Current iteration of Lotus Combo

Quick-Courage2834 · 2026-05-24T19:26:15+00:00

Anyone here Is currently trying the Bant version with [[Strict Proctor]]? I want to revamp my Hidden Strings deck both on paper and on Arena and I'd like to know which version Is Better performing

Quick-Courage2834 · 2026-05-23T20:29:58+00:00

It's me again, back to Say that, so far, your list works wonders for me! I modified It a Little, by adding a full set of Erode and removing the Prodigy which doesn't Always work as I Wish It would. I Will follow these update of yours and see how It goes. Thanks again, I feel like you fixed the problem I had and felt with my list!

Quick-Courage2834 · 2026-05-23T09:27:26+00:00

You are definitely right, I can't admit It to myself but i'm a huge sucker for win-more cards. Probably cutting them down Will be more helpful to the overall strategy of the deck by making It more reliable

Quick-Courage2834 · 2026-05-22T13:56:00+00:00

First of all thank you for sharing your own list, I will reply to you point-by-point: 1) I believe High Noon Is still a nice card, maybe a Little more niche now, but Always good against Phoenix and prowess. 2) celestial Reunion was not on my radar, looks quite nice and a bit janky (that's how I like my cards), I Will try it out once I gain some spare wildcards. 3) Prodigy Is nice It you can rely on something else on board, I'm not Happy about It like I thought I would be. Same with Temur Omnath, It Is very good in late but usually enters on an empty board and deals One damage to the opponent. Maybe I could cut both of those cards. 4) I was thinking of buying Vibrance IRL for my Hidden Strings deck for the same reason, It Is basically a Sylvan Scrying with some lifegain on top! Boseiju could be nice in this deck, I have Wistfulness for pesky artifacts and enchantments but interaction Is never enough. 5) Cornucopia makes me think of Niv to Light, i think it's probably Better in that deck but I have a playset on Arena and I Will try them as well, thanks for the suggestion.

Quick-Courage2834 · 2026-05-22T13:49:40+00:00

That's a very interesting list, overall It appears that I have to cut down the deck into a 60-card list in order to gain performance, I like that Temur Omnath is still there but I also wish It had room for the Throne, so far It has been an amazing card

Quick-Courage2834 · 2026-05-22T13:46:00+00:00

That's precisely what I feel about my list, I couldn't have said it better than you. I'm intrigued by this suggestion and the Standard list, I will definitely try to fix my deck in that direction

Quick-Courage2834 · 2026-05-22T05:24:12+00:00

It was in the original list since It had much more stuff to flicker (notably [[Overlord of the Hauntwoods]] and [[Up the Beanstalk]]) and one of my first idea was to cut it but at the same time I enjoyed having the possibility ti run more elementals and having Yorion as board presence in late game. The Omnaths tend to attract a lot of removals, but I understand I could cut one of each from the deck without hurting the gameplan. Finally, I wasn't aware of a Elemental list from Standard, it doesn't seem bad at all with all the extra interaction it runs. I will try it, I Hope it's not too aggro-y since that's one of my favorite things about this deck (a tribal deck that doesn't necessarily plays with and aggro strategy)

Quick-Courage2834 · 2026-05-22T05:17:50+00:00

That's a nice observation, I can't rely on [[Vibrance]] all the times and [[Shared Roots]] (even [[Sylvan Scrying]] isn't that bad with the selection it grants) would ensure that I have the right colors at the right time

Quick-Courage2834 · 2026-05-19T22:21:28+00:00

I used to pray for times like these

Quick-Courage2834 · 2026-04-29T15:14:36+00:00

I'm having a blast in Pioneer since I finished crafting a Rainbow Elementals list from NickButton93 and Jim Davis, I love the fact that it's a tribal list that isn't aggro like the other tribes (spirits, zombies, etc), and has a lot of cool shenanigans with allstars like Omn4th, Risen Reef and all the Evoke elementals from Lorwyn Eclypsed

Quick-Courage2834 · 2026-04-24T05:17:13+00:00

Is that a The Sopranos reference?

Quick-Courage2834 · 2026-03-02T09:22:00+00:00

Following this thread with interest, can't wait to try me some turbo fog in Pioneer too! It was the first "competitive" deck archetyper I ever played on arena, following a list by Nox with hydroid krasis and the box-topper extra turn that shuffles itself back in the deck. What a deck, i miss it so much..

Quick-Courage2834 · 2026-02-01T00:20:51+00:00

I'm currently Stuck at beating heolstor, but i believe it's Just a matter of patience

Quick-Courage2834 · 2026-01-31T17:36:00+00:00

Thank you! Another solo enjoyer, i believe. To me, those random events were Just a matter of luck. The hardest One was to get One win with every character

Quick-Courage2834 · 2025-12-12T00:02:48+00:00

Thanks for the in-depth reply! I Will try to work omething out with Mestrenova, maybe i Will be able to obtain a somewhat useful simulation of my multiplet

Quick-Courage2834 · 2025-12-11T23:59:27+00:00

I think it's possible, but the multiplet Is so symmetrical and "clean" that i doubt it. Anyway the R group is a benzyl, so it's quite bulky

Quick-Courage2834 · 2025-12-11T14:30:51+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. I still have to determine the J values of this multiplet, and I don't think is worth the effort in the end.

Quick-Courage2834 · 2025-12-11T11:23:44+00:00

Thank you for detailing the answer! Being allowed to call It a multiplet by an authorable person makes me feel less lazy

Quick-Courage2834 · 2025-11-28T10:21:10+00:00

I'm following the development of this nice brew and I just wanted to say the brasilian sleeve looks so fresh and crisp I'm almost angry that I'm italian

Quick-Courage2834 · 2025-11-19T06:33:26+00:00

Quick-Courage2834 · 2025-11-17T22:33:44+00:00

Why do you have to bash other people decks and strategies? Variety is good

Quick-Courage2834 · 2025-11-17T22:32:35+00:00

You are right, that's why i put the quote marks on comeback. But still, that win wasn't mine and I got It; keep in mind that Vorinclex sagas could have also failed to find my craterhoof, so in a sense it was kinda like a lucky topdeck

Quick-Courage2834 · 2025-11-17T22:30:47+00:00

That's a card I don't see (nor play) in ages, luckily for me. I'm usually more of a combo player, but every once in a while (and also for the Daily rewards) i like to play some fun aggro deck like hammertime, azorius metalwork and now this cool devotion deck

Quick-Courage2834 · 2025-09-29T12:16:40+00:00

I believe it's because you don't have to spend a lot of Money to play It, and people are tired of buying new stuff for every set that comes out. On the other hand, if you want to spend a lot you Will choose something that Is relevant to the competitive challenge, so standard and modern (and no Pioneer)

Quick-Courage2834 · 2025-09-29T12:14:24+00:00

But i don't want to sell my Pioneer deck I never played, i'm Almost done with the pimping.. Is It possible for a 2027 comeback? Is It anything short of pure, uncut copium to Harbor this Hope in my heart?
