[@PlaneswalkerChris-ms9iq]

Loved this deck last standard. Bring on the new cards!

[@sheaandrus-oak6546]

Great deck. I'm also super sad, Trash-born tyrant was cut from the list entirely 😢

[@typicaldutchgaming8667]

Nice one ❤

[@PowrDragn]

Thanks 🔥

Calamity isn’t giant or small, it can adjust to whatever size it needs to be

[@calijs9420]

The first game is a perfect example that this deck doesn’t need to change lol

[@PowrDragn]

Oh, it changed. You can mana ramp and removal that were solid creatures. :)

@@PowrDragn I just prefer gold vain, it just works so good for me

Smuggler’s surprise is so siqq

[@theperfectbeing]

It's a good deck but I think that glimpse the core is far too limited and unimpactful, I'd replace it with Wandertale Mentor or Search for the Tumbleweeds, search costs one more but it scales with your land and procs off of Terror. Ramp cards in decks with limited card draw are only good in early turns, otherwise they are a dead draw when topdecking.

[@PowrDragn]

It's fine. I've played variants of this deck many times on the channel and I'm good with it. The card being two mana is important. But, like I always say, feel free to play it in your version if you like. There's more than one way to build most decks. And ultimately you should play cards that you enjoy.

What's the point? Just win on turn two.

What’s the point? You don’t need a high win rate to enjoy mtg.

@@tylerb2644 What's the point? Good luck finding a game without a mono red leyline 80% of the time.

[@lordsquibbles1851]

(and actually getting to play on turn 2)

[@theperfectbeing]

@@lordsquibbles1851 That's only in BO1, most people prefer BO3. I'm currently Diamond in BO3 and I've only seen maybe 2 aggro decks in the past week.

Tempory Lockdown while having your own Atraxa Manifested/Cloaked enables one to get rid of your own lockdown to cheat Atraxa into play. Or if the opponent wants their creatures back it may be not such a good diea to remove the enchantment.

[@PowrDragn]

Lockdown doesn't remove lockdown. Otherwise you couldn't play multiples through the game.

[@l0lan00b3]

What happens what you kill a cloaked/ manifested card? Do you just pay the mana cost to flip?

[@mave6602]

@@PowrDragn that wasn't what I meant. If the opponent exiles multiple creatures with lockdown but also their own cloaked Atraxa they get their Atraxa cheated into play if they play an enchantment removal on their lockdown or if the opponent removes their lockdown. So if that deck you played against is forced to play lockdown while having cloaked permanents they have an additional advantage in case the opponent gets rid of their lockdown.

[@mave6602]

@@l0lan00b3 A manifested/cloaked card is just put into the graveyard when it dies. But you can flip them as a reaction to a "destroy target creature" effect they just turn face up. The action to turn them face up won't use the stack. ETBs aren't triggered when a manifested card is flipped. If the creature dies anyway there is however close to not good reason to flip it unless it has a death trigger or protection/hexproof/indestructible. That is why the opponent build a flicker deck. the cloaked card can be exiled and returns to the battlefield getting it's original etb. And it just happens that even Tempory Lockdown could do the trick for that purpose.
