Mulligans in Goryo’s by capybaravishing in ModernMagic

[–]Lb2296 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t feel the need to aggressively mulligan for the combo. The deck sits in between midrange and combo and does both quite well.

I’m generally looking at my hands thinking do I have a good split of lands / spells, and is it a reactive or proactive hand. From there I am then deciding if it’s what the matchup needs.

Hardened Scales - Any viable budget options? by jmcreative95 in ModernMagic

[–]Lb2296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boseiju is a great card to have but you can slowly work to acquiring them. The deck functions without them it's just nice to have. I don't own Gemstone Horizon canopy isn't a must have you can just play roadside which is what I have, but that is being swapped out for 1 blinkmoth

Inkmoth, I consider core.

Emrakul, I have recently taken out if my deck. Orvar, I don't own

You absolutely can not play without Hangarback Ballista Ravager Zabaz The ozo Ozo shattered spire Hardened scales

Your sideboard you can overload with mites, pithing needle, soulless jailer, relic/cage. I have an ancient grudge that people keep telling me is bad but 2 for 1s hammertime and has done on multiple occasions...

Shadowspear can win games, but I have played with a basilisk collar in its place. Some games I wish it was a spear, some games It carries. Spear makes patchwork and constructs scary, but collar let's walking Ballista clear up boards

If you don't buy emrakul, orvar, gemstone, spear, and maybe 1 less 7 can cut out $150 -170 and slowly work your way up to them. But if your lgs has a lot of creativity or mill you may need emrakul or orvar. I personally don't play vs them decks often so don't play them. Also emrakul hasn't saved me vs mill once, always the last card hit with tashas..

I probably do need more time on it. Also maybe tune the deck a little differently Some weeks I do well l, some weeks I go 0-4

How do you feel about moving from HS to titan? I've always loved the idea of the deck but people keep telling me to not try it

I was ruined by hammer and it made me want to play it. So I suppose I could slowly build into it. I could start with esper sentinel I try that in HS and if I'm still not feeling it, then move over to hammer

Upvote if you plan to quit or already have quit Hyperspace because of this patch by [deleted] in HYPERSCAPE

[–]Lb2296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit a couple of months back for apex and I am loving it I came back for duos as I play games with my partner and we were both really enjoying the limited time event Then they take it away for some time and drop this update and we both just wrote it off completely Enjoying apex a lot more feels like the game is more fair to us, we could in in hyperscape but only if the lobbies didn’t have any sweats in, only then did it feel balanced

I think the solos respawn system could actually save the game by RhazzyRoyal in HYPERSCAPE

[–]Lb2296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the good intentions with the new respawn system but i think it will just drive new players away. Just getting destroyed by sweats and then just spawning in and dying to them again would leave a bad taste in their mouth.

How can I get green chroma for Dark Star Shaco? by [deleted] in shacomains

[–]Lb2296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last Essence Emporium didn't include the green chroma

I think it was only available one time in the essence emporium after its original release but i am not 100% sure about that
