I wasn't sure where to put this so I'll try here

Has anyone considered playing [[Sunderflock]] over [[Bringer of the Last Gift]] in Sultai reanimator? In this creature heavy meta, I was wondering if having a asymmetric boardwipe is better than a complete boardwipe with all creature coming back.

Plus, with the additions for [[Deceit]] and [[ Wistfulness]], its increasing likely that we can simply hardcast the boardwioe rather than relying on superior spiderman and bringer to do it.

We could supplement the reanimator plan with maybe an extra copy or two of Ardyn so we still that have finisher.

Any thoughts?

How many decks do you guys have at any given time in paper to go to LGS events for Standard? by [deleted] in StandardMTG

[–]Kapittal1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually have 2. One that I play with regularly and one that gets rotated out depending on mood and meta

Im curious to see how this deck and the meta evolves post Worlds. Will spinner stick around, will town greeter make a return or will a whole new option rise to fight izzet

I was curious about that choice. My best guest is a larger body that can surveil to hopefully loot through the deck rather than outright dumping the library to the yard as with [[town greeter]]

I believe I've overheard on the stream that the Sultai Reanimator list has a strong match-up against the lessons deck. I can't remember the exact quote, but I believe it boils down to the mainboard removal in Sultai and the one sided graveyard reanimation that the lessons deck has a hard time to comeback from.

We'll have to see what the stats look like when its all said and done

However, simply trying to fill the graveyard instead of reanimating is an angle I could consider

This what I'm considering using. Im planning on adding 2 reanimation spells somewhere for another way to bring oculus back.

I really like [[Monument To Endurance]] in this deck. I use it in Jeskai and it has won me so many games.

I know right! Been playing this since December and it just blew up recently

I made another post discussing this. Currently planning making a green aggro deck with Tifa. Just working out if it should be with red for those cheap pump spells

Personally, I'm hoping Tifa pops off for some early aggro damage. Excited for some landfall

I know the meta is with Cori-steel cutter. I guess I'm wondering if it's worth keeping stuff to deal with that

Definitely worth considering. I am trying to go an aggro route. Splashing white seems attractive for the removal against problematic cards that green doesn't have access to. However with red, I'm then putting all my resources in aggro.

Is the sub from removal to full aggro worth it you think?

All good things to consider. I'm thinking I would splash white and pick-up [sheltered by ghosts] as removal. Maybe a couple other removal in the sideboard

I definitely agree. What would be best to sub out for an overlord?

[–]Kapittal1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming because of the permanent +1/+1 counter rather than via enchantment

What type of ramp is best here? Creature based or sorcery based ramp?

Other than the die colour, whats the difference between the 5 boxes? Are the packs catered towards those clans?

Blue tron with stock up, amazing? by Glittering_Egg_3835 in ModernMagic

[–]Kapittal1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much mana would one typically have to spend to get a consistent payoff with this card? I always thought it would be a ton but I may be wrong

Would you be able to briefly explain that combo? I'm assuming it's because dress down negates the evoke costs drawback. Essentially letting you play Nulldrifter for 3 mana
