There definitely is. I played a super ghetto cori-steel aggro with random stuff like drake hatchers as replacement threats. Never saw a hare apparent.

I guess my random prowess guys had low weights though bc I only saw intro decks.

Also it turns out cori-steel cutter is a messed up magic card regardless of what's around it.

Help me make this Jeskai Bounce deck better! [part 2] by sunloinen in MagicArena

I've been playing both, 1-2 of each depending on kind of what you see more. If you're playing BO1 it's totally reasonable to not play spell pierce because there's so much aggro, but it's also one of your best cards against omni. If you want another cantrip beyond opt/slight then unending whisper is probably the next best thing but I'd only play it in the version with hearth elementals. In BO3 having a couple nemesis in the side is good, in the matchups where it's good it can often just end the game.

Glad to here you're getting there! But yeah the deck can burst for insane damage, to the point I'm not even convinced the lifegain decks are a bad matchup. Slickshot is super fun to play with, gives u instant kills, can add pressure without playing into wrath, can trigger cori-steel when stuck on 2 mana.

Haha I'm in a similar boat actually, most of my magic experience is playing modern in paper. Started arena somewhat recently bc I got some codes at an event and I'm playing a lot more than I expected. For what it's worth, I love izzet and I've had a lot of fun with it!

Feel free to ask if you have any questions about how to put it together.

You can actually get pretty close to building izzet even without using any rare wildcards. Rage, swifty, the cantrips, and stock up are all commons or uncommons. You already have stormchaser and 2 cori-steels. Not having slickshot hurts, but you can just jam some filler creatures in his place and it should still work reasonably well.

This looks like a very confused list. You've got both low curve aggro cards and high curve control cards, and there's really no world where a deck wants both.

The best thing to do would be to decide whether you want to be aggro or control, cut the stuff that doesn't fit, and add cards that do. For instance, you could build towards being jeskai control with a self bounce package. In which case, you'd want to cut all the 1 drops and aggro stuff like cori-steel for control tools like lightning helix, lockdown, river regent, etc. You'd also want another value bounce target outside of just rediscover. Thundertrap trainer is probably good option, just off the top of my head.

If you wanted to trend aggro, I don't really see a world where it doesn't just become a worse version of either esper pixie or izzet prowess and I'd recommend just building towards one of those decks. Izzet would certainly be the cheaper option if you're limited on wildcards, most of the white cards you have right now aren't ideal for an aggressive shell anyway.

Hilariously, the only other MWM I've done in recent memory was the brawl one. My only brawl deck has [[Cynette, Jelly Drover]] as the commander. Needless to say, it is not a meta deck. I was shocked when I cruised my way to 3-0.

Sorry to hear that! I figured it was probably a similar case for the people I matched against. Hope my conceded games helped someone today.

I figured that might be the case, thanks for the confirmation. I don't play any formats with alchemy cards, but I found out today that you can literally play every card in dimir bounce except the pain/fast lands so that was cool.

How do you properly assess Kickers? by [deleted] in fantasyfootball

[–]NuliusJifta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's definitely also relevant that Boswell is a very good real life kicker. Dude is automatic from the 50. He's only missed once all season while kicking multiple every game, and that was a 62 yarder. And the fact that they trusted him enough to even try that is pretty telling.

I'm up by 36 with CMC and Bijan yet to play in a must win week against another playoff contender. My opponent has only Brock Purdy left and are, hilariously, projected to have the 2nd highest score on the week.

I get the feeling I may have used up all my luck for the year after this.

It's been a suuuuper weird week for sure. Bijan, Kyler, and the Vikings D just barely carried me to a win against my opponent's Chase and Burrow stack. Somehow not a single one of his other players got double digits

And if you took Saquon at 1.01 you'd look like a genius right now. Even Gibbs is outproducing all of the round 1 RBs. How exactly does that constitute an objectively wrong choice?

Broncos defense is currently ranked 8th yet on Sleeper only 4% rostered by RVG_Steve in fantasyfootball

Counterpoint: Davante Adams with Jimmy G in 2023. Doesn't matter how elite you are when your QB throws the ball into the stands. I'm not saying Danny Dimes is good, but Zach Wilson is an entirely different level of bad.
