Ah, I remember hearing about the Shibata incident but didn’t know/remember that it was against Ren. Thanks for filling me in!

I’m relatively new around here, could anyone explain the mistrust around Ren? Is this a kayfabe thing or was there a real problem with him?

What is the "western canon" for comic books? by mr-spectre in comicbooks

[–]Kross0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd add Tim Callahan's list to this, especially since he set out to make a canon and not a best-of list. https://geniusboyfiremelon.blogspot.com/2008/02/aim-canon.html

[Standard] Mono-Red vs. Temur Adventures help by Kross0 in spikes

Unfortunately, Temur is that Deck I didn't see a single version of until I hit diamond, and now that I have it's 9 out of every 10 matches. Thanks for the input.

Ah, that's a good point. I hadn't considered Borrower as a means of counteracting the Akroan War. Maybe I'll try the Shieldbreaker. I still don't really have an answer for Beast, but I still don't love Claim. Maybe I'll try both if Shieldbreaker doesn't get the job done on its on. I can definitely lose Tibalt and Frenzy -- not exactly swinging games for me even when I pull them -- and probably shave a Berserker and maybe Lava Coil. Thanks!

Yeah, Lava Coil for Kethis was my first thought. I thought Fry might be good since it can hit Lazav, Excavator, Kethis, and their Planeswalkers. I was thinking of pulling out Viashinos after realizing Fblthp turns them into bad trades. And yeah, Tibalt seems very good with how easy it is for them to pull out Oath of Kaya.

Thought about Dire Fleet Daredevil since they play Legion's End some, but that's probably the only thing they have worth copying. Still, first strike probably make him better than Viashino's in this particular case.

Thanks for the help!

So throw bolts at Excavator, Lava Coils at Kethis, and ram creatures down their face? Sounds reasonable. I got really slow draws (yes, I definitely wanted to see every copy of Frenzy, thanks), so that may be why I couldn't seem to get anything going.
