      Hm. I feel like since control isn't really a viable option for a positive winrate after rotation, with all the critters running about b/w or mono black might turn out to be tier 1 in bo1 for once. (From the viewpoint of a diamond pleb)

      @@Dunsie I've been testing an izzet control list in paper brewing. it does a lot better against both aggro decks (cheap red wipes) and other control decks (2 of melek). The biggest weakness is when creatures get more than 5 toughness, bc then even ill timed explosion doesn't get them. sometimes you can hit it with fires of victory if you've been playing laidback but yeah. I'm not super sure jeskai is viable in standard rn, land base kinda sucks, but if we get a way to make jeskai manabase work and get ill timed, sunfall, get lost, no more lies, brotherhoods end in the same shell I fully believe in jeskai control.

    That last mono white deck is the epitome of a deck that makes a person feels smarter than they really are. It's just a bunch of actions that add up to nothing except drawing out a game. I know that's a win con all on its own but those people usually act like they are better than mono aggro decks because of the amount of things they are doing when really it's the same exact bs just the opposite direction.
    So long as you realize that, there's nothing bad in playing a deck like that but so many people think it makes them more clever than they are instead.

    That Red Black deck game two was probably hoping to draw the fling creature to flip the bone guy and do like 16 damage to face, old deck pre rotation with less toys now
    Also the fabled passage stuff about deck thinning really only works in theory if you're only running basic lands, see only 3 or whatever when you fetch makes you think the odds are stacked against drawing another but it doesnt show you the 12 non basic lands you still have in your deck.

      it doesn't matter what kind of lands you're running, you're still searching for a single land out of your 22-23 leftover lands in the deck, so you "thin" the deck but it's a very small persentage.

    The second opponent was waiting for a fling effect to hit you with the bonebrute, then throw it at your face and leverage the death trigger. But they either never drew the fling, or got annoyed at your stream of lifelinking blockers... I went against the deck a couple of times right before rotation and found it disgusting, like all "only for Bo1" combos that would never work if the opponent is actually paying attention to the game!

    In bo1 I would seriously consider running disfigure instead of cut down right now. I know your immediate reaction is probably to gag at the idea but trust me disfigure plays way better into the bo1 environment right now than cut down does for numerous reasons. It's especially much better against the red aggro decks and it also lets you eat preacher of the schism in combat as well as all sorts of other stuff.

      @joshhudson9839 Місяць тому +1

      ​​@@lukesmith1500 Deadweight is way, way worse. The small benefit of getting back with zora is vastly outweighed by disfigure being instant speed. Especially against the red aggro decks on ladder disfiguring at instant speed is so much more useful than only being able to do it on your turn when they're not casting pump spells or using burn together or anything like that. You also can't use deadweight to win combat against larger creatures cause they already know about the deadweight.

    to be honest the meta is stale almost all top decks are playing black because of the insanely cheap removal. Magic has sped up to the point if you are on the draw it’s hopeless no matter what deck you play. magic is turning into yu-gi-oh, fast play has its place in timeless and historic, standard should be a slower format. and win or loose shouldn’t just depend on how much 1 mana removal you have on your curve. also black is wayyyy to strong and has been that way for the last year. i seriously hope the meta shakes up because it’s seriously trash right now.
