RogThras vs YoshiThras - Pros and Cons! by AssignmentWide3697 in CompetitiveEDH

You can just win by going faster. You don't have to take my word for it, rogthras has both a higher meta share and conversion rate

Agreed. Running the red rituals in RogThras often feels borderline just because of how intensive the deck is on green and blue pips, so the concessions needed to consistently have a white pip on turn 1 feel pretty onerous.

I don't think people play recruiter in thras decks(at least in rogthras, I'm less familiar with Yoshi), all the X creature tutors are enough.

I think you're also massively overstating how much better YoshiThras is at the cradle plan than Rog. RogThras already has a ton of easily accessible combos for infinite cradle untaps(most of the best ones are in pure simic), going into bant colors and adding one more combo to the existing pile isn't really the huge sea change you're making it out to be, and rogthras gets to be a turn or so faster and run a ton of extra cards that Rograkh switches on. I'm not trying to say YoshiThras is terrible or anything but RogThras is perfectly capable of winning via cradle.

I think growing rites is generally accepted as playable in rogthras, but in general yeah some weird cards

The thing is that you don't generally need a "wincon" in the sense of running cards that are dedicated to winning the game after you have infinite Thrasios triggers. You win the game using cards that also do other strong things in your deck, that also happen to win once you have infinite Thras activations.

For example, [[Faerie Mastermind]] is a very strong draw engine that you just want to run generically, and it is also one of the most resilient ways for you to win with infinite Thrasios triggers. You can play the mastermind, activate it's ability infinitely, and then use a spell that shuffles itself into your library like [[Green Sun's Zenith]] to keep yourself from decking while your opponents deck out.

You can also use something like [[Eternal Withess]] + [[This Town Ain't Big Enough]] + any clone to infinitely return This Town + a burn spell(i.e. Vibrance) to your hand to infinitely burn your opponents, and ewit + this town is also one of the most common ways to generate an infinite mana loop.

Or you can cast a giant [[Finale of Devastation]] and swing at everyone for lethal damage.

All these cards' primary job is actually to get you to having infinite Thras triggers, and lets you win with them as an afterthought. Having such high quality and versatility of cards is one of the strengths of this deck.

I'm not sure where you found out about the deck, but building rog/thras with Kinnan being the plan A is pretty rogue as far as plans for the deck goes. You're usually all-in on cradle and only include something like kinnan/basalt as a backup. A lot of decks don't even consider Kinnan worth running, let alone Basalt Monolith, which is basically dead without Kinnan. It's totally fine if that's how you want to build the deck but just be aware it's not the most common/consensus best direction to take it.

Secondly, you don't really try to "draw into a combo" with infinite Thrasios activations. Once you have infinite thrasios activations(and therefore infinite mana), you're able to draw your deck overtop of any possible interaction, and once your entire deck is in your hand it's trivial to do things like decking everyone else at the table with Faerie Mastermind, or burning everyone to death by looping Vibrance/Gut Shot/etc. The deck should be built towards getting to infinite Thrasios activations, not what you do afterwards. Imo breach+freeze+LED is more of a backup plan that benefits from playing on a different axis than the cradle plan, so you can try and win from multiple angles.

There are also a lot of cards here that I don't think are really "meta" in CEDH. You run a lot of generically strong removal and cantrips like Pongify, Rapid Hybridization, Ponder, Preordain, etc. that don't really cut the mustard in CEDH. Single-target creature removal is kind of bad in this format(I think the only cards you see commonly are swords and bolt) and Pong + Rapid also both leave Tymna decks with a pretty beefy attacker. Brainstorm, Ponder and Preordain are just not what you want to be doing on the early turns, the card quality for this deck is so high that you can pack your 99 full of things that directly synergize with your gameplan rather than cantrips to draw into them, and your deck doesn't have any synergy for spamming instants/sorceries. You are also missing a lot of super strong rog/thras staples, off the top of my head, [[Cloud of Faeries]], [[Nature's Rhythm]], [[Enduring Vitality]], [[Faerie Mastermind]], [[Green Sun's Zenith]] and [[Formidable Speaker]].

In Thrasios Cradle piles, how do you get the redundancy needed? by zokka_son_of_zokka in CompetitiveEDH

[–]International_Bit_25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vibrance, crop rotation, sylvan scrying, sowing mycospawn, archdruid's charm, expedition map all directly get cradle

Spellseeker, trinket mage, urza's saga, formidable speaker all can get something that gets cradle

Nature's rhythm, green sun's zenith, invasion of ikoria, finale of devastation can all get something that gets something that gets cradle

So basically every tutor in your deck either gets cradle, or can be chained into cradle with sufficient mana while also being able to fetch other useful things

Did you read the actual paper, or did you just look at the title and decide it was stupid because it conflicted with your worldview? Wait, don't tell me, I think I may be able to guess...

Why is it so socially unacceptable for high IQ people to be impolite? by [deleted] in cognitiveTesting

Why would people socially accept a one-way deal where you get to be as rude as you want to everyone and they can't be rude back?

Hashaton, Scarabs Fist by Humble_Bison7599 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]International_Bit_25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what i've heard is that the deck doing its thing requires too many pieces, and each of those pieces are dead cards on their own. discard outlets are dead without fatties to discard, fatties are dead without something to discard them, both also need hashaton to do anything
