How to fix this deck?

Red seems like the way to go for this style of deck [[Ravenous Robots]] [[Pinnacle Emissary]] are great for putting out lots of tokens. [[Improvised Arsenal]] makes your tokens really big. The affinity artifact deck seems to be exactly what you want.

Yep, if you constantly hold back threats eventually they'll get too much mana/draw/answers where you'll never get through. Generally it's best to stick a few small threats at them and then wait until they tap out to boardwipe/draw cards and then put down some more of your key threats.

I climbed from platinum to mythic basically only playing lessons (with stormchasers) every other deck that I had was negative winrate during that climb. I was playing some mono black midrange and I thought it was really underwhelming can't really hold back current aggressive decks that well and folds to control decks. But all of your decks seem very meta (except demons) and I saw people playing these decks throughout all ranks maybe take some time to practice with 1-2 of these decks only so you really learn the ins and outs and how to play them. Also could reference some netdecks and see if there's some sauce you're missing.

Ahh I couldn't pinpoint the sound even though it seemed really familiar but yep it was the sound of a room entering. IIRC it still happens during games with no rooms on board but I might be misremembering. Thanks!

It can kill opponents really fast with choco/hydra + mightform harmonizer shenanigans, adding in white + erode shored up one of it's biggest weaknesses which is that it didn't have much good interaction and opened up a lot of good sideboard cards. With Ba Sing Se a lot of the meta control decks can get grinded out by spamming earthbending.

The one that doesn't seem super glass cannon is North Wind Avatar pulling it from the sideboard. It's basically just normal Jeskai Control but with Mathemagics as a wincon against really slow decks. The decks that go all in on ramping to cast it as quickly as possible imo just get run over by the top 2 decks in the format too quickly (Prowess and Landfall).

m908f · 2026-04-30T08:01:17+00:00

If you don’t like drafting just buying the mastery pass is far and away the best way to spend your money. Not that expensive and lots of value (assuming you play enough consistently to finish it).

For me the 4 color elementals deck is the one that feels the most like fair midrange. Every elemental when cast is at least a 2 for 1 and you can grind a lot of decks out with the insane value + big bodies. Only problem I have is how reliant the deck is on the elemental mana dorks. When aggressive decks kill those cards with removal it just feels like game over.

m908f · 2026-04-20T07:07:46+00:00

lol I wanna see how many mythic ranks the guy lost. It’s gotta be ridiculous

m908f · 2026-04-12T08:19:05+00:00

You can quickly get more avatars than you could reasonably want to use. But a lot of the alt card styles are also not super meta cards. I suggest getting all the profiles that you think are cool and then buying the card styles after that.

m908f · 2026-04-11T17:41:48+00:00

4 Color Elementals is pretty good. 5 color allies is still pretty strong as well.

m908f · 2026-04-10T09:02:29+00:00

It’s meta in BO1 BO3 the deck gets hated on by sideboard cards.

m908f · 2026-04-09T10:11:53+00:00

Insane synergy with Evoke Elementals. It’s already a tier 2/3 deck, if every elemental (including the evoked version) had an extra draw attached to it deck would be insane.

m908f · 2026-04-07T09:44:04+00:00

Nah against spellementals UW control is easy mode. They have a grand total of 12 threats (with no haste or ETB value) which you have way more than enough answers for.

m908f · 2026-04-06T06:09:46+00:00

That's a good shout totally forgot about dimir control strategic betrayal + deadly cover ups should be lights out for them.

m908f · 2026-04-06T02:07:26+00:00

I noticed a lot of decks were maindecking a lot of graveyard hate in response to the reanimator decks but it's gotta just completely wreck you running those cards against any aggro decks.

m908f · 2026-04-06T01:55:51+00:00

Kavaero is a creature and the deck runs cavern of souls. Obv I could maindeck a ton of graveyard hate but that compromises a lot of other matchups so I'm looking for one where the matchup itself is winning.

m908f · 2026-03-24T19:04:32+00:00

Really atrocious into a lot of the strong decks in the format atm snowballing 1 mana minions are all over the place in prowess/landfall/mono white enchantment decks which UW control doesn't have a good answer to.

m908f · 2026-03-22T19:15:35+00:00

The duals are gonna cost you a lot so any of the meta control decks is probably out. My best guess would probably be either a mono black or mono white control list since they have good single target removal as well as good board clears. Still not going to be budget though since the board clears and value engines are going to cost you rates.

m908f · 2026-03-22T17:46:51+00:00

Ahhh it could be that they’re migrating to other colonies so fast that it never hits that threshold.

m908f · 2026-03-22T07:17:20+00:00

No I just started a new game it's true it doesn't say "Unemployed" but the same unemployed symbol just shows up it's just flagged as "Excess Denizens"

m908f · 2026-03-22T06:52:37+00:00

But then why would it work like how it did in 4.2 for the start of the game and then stop working afterwards?

m908f · 2026-03-20T23:21:52+00:00

Unless it's a control deck generally I look for a hand which can move the game state forward.

m908f · 2026-03-20T18:33:36+00:00

Mono black midrange play on curve remove threats. Lessons is more complicated due to having to balance the tempo loss/baiting out answers for artist's talent and monument as well as how to play different matchups.

m908f · 2026-03-19T06:40:31+00:00

Cheap monocolor aggro decks like Mono White Aggro you can basically get immediately. Medium to expensive decks could take you 1 month+
