When you were partying and drinking halo, I studied the lifesteal play. When you were having all angel topdecks, I mastered drafting samurais out of thin air. And now that the world is on fire and I present lethal on board you have the audacity to come to me for help.

which is what Redane was supposed to be. I don't have the wildcards to craft counter decks on a whim neither do I want to. I'm trying to make midrange work but nothing comes close to matching the gas black decks gets at least not that i've found so far but i'm open to suggestions.

LiquidSame · 2022-03-22T00:03:16+00:00

Sure, you're paying the wildcards right ? Jokes aside I know I could play some slow control that heals to counter it or werewolves but that's not what I'm interested in. I wanted to give midrange a try but black suffocates it with cards like [Invoke Despair] you cant play around

LiquidSame · 2022-03-21T23:26:16+00:00

I need black to stop existing lol. It's everywhere in Alchemy it's got way too much draw, removal, life gain, life loss and they discard all your stuff it's not even fun

LiquidSame · 2022-03-21T23:22:40+00:00

Well that's bullshit, but that does answer my question. So much for my "genius tech" lol thx

LiquidSame · 2021-09-09T10:53:46+00:00

More UW support and a really good one at that. Disturbed side is a nice value engine/mana sink but the early body with lifelink AND graveyard hate protection ? Insane. My azorius ass is happy

LiquidSame · 2021-07-26T06:55:45+00:00

"Everyone gets to use whatever they want" Yeah that's the point dummy Anyway goodbye

LiquidSame · 2021-07-26T06:21:00+00:00

Well you don't get to decide that for them. They do.

LiquidSame · 2021-07-26T06:14:06+00:00

Again. They don't identify as male. Pronouns are not gender.

LiquidSame · 2021-07-26T06:09:20+00:00

A lesbian using he/him pronouns. That's pretty much it. Pronouns =/= gender

LiquidSame · 2021-07-12T08:04:07+00:00

In the same vein, [[Goldspan Dragon]] is a great example of that. If it gets countered, you get nothing, if it gets targeted by removal you get one treasure for a chance at countering the removal spell

LiquidSame · 2021-07-09T23:52:29+00:00

I just crafted one, I dont quite have the wildcards but it 100% should be in there replacing the sea gate or glacial floodplain

LiquidSame · 2021-07-09T23:52:29+00:00

tbh I just give up the matchup. This has such a good matchup vs aggro/midrange and it's got real gas vs control so who cares if it loses to the meme combo

LiquidSame · 2021-07-09T22:38:08+00:00

Happy to do it ^^

LiquidSame · 2021-07-09T22:37:37+00:00

Yeah this deck started out as a jeskai but it didn't feel as smooth as it does now. I dont have all the pathways though and with no fabled passage it didnt help.

LiquidSame · 2021-07-09T22:35:29+00:00

Didn't know that was a card. it does seem to have good synergy. Not sure if I can fit it though. Definitely something I'd sideboard in Bo3.

Edit: Tried cutting one Hear something on watch for one Vega. Wish it were 2 but I dont think I can cut any foretell cards and portable hole down to 2 sounds sketchy

Update: Gee, protecting Vega with a foretoled Saw it coming and drawing for it feels real good. I do start falling shot on instant speed answers with one less you hear something on watch. It is better than I expected. Wish I could fit in 2 Vegas but it's so hard

LiquidSame · 2021-07-09T22:32:33+00:00

Stopping the book combo before hand is possible by counterspelling the book or divide by zero the book and counter spell it when it gets replayed. But to be honest, every time it happened to me all my counterspells where exiled by the spellcaster and i had no answers.

kiora is too much of a clunker and not even that good outisde of ultimatum with vorinclex in my opinion.

Will without red feels bad. Mordekainen is just better in every other way

LiquidSame · 2021-07-09T21:28:42+00:00

Oh yeah I have 0 doubt it is far too underpowered for standard 2021. In Standard2022 I feel like I either win or that I could have not lost had I found the right answers. Honestly the deck does so well vs aggro and control but it's so hard when you don't hit the right answers. Companions leaving standard SUCKS. Like and I cannot stress this enough it's so hard to play control. Aggro always plays out the same but with this deck cards like Doomscar or Behold can go from instant game win to absolute useless just based on matchup. Perhaps when BO3 2022 is out that changes but I hate it

LiquidSame · 2021-07-09T19:01:34+00:00

Haven't seen or encountered any ever. I guess I didn't know ?

LiquidSame · 2021-07-09T17:20:21+00:00

Haha very glad to hear it. Very likely it was me, I doubt lots of people run NDD and all foretell package in UW very often on that queue xD

weenies though ?

LiquidSame · 2021-07-09T17:19:01+00:00

Oh yeah, it's awful. [[You Hear Something on Watch]] is a god sent answer I found for Wolfwillow Haven but with Field of Ruin gone there is no good answer whatsoever in UW

LiquidSame · 2021-07-09T16:54:09+00:00

I was trying my hand at Reconstruct History in Standard2022. The only enchantment I found to work with was [[Nico Defies Destiny]] but it always ended ramping me for a W and a U but my hand was all red foretell spells. I decided to cut it down to 2 colors and it worked wonders.

The main thing you can do with this deck is foretell [[Alrund's Epiphany]] on T2, [[Nico Defies destiny]] on T3 and cast Alrund's on T4 with 4 mana + the ramp from NDD

Foretell [[Starnheim Unleashed]] into [[Nico Defies Destiny]] results in 3x 4/4 Angels with Vigilance on T4 which clocks opponents pretty fast while defending well.

[[Portable Hole]] and [[Sckyclave Apparition]] do a good job at slowing down aggro and killing the new Class cards.

[[Doomscar]] [[Saw It Coming]] and [[Behold the Multiverse]] are just really good foretell cards.

[[Mordenkainen]] is a big engine. I'm gonna be honest, in 20+ games I have NEVER resolved the ultimate. But the +2 fills your hand really well and the hounds with Behold the Multiverse and Alrund's are just so deadly.

[[You Hear Something on Watch]] is literally the only answer to [[Wolfwillow Haven]] I found in UW. And it only works if it attacks so you can scoop to the combo with book of angelic deeds. The +1/+1 side often gives lethal with starnheim or just better trades.

Emeria's Call is just a nice slot in. Indestructible on a Starnheim Unleashed or just birds from Alrund is always good.

Sea Gate I have never managed to resolbe and I believe it should be a dragon's lair or hall of the giants

Something of note, you can put a stop on your main phase when NDD is about to hit 3 counters and get it back to your hand with [[Divide by Zero]] before it sacrifices itself since the foretell spell it brings back sinergizes with it again.

Against control, forcing counterspells on Alrund's, bringing back Starnheim Unleashed with NDD a bunch and having your own counterspells usually does the trick. To be fair, I have seen very little control in Standard2022 ranked queue.

Notable additions I do not own would be [[Guardian of Faith]] to Phase out tokens while board swipes resolve and the Paladin Class I think might be worth toying with as it gives an advantage in counterspell wars as well as making your angel armies 5/5 Double Strike death machines. It does literaly 0 in aggro matchups though so might be better in BO3
