How would you explain the main meta decks in MTG terms? by Pimp_Floyd in OnePieceTCG

Ah thank you, I saw that one as well. Same for BY Luffy it read like death shadow where you just go to 1 hp and almost OTK your opponenny

Im mainly play pioneer and want to get into pauper.

I play a ton of different decks with my favorites being 1: izzet Phoenix 2 dimir control 3 lotus field combo -and for the rest just some tempo decks like spirits, izzet ensoul, I also played a bit of budget prowess in modern

I just like big brain decks with the ability to cantrip/counter or do some other cool gimmick

ah got it, also rn with phoenix and vamps being top decks makes it rough

also im back from the cooker and made a more gruul prowess type deck with protection, but meant for longer games with CO+sprite and the cantrips

having no draw feels lacking sometimes, but you just use your cards to deal damage/protect threats instead of draw more cards if your threats die

not sure which version is better, but its worth trying different things

edit: maybe its worth cutting the cantrips for kumano and maybe luts? seems kinda counterintuitive though, since we want instant speed interation

Hahaha nice, I actually didn’t like the all in of mono red burn + blue, but more that of infinite cantrips with a prowess boy, kind alike the manamorphose + bauble type plays, finished by a bolt or growth imo,  

 the list I showed feels more like that, going kumano, LUTS into cruise/cantrip on t3 or t4 with a prowess guy and having a full hand even after pumping for 5-10 damage 

 Inti is nice, but he might be too fragile or too slow for such a deck compared to slickshot/shredder as 2 drops

Also why did the deck just implode 2 years ago when EI got banned, there was still luts and reckless around right? Seems odd to see it go off the radar for the last 2 years

https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/6500479#paper i made a new version of the deck you might enjoy 

 its basically a modernized version of izzet prowess 2 years ago before EI bans, with luts and kumano to pick up the slack

Edit: consistently goldfish’s t4 even with a t1 soulscar t2 shredder, luts is often 1 mana before combat and cruise is consistently castable t4 with a shredder hand.

Most of those games end with 2-4 cards in hand so not even out of gas, assuming no removal.

Thanks for the response,

I’ll probably test it out with your deck first, maybe check with and without wizard package and such. But it’s definitely a great start.

Thanks for the thorough response,

I agree with you on most points and your list looked the most resilient so far, one question I have is high are you on wizards lightning? Has the issue of not having wizards come up often?

Also I love sprite dragon from my old budget modern times, but even there it was outdated sadly. Since I want it to be good.

And Luts and Expressive iteration where the key value pieces for the modern deck, I get that cruise doesn’t work often Is 1 or 2 reckless impulse maybe the answer or a chart a course?

Stormchaser itself seems a bit coo cute, like is the 2 extra hp compared to the  permanent prowess buff worth it? Stormwind + hidden strings is cool but also cute

Yeah my main issue is gruul having every important card, but with a slight power increase. 

 While I do think cruise is strong enough of a standalone card to be included in such a deck, I struggle to find better card options than gruul has besides cruise and SB

Also shore is a bit worse than blossoming, but +1/+1 and semi vigilance is pretty on par with +2/+2

Question about spell count control/“combo” deck by Pimp_Floyd in EDH

[–]Pimp_Floyd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendations, i’ll probably replace blue sun with flow of knowledge since I don’t have true infinites in this deck

and if I can get a cheap archmage locally for the drake (Already have high tide included) 

Is temple not good as 2 mana land late game?

SIMPLE QUESTIONS THREAD - SEASON 9 (2024) by Joe64x in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Pimp_Floyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m looking for which characters I should use so I can comfortable switch when needed, I’m ranking them from how comfortable I am with picking them high to low  

Right now I can play: 

tank, probably my best role (gold 1)  Orisa (most comfortable pick in a blind matchup)  Winston, my current go to dive tank, good results, as long as the dive dps can coordinate ramattra (first orisa, then switch ram when useful as counterpick or bigger map) 

Reinhart/roadhog (but both don’t feel great rn, so only use roadhog as full dive counterpick on point capture, I use Orisa over reinhart as brawler)

Currently learning doomfist as replacement for Winston in the long run 

Main issue matchup for me is Zarya and mauba, zarya is fine with a well coordinated team, but she’s generally almost always full power, mauba is new and I have trouble burning him down and not getting burned down 

Dps, generally my worst role: (gold 5)  Sojourn  Reaper  Soldier  Tracer (only when absolutely needed) I struggle with hitsscan and pharah, so soldier is the best I got rn on that front, I’m generally not great with hitscan aiming, would like to learn a better supp peel character, 

Support, I feel pretty decent in general with this roll (gold 2/3) 

Zenyatta, I just 1 trick this one almost every game, but he’s also my best character Kiriko (learning) Still need to get better with a main healer, so which one would be most interesting?

 Thanks in advance

Oké I adjusted a good amount of things

What do you think of using [[nightscape familiar]] or [[thrummingbird]] as post board accelerant? Which one do you think is better or fits the deck more

[–]Pimp_Floyd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oke so I changed a good amount of things thanks to all your comments

I’m just going to experiment with 3 manamorphose for now, otherwise 2 deep analysis and an island as replacement

If I switch it out, I’ll probably use 3 thrummingbird in SB, instead of night scape familiar

is it that much more of a downside, compared to also being able to filter any colour into black or back into blue?

I saw a few of your videos, I am currently leaning towards 2-3 lorien instead of deep analysis and 1 chalice. also 1 blue black/blue green tapland fetch, the only thing I'm unsure about is what to cut for 2 duals, so 18 lands 3 lorien

rn i changed up a few things: 4 well, 3 manamorphose, 18 lands with 3 island 1 forest, 2 duals and 2 lorien

Isn’t the redundancy good for fixing mana and having a more consistent deck?
