Mardu is much better against storm, combo, reanimator and brews in general because of thoughtseize, cutting that is nuts. The One Ring is not a maindeck card, it will so often be a 4 mana do nothing. No sweepers, and you are often gated on mana instead of cards, not to mention 22 lands, which is bonkers. There are very few ways to recover once you fall behind on board, ring is really bad md in this deck. It's easy to remember all the times you draw ring with 4 lands in play and a clear board and forget all the times you mulliganed or straight up lost because you have a dead 4 mana card against 3+ attackers on the other side.
I can get behind this logic. I think this specific version (Boros Black, rather than true Mardu) tries to remedy beating the unfair decks with heavy sideboarding. Bringing in all 14 cards against Storm was hilarious. I could see going down to 2 Rings like versions of Boros does as well even though Ring is indeed busted. I like some amount because hitting lands didn't feel too bad and we have enough cheap things to stall in the meantime if we have a Ring stuck in hand. That and it helps rebuild since everyone is running cheap boardwipes. (this all coming from one league and 0 experience haha) 😅
Yeah I can get behind this. This version is like "Boros Black" rather than straight Mardu with Thoughtseize and stuff so maybe this is a better all around option? You can run it at the next FNM!
Do you guys think Mardu is the strongest Energy deck?
Ayyy glad to hear you're on the daybreak program. Congrats!
Aye thanks! Excited to participate in the Creator perks with play points and tournaments 😁
39:19 doodoo hehe
Maybe Boros is the way with easier mana etc etc.

Mardu is better in the mirror against straight Boros. Against the field I feel Boros is better.
