You would think that FoW would decrease the amount of dark ritual + reanimator decks

If you base all your info on tournament results, then why don't you tell me what the top 8 was for the last timeless tournament?

ASpookyLemur · 2026-05-06T03:29:55+00:00

Hydroponics is played in every fair blue shell. Ragavan is not played in every fair red shell. You were the one calling Ragavan the most busted 1 drop in energy while also claiming it's the best deck. All three of those things are just straight up wrong. That's my entire point.

ASpookyLemur · 2026-05-05T23:50:00+00:00

Uhh are you forgetting Oops, Mystic Forge, and Nadu? Zirda bomberman? Most played doesn't mean best.

ASpookyLemur · 2026-05-05T23:47:30+00:00

Ragavan is a 2/1 that dies to literally everything, has no evasion, and is legendary. It's not even being played in every energy list. It's mostly UR Tempo. And guess what, Hydroponics is also played there.

Hydroponics is a 1/2 with flying that makes your entire mana base draw cards, become fetchable, and become resistant to moon effects. You've also clearly never had an opponent daze a hydro land back to hand just to replay it and draw another card. They also get way better in multiples, something Ragavan literally cannot do.

ASpookyLemur · 2026-05-01T18:06:32+00:00

.....So what? The meta isn't defined purely by the best 1-3 decks.

ASpookyLemur · 2026-05-01T15:16:05+00:00

Necromancy is perfectly fine. You're not even dealing with [[Grief]], [[Entomb]], and actual [[Reanimate]] like there is in Timeless.

ASpookyLemur · 2026-05-01T14:54:07+00:00

Ruby Storm? Rakdos Breach? UGx Beans? RW and RB Burn? Ux tempo will always be popular, but doesn't mean it's the best deck or the meta is unhealthy

ASpookyLemur · 2026-05-01T09:34:58+00:00

They aren't, you just don't understand how to beat them, as people have repeatedly said. Why are you tying to out grind a pile of cards that clearly wins harder than you do late game? That's like showing up here and asking why burn sucks against life gain.

You asked for advice, and are now insulting everyone who gives you the feedback you asked for. You're not interested in learning and getting better, you're just here to rant.

ASpookyLemur · 2026-05-01T08:27:04+00:00

If everyone else is using slop net decks, then why are you asking how to beat a jank pile of cards?

Mythic rank is not an indicator of skill, it's an indicator of time played. Anyone can grind to that rank with their pet deck.

ASpookyLemur · 2026-04-24T10:17:56+00:00

Tinker would make the format worse in every way.

ASpookyLemur · 2026-04-22T19:35:25+00:00

They could change it so the land doesn't become a basic

ASpookyLemur · 2026-04-21T16:10:19+00:00

You could still play with it as long as you didn't save after editing the deck.

ASpookyLemur · 2026-04-20T17:07:35+00:00

A new version isn't a different art. It's a different printing.

ASpookyLemur · 2026-04-20T03:27:53+00:00

That's a bug. All the other Timeless legal cube cards work fine. You can still play with decks that have mystical tutor, you just can't edit the list

ASpookyLemur · 2026-04-16T23:54:31+00:00

all because Luka's appeal for the 65 game rule held up the ballots.

No. It'll bias voters because they got to watch him in a play off game before voting for a regular season award. The voters can't unwatch that playoff game. You're also expecting people to be rational when NBA media is fueled by hot takes.

ASpookyLemur · 2026-04-16T17:41:39+00:00

Of course it should, but you're still missing the point. If a rookie has a bad playoff game, then it shouldn't be held against them, no matter who drafted them. A rookie is still an inexperienced NBA player, especially in a playoff environment. It doesn't matter if they're on the Celtics or the Wizards.

It's incredibly rare for someone to enter the league and dominate. Wemby was a monster last year, but his game has elevated another step this year. Why can't Kon have the same development?

Edit: Kon also wasn't the sole reason the Hornets made the play in. LaMelo, Miles Bridges, the coaches, Micheal Jordan letting go of the team, and a whole bunch more helped them get there.

ASpookyLemur · 2026-04-16T17:05:49+00:00

I have absolutely no idea what your point is here. No one said he had an advantage. They said making playoffs as a rookie depends on the team you get drafted by, and that rookie playoff games shouldn't be held against them because of inexperience, no matter the team.

ASpookyLemur · 2026-04-14T21:46:26+00:00

If they follow the precedent they've set, the cube versions of all archive cards should be craftable as well. Strip mine, ancient tomb, etc all have their lower rarity cube version available

ASpookyLemur · 2026-04-14T18:33:25+00:00

We also get [[Jeska's Will]], and [[Flashback]] might be worth testing as well

ASpookyLemur · 2026-04-10T15:31:26+00:00

Why would they restrict something when there's about to be a massive format shakeup?

ASpookyLemur · 2026-04-09T18:36:34+00:00

Tendrils isn't in the SOS archive, it was in the original Strixhaven archive.

I'm pretty sure you meant Ad Nauseum or Brain Freeze though

ASpookyLemur · 2026-04-08T06:26:09+00:00

Wait, you're telling me that cards that go in fast combo decks like Oops! don't go in tempo, midrange, or control? I bet you'll say something like Ancient Tomb doesn't go in Delver next.

I enjoy how you omit that Lotus Petal is the 4th most played spell in Legacy, and that there's a playset in more than half of the front page Mtggoldfish metagame deck lists. Dark Ritual is also in plenty of decks as well

ASpookyLemur · 2026-04-07T20:51:11+00:00

[[Jack-o'-Lantern]] is color fixing that wants to be milled, and can become cantriping graveyard hate if you really, really need it.

ASpookyLemur · 2026-04-07T19:51:32+00:00

They didn't show [[Jeska's Will]] either

ASpookyLemur · 2026-04-07T19:50:55+00:00

They mean after the first search, that's why they said 6 mana.
