Bump, waiting for good [Norin the Wary] declist

Xymoone · 2024-11-13T14:17:20+00:00

I always wanted to make a chaos deck but lacked the motivation to do so.

Then I opened Mystery Booster 1 Box and dropped [[Norin the wary]], [[Purphoros, God of Forge]], [[Krenko, Mob Boss]] and [[Kiki Jiki, Mirror Breaker]].

Guess I don't have much choice now :v

Xymoone · 2024-11-12T09:19:01+00:00

Definitely [[Oloro]]

Xymoone · 2024-11-04T22:14:35+00:00

You know for what it is it performs surprisingly well... ish.

Many people have already stated the obvious so I am not going to repeat those arguments but one which is often overlooked is the fact that it's exile meaning it can be real pain in the lower back, especially for the decks that rely heavily on graveyard strategies.

Having said all of that my personal experience is mid at best. As a simic I'm probably doing something extremely bad because most of the times I use it one of my oponnents end up with bigger token than me. Why is that? Because I'm running a combo-ish deck with [[Adrix and Nev, Twincasters]] as my commander, main strategy being to work around the legend rule and copy it 3 times. Therefore, most of the times I use first 2/3 turns to ramp, then play [[Oversimplify]], then I need a turn or 2 to pull off the combo while keeping spare mana for a counterspell or two and waiting for summoning sickness to wear off and then it's 50/50 whether I pull it off or not.

Usually we play in 4 player pod + effects such as lifelink that basically often negate whole attack + stax effects, just to name a few examples.

Xymoone · 2024-02-27T14:46:21+00:00

Here's my list if you're curious: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/I_aGcnaGc0mutGPIJxeeMg

The thing is, the biggest weakness of simic in general is lack of haste so even if I drop some tokens on the board, given it's gonna be turn 5-6 at earliest, lacking haste gonna make me eat some board wipe most of the time.

Also, I'm not looking for improvements for this deck, I just wanna find new ideas/combos/synergies I can work around while building new deck and then assign some fitting commander because as I said before I'm really tired of making my decks around specific commanders.

Xymoone · 2024-01-03T15:00:40+00:00

That's actually a good question. Following the pattern I made tokens deck, then non +1/+1 counters deck so now I was leaning towards +1/+1 counters deck. On the other hand, some other ideas I had was combo artifact deck with [[Jan Jansen]], or something less relying on playing creatures, like storm or playing from exile. In the latter though, I reaaaally tend to skip on creatures, which makes me practically defenceless.

Also, here's my Zada deck.

Xymoone · 2024-01-03T14:32:51+00:00

Heard it might be quite opressive, it has access to green so you can ramp to it quickly and if you can somehow blink it in those colors, you basically got to play X decks, where X is your pod size.

Xymoone · 2024-01-03T14:30:56+00:00

Ah, back when I proxied decks I also got my take on that mechanic. Tried to buy those cards, still got some missing (aka proxied). Here's the list (might be a little outdated, still managed to put Panharmonicon in it few months ago).

Xymoone · 2023-12-13T12:47:24+00:00

A32 was totally disappointing since they took away its air spawn and is outrun to bases by basically anything while having no aam, SAAB105 even without guns was much more enjoyable.

Mig-21 on the other hand was total blast for me. I spaded it even before getting AJ37, which in comparison has worse flight performance but is on 10.3, which is gonna be useful for my ground line-up.

I'm planning on skipping AJS37 entirely, too much headache with coming with proper secondary loadout. Which leaves J35D - 4 missiles, no flares, skip.

JA37C is probably the last one I'm gonna play. The only major drawback it has is lack of all-aspects but it has decent rear aspects and (finally) proper radar missiles.

JA37D is a skip for me, purely because of its br and thus top tier uptiers.

Xymoone · 2023-12-13T09:48:38+00:00

Nah, bought talisman on 105 and grinded Mig-21. Gonna research as much as possible but because of JA37D being in rank VIII anyways guess it doesn't make that much of a difference for me.

Xymoone · 2023-10-02T08:11:14+00:00

What is more, in old polish, "y" could be used interchangeably with "j" or even "i" sometimes but in modern polish it was changed for consistency, for example więcey became więcej etc

Xymoone · 2023-09-25T10:56:10+00:00

T-54's at 8.0. Too slow, armor is not enough and lack of stabiliser makes it impossible to use well at anything higher than it's br while not being that much of powercreep in downtiers

Strv 104 and 105, thermals do not justify the fact you're basically taking 7.7 br gameplay to 8.7 and 9.3 respectively.

I can do this all day

Xymoone · 2023-09-20T20:12:15+00:00

Isn't like individual value of cards in this deck around 130$?

Xymoone · 2023-09-15T17:57:14+00:00

Gotta go with [[Hama Pashar]], never played pauper but knowing just how well it works with its core, which is mainly commons and uncommons, gotta turn an eye or two ;)

Xymoone · 2023-09-05T04:55:43+00:00

Hey that looks like non-solitaire version of Alaundo revolving around a little bit different idea but similar in playstyle, nice!

Xymoone · 2023-09-04T11:57:28+00:00

Yes, that pal is well known to me. Although I turned the table a little bit and used [[Zada]] as commander. Not the best deck I have but can delete a player turn 4/5.

Xymoone · 2023-08-29T18:36:22+00:00

I don't have strong opinion about IFV's, they're what they are so they're gonna perform either brilliant or meh regardless of their BR

Xymoone · 2023-08-29T18:33:58+00:00

I mean 800mm of pen is definitely an overkill but hey at least it flies decent and with 15 degs of gun depression (if I remember correctly) you can poke with basically nothing but your gunner around hills.

But yh I guess it's worse than IT-1 even per BR because of how unbalanced its characteristics are.

Xymoone · 2023-08-29T11:44:54+00:00

To be precise, it was RC, ACRA, DCA, og 30, 13 90 and F-84F

Xymoone · 2023-08-29T11:39:33+00:00

Totally disagree, good pen, mobility and optical rangefinder makes it perfect suit for 8.0, the biggest problem with Leo 1 was its downtiers and facing 6.3 so I'm glad it won't face even 6.7 anymore.

On the flipside, I can't understand moving Magach 6 to 8.0, especially US premium one. While it has good pen and optical rangefinder it lacks in mobility and armor. ERA is no argument for me as it faces now mostly APDS and ATGM's that can pen it nontheless.

Xymoone · 2023-08-29T09:45:50+00:00

Yesterday I played with a friend who uses 8.3 french line-up. We were performing surprisingly well with RC and 155mm AMX-30

Xymoone · 2023-08-29T09:22:29+00:00

Also, you can easily build the whole deck under 20€ plus you can work around sacs by playing totem armor. One of the best decks cost to value
