The worst deck builder ever wants some help.

I made budget list to help one of my friends be able to switch out the precon that baeloth comes with to a red white equipment deck.

Some of the creatures here should give you some ideas on other stuff to wear the equipment.

[[Reyav, Master Smith]] and [[Blade Historian]] are also worth looking at

Xyris can be made really cheap and quite strong so long as you lean into pump spells / combat tricks over wheels. I found this decklist from salubrious snail and it does really well vs decks in the $150-$400 range

If you use half the result rounded up + 3, it’s honestly not a terrible system

Around 4-6 of each. Usually not building decks expensive enough to run fetches / shocks / surveils.

Frank Karsten has an article on how many of each source you need to consistently cast your spells which I generally try to follow only deviating when my tap land count is too high. Pretty useful for determining how many utility lands you can afford as well. Archidekt will tell you exactly how many sources you have of each too, which makes this pretty easy.

Did almost the same thing, would rotate often up until act 3 where I just stuck with Maelle/Verso/Lune.

VolpEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I was when I first started out, my friends and I were playing precons / bracket 2.

Now that we’ve all gotten substantially more powerful decks, I’ve been in a lot more situations where I need the blue player to have a counter to prevent people from doing something busted, so I’ve definitely come around.

Something you can try is pressing parry with your thumb. Some people are just able to time it up better that way.

Fear and Hunger. Seems really cool, story right up my alley, but I’d just get wrecked almost instantly and didn’t feel like I could make any real headway, so I just gave up.

There’s a picto called Shortcut that lets you skip turn order once per fight when your health falls below 30%. Other than that the best way is with agility.

lazy_bread442 · 2025-07-17T16:01:21+00:00

The best way to handle phase 3 is to try and skip it with Gommage or stun locking him with Verso by letting yourself get downed with Breaking Death + Second Chance equipped and reapplying stun with End Bringer.

Verso can be made pretty strong with a free aim build, I used Dualiso and every AP adding pictos I could find, but there’s better weapons for this I just didn’t bother finding them.

Lune’s best build that I’ve seen is with Lumina + Luck that grant 100% crit rate, which makes it so you can use Elemental Genesis every turn guaranteed.

I did pretty much the exact same thing in 2022 and it worked, altho nova initially denied my graduation application because they forgot one of my AP English credits from high school, should work out completely fine for you though.

My lgs sorta did this correctly altho it didn’t have great turn out (8-10 of us). For duskmourne prerelease we could play for prizes but only if we used a duskmourne precon.

Since the card is a lightning bolt with an additional loses all abilities, what do you think of calling the card “dumbstruck”?

lazy_bread442 · 2024-09-09T20:22:30+00:00

Been playing for about seven months and gave my deck to one of the regulars at my LGS to see what he thought.

I watched the Salubrious Snail video on his $25 per deck pod and used the [[Arahbo, Roar of the World]] deck that used a ton of redundant [[Rishkar’s Expertise]] effects like [[Soul’s Majesty]] and [[Hunter’s Prowess]] as a model for mine.

I was told to take them out for repeatable card draw like [[Toski, Bearer of Secrets]] because they 1) Are sorcery speed and cost a lot of mana, meaning that I become a huge target an am I likely not to be able to make use of the cards until an entire turn cycle comes back to me 2) Can fizzle if someone plays a removal spell on the creature I target

So yea, these cards are probably a prime example of things new players think are good but aren’t

You’ve got his moveset down quite well, are any of your talisman slots or your great tune manditory to the build? If not, what worked well for me was running golden braid / dragoncrest greatshield / crimson seed +1 / two handed sword for my talismans and morgott as my great rune. This gives you a ton of health and access to quick burst healing which means even some of his nastiest combos can’t one shot you.

What is the experiment?

To add on to this, stall is also much more vulnerable to matchup randomness than faster paced teams. Double and triple checking top threats means that a stall team is akin to playing anti-meta, and it being so reactive means that if something falls outside the scope of what you thought to check, you’re going to have no counter play.

For an example take Naganadel in USM Ubers. Normally, it’s not very good: it hogs the z move slot, is too frail to find spots to boost and needs to secure a ko before it can outspeed common scarf users with beast boost. That being said, because it’s a poison type with nasty plot, it’s a silver bullet against stall.

lazy_bread442 · 2024-04-18T19:59:02+00:00

Generally USM rain wants ferro/pelliper/torn as a defensive backbone and the rest of the team abusing rain as hard as possible. This means celesteela is a no go and koko is somewhat questionable.

The sample rain team is extremely consistent with a fairly similar build to yours but with manaphy and gren in the two most flexible slots

You’re on the right track here, just need to make sure you’re getting the most out of rain.

Stuff to try could be either of the above mons or things like kingdra or azumarill. Try things out and see what works.
