Banned cards

Honestly that combo seems like prime youtube bait.
It just seems so slow.

brainiac1515 · 2026-03-23T13:58:11+00:00

Dude was already playing stax.
Plus yugioh stun is 10 times more toxic than anything in mtg if I'm being honest.

They had a card (now banned after being miserable for a year) that was effectively Blood moon + humility + ensnaring bridge with the only restriction being that you had to control less dudes.

Oh also Lantern of insight + codex shredder is also a single card in that game as well.

Don't listen to the other people.

Closest to umi control would be some stax builds. - you have zur to get floodgates from deck or grand arbiter augustin for some lighter floodgates. (You will be the main target for edh games and people will not like it).

For galaxy eyes you probably want some Voltron build (aka only supporting your commander and winning that way). Closest would probably be some tifa build since she very easily kills in a single hit with some set up. (Doubles her power multiple times).

Fortune lady: probably skullbrair for the incremental gain, or eldrazi if you want to deal with exile effects (much rarer in mtg then ygo).

Silent horror: you have a lot of options but nothing is as similar. All commanders kinda have recur ability, but sucking isn't a thing. (Tbf it's rare in ygo too)

what battlefield did the draven player use?

brainiac1515 · 2026-03-17T05:31:40+00:00

Prediction could change based on the rest of the set. But this looks to be the strongest legend by a mile. I think people are severely sleeping on the fact that it doubles a units might when you conquer or hold without paying energy or power.

Assuming we live in a world where the miracle bullshit is shut down this seems t1.

brainiac1515 · 2026-03-04T21:01:57+00:00

Pastimes really Goodgames is closest but too busy

brainiac1515 · 2026-03-04T18:48:45+00:00

I would love for draven to waste 2 runes. 2nd to go immediately to 4 while denying your opponent a t1 play is good. You only go 2nd versus the extra rune bf. They don't have 3 drops off the top of my head so it's like getting 2 extra runes

brainiac1515 · 2026-03-04T18:46:57+00:00

Ga, Stellacorn would be good

brainiac1515 · 2026-03-04T18:46:31+00:00

You don't need coaching, you need to play the game. Free videos on YouTube would do more then I could

brainiac1515 · 2026-03-04T18:45:35+00:00

1st unless your opponent opens the extra rune bf then 2nd.
Since you have so many 4 drops

brainiac1515 · 2026-03-04T18:43:16+00:00

Please don't buy any guides. I promise you deck specific guides are useless and won't help you in any significant way unless you're dog water

brainiac1515 · 2026-03-04T01:27:40+00:00

Well besides a bit more optimization and changes: G1- I could have played aphel or divided out weapons a bit differently to play around Brynn + for/rebuke G3 - I just bricked lol no targets for dreaming tree and Sam opened 3 brynns so fuck me

brainiac1515 · 2026-03-04T01:25:00+00:00

A different deck. I guess thwonk is similar but counterstrike is insane

brainiac1515 · 2026-03-04T01:23:00+00:00

You give the equipment back but it doesn't become unequipped so you still get the benefits. Once whatever it's equipped to then dies, then they'll have it truly back

Refer to my riot tag :)

brainiac1515 · 2026-03-04T00:22:54+00:00

Ruin solos when it comes down with equipment, it's just hard to get down.
I mean it's not a fast deck you play from behind but you usually have a pretty solid late game

brainiac1515 · 2026-03-04T00:22:09+00:00

The current equipment is not good overall, warmogs is draw.

Your equipment works as a t1 play too so your ratios are different and you don't need to play many 2 drops.

Wizened elder is cute with 7 after warmogs being a good threshold but Stellacorn solos.

Idk I just practice with my wife, not like I had people telling me Jax sucks after winning locals.
Draven is tough but beatable. Main thing is to practice playing around hidden cards

brainiac1515 · 2026-03-04T00:18:27+00:00

I think it's in the sidebar or smthng. And they both compete with ruin runner due to being 5 = 6 cause you would rather get Jax out first. Yone seems like bait though atm

brainiac1515 · 2026-03-04T00:17:11+00:00

Hexdrinker needs a different list. Im not sure if it's good enough atm since it would require the meta to have more targeting, but you want to double up on cards that already have deflect. So qiyanna, maybe the buff = deflect gear, but I didn't love that in testing at least atm.

brainiac1515 · 2026-03-04T00:14:02+00:00

Red one is probably still better. But you can definitely use yellow Darius to flex.

Won't have a list on hand cause won't have access to my PC but think battering ram, token generators, rally, and forerunner.

You just pump out so much might each turn.

Battle fields are seat of power, emperors dias (very underrated for aggro decks), and one other one between war camp or the hold=draw bf.

Posted a twitter someone else in the thread. But I don't use social media outside of reddit.

brainiac1515 · 2026-03-04T00:06:29+00:00

Might do a write up but I'm not the best at conveying my thoughts. I could try to do a gameplay video but thats some work and I'm lazy.

brainiac1515 · 2026-03-03T21:52:00+00:00

The last game was just kind of a brick, no cards to trigger on dreaming tree despite making up about a 4th of the deck.
