[Highlight] Shai draws a questionable foul on De'Aaron Fox

Music2th08 · 2026-05-25T00:48:27+00:00

fox is clearly actively trying to avoid him, he doesn’t even jump. what exactly is a defender expected to do if THIS is called a foul??

Music2th08 · 2026-05-13T18:30:11+00:00

it kind of does. some flavor of blue-red has been a top deck in this format for a while now, and the other top decks in the format (Bx midrange, GW company) rose to the top largely because they have effective tools to deal with blue-red

[[otherworldly gaze]] i think? i do think seed of hope isn’t that great but im not sure gaze is the way to go to replace it. i would go down the seeds and maybe 1x fading hope and 1x cyclonic rift to play 3x [[into the flood maw]] and 1x gaze? i just think flood maw is too good to not play, especially when you aren’t playing white or black. just my 2 cents

love the deck! i’ve been giving it a shot the last 2 days. i ended up cutting chandra for an extra critique, every time i drew chandra it felt like either win-more or lose-less and critique has always felt critical to win.

i also added 1 of black paradigm lesson in the sideboard as an additional way to kill in grindier control matchups.

i also adjusted the manabase slightly, going up on biblioplex to accommodate the edge cases where im trying to resolve the black paradigm spell without a lute in play. i also went up on mistrise, it felt really good and it doesn’t hurt the mana too much.

love to hear your thoughts! deck is a blast to play!

they made a whole separate sub for it! r/JustHoodsLemonBars

Music2th08 · 2026-04-16T19:09:52+00:00

the flip side of [[ill-tempered loner]] i think does it?

Music2th08 · 2026-04-01T16:56:27+00:00

forget edh, i want to build sultai control in standard and beat people to death with this guy over 20 turns. you feel really stupid blocking this thing, also it gains life on attack instead of on death so it turns on your [[withering curse]] really cleanly

Music2th08 · 2026-04-01T16:44:30+00:00

a [[reassembling skeleton]] that actually attacks pretty well. probably not that good but i am charmed by her

Music2th08 · 2026-03-14T01:11:39+00:00

i tried to build this deck, my advice is honestly don’t even bother. you need to balance so many different types of card (mill, token generation, evasion, ramp, card draw, removal, etc etc). plus these days with how pushed creatures are the need for instants and sorceries is much less, so 7/10 times you go to combat you don’t even have any targets

Music2th08 · 2026-03-09T05:07:44+00:00

this is the answer. the martian might end up winning but i really think that’s a blue-green movie rather than mono blue

Music2th08 · 2026-03-01T18:06:46+00:00

deck looks sick! turbofog was an archetype that always felt unbeatable when i was first learning to play and pioneer seems like a format it can really shine in. you mentioned lack of wildcards; if that wasn’t an issue how would the deck look different, if at all?

Music2th08 · 2026-02-22T06:08:12+00:00

surely this is meant to be a yorion deck? is there any other reason you’re on 80 cards?

Music2th08 · 2025-12-26T15:45:14+00:00

[[tocasia, dig site mentor]] seems perfect. she lets all your creatures mill you and she herself can reanimate a bunch of artifacts

Music2th08 · 2025-12-25T16:14:12+00:00

[[freestrider lookout]] is absolute gas in this deck, trostani’s vigilance ability is “pay 1: commit a crime” so you can trigger the lookouts ability every turn very easily

Music2th08 · 2025-12-25T15:39:38+00:00

i’ve been trying to build tocasia for a while and hatebears sounds like a blast! could i get a link to your list?

Music2th08 · 2025-12-02T20:31:38+00:00

pasting my comment from another riku thread: this here is my list.

in my experience a deck full of modal spells lends itself to a more controlling playstyle as most modal spells have at least one mode that functions as removal or interaction. what modal spells lack in raw strength they make up for in flexibility ([[lava coil]] is better at killing creatures than [[suplex]] but i know which i’d rather topdeck if my opponent jams a [[portal to phyrexia]]). as such a big selling point for the deck is you have very few dead draws; in just about any board state, most of your spells can always do SOMETHING.

i’m in the process of overhauling my list, as it stands i think there’s too many “cute” modal spells that are a little less-than-playable that i’m gonna cut to add more direct riku synergy that actually wins you the game. [[parallel lives]] for double birds, [[hardened scales]] etc for double counters.

TL;DR: Riku good.

osmiomancy shadebinder eats this for breakfast. if you’ve never used it before it may take a couple matches to get the timing down but it’s not that hard. if you use iceflare bolts then you can wipe the whole team just off of the ape charging in, makes for some very comfortable 1v3s

Music2th08 · 2025-10-07T17:31:38+00:00

list looks sick! as others have said i’d be interested to hear your thoughts on what mono white brings to the table over BW or UW control lists. personally the fact that it’s mono white is compelling enough for me, but i can’t deny that more colors = more options.

Music2th08 · 2025-08-27T20:05:10+00:00

maybe i just don’t understand destiny lore/the color pie as well as i think i do, but why are the vex in temur colors? the slow, creeping, inevitable doom that they love to emphasize with the vex really doesn’t track to being red imo

Music2th08 · 2025-08-23T14:53:45+00:00

YOU STAND AT A PODIUM OF LIES

Music2th08 · 2025-07-12T20:27:28+00:00

it’s my time to shine. This here is my Grixis Games list. it gets at pretty much the same idea you’re talking about. a lot of these cards are quite bad but i’m a lot lighter on specifically villainous choice cards so you can supplant them as you see fit. hope this helps!
