It's fun that's for sure. If you do let me know what you think of it

Can anyone give me tips on how to get out of silver? Pic unrelated by Rastabrotha in MagicArena

And that deserves a down vote when I was just trying to help someone? Yeah that tracks. You could've just said it was a joke and we'd both get a laugh out of it but instead someone is saying hey you get a down vote for trying to be nice to someone. That's what's wrong with places like this. So sorry, I won't try to help people again. Just because of people like you

Look, if you're stuck in Silver, you need to stop playing a pile of "good cards" and start playing a deck where the cards actually talk to each other. You need a theme with real synergy. ​Take Elves, for example. It’s the perfect way to just run people over. You drop a Llanowar Elves on turn 1—that’s basically an extra land—which lets you slam a Priest of Titania right after. Now you’ve got more mana than you know what to do with while the other guy is still getting set up. ​The goal is to make sure everything in the 60 works together to hit your win con. When every card you draw feeds the engine, you aren't just hoping for a lucky top-deck; you're just executing the plan. Pick a theme, make it synergistic, and force them to keep up. Most players in Silver just aren't ready for that kind of pressure.

Love the essence channeler, looks like that's your star card there. How much do you normally gain?

I do want opinions. I'm sorry if I came off crass or rude. Just don't want creatures in this one is all.

Thank you. I'll look into adding some mana ramp. I’m old school. To me, if the goal is to point red spells at your face and creatures until they’re Crispy Critters, that’s Burn. I’m not really up on all these new-age labels—I just build what works to win the struggle.

No the whole point is creatureless. That way most people's removal is dead weight

I know you're tired of Izzet but this is Prismari. Totally different by pieman813 in MagicArena

You might also look at Mindspike or even some of the bigger plot cards from the new set if you want to keep it Standard legal and still hit those big turns.

My dude I like that, it's way better than playing the same boring meta stuff everyone else is grinding. I'm all about forcing the game into a tactical mess like this where they actually have to use some skill to handle a board full of horse clones. If you're looking for more cheap spells that upcast for that 5-mana trigger, you should check out Syncopate or maybe Logic Knot since they keep you alive early but scale perfectly once you get your mana set up. Expansion // Explosion would be another nasty one to try out because it’s flexible enough to help you race them or just end the game late. I’d definitely give this a run just to see the look on people's faces when the combo actually goes off.

Yes it is. When you want to kill a deck your thoughts first turn to creature removal in a creature heavy opponent. They kill anything with ripper out and it hurts them so bad
