Something along I'm currently inclined to cut Tamiyo from the main for another Vraska and probably another land as you don't have the explore package anymore that helps hitting land drops. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcutsCookies help us deliver our Services. Baby, I don't want to hurt nobody. I will update this main post in the next few days going into more detail on available splashes & other options/perspectives other people may have pointed out.To summarise though I feel the main things to establish as we move into the new format is where on the aggro control-big mana spectrum the deck should be sitting, what splash options we should be entertaining & how hard to go in on OUAT. Do you need Assassin's Trophy to deal with various non PW / non creature threats? Giant Killer might be another creature to fit that mold? Jund Beatdown would probably be better off just cutting black for more consistency. Also if you are running goose then you should consider that when deciding how many 4s to run.As discussed splashing is likely correct due to the mana being better than initially anticipated & giving you a richer pool of creatures to choose from. Building the deck creature heavy is obviously the way to go. Lets start with OUAT. :)That's the very important question here. Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? If you continue to use this site it is assumed that you are happy with it. The options are definitely there to have a decent 60 in the 75 for people going bigger than you, but for the most part its metagame dependant & Im not sure how good the big mana decks will be when everyones playing red and flash.Im currently tinkering with Jund mainly at the min so you can be fast enough & function as essentially GR with rider when required & being big but efficient enough to beat red, flash and teferi.How many games have you played with a proxied up deck? 2 is likely the sweet spot as you wont wan't more than one in any given game, but I could see going up to three.Main thing I want to hammer home in this section though is that the mana is good enough to run either Jund, Abzan or Sultai. Nice write up.I'm now more excited for rotation than before. In most of the builds you will want to incorporate a some number of castles. Baby, I don't want to hurt nobody. You can probably get a lot more greedy cutting some temples & passage, potentially more utility lands, for that I'll probably wait until Karsten releases an article on it since there's a few oddball factors & concentrate the bulk of my thinking on the rest of the deck & overall format.To maximise the power level of OUAT you need to have a strong index of versatile creatures at your disposal so that you can increase your creature count as much as possible.
Posted by 4 months ago [Standard] Standard ELD GBx Midrange - There ain't nothing wrong, with a little bump & grind! Between this, OUAT & vivien thats a lot of incentive for playing a creature matters deck).-Trostani Discordant (Good with mana dorks, but competing with Oketra and all the other 5 drops for space)-Charming Prince (If I can flicker a knight to kill a second calamity just once I can die happy).-Tolsimir, Friend of Wolves (Nice curve into Garruk)...Yeah, that was longer & ramblier than I thought it was going to be lol.
I’m not too sure how big it should be looking & whether it should be looking to include krasis/nissa/reef. I either like Sultai and go full food (Vraska is also great for this), or go for a more aggressive stompyesque Jund variant. Will get into it in more detail later on in this post but for reference, here is what I feel six main front-runners are that have the potential of solidifying themselves as pillars of the format:-Midrange lists incorporating one (or both) of Oko/Murderous Rider.Before I get ahead of myself though, here is what I feel a rough idea of what the core may end up looking like & is a sensible starting point when discussing the overarching contexts:The reason to go straight G/B would be that the mana is really smooth. As this helps makes best use out of one of the main reasons to go red (Giant).I do feel abzan might have legs as it does have a lot going for it. But there is something that I must confess to you. And specifically why we should be running this over Teferi.Deck.I think Sultai with Oko will be hard to beat.
September 18, 2017 There Ain’t Nothing Wrong With A Little Bump ‘N’ Grind In R Kelly’s words “There ain’t nothing wrong with a little bump and grind”… only R Kelly was wrong because as it turns out bumping or grinding for that matter come at a cost especially when it comes to cars! The above list may look greedy on the surface but the combination of OUAT & dorks make it very smooth. But there is somethin' that I must confess to you (I don't see nothin' wrong) Ohh (With a little bump & grind) With a little bump & grind (I don't see nothin' wrong) Hey, baby, hey I (I don't see nothin' wrong) I don't see nothin' wrong (With a little bump & grind) With a little bump & grind (I don't see nothin' wrong) Hey, ohh. How much Bonecrusher giant is being played will likely one of the more notable metagame factors. [Chorus 2x:] I don't see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind. Hi r/Spikes! Something like this:Also there is the possibility to go for a build with Rottimg Regisaur and The Great Henge which could be fun!I do love the synergy between Oko and Invasion, but I'm worried that's actually too slow.looks like a refined version of Magic Aids deck.
