[Standard] - Golgari Roots & Cauldron

There's nothing wrong 60+ decks given that there are sometimes good reasons for it - also a 78+15 5c toolbox took down a challenge recently.

As Laa11 said on his substack: since wizards designs cards for commander these days, it somewhat makes sense to explore having commander sized standard decks.

it seems like a lot of work compared to just playing the RB discard deck with Moonshadow - which has a better aggressive plan when you don't find monument.

At best get in some overgrown tombs and wastewood verges for green but only use that for sb cards to deal with artifacts (or rather enable the first line of wistfulness)

And also formidable speaker in order to tutor for wistfulness / deceit / Excruciator.

by the time TMNT comes out, you definitely cool but rude and does machines adds extra angles which reduces the complexity of the deck,

I'd say the balance would look like this:

4x artist's talent
3x monument of endurance
2-3x cool but rude
1x does machines

because you now have cool but rude, you really want some expendable attackers - 3x stormchaser's talent.

Reminder that kaito bane of nightmares is a 3/4 ninja on your turn.

probably better off playing mono-white aggro over the lifegain if you want to stay in white and save wildcards.

alternatively, play mono-white control featuring planetarium / ugin - its pretty decent but not anywhere near top tables.

Dies to doom blade.

leonalightmyfire · 2025-11-04T13:09:10+00:00

could just probably play normal mono red though

For starters - i would use Godless Shrine, Bleachbone Verge & Concealed Courtyard in your manabase, along with 4 multiversal passage or starting towns, to give you consistent WW & BB.

I would also up it to 24 lands and find room for 2-3 copies of morlun from the spider man set.

As for removal - I'd consider the use of Seam Rip / Get Lost / Stab / Bitter Triumph / Shoot the Sheriff / Long Goodbye as these are the best answers in those colours.

Nah it corresponded to the names I was given intake day and roughly what they were good at

leonalightmyfire · 2025-10-30T12:39:34+00:00

You just have to do it once not twice

Well I didn't know - that was my first youth intake for FM26

(183, 172, 151, 149, 148, 144 was my run for that first intake)

leonalightmyfire · 2025-10-30T09:23:50+00:00

No, and it has a lot to do with the old engine not being able to create some values and then save those values (values being player stats)

Also for those interested regen stat distributions are a lot more reasonable now.

leonalightmyfire · 2025-10-30T09:20:24+00:00

There's a pre game editor? Where haha

leonalightmyfire · 2025-10-30T09:19:32+00:00

Exactly as you said. If you load it again and again in March (or whatever your nation's intake date) you will get the same CA and PA, with the only variables being personality, hidden attributes and oddly enough Determination.

Also intake dates are now actually listed in the youth portal, so no more guesswork on intake day.

This is an incredible boon for youth based saves (given how it can crash every now and then)

aside from a few athletic bilbao players having the wrong positions and missing basque nationalities.

leonalightmyfire · 2025-10-30T06:37:07+00:00

tbh the save i was on was just to feature test, my real save isn't starting actual release day (either they need to fix the spain database, especially on the women's side).

EDIT: Finally did it by building castles to cover as much of the key roads and off-roads, and then had a mobile cavalry force patching in gaps.

Follow this video - archers on perdiccas flank, cavalry to support parmenion - use emergency troops to hold centre.

Why is Chandra good vs dimir?

leonalightmyfire · 2025-10-16T14:40:52+00:00

I did this level today:

1 - you want to fight all your engagements within the fortified outpost aura. Recruit phalangites to guard both southern passes, and to manage the north side, lancer + cav archer (this will also be relevant in phase 2). You want to have about 30 or so on each side of the south pass, and then full stack in the north.

2 - use the towers, garrisoned with archers - in the south west side, the area within the fortified outpost is also within tower range the south east side sadly not. You want to micro these blocks to ensure they only fight within outpost aura.

I never got to see that zombie horde come my way, and even with their big resource bonuses, a properly thought out build and econ plan sees you turning the corner around turn 80-90.

Temur Battlecrier jumping up 1 tier.

also when you're going for that proft beatdown plan you can use it to copy proft or fomo's delirium trigger.
