    Revied the Red/Black sac deck concept to work with Awaken the BLood Avatar

    not perfect but hilarious when you steal their creature and eat ti to make the avatar

    Cats Elves was 1 flawless and 1 easy win. My next pair was reanimated/reanimated. Wasn't really happy with the meme at that point but deck was, strong? 4-0 because black was my dailies.

    There's a new code out.

    GAMEKNIGHTS gives you a WB Angels deck. Luckily, it gives you all the cards you need for it. Unluckily, if you already have the cards, it won't give you extra copies.

    For example, the deck you get has 1 copy of Starnheim Unleashed and 1 copy of Luminarch Aspirant. I already had a copy of Starnheim Unleashed, so I didn't get another one. But I didn't have any copies of Luminarch Aspirant, so now I got one.

    Still early days.
    But just played mill.
    And double humiliated their opening two Into the Stories.
    And then stuck Tergrid with Doom Foretold out.
    And then stole their two Crabs and Tutelage.
    And their two Fabled Passages.
    Cause mill is worth it.

    Yeah, nah.
    It sucks and I'm a sucker.

    Is this casual or something? Because I'm noting a distinct lack of innocent bloods.

    Yeah, I need some Orahs.
    And usually the eggs and such that replace themselves are better than what I'm running with Doom.
    Swapped out clerics for angels, and then went on to vs two shrine decks which completely dodge the angel sacrificing.

    Very unfortunate it doesn't just give you a copy of everything in it regardless, but dang that's got a lot of good stuff in it, particularly for new players that'll get the whole thing

    Clerics will likely be pretty OP post rotation, especially if Forgotten Realms has any good clerics (good odds). Right now they're slower than monored and don't have anything that makes up for not having embercleave. It's a great midrange deck, but midrange really can't hack it in this meta.

    Meanwhile, my Esper Party deck is rotation proof, outside of Overwhelmed Apprentice (great card BTW)... and Lurrus, of course. Shame that Call of the Death Dweller is rotating, really love that card.

    4 Elderfang Disciple (KHM) 93

    1 Temple of Silence (M20) 256
    3 Temple of Silence (M21) 255
    Tergrid is probably the weakest part.
    She's too expensive.
    Could put in Necromentia to get rid of wipes, or like the 1W draw plains saga

    Yeah Tergrid is kind of a trap card


    by that point of that game any deck worth anything will remove her before you get any value

    Tergrid's Lantern is an amazing card and win condition against a lot of decks. It also has the benefit of being a blank 4/5 that eats removal. Trying to make a 'Tergrid deck' is a bit of a trap, though.

    Clearly I just need to swap out two Tergrids for two Yorions so I can have my lantern and my Tergrid too

  • discriderdiscrider Registered User regular
    Yeah Tergrid is kind of a trap card


    by that point of that game any deck worth anything will remove her before you get any value

    Dropping Tergrid onto a Doom Foretold gets one thing usually, unless their draw is instant speed removal.
    Just she fills my hand until I get to 5 mana, and I'd prefer most any other card.

    The lantern is great too, although I dislike playing it for the opportunity cost of not playing Tergrid, which is a mind game thing.
    Really the problem with the lantern in my deck is it's overshadowed by Doom Foretold, as that gets to work on the enemy's board immediately.
    I also keep running into Prisimari's Command.

    i played the all-access historic FNM that's going on right now.

    it's fun, but also tempered steel is just not viable in any way.
    it feels bad that it's not good, but at least i didn't spend wildcards on it. thanks, wizards!

    edit: you know what would make tempered steel viable? frogmite and ethersworn canonist. i want to say more broken cards, but honestly those two would go a long way toward improving all of the really bad matchups (people throwing down a million elves or doing not-interactive combo nonsense.)

    I can only assume when stuff like that happens they had a great but garbage hand because they bricked on their draw to make it great.

    Or they really hate Eyetwitch.

    Almost certainly. But Tasha’s exiles cards instead of putting them in the graveyard, so it won’t work to turn on stuff like Thieves’ Guild Enforcer and Soaring Thought Thief.
