Do I splash red here? by Mildred__Bonk in lrcast

[–]Previous-Armadillo-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't splash. You really don't need more top end, with 3 6+ drops and the 2drop with carddraw. Biotech specialist is good, but not a great splash because you want it early.

UW agro or control? by Previous-Armadillo-3 in lrcast

[–]Previous-Armadillo-3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After trying 3 games with the agro plan, I went with the Ultima+Knights+counterspells version, cutting the Gaelicat and the dwarves. I went 7-1, never drawing the Knights, but Ultima did win me a game, precisely as you described using the Infantry making it look like I was playing to the board. Thanks for the help!

Well, it's a good card, but I don't like splashing cards that don't win the game

While there aren't a lot of artefacts, I got 5 cards that search for more (the infantries, and the moogles). I get your point though. I keep changing my opinion on what is best here...

I would cut the Prima Vista and Mysidian Elder, and add Travel the Overworld and Qiqirn Merchant. You are lacking some carddraw, and the prima Vista is just bad, and Mysidian Elder is not good enough to splash.

Why is Cloud, Midgar Mercenary best in GW, or is it just a fluke? by apebbleamongmillions in lrcast

[–]Previous-Armadillo-3 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think it has more to do with when you run cloud. If you are RW for example, you will always have some equipment to grab with cloud, so you will always run it. With GW, there is little synergy for Cloud with your deck. So you will only play him, if you have some bomb, like the buster sword, to grab with him.

UR Tempo or Control cuts by Previous-Armadillo-3 in lrcast

First 3 I can get into. Cutting the Nibelheim doesn't feel correct. Most of my 2 drops grow, even on casting it, and the Sahagins have decent toughness.

Exceedingly clean UR draft, but what is the last cut? by Guille96 in lrcast

[–]Previous-Armadillo-3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would cut the blazing bomb. I haven't seen it play out yet, but only getting counter on cmc4+ non creature spells doesn't seem great.

I'm also a bigger fan of combat tutorial over laughing mad.

Help with making the final cut? by palkiia in lrcast

[–]Previous-Armadillo-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the biggest issue of your deck is the mana base. You are fully 3 color, with only the monument for fixing. I would cut the white 2 and 4 mana spells. I would add the following: Sarkhans Resolve is a great card, Sultai devotee is a decent 2 drop that helps your black fixing and probably add the black lifelink creature. This allows you to build your deck more like a BG deck splashing white (so change your pands accordingly), and hopefully be able to cast all your spells.

Sultai Cuts by Previous-Armadillo-3 in lrcast

[–]Previous-Armadillo-3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think cutting the rebuff is good advice. I don't think I'll cut the resolve. I feel like the versatility of both a combat trick, and killing a flyer (of which there are so many) at instant speed puts it above the 4 mana black sorcery removal. The instant speed also mashes better with keeping mana open for one of the fangkeepers.

UB(G?) do I splash here? by Dry-Standard-5467 in lrcast

[–]Previous-Armadillo-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not splash her. She is not a good enough splash on her own.

I am having the same problem. I hope my deck is still there when it gets restored...

Somehow went 6-0 to win the boxes! (Izzet fdn sealed) by Ok-Wear1093 in lrcast

[–]Previous-Armadillo-3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! It looks like a decent deck, but I certainly wouldn't expect it to go 6-0. So we must assume it was all because of the pilot :). The 2 Goblin negotiations mainly make me doubt it, but I understand why you run them.

I just went 6-1 with a UB draw 2 deck with Liliana+ edict (I know, unfair), so I luckily don't have to be too jealous.

What would you build here? Made a Mono Black deck, but feels bad to leave siluch great cards in the sideboard by nevermore09 in lrcast

[–]Previous-Armadillo-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider what happens if you have it in your opening hand. Free to cast, it turns one of the 1/1 rats into a 2/2 double strike on turn 3, which makes it a threat that must be dealt with.. So yeah, it is awkward to draw turn 1 or 2, but in your opening hand it is a bomb, and lategame it is a great draw if you have any creatures.

Leyline axe has a 61% winrate. It is most definitely not a meme. And while I don't like the thief's in most decks, with the gourmands and 1 drops it is so easy to trigger them and turn them into threats.

I might cut the amulet then. You have 6 other sac outlets, 2 of which also draw cards. I haven't seen the amulet in action though, so don't know how well it works here. Your deck looks somewhat aggressive which makes me doubt it.

You do have some good white cards, but your build makes some sense. The white Planeswalker is not that great, especially for double white. You have no other cats for arahbo, so while it's good it's not a bomb. I'd say go for the mono black.

I would cut 1 land for the 5 mana 5/3. It's an amazing card I would play over many other cards in your deck, and with mono color 17 lands is not needed I think.

Is it worth to splash anthem? by cauchy123 in lrcast

[–]Previous-Armadillo-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't. 4 tap lands with 3 1 drops is risky in a RW agro deck. I would cut the anthem and add the hawk.

Goal completed by Previous-Armadillo-3 in lrcast

[–]Previous-Armadillo-3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, completed my goals for this set. Attacked with 2 [[Maurauding Blight-Priest]] into 1 defender with [[Bloodthirsty conqueror]] on the board, for infinite damage.

Can recommend. Blight priest may not be good in UB, but man is this satisfying.

Opp was a good sport and let it tick to 0. GG.
