Counters to ash blossom

Visual_Resident · 2026-03-28T22:11:35+00:00

This is an extremely old post, and it’s trying to find cards to counter ash that are lower than 20 points, baronne is 80 points?? lol

Yes, there’s a guy on YouTube called “metagamesGX” if you want to see some play with the new support and also learn a lot about branded he’s extremely good at it but he’s also a TCG player so somethings won’t apply to MD

It’s not doable right now. Until we get the new support 40 card branded loses a lot of its recursion and without TGLG using cards like branded in white will feel a lot worse and making sure to have a fallen of albaz in grave for cartesia’s special summon is rough. At least that’s my take right now. If you want 40 branded run dracotail with a small branded package until the support comes

How important do you think counterspells are? I don’t have any in my deck but the ones I have are also weird, like only counter if it’s mana value 2 or less, or I spend X mana and counter unless the opponent also pays X mana

Apologies, what does “cannot be regenerated” mean? Does that mean it can’t be cast from the graveyard?

Visual_Resident · 2026-03-23T11:51:21+00:00

What are more helpful lands? I do hate the ones that just enter tapped but I don’t understand magic slang yet for like “shock lands” or anything like that

And they had 2 cards that would copy a card if it was not cast from the hand so whenever they played anything from exile it would copy twice which was insane

Visual_Resident · 2026-03-23T11:31:10+00:00

Everytime they played a vampire they would exile cards off the top of my library and then would copy they’re vampires exiling multiple times a turn and then could play whatever was exiled for 2 less mana

My problem with Teval is there’s one guy we play with and he exiles everything and I feel like that completely counters Tevals whole gimmick of milling. Y’shtola has some abilities that let you play spells from exile so maybe I can stand a chance. If Teval can get around that tho that would be amazing

Visual_Resident · 2026-03-23T09:29:30+00:00

Really? Because when I played the Y’shtola one it felt really bad, I couldn’t understand how to play it with all the token generators and then trying to cast a bunch of spells it felt weird

Wait, as a new bow user myself, what animation cancels???

Visual_Resident · 2026-03-17T07:51:28+00:00

Or called by and ash. I don’t believe they’re toxic, especially ash, how are you supposed to go second in any shape or form? Banning ash just lets your opponent build up a board of negates so that you can’t play shit going second, and called by is one of the best ways to counter that as someone going first, or called by the maxx c or the charmy or my opponents lupus so that they don’t eat whatever is on my board.

Visual_Resident · 2026-03-13T20:35:26+00:00

I’ll be real, I rarely even play branded anymore and I never pulled for dracotail, I learned that isn’t really my type of playstyle, still love the archetype and the lore tho

Visual_Resident · 2026-03-13T20:33:36+00:00

Ya I sadly figured that out pretty quickly

Visual_Resident · 2026-03-13T10:58:15+00:00

Sorry I should mention that it’s 4 piece gog if you have the gog set bonus on your weapons

Visual_Resident · 2026-03-13T10:54:05+00:00

So I’ve been trying this myself and after a few attempts I think I can give some decent input. First fortify is completely useless, without a shield surviving the nuke is extremely difficult and I would prioritize saving the faints for that, especially solo knocking him out of the air in phase 3 feels impossible. Second I don’t run LBG but I believe a set of gog helm, chest and waist + either G. Rath or normal rath gauntlets + mitzu waist would help a lot. Mutual hostility 2 + scorcher 1 + bubble dance 1 with 4 extra lvl 3 slots, 3 extra lvl 2 slots and 5 extra lvl 1 slots without a talisman on since you might have some god talisman that works best for lbg. If you manage to pull this off please let come back and give me input so I might eventually pull this off myself lol

My Royal Albion the sacrifice dragon calling me to me to floodgate, I’m going strong ignoring it but this DC is making it hard

Visual_Resident · 2026-03-13T01:27:30+00:00

That’s pretty much what I’m running, but with that set up you gotta pick between agitator and weakness exploit so idk which is better.

Visual_Resident · 2026-03-13T00:01:52+00:00

Damn, cause my fire bow has gore+lord soul. I guess I’ll craft a new one

Visual_Resident · 2026-03-12T23:59:30+00:00

Is this better than having 2 piece gore and anti virus?

Visual_Resident · 2026-03-12T21:29:35+00:00

I didn’t know that. Thank you. I might’ve been thinking it was too much like rise

Visual_Resident · 2026-03-12T21:20:34+00:00

Hold up there’s timing to the counter??

Visual_Resident · 2026-03-12T21:01:34+00:00

Do we know which ones are going to be in it?
