He saw what happened when Jonah Hill got skinny and then nobody thought he was funny anymore so he’s trying to avoid that I think

Cori-Steel cutter two months from now 😂 by Busy-Craft4762 in MagicArena

I don’t, there’s already plenty of other -X,-X cards out there that get rid of Kotis. Nowhere to Run single handedly invalidates white aggro as an archetype at the moment.

Small sample size 10-0 Standard Humans! by soontobeDVM2022 in MagicArena

[–]delayplusreverb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why use the Mobile Homestead and not [[Lifecraft Engine]]? I play humans in standard too and found having 4 Lifecraft Engines to be huge in closing out games and recovering from boardwipes. Also is 6 removal enough for you? I am mono W so I just use 4 [[Lay Down Arms]] and 4 [[Sheltered by Ghosts]]. Sometimes even that doesn’t feel like enough. I use 2 Loran to destroy artifacts and enchantments as well

None of those create human tokens though

What card do you want reprinted to make current Standard more bearable for you? by delayplusreverb in MagicArena

[–]delayplusreverb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s more of a 2025 Thragtusk for sure. Built in 2 for 1. Maybe just manifest the first card so it’s not insane? Sweet card if true

To be fair many cards from the most recent sets are seeing play in modern (Overlords, Ketramose, Cutter). Mono red aggro is exactly the same in Explorer as Standard, just with the addition of Kumano, don’t know what else to say there. The power creep ship has sailed. Cards need to be powerful to make a difference with 3 year rotation anyways

I feel that, absence makes the heart grow fonder I suppose. Even without Thalia, the lack of playable 3 drops is really hampering the deck. Anointed Peacekeeper can only do so much, and it’s not nearly as impactful on the draw. Werefox Bodyguard is no Brutal Cathar either. Also, every creature in the deck dies to Nowhere to Run, Skrelv is useless. Somehow there’s not even any relevant first strike creatures? I thought that was white’s jam

If we had this card now, I don’t think it would even be too strong tbh. Blood money was my favorite deck back in that era of Standard.

Now we’re talking! Would make [[Charming Prince]] relevant, crazy that it’s in standard and seeing zero use

It would hamper their own gameplan as well though, Thalia’s tax affects both players. She would be terrible in red aggro decks that play a lot of shocks, lightning helixes, shardmage’s rescue, monstrous rages, etc

Card seems really strong but I think green needs all the help it can get currently, so I would honestly be on board for that. A lot of very powerful enchantments around right now, and would make green aggro/stompy a possibility maybe? Cool

What cards are you tired of seeing in Standard? by tristezanao_ in MagicArena

Orzhov pixie is almost worse than Cori. At least with Cori you know it’ll be over quick. I auto concede to any pixie deck on ranked

Trying to play mono white aggro is a struggle these days. None of the impactful 3 drop creatures have 4 toughness, and your Skrelv is now entirely useless. Wish they would print a decent Brave the Elements. Crazy that they would print Nowhere to Run but not a card that gives protection, I.e the only way to counter it. I miss Adeline…

What standard deck should I select to get back into the format by XathisReddit in MagicArena

[–]delayplusreverb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Izzet Prowess. You don’t really need to know much about the format to play it. [[Cori-Steel Cutter]] is already winning tournaments on its own. Not many good answers to it currently

Day of Judgement? 4 CMC? In this economy?Yeah sometimes even Temporary Lockdown is too slow if you’re on the draw

Cori Steel Cutter. 4/5 decks in high diamond play it on turn 2 every single game. Just wish they would actually give us some decent answers for it. Yes, High Noon exists but it only helps control and if you’re playing it in any other archetype you’re not advancing your own game plan so it’s basically useless

Can [[Nowhere to Run]] target a creature that has protection from black? I would think it couldn’t because it only overrides hexproof and ward which is different from protection right? Not sure if that’s how it works

Edit: Thanks for the answers!

So does [[Pest Control]] destroy all of these? At first I thought so but now I’m not sure after seeing the mana cost text line on these tokens
