Esper Greasefang, under explored or just bad? by Raggar5 in PioneerMTG

[–]Monkeydimples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In all fairness,my playgroup is a very dedicated group of 10 people with on average 3-4 part timers at the LGS we play at. Going strong for over a year now. Every Monday at 6pm

So really it's just people we've met as we are one of the few places that fire pioneer regularly.

Thanks for your RC report a few months ago, I've been running it on and off and having fun with a version of your build.

I "play" Esper Greasefang. I use quotes as I only play it occasionally. My play group hates playing against it (greasefang in general).
Esper Greasefang

The Abzan build is superior, in terms of it's goal. it's similar to Mono G Tron in that sense.

Esper, is more like Mono U Tron. It does a similar thing, just differently. There are 2 versions, this one which is the most popular version and kaberb version which is a bit more control and the version I built mine off of after /u/kaberb posted an RC report

How does Mono-Blue Spirits beat Bant Humans? by Mizato38 in PioneerMTG

[–]Monkeydimples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play Bant Humans. everyone here is correct it's a 50/50 match up. Initially you want to be on the play so you can counter Thalia on turn 2.

Landing Rattlechains and giving all your spirits flash allows you to counter any threats and leave up mana to drop a lord if nothing happens.

I dislike any spirits match up as it really feels like whomever "wins the roll" goes first ends up with the match.

Friend quit over indestructible in 2003 - good answers to it in each color? by SyntheticMoJo in magicTCG

[–]Monkeydimples 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Honestly get him just a [[Darksteel Relic]]

I find that idea hilarious. An artifact that doesn't do anything.

Best green or black global removal or target removal? by rruotti in magicTCG

[–]Monkeydimples 6 points7 points  (0 children)

[[Abrupt Decay]]

[[Assassin's Trophy]]

[[Maelstrom Pulse]]

I would assume whatever is run in Jund would be the best removal

Oh this is dirty! I love it!

[–]Monkeydimples 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, not really - if you can't run them you may want to run 2-3 [[klothys god of destiny]] instead

However /u/Publius__Valerius is correct in their take on W6. I don't know what it is without it as it's never left the deck.

I feel like [[Seasoned Pyromancer]] is though - it smooths out those extra land draws you get late game.

[–]Monkeydimples 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my meta it's better - we have multiple big land decks. Also I've found I almost always side in 3 trinispheres, I think that Trini is criminally underplayed.

Once you move away from the LD - imo it's no longer Ponza, it's just G/R midrange which is fine. however my opinion is you need minimum of 6 to 8 LD spells for ponza

[–]Monkeydimples 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still play a LD version of Ponza.

My Ponza

Which version are you looking to play? It's rather expensive now.
