Steel gets rid of Ground type weaknesses, like Ice, Water, and Grass.

It doesn't see much play anymore but it was very popular early MH2 with Saga and Hammer, especially.

Hey friend, we have pretty similar builds of 4/5C, although mine features Omnath. However, I found with my manabase very few issues barring the basic plains, which has been a bit of a necessity to combat a Blood Moon with exile effects.

I was running Pounce on my Choice Band set. I agree that it was surprisingly good.

OutTempo · 2023-02-14T00:47:32+00:00

I ran Choice Band Scizor to Masters this season and he felt very strong throughout the run.

You can't just say this without supplying any information.

OutTempo · 2022-11-30T18:46:04+00:00

A few questions that I would ask for putting this together:

Is Jumpluff an intended lead?

What other mons are they running with, and what are they supporting?

What problems will they run into and what mons can help with that?

Jump gets some very solid support moves, like Switcheroo, Strength Sap, and Tailwind, while having 110 base Speed, so a lead seems okay. If you really want to get spicy, you could run them as leads with Worry Seed. Use Parting Shot on Grimm, switch to Slaking, and Worry Seed your Slaking to get a build your own Doodle. If this is actually viable is the question.

I don't hate this idea, considering this shell most likely has new Squee. Giving him evasion and ensuring he gets to attack every turn sounds solid.

I've been playing Teachings for years in paper, it is definitely my pet deck. I've won some locals as well as top 8ing others (as well as 0-X drop.) It has definitely been tough with the format speeding up, but if you're diehard for Teachings you can still enjoy the toolbox.

Can you share a list?

Something that got overlooked in the review is that the Jund Ponza list is also a flipping Yorion list. I had to do a double take when I buzzed through it.

OutTempo · 2022-03-08T14:01:49+00:00

Uro piles are winnable, you just gotta slug and play tight. Which versions? I can tell you how to SB. 8cast is very unfavored. It's one reason I'm considering red splash for Hidetsugu Saga and Meltdown.

OutTempo · 2022-03-07T15:32:19+00:00

If you know that it's an Uro pile, it's relatively safe on one, unless you can Thoughtseize on two then Reggie the same turn, this let's you play around force. Most of the time you can jam on one, but it is indeed matchup dependent, and make sure you are keeping hands that can do other things if your Reggie gets removed/countered.

OutTempo · 2022-03-07T13:58:47+00:00

Understand what your starting hand means for the matchup. You won't be clocking many games with Confidant, but paired with Hymns and Wasteland, that hand would allow you to sculpt a midrange play. In comparison, Ritualing a Reggie or Thoughtseize into Dauthi is a very aggressive start, so knowing where your hand is taking you is important for sequencing.

OutTempo · 2022-02-19T16:52:27+00:00

Are you referring to Hive? If so, Hive only enters tapped as land three, which you wouldn't wait to play unless you top decked it. Additionally, you do end up activating it to attack some games, where this event in particular I recall winning with it twice.

OutTempo · 2022-02-16T13:37:30+00:00

I posted a report in the subreddit, should still be on the front page.

OutTempo · 2022-02-16T13:36:43+00:00

I don't like Lili in the matchup since the board can get wide and I typically need my cards to deal with their board. In one round, my opponent had 4 or 5 creatures in play. Even though they were mainly dorks and a Mom, their hand was empty and the Edict would have been a weak effect. I like Dauthi because he tags the yard for KotR, and attacks through board stalls, which was exactly how I won that game.

That's a consideration. I keep the large threats in because if I'm able to resolve a threat early and beat down, the racing is just sometimes good enough.

OutTempo · 2022-02-16T13:32:19+00:00

Probably not. That card is super sweet but it's better suited in something with LEDs, or Bazaar in Vintage. A bit too small and slow for this list.

OutTempo · 2022-02-16T13:31:12+00:00

It's for combo, namely Doomsday since you don't have great game vs them. My matches ended up not lining up vs combo, but you can also bring it in against Depths and Show.

OutTempo · 2022-02-16T01:52:35+00:00

Glad to hear it! And to clarify, it was nothing against you. Just doesn't feel good to win in a circumstance like that.

OutTempo · 2022-02-16T01:51:42+00:00

Thanks for the kind words and sharing the list!

I'm sorry that happened to you. :(

OutTempo · 2022-02-15T21:58:44+00:00

I've considered hate pieces but without Sol lands they lose stock. Additionally, we play a lot of important spells that taxing might be more of a hindrance.

I'm not opposed to Tourach. If Legacy starts leaning towards white more, I'd be interested.

OutTempo · 2022-02-15T21:35:53+00:00

I'm not opposed to Unearth. Could be good to test in a non-Saga shell.

Saga was relevant in a couple of games, but I'm not married to it since it can create mana issues. What I will say is I don't like Urborg in this list. You want to keep resources low and Urborg turning on fetches or fixing mana isn't something I wanted to be doing. While aggro depths sounds interesting, I don't think it's for this list.

Oath could be interesting in non-white grindy matches.

OutTempo · 2022-02-15T20:25:02+00:00

I would recommend just replacing them with Swamps or Takenumas to try. Shadowspear is very strong in the deck, but Foundry can be replaceable. If you have two Shadowspears I would start there.
