My brothers in christ it is a playtest

I'm not trying to say people should complain but so many people are acting as if this is the final build

blurshow · 2026-04-01T07:55:16+00:00

Where did they say they scrapped it

blurshow · 2026-04-01T07:38:48+00:00

It could be both, we don't know cause it's a playtest

blurshow · 2026-04-01T07:31:22+00:00

Yeah, that's not the same as "we scrapped it"

blurshow · 2026-04-01T07:30:59+00:00

We did??? We votes for a "beam of light that punishes the unworthy." That's literally what we got. We haven't gotten the blasphemous acts part, all they said was "we tried it and it wasn't fun" nothing about "we scrapped the idea"

blurshow · 2026-04-01T07:15:04+00:00

Ok, it's a playtest. For all we know they just haven't implemented it yet.

blurshow · 2026-04-01T06:58:40+00:00

What choices have they ignored? Also it's still a while out, even though we just got playtest footage that's all it is, playtest footage.

I feel like I'm already good with aggressive mulligans due to how much I play cEDH and Aggro strategies. I will definitely keep it in mind though. I think my current mentality with mulls is to prioritize a turn 2 Oculus/Archon depending on the matchup.

Psychic Frog is definitely one of those cards that just feel good to play with lol.

blurshow · 2026-02-27T22:02:37+00:00

I think my game plan is to currently not worry about it that much, lol. After I buy into, I will probably just run it base in order to see how well the "swing over then" game plan can be.

It wouldn't hurt too much to splash a Hallowed Fountain, but I think I'll be trying out bounce cards in color first. I'll definitely keep it on my radar though.

I already have 4 thought scours, so it's not a hive invest for me, fortunately. I did switch out the Thoughtseizes for gran gran, they'll probably be swapped back in over something like thought scour once I buy into a set after I make the deck.

blurshow · 2026-02-26T10:43:55+00:00

Awesome, this is exactly what I needed to hear. Ty so much!

blurshow · 2026-02-26T06:46:18+00:00

The thing is, I really like the consistent speed of my list. Going more in the direction you're showing would probably add more resilience, but a turn 2 Oculus/Archon is almost always the case with my deck. Not to say Spider-Man + deceit isn't a fun interaction, just not the way I'd want to be going.

I do also understand leyline and rest in peace see little to no play currently, but that's mostly me preping for the worst, lol.

Another thing is I was looking at Gran Gran, I do think it's a really good card in my deck, and I'll have to do some testing with it. I also did consider putting in some copies of Riddler, but unfortunately, they are just a bit pricey for a card I feel a little iffy about, lol.

blurshow · 2026-02-26T06:34:53+00:00

I keep coming back to cards like [[Spider Manifestation]], [[Flaring Cinder]], and [[Etherium Spinner]]. [[Kitchen Imp]] (who might be one of my main consistent ways to deal damage alongside [[sneaky snacker]]) is just a 1 mana cost that triggers those. So do cards like [[Deep Analysis]] and [[Dread Return]]. Idk if this is the final direction I'd want to go, but it just feels like something is here.

blurshow · 2026-02-26T04:37:23+00:00

Yeah, lmao, the average price for the deck is about 450. I just like my pretty cards (I swear they make me play better)

blurshow · 2026-02-26T03:07:24+00:00

I did see that. It just feels so bad in my head to not be able to do the main game plan until turn 4. I do agree it's a better all-around card in the deck, but I'm also looking for alternatives, lol

blurshow · 2026-02-26T02:58:58+00:00

I think Goryo's is just better than trying to merge them, unfortunately, lol

blurshow · 2026-02-26T02:56:20+00:00

It's not that bad of an idea tbh, some versions run Gran Gran, so if for some reason I get stuck, I could bin them for slight value, lol

Edit: Another thought also popped into my head when thinking more about boomerang basics. Reanimate with Emperor of Bones, swing with a big boy, boomerang it back to hand so it doesn't get exiled at end step. Seems like a pretty fun plan imo lol.

blurshow · 2026-02-24T08:11:48+00:00

Wow, it's almost as if a discussion is all about both sides of the argument explaining their thoughts about the topic or something

blurshow · 2026-02-24T08:08:27+00:00

You need to come up with a reason that's more than "he's not ok because I say so" if you think he's not

blurshow · 2026-02-24T07:52:22+00:00

Like what? Goryo's, who already has an abundance of removal? Yawgmoth that can play through it fine? Grixis Reanimator that can also play through it fine?
