$40 of Eerie Auras vs Duskmourn Standard | Budget Magic

[@daviddent5662]

Seeing Azorius being used for more than control makes my heart smile. Seeing it in this Boggled-like swiss army knife deck makes it want to sing! I think I found my new standard and Pioneer deck I desperately needed in paper.

[@RedPandaStan]

azo soldiers and azo mentor were both archetypes pre and post rotation. i really like playing uw aggro/tempo

[@kithkindeck]

You'd have loved my humans deck back in 2014 standard. Champion of the parish style humans deck splashing blue for the super spicy Wingcrafter\lyev skyknight tech to fly over thragtusks.

[@MTGGoldfish]

Yeah! The deck is super sweet.

[@Waffletown654]

I think Sheltered by Ghosts is going to be the chase uncommon for this set and a staple as long as it's in standard. Seems like it flew under the radar during spoiler season but every time I've seen it in a creator's early access gameplay it's enough to turn a whole game around on the spot.

[@mattm7798]

Yeah, it's basically journey to nowhere that also buff your creature...talk about power creep

[@11macedonian]

I think if it had either ifelink or ward, but not both, it would still be good, but not overpowered

[@ZeroG]

Because white totally needed another overpowered removal spell.

[@RiKSh4w]

I don't mind SBG being good. But I hate that it only goes in 1 deck. This exact deck, in any format. There just isn't any deck that can use it besides UW auras. I know they wanted to make more 'powerful only in it's niche' cards but this just feels like there's a cool new toy but only 1 game you can play with it.

[@djumisaid]

Missed lethal at 18:15. Second ethereal armor pumps the first one so you would've had exactly 17 damage

[@MTGGoldfish]

Ugh, oops. Good call.

[@LoonerFlight]

That Eerie visual effect is so cool! It totally works as "creepy constellation"!

[@firedestroyer53]

Actually played a similar deck at the prerelease, was a lot of fun

[@Atmapalazzo]

31:12 I felt that one. The number of times I've held my one drop in gruul prowess for the exact same reason only to get hit with a bat turn 2. Honestly I think you made the right call there, since the removal spell is far more likely than the bat.

[@joshwagner9519]

Reminds me of uw Heroic back in theros standard

[@rocknrollnerd3]

Was going to say the same. One of my favorites of all time. But I really fear how this deck is going to do against a deck with Temporary Lockdown in it.

[@SuenteusPi]

Entity Tracker isn't a color pie break, for the same reason Vedalken Archmage and Roil Cartographer aren't: Drawing cards is a blue payoff, and the trigger for doing it is something any color in this set can care about (since it's an enchantment set). Other colors also being able to draw cards from enchantments entering doesn't mean it's out of pie for blue; it's just not something blue generally does, because blue doesn't usually care about enchantments when you're not in an enchantment set.

[@ther3aper561]

Would love to see this in regular standard

[@Tstyles8]

I kinda wish he waited after the set went live to play a budget deck to see if it survives in the meta. During the early access, I feel a lot his opponents are just trying new stuff and showcasing new cards.

[@as95ms98]

Do you think Valgavoth's Lair would be a good upgrade for the deck? A free Eerie trigger plus another free enchantment for Ethereal Armour seems really strong. Although the tap land may too big of a drawback for an aggro deck.

[@MTGGoldfish]

I might play a copy or two, but I think it might be a bit slow because it comes into play tapped.

[@davidwipperfurth8465]

This standard now has a bunch of aggro, go-wide, and boggles in it. It also has good 3, 4, and 5 mana sweepers. I would guess all decks will want to run a healthy sweeper package to keep up their win percentage against the aforementioned. With sweepers being so available, I would then guess the meta is going to shift towards mid-range or control. Whether it lands on mid-range or control probably depends on how good the control pieces are. I don't think bloomburrow had strong enough control cards to pull the meta up, so I guess we'll see how powerful duskmourn control cards are; there are certainly plenty of them to choose from. Duskmourn has a ton of enchantment support, and there might not be enough good enchantment responses to hold them back. That lack of threat to enchantments might result in even "pretty good" enchantments becoming all-stars. Perhaps the format will come down to enchantment response quality.

[@manascrew]

honestly I feel like it's going to become mid-range and then change to control in the upcoming sets

[@shaneh1542]

I love this deck. Will definitely play it. I'm wondering how great it'd be in other formats with better cards

[@Admiral_Golbez]

This deck looked pretty crazy, really fun!

[@pug987]

I believe Leyline of Resonance is a trap card for red aggro decks. In order to win with such a deck you need a good mix of creatures, buff spells and a few lands. If you are missing one of the three things become difficult. It's not like these decks have that much card draw. Let's take the best case when the layline is in your opening hand. Even then you start with 6 instead of 7 cards and that can make a difference. Plus there is much more pressure to have 2 or more creatures, otherwise the leyline doesn't do anything. These decks can win with just one creature on the field by pumping, attacking and then hurling it to the face. If you mulligan things become much harder, the same if your starting hand has two leylines. If you draw the layline it's a dead card. You need the game to reach turn 5 to be able to play it and get any value and that is if you hit your land drops. I think the leyline can be much better in a mid range red deck that plays all the cool cards that are too slow for an aggro deck and has enough removal to survive the early game.

[@toolittletoolate]

But that two starting leylines turned your one pump spell into three pump spells which made your one creature into Lethal on turn two? The one example we see here is someone getting mana screwed and we don't know how their deck is built at all because we don't get to see it played. They had a one land greedy keep because they had leyline and got punished. That can happen to literally any and every deck, being greedy and getting punished for not muliganing when you should have. Or just not getting lucky and drawing the lands you needed. They didn't get lucky.

[@La_Lente_Oscura]

It absolutely is, it's a winmore card. Rx aggro already has essentially auto win draws on the play.

[@pug987]

@@toolittletoolate I misunderstood the card thinking you cannot target the same creature twice. Still, I think it's good on your opening hand, otherwise it's 4 dead cards in a deck where you can't really afford it.

[@MetalHev]

@@pug987 "its good on your opening hand" You're winning on turn 2, all you're gonna need is your opening hand.

[@30LayersOfKevlar]

Where's my Gladecover Scout though...

[@SeanteBrown]

Seth…waiting on you to build a 🥷🏾 deck with the new Kaito, Bane of Nightmares. CGB made a cool one with the new blue Leyline. Whatchu got? 🤔🧐

[@OftenAlwaysFresh]

Greedy keeping the 1 drop vs Kaito deck was a facepalm

[@mattm7798]

I think to make this deck competitive, there needs to be wrath protection. I know there are at least 1 or 2 things IIRC you can flash in to blink your team and return them at the end of the turn. But yeah, temporary lockdown crushes this deck otherwise.

[@ottolaing4039]

I'm thinking the same, probably just negate or one of the quench variants is fine. Spell pierce would be the best but sadly that rotated out with kamigawa

[@justwantawholename]

Have you considered Grand Entryway? It is stronger than it appears since its 1 card that triggers eerie 3 times

[@leonardopna]

In the match that ended at 39:24 shouldn't we have save the protection for a removal instead of protectig against Kaido's stun ?

On Sunday at my LGS's 2HG event my teammate and I opened 14 total W and U rooms, including 2 of the stairs. Called it MTG Cribs. Think you can try and make it or against the odds?

[@ToadboyMTG]

5:17 why not cast it on the creature? It's still gonna buff it enough to make it worth it?

Ig the cards better as removal...such a weird card!

Entity Tracker is a Break? Drawing cards because you cast a spell is a Break in blue? Let's hope that Seth doesn't find out about blue Vigilance.....

[@trashman6829]

drawing cards off of permanents entering is a break in blue, specifically for enchantress too. thats been the domain of gw for the longest time
