Card design from 1993 is like atomic testing before people knew how the hell radiation worked
like yes we know the blast is deadly, and the flash is super bright, but yeah sure go hang out on some lawn chairs a mile away with some special goggles and feel the rush of wind blow past you, why not?
Alright game day approaches and my buddy wants the lowdown on BUDGET DECKS! I want him to play the mono blue or UR robots deck the most. It is the jank that I would most enjoy seeing.
Fucking around in cockatrice, it looks like my rw heroic list does extremely well against several flavors of abzan midrange and hilariously poorly against jeskai whatever

That sounds like the new version of the Generator Servant + Master of Cruelties deck I played against once. It was pretty cool.
Gen servants and Master is so much fun. Especially since game 1 they will always swing at you on turn 2 in some misguided attempt to make you chump with servant.
Mystics, wayfinders, and generator servants for go fast, commune with the gods to find twins and fuel the become immense delve, possibly frenzied goblin and or hammerhand to fuck up blocking

Giving it trample would be nice, but probably not worth the trouble to put Nylea in. Maybe Awaken the Bear? Ranger's Guile to avoid getting blown out by a Downfall/Cut? Nice that all the second-string tricks are a bit more efficient thanks to the prowess.
Titan's Strength does a reasonable Become Immense impression... Barrage of Boulders punches through Caryatids that can't be Hammerhanded, and wipes Rabble tokens.
So I just purchased the Born of the Gods event deck, Underworld Herald. The fact I picked it up for only $15 is pretty sweet, and I like a lot of the cards just by lookin' at them. It is, apparently, one of the best event decks for your dollar out there.
I have a combat question:
I'm playing Jeskai combo, and I'm attacking. My opponent plays an instant, and I swan Song it in response, untapping my guys. If i give one of my attacking guys Retraction Helix to kill the token, does the game still count that guy as attacking?

99% sure on this:
If you tap him to attack and later untap him, he is still a declared attacking (even if you tap him to do something else).

Once a card is declared as attacking only being destroyed or effect that say they remove the target from combat will do so.
Ok. Everythings assembled for my temporarily "Dig-free" Ascendancy Combo. Just need a few more scry lands and I'll be set until I pick up the digs.
I picked up enough cards to play with a few versions, but right now Im working with a mishmash of Face-to-Face games' and Lee Ti Shian's. I;'m gonna be workign with a few variations of the list until I find one I really like.
Its temporary until I have some more funds free up. I'm basically replacing them with Cruise and Cruise with SDivination (or Tormenting Voice) until I have the cash for the Digs.
I'm running a very Temple heavy variant with no fetches (although Im runnign the required Yavimya Coasts/Mana Confluences/Battlefield Forge-Or-Shivan-Reef). Scrylands are A) cheaper and give you card selection with I think might be even more important than speed.
Nah I hear you. I need to get 2 more digs for my brother and I's game day plans. He's playing tempo, I'm playing the Control i brewed that wrecks Tempo.
I am so glad I got digs when they were 2 bucks. my only rare lands are 2 confluences I'm borrowing from a friend, the rest are Khans lands and basics. I still seem to get a dork out on turn 2 consistently though

yeah. you're playing abzan right?
i had 2 spots to fill because i dont think xenagos is super great right now so i ended up going with a md xenagod and bow
i believe in heir of da wildz

Also get my heir promos
Also re: budget decks, you could probably make a workable rdw list subbing rabblemaster for something else?
Mono Black devo's only moneycard is thoughtseize and you can swap that for despise since it's gonna be abzan city everywhere

I mean 8$ downfalls and a handful of dollar or less cards around out the deck, I call that budget
Turn 1 swiftspear + crypt swing for 2 into turn 2 ensoul swing for 7 is pretty unbeatable when you get it.

Wow, really? Neat! I mean it looks pretty good to my newbie eyes. I suppose the fact it can target planeswalkers is pretty darn nice.
On an unrelated note, how many games would you say are needed to playtest a deck properly?
