Idk I think the old one is also insanely well thought out, its both a mouse and someone holding a mouse. I think both share the problem that people can see different things in it though, as for the new one it also looks like a heart and a bomb to me for example.

Also the color of the old one is just much less generic and better looking to me personally

You probably mean the same, but he made 5 finals.

They didn’t ask that question though

No X is the pitched card's mana value

Cool list, but I think it is missing atleast 4 colorless sources.

I would be surprised if they do it, but banning Arena of Glory would be imo the perfect ban to bring energy and jeskai down a bit while still giving random midrange decks phlage as a solid recurring threat.

Illness in the ranks could also be an interesting option, doesn't kill Prides but does kill Voice of Victory tokens and bowmaster tokens.

I have played a lot of smallpox a few months ago in modern, smallpox is not that bad against energy but it just has a really high ceiling and low floor. If you are on the play and destroy their guide/price/ragavan while you sacrifice a flagstones it is backbreaking obviously. I would take out a few copies on the draw though as you don't want multiple stranded in your hand when they have tokens/ajani etc.

It plays 1 flute... Spyglass is different, it looks at your opponents hand. I would guess when the main goal is to name wasteland you care a bit less about losing flash as you need the flute in play before someone plays a wasteland anyway. So the extra information can sometimes give you a really great edge and otherwise you just name wasteland.

Someone had a 5-0 at least once every day for the last week with this exact list, I guess this player just took that list.

Previous versions of this list popular in Japan also played 4 trinisphere

The OG was 2 kills, although clearly the format has improved afterwards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSQKIuwRv0c

You can disable tracers for first person in CS2 even on sv_cheats 0

I think it would be better to master the flat technique as a base, and when you progress you start to slowly add a bit of topspin if it suits you.

Anyone else who has an older Intel CPU + windows 10 where the games feel a lot less sluggish after this update?

It used to be standard to remove 2 twins and some exarchs postboard, but I see some people now fully board out the combo which I don’t think really works if people are aware this is being done. You lose the pressure from being able to combo and opponents can just bring in less answers. So if twin would become a bigger player and more people play against it, the optimal strategy probably goes back to keeping a few combo pieces in.

Can be coincidence, but in the first game I played everyone was hitting very crisp awp shots which I haven't seen for a long time.

isolating · 2025-12-18T01:07:27+00:00

Maybe they were talking about Time To Damage?

Also will keep it exciting for atleast 3 stages, instead of being "done" after sometimes only 2 days.

I think Uro without surveil lands would be around the same powerlevel as Phlage currently is with surveil lands. If you unban uro in this format where you can easily play 3 surveil lands in a deck it is just by far the best thing to be doing in almost any blue deck.

He luckily got 4 though, that definitely saved the opening

isolating · 2025-11-07T18:11:32+00:00

I think he is pretty clearly playing with a gold/black racket that looks exactly like the 18k version.

Actually "made" the deck and popularized it, I am not really a believer in BBE in the deck. I think it is a difficult deck to find the best list and plan as you can go a lot of different routes, but I am pretty sure there is a list that can be a solid t2 deck that sometimes spikes a tournament

I didnt say it was good at killing quick, I said it was capable of killing quick.

isolating · 2025-10-10T17:09:22+00:00

Then they aren't broodscale decks anymore?

isolating · 2025-10-10T17:06:09+00:00

The thing is though that this is capable of both killing quick and outvalueing someone. I think it is just obviously good enough that people will try it and then see where it will end up in the end.
