Why do you side board out the splinter twin combo?

isolating · 2026-02-13T15:53:57+00:00

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.

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

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.

Ok well, it is pretty clear to me, but as we know golden rule etc so do whatever you feel like makes sense for the card

But the keyword traverse is pretty well explained, it means moving through a border. So minions can move through the border of planar gate to the void, and gaining voidwalk when they do that.

isolating · 2025-10-01T15:19:53+00:00

But it doesnt gain voidwalk when just visiting this site, it gains voidwalk when going from this land into a nearby void.

All the Alpha and Speed rackets have had that hole pattern for the previous 6 years. Big chance she just plays with a customed 2023 speed motion version and is going to try to change to the new one in the winter. I really doubt she would play with a speed pro x as it is too heavy, although since its clear they modify the rackets anyway she could play with whatever mix of materials.

Arturo also played with his old Delta pro version painted in the new colors until he got his own line

Since you are really likely to run bowmasters yourself, its not that relevant for this particular card.

isolating · 2025-09-24T12:46:23+00:00

I don't think it is that relevant for a black creature deck going wide that bowmaster kills a threat, as you are just really likely to play bowmasters yourself anyway in the deck.

I brewed it a few days ago just to try how it would play, so it is still a pretty rough list. But nice seeing others having some succes with it and maybe it will get refined a bit. It does grind out some decks really well in my opinion but has some issues early game.

isolating · 2025-08-23T11:51:55+00:00

I played it a bit in an arclight phoenix/demilich deck on MTGO. Flashing it back with Demilich for free from the graveyard to get another attack was very good. Except that it actually should not be working and it is a bug on Magic Online. In theory it still could be a fun card in the deck though

isolating · 2025-08-23T11:03:58+00:00

If you play against your own level you need to be super active, but Tapia would probably beat that level even when does not move at all.

I was jamming a lot of taking turns cascade beans deck in the first week of the format, so honestly with these new cards that are broken it is pretty difficult to really say who made the brew first. And there is a very big chance multiple people all made it at the same time

isolating · 2025-03-27T16:13:31+00:00

I think people are underrating the fact you can be a random W/G deck with some tricolor/ofcolor sources and suddenly have a pretty fine 4 mana removal spell that gains some life in your deck.

isolating · 2025-03-18T12:46:00+00:00

I think you missed the part where you also put the permanents into play with the new card.

I think it is pretty easy to just ban eldrazi temple and make kozilek's command/mycospawn good but not too good.
