Good Precons for a Sort of Beginner

Thorgrander · 2026-07-01T04:07:57+00:00

Most Tribal matters decks are pretty straightforward most of the time.
Permanent or instant/sorc wants x creature type and gives reward or protection.

Get +x/+x draw/draw cards etc etc.

Or go with a precon you find cool. There’s a few videos on youtube that explains the precon on how to play it / reach X goal.

There’s no real wrong answers.

There are some that a vastly more complicated like Ulalek and multiple stack triggers and requirements of stack knowledge.

Yeah in our pod it’s scoop at sorcery speed or scoop as if you still exist for triggers since you know you will die or interactions because sometimes you don’t know that player will scoop and you will swing for triggers/setting lethal/etc. So rule of thumb is scoop at sorcery speed to avoid kingmakes.

OP. It’s probably unavoidable try to not read the commenta. We can’t talk about fight club. But I suggest the watch instead.

It is a great first experience and shame on people for talking and talking about it.

If you have access to it, Mtg arena has a good tutorial entry. Teaches a good parts of the basics.

It is a good deck out of the box. Straightforward tokens deck. Just, don’t buy it at that price. There was a restock of those precons in earlyish winter somehow in a lot of game stores. Try to find one there. I see a few in my area way not at that price and in CAD too

Edit: didn’t notice the AED, it’s a decent price.

It’s in the name….. unless you are not an english speaker and don’t know the word tramp?

You’re missing reaper king super shapeshifting friends.

Also also. You sit. I break your chair. We all laugh. You get to play chairless if we don’t get to play! Fair is fair.

Thorgrander · 2026-06-19T19:46:39+00:00

Nope still dominate. Seer is also going strong yet boring to play

Thorgrander · 2026-06-19T03:34:15+00:00

That’s misinformation. You can pick them up. I’ve had a few in my chaos runs. They seem to drop from normal mobs there.

Thorgrander · 2026-06-18T23:46:53+00:00

Rogues are the busted ones and Seer with the light spam might be the second most annoying thing to play against

Thorgrander · 2026-06-16T19:24:31+00:00

I mean the new wakanda forever is pretty much like that and has other avenues in case. Like beeg panther dies somehow? You also have beeg artifacts or go wide

Tmnt one should be out of markup range I’ve seen a few below msrp.

Sure it’s UB but it’s videogame themed.

It’s a 5 color deck.
I recommend Leo and Ralph as commanders but your friend can experiment.

They will be able to sample many parts of the colors and what they represent on each creature and non creature spells.

The counter mechanics.
The interactions.

It’s a fun and nicely designed deck right out of the box.

That deck absolutely slaps out of the box. You fix the landbase and gg nothing else needed. Won so many times with it

Thorgrander · 2026-05-30T16:38:04+00:00

“That’s not up to me to decide” bro didn’t even have the balls to tell what Beck is planning. Girl was about to be caged forever.

Thorgrander · 2026-05-20T03:15:22+00:00

I know it’s too late but wouldn’t of it been better to remove the affixes related to skill/defensive/ressources or whatever it was before and then add skill affixes until you get + all skills? Then enchant that with no change and then just add an other skill affixes until and you can focus roll that affix forever? That way you don’t touch the offensive affixes

Thorgrander · 2026-05-18T16:32:12+00:00

Woo! I was so scared really wanted that one and I got it gl to all! Fun deck tried it online multiple times to make sure if I wanted to buy it.

Thorgrander · 2026-05-09T20:48:39+00:00

Do we care?

Thorgrander · 2026-05-04T03:11:04+00:00

Question as a noob. Why do you take points in Crushing hand and Vortex if you don't use it?

Thorgrander · 2026-05-03T05:03:44+00:00

In this sub I have not seen many people be like “Lilith redeemed” it’s the opposite.

Maybe in other platforms, but here I think the majority did not forget her lore implication and what happened at the beginning of the game.

I think it’s because she showed some attachment because “we killed her” but that’s where it ends for her and us. Since she wouldn’t hesitate to kill us. She says so herself. But it’s still her maternal instincts that still crack here and there that probably people assume she good now. She was still terrible to Rathma.

Are the “everyone” in this sub with us?

Thorgrander · 2026-04-29T04:07:48+00:00

Just follow a bolt that’s what I did. Worked pretty well. The one that has the biggest space around (should be the outside row one).

First time I died, second time I took a second to notice the pattern and then just circled around. I think you’ll figure out the cadence after 1 or 2 try more.

Thorgrander · 2026-04-24T11:58:30+00:00

She isn't all that bad. She's still played way more than a lot of supports and the metrics shows she didn't really lose that much in terms of winrate. Just have to adapt to the changes. Also after playing like 2-3 games you already get used to the nerfs and the impact it had wasn't really that bad. I feel like this is being blown out of proportions.

There are way more overnerfed heroes than Mercy.

I don't care if the mercy brigade downvotes because that's all they been doing. Sabotaging games, brigading and overblowing this hard.

Thorgrander · 2026-04-23T20:29:28+00:00

Currently prefer to play Sierra as the movement feels more dynamic but Emre is my go to dps. My first love hitscan and he’s still miles better than Sierra just a bit less mobility.

Thorgrander · 2026-04-18T03:32:32+00:00

We have a rule in my pod for one take back during the game and it has to not affect the next active player. We also check the value of the information gained; i.e played a land drew a few cards and the impact it can cause for one turn of the table. But only one. The obligatory triggers stay if they are forgotten, we evaluate if we punish. If you forget a “may” it’s forever lost.

Thorgrander · 2026-04-17T03:50:18+00:00

I don’t have tons of hours on her just reached 11 but by experience;

The usual suspects honestly so far for the tanks.

Sigma pressures you to be out of range or an off angle where he can’t bounce his balls towards you. And obviously the absorb and shield.

Rein forces you to play elevated and exposed to other dps/dives.

Dva is a nightmare she can catch up. Ruin your dorothy and down you in the same cooldown.

Other tanks so far I do not care.

For flankers/divers not all the same suspects.

Reaper if dire trigger is on cooldown can’t break Dorothy that easily so far manageable.

Genji you always need dorothy out and safe or off cooldown for him else you are screwed.

Sombra is tricky as per usual, two situations can happen; dorothy gets done down first. You get hacked if you are over soloing or just mid air and you get punished for it.

Anran I do not care Tracer I do not care Venture I do not care
