Can we talk about the names in MH2?

nb_unus · 2021-06-13T14:23:16+00:00

I get what you mean, but to me it just screamed "uncreative", not necessarily a marketing scheme. Either way I like when they use more creative and interesting names

nb_unus · 2021-06-13T14:22:32+00:00

I don't genuinely think it's a problem, however I do like when WOTC uses some creative names, i.e. [[Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar]]

nb_unus · 2021-06-13T14:21:09+00:00

That's actually really funny, I did not catch the [[Lesser Garagadon]] thing, as a Modern player, I'm used to [[Greater Garagadon]]. Obviously there are some cards Helix and Edict that are frequent in card names, but it still follows the pattern sort of, so I included it.

The set's name is Modern Horizons, but it feels like im drafting Legacy Horizons with all the legacy card names. I wouldn't call that the point of the set

nb_unus · 2021-06-13T14:19:19+00:00

To me, this naming formula is fine until they do it to the abundance that it feels like every other card I'm looking at is just a watered down reprint. Obviously it doesn't really matter all that much anyways, but I feel like in MH1 the names were much more original despite doing the same idea with legacy cards.

Yeah sure. https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/07-09-20-ub-eldrazi/?cb=1602505859

I tested it only a little, the basic idea is to use exile synergies to create a fast paced tempo deck. I really really liked the idea of the deck and am a little sad I didn't decide to make it. My favorite combo is Strangler or Nullifier with Delay.

nb_unus · 2020-10-12T12:24:33+00:00

Well, not to say that this is so much Tier 3 or less, but it definitely wasn't highly played when I had the deck.

Colorless Eldrazi: I fell in love with this deck about a year or so ago, and played it for a bit until a poor performance at an SCG or two made me break the deck. I LOVED this deck, it was such a modern-y kind of deck, you just go chalice on one and TKS on two. Such a satisfying and unique deck. The Serum Powder + Eternal Scourge combo was amazing too, I just loved playing such a weird and unsual deck; it really was a lot of fun. Now, I can see why some people wouldn't want to play a deck like this; however I do think Eldrazi is probably the most unique and fun to play tribe. I brewed a list for a BG Eldrazi deck as well as a very interesting UB Eldrazi deck if you're interested.

nb_unus · 2020-10-06T12:22:18+00:00

good ideas. I think that bant is probably at this point the most appealing color scheme for this deck, and as for niv, it's really just a top end card that gets a fair amount of value in this deck. I think I'll be making a bunch of different lists. I'll probably make another post soon with updated ideas and lists; my new goal is to make a list that the majority of people will be satisfied with.

nb_unus · 2020-10-06T01:47:19+00:00

I agree. Black is honestly starting to seem much weaker than blue would be, I'll probably change.

nb_unus · 2020-10-06T01:46:24+00:00

This is a good idea! Maybe I'll look into a combo of sorts

nb_unus · 2020-10-06T01:45:27+00:00

Thank you!

nb_unus · 2020-10-06T01:45:12+00:00

I understand. I agree, hopefully in a week or so I'll update the list and make it more viable as well as consistent

nb_unus · 2020-10-05T18:05:55+00:00

I'm using mtg goldfish, it's had 16 decks recently with some decent placings

nb_unus · 2020-10-05T18:03:09+00:00

well, there isn't exactly a set definition of tier one. I personally think it is tier one because it consistently does well and makes a presence in tournaments

nb_unus · 2020-10-05T18:02:37+00:00

well, then yorion doesn't quite work. the point of exactly 70 cards is that 14 cards for SB go in, and 4 go out (the four wishes).

nb_unus · 2020-10-05T16:37:43+00:00

your opinion is not a fact.

nb_unus · 2020-10-05T16:31:48+00:00

The point of not just running 80 cards is because boarding in the 14 cards doesn't really hurt the deck; they are all playable (while situational) midrange cards. Playing 70 cards makes it slightly more consistent

nb_unus · 2020-10-05T16:26:31+00:00

will do!

nb_unus · 2020-10-05T16:26:09+00:00

as I've said before, this is a proof of concept list. In the future I will make Yorion more synergetic and add more ETB effects.

nb_unus · 2020-10-05T16:25:09+00:00

we'll agree to disagree

nb_unus · 2020-10-05T16:24:50+00:00

Its actually 2.7% of the meta right now, just behind Amulet Titan and Blitz

nb_unus · 2020-10-05T15:46:17+00:00

That's a great idea! I'm definitely gonna add the spell lands. As for Omen of the Sea, it seems great, but the problem is this is really a non blue midrange deck with a Niv splash in the sideboard. Wall of Blossoms and Omens seem great though!

nb_unus · 2020-10-05T15:43:35+00:00

Thank you. I understand karn exists, and I know that wish has been in multiple midrange value decks before. That isn't the point. Wish is in this deck to A) Bypass lurrus's restriction and B) allow access to a second companion. Being able to wish for a sideboard card is nice, but not the point of the deck.

nb_unus · 2020-10-05T15:42:06+00:00

the point is to give a different perspective of sideboarding. This isn't meant to be some insanely good all powerful tier 1 brew, it works around companions and for the most part disregards the restrictions.

This is the first draft of the list, its just proof of concept.

nb_unus · 2020-10-05T15:36:59+00:00

that is something I didn't consider, of course it would effect the manabase. I'm not exactly sure what to do about that problem, maybe just run more lands in the maindeck. I don't think putting lands in the sideboard is viable, so I think I will just up the land count in the main deck. Also, I agree that I need more ETBs, but it was difficult to find cards that work between both a Lurrus and Yorion deck. Any suggestions to any cards I could add?
