I’m guessing the game 1 opponent expected to find a land off Devourer of Destiny, and maybe they intended to cast OUAT, but had a brainfart and forgot to do it before casting Lotus Petal? With 9 looks at a second and third land, that keep doesn’t seem that sketchy at all.

If ensnaring bridge is prevalent enough to sideboard for, would one or two copies of Witch Enchanter be worth it in the main board over plains? With flagstones it might be worth running a surveil land to fetch as well.

I played a similar deck in modern when TOR was legal that leverage TOR + Essence Reliquary to gain "perma" protection. Wondering if some of those mox diamonds should be Witch Enchanters. Otherwise sick deck! Would love to see more mono whizzy prizzy in the new year.

Witch Enchanter's a 4 drop opposed to Loran being a 3 drop. That extra mana could mean a big difference in when he'd need to cast them to disenchant something.

This deck was sweet!! Would love to see you run it back with the one ring. Also, quick question. Why does no one play the initiative anymore? Was it bc of psychic frog? You held the monarch for a long time in most of your games. With frog gone maybe an initiative/one ring deck is viable again?
@andrewwang76997 күн бұрын
iirc initiative was not great because getting your initiative creatures reanimated is a disaster, and because frog beats all of them in combat

Compared to that, court of grace isn't even a creature, and jailor isn't a threat on an empty board in the same way. It's still card advantage, but it's a 10 turn clock instead of a 3 turn one.

You probably need to stop running a glut of lands in these mono W decks. Razorgrass Ambush and Witch Enchanter's flexibility would compensate heavily for all these dead draw floods I see you going through league after league. Just drop the Mox Diamonds for purely Chrome Moxen.

I'm sure playing 8 lands that deal three damage to you and are Wasteland-able in your Ancient Tomb deck has no downside whatsoever... I've been advising against this exact thing for like a year in Moon Stompy shells with my coaching clients.
@ADNudes17 сағат бұрын
@@ThrabenUniversity Haven't seen any of your coaching content, and I'm not saying a 4-4 split is correct, but surely some amount of them is better than all basics for the modularity they provide in both top deck wars and as good Chrome Mox pitch targets in the opener. I can understand the Wasteland fear in general for stompy shells, but in this deck with 4 mainboard Suppression Field?
@derekcline95016 сағат бұрын
@ADNudes 3 life or tapped lands that are mediocre spells late game are amazing against control shells. And awful against tempo/combo. But the meta has zero control decks. Frog tempo and Eldrazi pushed them out, opening the door for combo. Boshnroll was running friggin Stiflenaught, a tempo shell, at Legacy events because it was the closest thing to control that was playable. Bans may change this but I still see a ton of Eldrazi, big mana decks and combo. Tl;dr you'd have a point in an utterly opposite meta
