welcome to MTG in the year of our lord 2021. You only get to play uncommons if they're removal and commons are strictly draft chaff or for use in ladder grind mono red and mono white agro.

That's been my issue too. If you're not willing to pay real money (like me), it is still possible to make decent headway, but you'll be playing that same one or two decks you have quite often. It's a grind, but it is possible to keep up. The real challenge, for me at least, lies in not considering that grind a chore. If I don't feel like playing, I won't. Trying to force it will just make me want to stop playing the game long term. Plus, there's always drafts to shake things up, if you ever get tired of facing standard decks with their super strong cards. It's nice to get into a draft every once in a while where you'll only have to face one bomb per deck, if that. Many decks don't even have any and it's not too difficult to break even. And even if you operate on a loss, you always get to something out of the deal. You may have to work your way back up afterwards, but it doesn't usually take too long. All in all, the game is fun and diverse enough that it's possible to enjoy on a F2P basis, provided you don't set your sights too high.

@@Xylarxcode I'm willing to pay real money. I'm not willing to pay real money for packs with the "wrong" mythics and rares, and a tiny chance for wildcards if I buy 30 or so. If Arena let me buy wildcards directly for gems, I'd be dangerously close to a whale. But I bet they'd overprice them, because the company is so heavily tied to the random pack mechanic.

Agadeem's Awakening is really nice in this Deck. Get everything back TWICE. Necroduality triggers when the creature enters (not like reflections of littjara when you cast it). It also helps avoiding flood/screw. And the best sweeper for this Deck is imho Meathook Massacre (not Fear/Snow). You can play it for 0 vs. Control. So they are dead when they use their sweeper.

Meathook was certainly worth a mention in the extra cards segment. I like Agadeem's more in BO3 where there's fewer aggro decks to punish the life loss.

I made two little changes, I swapped one Archghoul for a Narfi, and removed 1 blue mana for a Haunted Voyage. In order to deal with some long games. GJ, looking foward for new decks.

I have some doubts that going for snowlands and necroduality is the best way to play zombies. I think tempo variant with more instant speed interactions with flip the switch and the zombie tribal instant that taps creatures and draws a card might be quite a bit better to go with amalgam, and get those hits with huge champions in. Flip the switch also provides some nice exploit fodder, and if we don't play snow, mana will be quite a bit better. But maybe priest is just too good to pass, and I'm underestimating it too much.

I really feel like you should remove priest of haunted edge if for no other reason than the meta is just so control heavy that it’s going to really set you back at times. I know you arguably won a match because of it being able to remove the blade historian but you are more than likely going to lose a ton of matches due to it not helping you punch through early and pressure all the epiphany decks. Seems worth the trade off at least in the short term while the meta looks the way it does.
@LegenVD2 жыл бұрын
Creature decks like Monowhite and Monogreen are still a much bigger metagame share than Epiphany, especially in best of one. With the exploit creatures it's not as much of a liability as it used to be. Just takes one game of curving Priest into either Rider or Archghoul to convince me.

I have been climbing in historic for a while and all my standard decks cycled out so I built this one and started climbing the ladder from bronze and in my experience this deck under preforms so bad. I am struggling to get past silver cause every single person is playing some sort of instant sorcery izzet deck and if not red blue then red something but this deck gets folded by none creature decks and that’s the only thing I can find on ladder. I think this deck relies on a few key cards to much and in my experience it never has any finishing power and when you finally do have the main engine of the deck doing stuff it’s either to late or they have a much better engine up and running. And for some reason I can literally NEVER get necroduality in my hand I have dug down to 17 cards left in my library one time and it still dodges me. I think it needs more than I few tweaks to get there but overall it is fun to see zombie nonsense but I wouldn’t recommend you built this deck there are much better ones on this channel to choose from. Love the content though keep it up 👍. Also if you built the deck as well please let me know how your experience has been with the deck cause I want to know if it really is the deck our I have trash rng Edit: after playing a lot more with this deck i will say it is good against some creature decks (mono white is still kind of an issue) the problem is I never seem to match up against creature decks
