[Doktor Best]

I just did a premier Strixhaven draft and picked up 12 rares and 2 mythics...



And i mean the deck still isn't shit, quite a decent Boros deck.

Some possible spoilers I found on Reddit "

Official spoiler page for Korean language is listing card names(? I suspect) that haven't been spoiled yet.

I will provide eough translation for those who are interested.

Shocking Grasp(충격적인 움켜쥠)

Sudden Insight(갑작스런 통찰력)

Swiftfooted Rogue(발빠른 도적)

Drider(드라이더)

Manticore(만티코어)

Vampire Scatterer(흡혈귀 산란체) -this is definitely the wrong translation;

Druidic Job(드루이드 직업) -not sure about this either

Plummet(급추락) -this is a reprint

Barrowin of the Undurr(운두르 부족의 바로윈)

Demon-fanged Gnoll, Tarrg Narl(악마의 송곳니를 가진 놀, 타르그 나르) -fairly sure about the demon fanged gnoll. Don't know the exact spelling of the name though.

Path Towards the dungeon(던전 내리막길) -path downward is the exact word? Not sure about this either."

I'm not big on Plummet being in the set, its not D&D flavoured.

[lukaszek]

yeah! I can bring my janky monob lich artifacts back!


in other news i found this horror pyre pile that supposedly made it to mythic. Def not good enough to do so, or as usual people are paired with weaker decks than me.
Still its my kind of jank to have fun with:

Spoiler

Deck
1 Bloodchief's Thirst (ZNR) 94
4 Malakir Rebirth (ZNR) 111
3 Thoughtseize (AKR) 127
2 Eliminate (STA) 30
4 Yarok's Fenlurker (M20) 123
4 Pyre of Heroes (KHM) 241
1 Phyrexian Rager (JMP) 266
3 Woe Strider (THB) 123
2 Phyrexian Arena (8ED) 152
1 Grakmaw, Skyclave Ravager (ZNR) 223
13 Swamp (STX) 371
2 Crippling Fear (KHM) 82
2 Nightmare Shepherd (THB) 108
3 Ravenous Chupacabra (JMP) 269
2 Phyrexian Obliterator (NPH) 68
3 Gray Merchant of Asphodel (THB) 99
1 Yarok, the Desecrated (M20) 220
2 Castle Locthwain (ELD) 241
1 Phyrexian Tower (JMP) 493
1 Overgrown Tomb (GRN) 253
1 Zagoth Triome (IKO) 259
4 Unclaimed Territory (XLN) 258

its nice as horrors usually got strong enter the battlefield trigger and can be safely sacked to find something stronger afterwards. Also if you sack it and pay malakir rebirth price you get that trigger one more time.

Funny timing since new horror was just spoiled

that would definitely make nice 1 of.
In ideal world we would have plenty horrors to have mostly singles and tutor whatever is needed at a time.
Might have finally found my tribal to replace pirates

Not a single one of them has the ability to travel planes. Great job fucking that up WotC!

Can't run on my craptop even though it's a card game. Sad!

glorious return of black mana bodies!

good thing I don't play paper anymore, imagine having to throw fucking dice all the time.

ikr, disgusting

You don't have to run rogues to use it.

New Artifact Land, called treasure vault, taps for colourless mana, but you can sacrifice it later for treasure.

So... like a bad Lotus Petal?

 

[deuxhero]

A type of Enhancement that can upgrade like Figure of Destiny and the like is an OK idea, but so far the execution is really, really bland.

 

[Jason Liang]

I anticipate that Tenser's Transformation will be a spell that fetches these class cards into play.

 

[lukaszek]

is it time to talk about most disgusting card in new set?

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. Wh*te shitting all over black. Gaining 3 life to make a 3/3 flier seems easier to reach than losing 2 life for a 2/2 non-flier, and putting platinum angel text on any angel for 3 mana seems way better than making an 8/8 indestructible token if you have 2 other artifacts in play. Though I missed that it exiles Exalted Deeds too, much like Vecna exiles Vile Darkness. Makes it a little more reasonable.

its even worse. You can put it on that changeling land, once your turn ends close to no deck would be able to kill it(everyone will maindeck 4x land destroying land from now on i guess).

Shit I hadn't even considered that. That IS pretty awful. The only comfort is, I suppose, the time it would take to do. Turn 6 at the earliest I guess? Turn 3 to play the book, then you need 3 white to activate the book. I believe that manland counts as a snow permanent so it could tap to activate itself (Can't attack but the attacking isn't the important part), so 3 snow lands to activate the land and then 3 white to put the counter on it. Could be sped up with ramp too of course. What a pain in the ass, I assume field of ruin is currently in standard though so if people go bonkers with it there's a neutral answer.

i think they keep reprinting it so it never leaves standard?

 

[Scruffy]

let's say, hypothetically, that i want to waste some time and try to climb the ladder past platinum. What are some good and proven anti-yorion-ultimatum techs?

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Probably, though there was a brief window where we didn't have it IIRC. Wanna say it was after FotD rotated but too lazy to check the printings.

If you're playing wh*te there's Drannith Magistrate. Of course he'll still eat the 90 pieces of removal they run, but he shuts down the ultimatum at least. Other than that I don't really know, those decks drive me crazy since they're hard to go under with all their removal and ramp and they're hard to control because they run an infinite number of bombs since even if you counter ultimatums then they'll just hardcast something and clobber you. Usually feels like I win matches against them due to them drawing poorly more than anything else.
