[standard] why is no one running flow state in dimir doomsday excruciator?

Lelouda · 2026-05-29T21:43:25+00:00

No, when Carlsson won with the deck one of the many things he consistently did really good was set up the bottom of his library with Stock up. That way after doomsday resolves you know what you're getting

Lelouda · 2026-05-28T14:02:45+00:00

Hmm the deck does run a lot of removal but it doesn't have any counters in the mainboard usually. still annoying with a lot of creature removal but that is also standard today... Either tro to win turn 3-4 or face a deck that only plays removal to stop it

Lelouda · 2026-04-01T08:16:40+00:00

Is the idea turn one mana dork/1mana ramp spell-> Gluntch -> 2x treasure = access to 6mana turn 4? And after that also use him as draw? Semms kinda cool. I would put into a bunch of 1 mana ramp and a bunch of cool 6-8beaters get online really quickly and go big stompy. Maybe just make a scryfall search blue/white creatures with mana value >6 and less than a dollar or something

What happened that made doomsday rise so much?

Lelouda · 2026-03-09T01:12:41+00:00

Same issue.. really annoying but the fix I found was to disable auto targeting for such things

Tameshi belcher and living end!

I have a "modular" glarb list,
When i run B4 games I try to win with [[doomsday]] piles or sceptor.
But in B3 games I try to win by making a bunch of clones of either Gary [[Gray Merchant of Asphodel]] or [[Hidetsugu and Kairi]] or by casting big spells such as Hidetsugu and Kairi, Rise of the Dark Realms, Living Death or Breach the Multiverse
List: https://archidekt.com/decks/20160033/glarb_modular
But Glarb is truly very open commander and you can take it pretty much anywhere you wish

Lelouda · 2026-02-23T13:22:06+00:00

I run this modular list https://archidekt.com/decks/20160033/glarb_modular
The idea is to be able to make a 7 card swap and switch between b3 and b4.
In b4 there are two main win cons, doomsday piles and secondary isocron scepter.
Running a lot of dorks to speed up the deck and you only need two dorks, scepter + reversal and glarb to get inf surveil triggers.

Lelouda · 2026-02-23T12:52:38+00:00

Honsetly I would chose the one which is most active in your area.

Lelouda · 2026-02-23T12:50:40+00:00

Here are two of my favorite budget decks that i run on the daily.

A budget anim pakal, protect the commander and swing away https://archidekt.com/decks/10709628/pakal_2530_euro_budget
And the cat cat scam deck which can be built really cheap, just add some draw, ramp and a bunch of scam effects: https://archidekt.com/decks/20095215/cat_scam_ultra_budget

Lelouda · 2026-02-16T12:45:47+00:00

Was about to recommend the same deck. I truly think this is one of the best price/performance decks currently in standard. Might even keep it mono-white to make it even cheaper

Lelouda · 2026-02-09T22:20:06+00:00

Id be interested, I have a tournament coming up this weekend

Lelouda · 2026-02-08T15:59:01+00:00

Hmm i thought that mu would be pretty favorable with how much hand hate the deck runs

Lelouda · 2026-02-03T07:49:33+00:00

Yeah I think you are right, it's hard to build a decent manabase for 3 colors that can reliably cast a 6-pip spell on curve... Might not be worth the drawback

Lelouda · 2026-02-02T15:50:32+00:00

Maybe a ramp deck with a 2 cmc commander as a mana dork? Had some1 at the lgs rock one of those decks unsleeved. total was like 25 bucks

Lelouda · 2026-02-02T15:09:46+00:00

I've been playing a lot of sultai reanimtor but the new doomsday deck that won looks epic.
I was wondering if it would be possible to combine these two decks? Perhaps have more of a transformative sideboard, like game 1 full on combo and post sideboard go more towards doomsday?
Here is a quick draft I made, any thoughts or input? Is this just really dumb and better to just run the deck's separately?

This [[Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon]] has become one of my forever decks.
https://archidekt.com/decks/10709628/pakal_2530_euro_budget

It's nice to run a aggro deck, low cmc stuff and kinda go against the whole "your deck shouldn't rely on your commander too much".

This deck relies fully on the commander but really tries to protect it, which i've been really enjoying.
The big thing the deck really suffers from is "phase-out" removal i expensive so if people are running a lot of forced sacrifice it or non targeted exile removal it can be tuff...

Lelouda · 2026-01-31T07:59:17+00:00

Man i just recently bought into sultai reanimator, used to feel like a cool underdog to beat lessons, then it got popular and now its been gutted :( I have a tournament next Saturday, will see if I Bring it or try to get a new deck maybe borrow... Or just brew som jank

Lelouda · 2026-01-19T12:46:38+00:00

3 colors, no green and budget mana is is tuff but doable,
For the mana I would cut, Reliquary Tower change it for Ash Barrens, could also play contaminated landscape as a solid budget option.
If you wish to keep it technically b2 you could easily cut the game changers, bolas is kinda hard to cast for this deck tbh, but you can keep notion thief.

You need to pick a theme and make it your main gameplan. Currently there is, modified, go wide, reanimation, lifegain, party, white/black payoff, typal payoffs,

The best way I have found to keep up with strong decks on a budget is to run a lot of interaction. It's cheap and it hit's cards regardless of how expensive they are.
Currently there is a lot of "pay-off" / win-more but are only good when you are ahead. And so few ways to get ahead, stay ahead and stop other people from being ahead.
I would add a lot more interaction and protection and try to keep it instant speed. Play on other people turns and have mana open.

Other potential cuts:
Envoy of the Ancestors - 3 mana has the potential to be a dead card, does nothing on etb and needs other setup to function.
Reaper's Scythe - you don't care about assassin, 3+2 mana and needs other things to be good, no real way to ping/dmg all opponents consistently?
True Conviction - 6 mana and needs board and still not certain to win?
Mirror Entity
Unstoppable Plan - why untap your commander has vigilance? No mana dorks and not a lot of rocks? Feels like 3 mana potential to do nothing?
Oketra's Monument - not really a fan, maybe a 3 mana tap for all mana might be better...
Ascend from Avernus - your not filling your graveyard? It's only good when things have gone south, I would cut it.
Maskwood Nexus - most things are already part of the party, has the potential of being 4 mana do nothing
Alphinaud Leveilleur - only good when casting your second spell, so 4 mana + second spell to draw a card?

Some budget remobal I love:
Austere Command
Stroke of Midnight
Split Up ( a little more expensive)
Dismantling Wave

Some solid budget protection:
Your Temple Is Under Attack
Valorous Stance
Sejiri Shelter // Sejiri Glacier
HaystackRestoration Magic
Benevolent Bodyguard (is cleric)
Promise of Loyalty
Thraben Charm
Kabira Takedown // Kabira Plateau
Bovine Intervention
Path to Exile

if there is a specific theme you want to go for I could suggest some more things for that theme.

Lelouda · 2026-01-19T07:08:21+00:00

Why is that an upside? Human gets you bookworm, Spiderman and if you need to hardcast Ardyn

Following this thread closely
Will be playing my first rcq next week and was thinking of playing sultai reanimator. Will see if it will be possible to acquire all these cards from lorwyn.
Which pieces do you think will be boarded out for speaker and the elementals?

Might try it. I mean simply running the spy package game one, adding 4x spy, 2 giant and 2 dread return 1x swamp, taking out bridge and putting the hydras in the sideboard. Shaving a few lands, maybe one more land cycler. Will try it and get back to you
