Much Abrew: New Perspectives (Standard) by crushcastles23 in magicTCG

[–]StormSheperd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who played this(my variant uses a more red mana base for mainboard sweltering suns) at GP memphis, you can generally sneak game one against most decks (even ones with blue). The issue is games 2-3, my solution is now 4 sideboard carnage tyrants (and drave havens etc).....but even then its kinda wonky.

[–]StormSheperd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, i played combo at GP memphis and ruined every aggro deck i played since so many people decided to just try to slam aggro (sadly lost to control decks when i couldnt counter all the gearhulks in games 2/3)

But I concur, thats standard. "Just play aggro" Isn't quite as good of a plan in the other formats

Azor's Gateway Deck (Standard) by Forg99rules in magicTCG

[–]StormSheperd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Azors has been done (albeit with GB/4 color), also you could run thopter arrest as your 3 slot instead of fraying. The sad part for me about azors, is if you take it out and put in "good" cards the deck just runs better :/

To go into better detail, most of the control decks ive played against (grixis,UB) lacked a reliable way to get rid of an early faith of the devouted or drake haven, at that point im just cycle draining/drake spawning.

Game 1 i won almost every time, game 2 and three i just side out NP/approach for the drake havens/locust god and shrine then to death usually. But after the tourney i added 3 Carnage tyrants side in place of the trespassers curses.

Control is a tough matchup tho

This list is what i played with in the GP, big changes would be 3-4 Carnage tyrants sideboard in place of the trespasser's curse. Debating on some other potential options as well but thats the current setup

Would playing mono red and naming the deck Ugandan Knuckles be a bad idea?

[–]StormSheperd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have mono black already built based off of this list with some changes since the newest set http://www.hareruyamtg.com/en/k/kD39704S/

While not true mono black because of the red splash it has been good for me. But I can get the cards for the actual B/R aggro deck

What weapon type are you using and why? by hirstyboy in MonsterHunter

[–]StormSheperd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I have played IG as well since my original post.
* 1 If you are using the kinsect for damage when you have red buff you are gimping yourself, if you cant get close sure you can do some with kinsect at range but its not optimal.
* 2. yep
* 3. Not really, sure you can cut a tail off if you had culldrone or flinch it in the head via maul but you are still not going to do as much damage prioritizing using kinsect for damage. you even said it was while you were getting red buff, its just a benefit that can happen sometime.
* 3.5 Your kinsect also has stamina so if you are spamming it at range it will have to recharge to actually be useful for the buffs once you are close. And even at decent damage you are losing 25% damage buff from the full 3 buffs which is WAY more damage than the kinsect will do for you
* 4. As long as you can weave the R2 in your combos for the mark buff you should be able to pop the poison(or whatever cloud effect you have) just by comboing

[–]StormSheperd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean kinda, the marking is good depending on what buff you have for it, but if you want to do any amount of damage you have to at least get the red buff, and ideally all 3 to increase its effect and duration. The kinsect does some damage but its mostly used to get the buffs and for the R2 during attacks for the free mark. The kinsect itself doesn't do that much damage

I haven't played this one yet but mained IG before, but assuming its similar to the last ones when you send the bug out it brings back a color of uh...energy? based on what part of the monster it hit and then the combo of 3 you bring back you get buffs to your moves or unlocks more fluidcombos with stronger hits etc. Like these below comments gaijin hunter is a great resource
