[@myrdynn6257]

hey dude, u seems cool, but i have a little advice for u, make a sound test before recording lol. So we ll ear u haha

[@MoldyKumquat]

I appreciate it! I also completely agree!

[@ilike2cudance]

i prefer Bo3. any ideas of sideboard?

[@MoldyKumquat]

If I was to play this in BO3 I would change some cards around in the main. I would take out Tinybones, the Pickpocket and Lazav, and replace them with Bloodtithe Harvester and Sheoldred. (Which after the fact is likely a good change to make in BO1 as well. As for the sideboard I would probably do something like this: 1x Cutdown 1x Go for the Throat 2x Duress 2x Negate 3x Brotherhood's End 2x Liliana of the Veil 2x Tishana's Tidebinder 2x Gix's Command That's something to work with. Would need adjusted based on what you're seeing.

@@MoldyKumquat thanks for the ideas. i havent played standard since sheoldred came out! so im so lost in what the main "sideboard" cards are. and honestly i dont want to read through every single card. lol

[@MoldyKumquat]

@@ilike2cudance Any time!

[@KodasGarden]

I genuinely cannot win with this deck, I don't understand how people do it lmao

[@MoldyKumquat]

What are you typically going up against?

[@KodasGarden]

@@MoldyKumquat the typical stuff, boros convoke, mono red, rarely UW control. I even got out-tempoed by a mono black deck. the deck is either too slow or they always have answers for every single spell I cast, there is rarely an in-between. all in all I played 20 matches with grixis crimes/outlaws and I lost 17 of them

[@MoldyKumquat]

@@KodasGarden I hate you've had that experience. I've played around 100 games with the deck and I've won about close to 50% of them. I know as far as pacing goes, I look to get Tiny Bones Joins Up in my opening hand, as well as a Vadmir, Marchesa is key to victory as well. Sometimes I know it seems like one gets overrun, but I think it can even out. Not saying continue to play it if you are losing. 17 loses would make me rage for sure! lol. I just posted another Outlaw/Legends deck in Golgari, and I feel it is better. One thing is for sure, it's early for the new set. In about a month there will be some calming on what is viable. This time in the previous set I was playing Insidious Roots and thought it was going to be unstoppable! Now if I try to play it I can't win for anything!

[@KodasGarden]

@@MoldyKumquat yeah I've had that opener a few times, and it just feels like it gets overrun too quickly or I get spot removaled to death unfortunately. I feel like it's probably bad luck, because I see lots of other people doing well with the deck

[@MoldyKumquat]

@@KodasGarden I think a good chunk of BO1 is luck. Just keep your head up and find what you have the best luck with!
