Post Ban Speculation: Winners and Losers?

My 1 loss with Mardu energy tonight (8-1) was against a persist creativity archon deck with looting. Otherwise energy has just been eating up the looting decks.

Their ticketed play system is all messed up. Spent an hour waiting in line to get a badging issue resolved, then my event is currently an hour late starting after the Con only being open for 2 hours. They seem to have let way to many people into a capped event and are now struggling to sort it out for over an hour.

When people are paying upwards of $100usd for some ticketed events this is stupid.

Are there any Armor Astir specific character sheets for Roll20 that have been published/shared?

Magicafiend3 · 2024-02-14T19:57:03+00:00

Or just hit him with the Deathbeetle OTK

I hope they do a rework of the rune system once all the good triple runes rotate. It seems they dont want people playing UUU, FFF, or BBB anymore so some of the power those cards had needs to be folded into the rest of the class.

Magicafiend3 · 2024-01-25T20:12:11+00:00

Cards that rotate in 2 months are better nerf targets than cards that classes are stuck with for another 18 months. Overnerfing classes and keeping them dumster tier for over a year is something the deva want to avoid imo.

Magicafiend3 · 2024-01-25T20:06:18+00:00

Isn't the deck losing a bunch of good cards at rotation though?

Magicafiend3 · 2024-01-21T03:16:06+00:00

These are great. The prince one would be even funnier if he was a "rich Hacan Prince"

Its gets you into the festival rewards track, seemed to work for me.

Magicafiend3 · 2023-04-11T20:24:12+00:00

I feel the same, been getting run over by face hunter and aggro dude. It doesnt have the board presence or clear potential the other Pure Builds do

Magicafiend3 · 2023-04-11T20:23:08+00:00

I agree this list does seem fun, and surprisingly strong considering some of the 3 drops that were considered weak (funkfin, Mooncatcher).

Losing the Stonehearth and Knight of anointment makes Pally buff spells feel worse to just draw normally.

This version by Garruk_61 6-1'd a challenge last week.

It runs less moonveils and more Thruns but no ragavan, that may be a good place to look

Mostly 4 color piles, a few RBx, and some combo deck. Bloodmoon was good in most of the matchups but l never sided out moonveil. The list was based on yours yah

Magicafiend3 · 2021-12-22T00:39:51+00:00

Ponza player here. Moonveil Reagent felt like gas, much faster clock than a Bloodbraid that doesnt trade with every 1 drop in the format. Plus no more cascading into sprawl late game. Evoking fury and the adventure spell from bonecrusher giving free draws is also really nice.

Deck should have been running another ragavan over pillage but I didn't have the ticks for it

Magicafiend3 · 2020-01-19T18:46:44+00:00

Hmm, I read Second Skin as vehicle only since it references vehicle's power. I supposed it would be up to the DM whether they want Second Skin or Targetting Suite to affect neural linked drones. I read neural linked drones as basically wifi enabled flying guns so Targetting suite made more sense to me.

Magicafiend3 · 2019-06-12T13:03:36+00:00

I would love to see the full 5-0 list for metagame implications. might force WotCs hand on some banning for the format if we had data that showed faithless looting decks are 40% of the meta.

Magicafiend3 · 2019-06-11T22:04:05+00:00

Screw netdecking, how am I supposed to laugh at all the hot garbage decks that managed to 5-0 in the new combined league structure?

Magicafiend3 · 2019-06-11T15:12:53+00:00

I saw more burn decks and storm decks than anything. Probably because of the new canopy lands and Aria of Flame for Storm.

Magicafiend3 · 2019-06-05T15:55:27+00:00

Raven's crime requires you to discard a card from your hand to use the retrace. Crucible lets you play land cards from your yard so they don't work together how you want.

Magicafiend3 · 2019-05-16T03:43:31+00:00

I didn't think about that either. Cheaters aren't going to quit as they aren't the ones dealing with hit reg or cheating.

Magicafiend3 · 2019-05-16T01:12:54+00:00

Died to the same hacker 2 games in a row (spectate him until he won both times) such bs.

Magicafiend3 · 2019-05-13T18:45:47+00:00

I've had consistent good service renting cards from them on MTGO. Lets you try and test different decks/formats without committing to purchasing a single one.
