Waste Not is that it *really* tests your on-the-fly sequencing skills. Knowing when to plus Liliana before Thoughtseizing or vice versa, holding back Go Blank to try and hit two relevant cards vs. firing it off early to exile their yard, the list goes on. Definitely a deck that rewards practice.

You can interact with it but for the more aggressive decks in the format, it puts a lot of pressure on whether or not they have a removal spell for it before it goes off. Not to mention Cord of calling, rally the ranks, or collective company will get your combo pieces and then protect them. Geological appraiser was banned for a similar reason if I'm not mistaken. Turn three wins as a whole make a lot of decks a lot weaker and less fun

If they reprint it the price will go down. Then collectors who have several copies of the card will be unhappy. So it’s a 2 way street. Someone will be unhappy and someone will be happy. If it’s not going to make everyone happy then why change it imo. I don’t mind them reprinting cards for standard usage. But to lower the price of a card by reprinting it is something I hope they avoid doing.
@crawdaddy231219 күн бұрын
But why? I can understand special versions and serialized cards being expensive but just the regular version of a card being nearly 400 dollars for a play set is crazy. If they can reprint the ring i think that would be the best coarse of action. But if they cant and it continues to be a staple of the format then there is a good chance itll be inaccessible to most of the players who dont currently own a playset of the one ring
