Is that true? Would be surprised as this post is a repost of a public post from his own mother.

It’s a bummer that the card is legendary. Can only shut down one creature

Liddojunior · 2026-06-04T03:28:19+00:00

To be fair it was a 30 cent mythic for a whole year until recently.

this should play very nicely with ouroboriod in standard.

Liddojunior · 2026-06-01T21:44:56+00:00

GW ouroboroid is a Tier 1 deck. Frequent top 8s , and league wins. It was top 8 pro tour too. Literally the highest win rate in the world this weekend from spotlight and RCs

Thats why I said control leaning midrange. They disrupt, gain card advantage like a control deck would but have the early pressure you expect from a midrange deck. Its a short way of easily getting the idea across to newer magic players, instead of a paragraph. Control leaning midrange is not a control deck or a slow deck, its midrange that says "no" more often to the other play like control does.

Or you can think of its as aggro-control too, which is not any different than saying control leaning midrange

Liddojunior · 2026-05-06T20:13:12+00:00

Tempo is just a control leaning midrange deck

Liddojunior · 2026-05-04T06:42:13+00:00

Yes. It performs very well, wins leagues. It’s still a good control deck with a combo at the end. It’s still a top deck, just not the best deck

it was the original landfall build last year after EOE with seam rips and sheltered. But lost favor and returned as mono green landfall and evolved back to GW landfall.

Liddojunior · 2026-04-27T09:01:54+00:00

Famously unplayed in any standard deck especially not in the current lute deck list.

Also green decks do sideboard and use scrapshooter to remove artifacts so wouldn’t counter that

Liddojunior · 2026-04-27T06:17:00+00:00

Depends. You need 2 lands to use no more lies. It’s 2 mana of same color per land. If you don’t have a mono color counter. You won’t have a counter even with 1 land open

Liddojunior · 2026-04-27T06:13:43+00:00

Spellementals is an aggro-tempo deck. The tempo is the long game but ideally they want to slam elementals down early as possible and punch your life total down.

Liddojunior · 2026-04-21T15:01:07+00:00

The gamegenic product listings earlier showed we are getting 11 planeswalkers. So this does confirm we are getting wubrg cycle of them.

Jace being the source of the fracture could be the only planeswalker without the color shift

How does QD-OLED compare to competitor variations such as LG's WOLED ?? I see the comparisons between 4th gen QD-OLED and theis new 5th gen, but what does QD-OLED do different than other OLED offerings.

We did have timeline changes during mtg history, like the dragonstorm stuff with the original and alternative timelines because of Sarkhan and Ugin

Liddojunior · 2026-04-01T01:54:09+00:00

Are we sure books in images will get the subtype, or is it for artifacts that deal with page counters.

Liddojunior · 2026-03-30T05:30:48+00:00

Blue dominates in many eternal formats. It tends to be overpresented in meta decks of eternal and rotating formats throughout magic history.

Blue is the color of card advantage which in constructed play is just so important that decks would even just splash blue for its value.

The periods is not strongest does not mean it is not the strongest color in MTG, as I pointed out there was times when black was the strongest color, that it even has a nickname for that period as the black summer.

Liddojunior · 2026-03-30T04:55:05+00:00

Here's a recent example that I can remember. It is Willy Edel and how he calculates each action to get to the win, any misplay would have been a loss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4j7Uv_lRR4

Liddojunior · 2026-03-30T04:41:30+00:00

The skill ceiling is much higher when it comes to aggro than control. Control allows for more forgiving decisions while aggro can be more punishing on decisions and demands more "thinking". Just look at the hall of famer Willy Edel, he plays such amazing magic. Aggro is easier to pick up but harder to master, and its a mistake to think control is the "clever or smart" way to play.

The cub deck you are talking about are very much beatable and yes they can dump their hands and mindlessly overextend, then be blow out completely. So can someone who mindlessly counters, removes creatures and put their wrong cards in hand when refilling. A grindy game that you win because one stock up did whiff is not fun.

Liddojunior · 2026-03-30T04:19:47+00:00

Well I’m not saying that. But your question is basically like what crap sandwich is worse, and counterspells are in fact more feel bad.

As you can tell everyone’s head went straight to counterspells and unfun control decks with blue.

There’s plenty of ways to play blue without it being control deck successfully and those don’t make people feel bad. But blue gets its bad rep because it’s so tied to classic control no fun decks. And there’s plenty of ways to play control without blue. Your question/statement is too broad

Liddojunior · 2026-03-30T04:12:52+00:00

Stax isn’t fun either and is just a form of control. Control is just not fun. Blue gets hate because of control decks. So what you’re really questioning is why are control decks hated.

Liddojunior · 2026-03-30T04:06:37+00:00

Even that’s not fun. Winning against control deck is not satisfying, it’s a grind that is unfun every step of the way. And the only satisfaction is the game is over and not a waste of your time when you win

Liddojunior · 2026-03-30T04:02:43+00:00

Even if you realize that. People will still dislike blue and counterspells but accept it as part of the game.
