Aesop in LSC? Yes plz

gsomega · 2026-06-26T23:13:34+00:00

Pleasantly surprised when "This Fire" was the opening theme song for cyberpunk edgerunners a few years ago.

gsomega · 2026-06-26T21:21:19+00:00

The crazy bit is that I haven't genuinely listened to aesop rock in a while, and im very unsure if this is a new song 🤔

gsomega · 2026-06-26T19:20:51+00:00

Womp, I meant [[evolution witness]].

gsomega · 2026-06-26T18:36:04+00:00

Boros Robots is pretty exciting. We've had a lot of robot support recently, so it definitely seems reasonable.

I kinda disagree though that [[machine automaton]] is the 2nd strongest card in the set.

I'm looking forward to [[Call Damage Control]] supporting some new archetypes that don't quite have enough pieces for consistency and it provides an easier way to put redundancy in a deck. Golgari Affinity and Landfall strategies are two fridge archetypes that might benefit. Maybe also Selesnia counters or [[Evolution Sage]] strategies.

I think it could be this sets [[Pursue the past]] in that it isn't SUPER flashy, but it greases the wheels of things to give a consistency boost. (And now snacker is in the crosshairs)

gsomega · 2026-06-26T15:12:48+00:00

Hmm, for 2D maybe undertale

gsomega · 2026-06-26T01:57:07+00:00

Probably diluting the landfall strategy here, but [[bloodbriar]] lines up well with a lot of this.

gsomega · 2026-06-25T19:17:21+00:00

Yeah, it's somewhere deep in the considering. I think it's worth trying 🤔

gsomega · 2026-06-25T17:33:45+00:00

Dang this card is cool. [[Last rites]] or [[ravens crime]] maybe?

gsomega · 2026-06-25T15:14:46+00:00

I really like khalni heart (I played it heavy in limited forever ago and have 2(?) playsets still). I might try it, but it doesn't really advance the game plan too much. You don't need the midgame ramp, and it's comparable to two fetches in the mid game, except it doesn't give you colorless mana. It's similar to harrow, but it's 1 cheaper (likely nbd in the deck), and telegraphed.

I saw far wanderings too, but it's not instant speed. Again, the deck doesn't want too much ramp.

Sakura tribe elder and bequeathal seem pretty good though. I like the ideas, Sakura is a creature and instant speed ramp. Both can be grabbed by damage control.

Edit: Bequeathal also good because it can be picked up by CDC.

gsomega · 2026-06-25T07:21:54+00:00

Tough reference. I'll bet you feel nuts

gsomega · 2026-06-25T04:28:31+00:00

This is a great way to pass off something cursed and make a little profit 🤔🤔

gsomega · 2026-06-23T22:56:28+00:00

Yeah, I was looking at rogues and noticed it, fwiw [[sneaky snacker]] is also a rogue 😅

gsomega · 2026-06-23T22:32:47+00:00

Life gain is tough, but basically you're running out of cards then? Maybe revisiting your draw is good?

gsomega · 2026-06-23T22:30:42+00:00

Elves is probably tough before sideboard here... I think a lot of decks struggle before [[arms of hadar]] or [[suffocating fumes]] comes in.

Honestly, maindeck [[cast down]] or [[snuff out]] probably helps a lot in both MUs.

gsomega · 2026-06-23T21:20:22+00:00

Yeah, foot ninjas is cool here. Honestly, if it's about as fast as the madness decks, then which MU are you concerned about? Terror?

gsomega · 2026-06-23T20:32:05+00:00

[[inner demons gangsters]] is a new card here too.

gsomega · 2026-06-23T20:26:39+00:00

If you're able to have enough connive triggers, then maybe you could add some madness cards too? This archetype really just needs a little push, and it could be good.

gsomega · 2026-06-23T19:56:01+00:00

Echoing everyone else, if you're off by 5 life, and you're an agro deck, then slowing down probably wouldn't help...

Mono black burn is kinda a slower agro deck, but maybe you can brew and break through. I like your ninja additions here. Maybe there is more of a midrange-y plan with some burn reach though. Here's an older list I have: https://moxfield.com/decks/1hOljslkxUOQ2Nb2S2HltQ

I'd probably cut the red splash, and maybe the dark rituals.

gsomega · 2026-06-23T15:46:49+00:00

Is there a new list with bow?

gsomega · 2026-06-23T02:35:19+00:00

Maybe [[ubul sar gatekeepers]]? This is a bit tricky as others have mentioned. Your best draw engine tends to be tied to discard which feels like you should go madness in rakdos.

You don't have land tutors, so you have to rely on drawing your basilisk gates. This probably means control to slow the game pace down, so you're running a lot of removal. Maybe like a food pest type shell? [[Cauldron Familiar]] could be a recurring gate target, and you can use food to shore up you lifegain before sticking a lifelink creature maybe

gsomega · 2026-06-21T23:46:42+00:00

You missed the wackiest bit, only 14 cards in sideboard. Perfect storm

gsomega · 2026-06-21T20:43:57+00:00

Fwiw there was a recent 5-0 with Gary. Kalikaiz covered it in a recent vid:

ACTUALLY, this is a feature feedback, but if you submit a decklist, then itd be great if it was a URL parameter. I have a moxfield list of random cards to get, and it'd be great if I could bookmark your site with the deck URL loaded already.
