      @FranciscoFerreira-gc6xu you're getting ahead on board though, so it's more like a 2 for 2. I've seen so many games where an evasive 4 power creature on the play effectively kills the opponent a few turns later because you stripped their answers from their hand before they had a chance to do anything.

    if the guide was down since turn1, the plays kept unfolding. t2 ajani, make a cat, 3 energy pump guide attack
    next turn legend rule ajani, make 2 energy, flip ajani, make another cat for 3 energy, attack pump the token that came into play t2

    It might just be worse than the boros build from last week's veedeo, but i made a naya version of the phlage core that basically just runs a lot of ways to get fable or phlage on turn 2 (gilded goose, halfling, ragavan) with obosh as a companion. I'm not sure how good it actually is, though

    I’ve seen guide of souls do well in other decks but like mengu says guide has no place in this particular deck. if we cut guide and replace with ragavan do we have enough white cards for solitude?

    • @agility8
      @agility8 9 днів тому

      I like Guide in a more aggressive deck and focused in energy like Boros. That deck produces so much energy and you can use de pump ability each turn most times. Here in mardu maybe you can add the extra copies of Fable, Ajani and Solitude, and the 22 land (the dual side land which a disenchant effect or)

  • @MineRoyale.
    @MineRoyale. 12 днів тому +1

    I think a big issue for Nadu decks is that right now many of them aren't really capable of winning fair games easily--- you can actually lose to terrible sideboard options like harsh mentor and rakdos charm. But, to make themselves more fair and capable of winning games without the combo also makes the deck slower and probably much worse than other combo options.

    I think guide of souls is a good card in conjunction with the red energy cards, because in those decks it acts as both an enabler and a payoff. looked lackluster this league though.

    • @BigPogger
      @BigPogger 12 днів тому +1

      I think this card doesn't work as a midrange draw engine, modern magic is too efficient - for necrodominance to be good you need to draw like 8 cards in a single turn, otherwise it's a bad phyrexian arena
