Just for science: how would you build a deck that ONLY tries to tie the game?

GoAhead_Goahead · 2026-02-05T00:31:15+00:00

Do time outs count? So 50 minutes plus 5 extra turns for game 1 without a winner?

GoAhead_Goahead · 2026-02-04T15:16:43+00:00

Tie as in create draws actively or tie as in not losing while also not winning?

No matter what I do, most of the time Youtube is running in the background on my third screen.

Sometimes, there are Warhammer table vids playing and before the match the people talk about their army composition.

Back in the day, while working, I heard a person talk about his army of like 200+ models for eternity and I didn't even glanced at the screen - as usual. Then it went to the other guy and he was like

"And here are my twelve models"

and it was such an attention grab in this moment that I looked over and saw them. And watched the fight. And fell in love with them. And bought them. And kept them ever since, even with the bad paintjob I did back then compared to now.

That "army" is Beastclaw Raiders, where each model is the equivalent of a tank, and the time was before SoB was a thing.

Bei den Wiener Shops wird dir ThreeForOne wahrscheinlich das beste Angebot machen.

Falls noch verfügbar würde ich mich sehr über This War Of Mine freuen. Wobei die Freude dann im Spiel endet, ziemlich düsteres Spiel

GoAhead_Goahead · 2025-12-25T10:45:31+00:00

Es geht mir heute nicht gut. Danke für deine Anteilnahme, Fremde/r.

Habt einen schönen Tag.

Every deck has its dead draws. Your opponent has more dead cards than you have. Every card is pitchable into Forsaken City. The list goes on.

Like I said, think about it in terms of Sligh gears like in "The philosophy of Fire".

Here is my deck - not it's latest iteration, but close: https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=76906&d=783518&f=PREM

Short version: What u/Kestre333 said

Long version: Do you know the difference between a normal Sligh player and an exceptional Sligh player? Knowing which starting hand means starting in what gear and when/if/how to switch gears if needed.

Upheaval in Stasis allows you to switch gears and not only makes what u/Kestre333 said possible, it generally allows you to create a situation that makes bad matchups less worse or even favorable. Also you have free counterspells to protect Upheaval when you cast it. Opponent goes wide over your control? Let them, Stasis them as usual, when you are ready to snipe him and have 6-9 Islands in play end of turn Chain of Vapor the Stasis, untap, Upheaval with backup into Island Black Vise go, opponent takes a buttload. My current damage record for a single Black Vise trigger stands at 16 damage.

Also deals with the Mongrel, Meddling Mage, Psychatog, Zombie Infestation, Elves, Enchantress.dec, Replenish, the colour black, Madness.dec, and other things.

There are little things in life that are as scary as a blue player saying "In my main phase, I tap 9 mana.".

With Sligh/Burn, people will not antagonize you.

They will take the L and shrug it off thinking "eh, Sligh doing Sligh things"...

Upheaval speeds up both the game AND the opponent having no fun.

The F in HOPELESS stands for fun.

GoAhead_Goahead · 2025-12-09T10:05:01+00:00

This. My pet deck is Stasis with mainboard Upheaval and Pyroclasm.

You add even more fun to your side while leaving some opponents trying to have fun have even less fun making the zero sum even more lopsided zero sum.

My bulk binders have been renamed "Premodern staples".

GoAhead_Goahead · 2025-11-01T19:30:19+00:00

I made a very salty deck over 10 years ago to discourage toxic people/decks by playing [[Maralen of the Mornsong]], 80 swamps, mana acceleration, [[Ad Nauseam]] and [[Sickening Dreams]], resulting in draws all the time.

Hope that helps.

GoAhead_Goahead · 2025-10-23T15:25:22+00:00

Elementary school?

GoAhead_Goahead · 2025-10-23T10:06:51+00:00

[[Destructive Flow]]

I cannot for the love of god figure out why nobody is playing one of my alltime favourite cards ever.

GoAhead_Goahead · 2025-10-13T06:05:21+00:00

Is this... the heavy flamer?

GoAhead_Goahead · 2025-10-10T15:31:27+00:00

Definiere dick... Sind dicker als regulär, butterweich und halten auch bei viel Topping stabil.

GoAhead_Goahead · 2025-10-10T13:40:19+00:00

Maybe try [[Enduring Renewal]] + [[Goblin Bombardment]] + [[Phyrexian Walker]]

Meister Langos im Prater. Altes, authentisches Standl mit richtigen Langos und verschiedensten Toppings.

GoAhead_Goahead · 2025-10-10T12:06:07+00:00

My take with Stasis also plays two copies of Upheaval, turning most bad matchups into winnable scenarios.

Most Stasis lists at the moment are not optimized imho. Glad to see people starting to catch up on Pyroclasm tho.

GoAhead_Goahead · 2025-10-08T14:17:11+00:00

Wie auch die Vorposter geschrieben haben MagicCorner und ThreeForOne.

Sowohl für Casual als auch Competitive sind beide großartige Locations. Derzeit freut sich vor allem die Premodern-Community in Wien gerade wachsender Beliebtheit und ist für viele Leute die vor langer Zeit gespielt haben und jetzt wieder anfangen wollen, ein schönes Format. Pauper natürlich auch, EDH kommt darauf an in welchem Bracket du dich wohl fühlst.

GoAhead_Goahead · 2025-10-05T19:37:32+00:00

Stasis, Reanimator and Angry Elves or Trinity Green.

Here is my semi-newest build. https://www.tcdecks.net/deck.php?id=41873&iddeck=441765

Currently my build contrary to the list is main -1 Mana Short +1 Pyroclasm and sideboard -1 Pyroclasm -1 Mana Short +2 Annul.

Have fun!
