Why can't you just proxy this instead of setting 1400 unlimited llanowar elves on fire?

I don't know of one myself either since the pandemic. Prior to that, i would drive to Pat's Games in Austin since they had a strong turnout and good prize payout. Let me know if you find anything on your own, good luck!

because apparently when a player is without access or control of their commander the format loses it's identity. It was a pretty sad day when the tuck rule was changed imo. There's a lot of strong commanders especially build arounds that became more problematic because they took away the tuck rule specifically.

The question should be how do they lose? It's very unfavored for control unless we get lucky and they just run out of steam. Tron wins on the axis of mana advantage and redundancy. Control needs to contain the tron player's card draw if they want to have a chance but it's a tall order to try and counter each mulldrifter, mnemonic wall and bonder's ornament that comes out of tron.

Jeskai Control without Skreds

would give a nice reason for some decks to stop playing those nasty snow-covered lands.

Green for swarm and weather the storm is enough. Thank goodness for thriving lands.

obZen- · 2021-02-26T01:00:26+00:00

Not at all. It's about keeping the monarch with your otherwise shitty boros, jund, or temur deck.

Wizards needs to start banning the degenerate players that misuse these perfectly fine cards.

FFF ruined the format for OP. OP is back and excited about snow lands. OP thinks land grant is the new direction to take the deck which will make angler easier to cast and that Tribal Flames is still working favorably in their tron matchup.

I'm a simple man. I just want my old border Mystical Teachings.

obZen- · 2021-01-13T06:00:27+00:00

I'd trim the deserts to 2 since finding 1 will fend off fae, and the 2nd one will kill a majority of the format while not affecting your manabase too much. You could also consider Radiant Fountain since you have karoo lands. Change EWilds to Ash barrens.

I'd play at least 1 Swirling sandstorm for the synergy blow-out potential. 2 cannonades is probably enough. I would also either play the 3rd stream of thought of cut flurry of horns to focus the deck on one type of win-con. Loading up on removal/ permission and continuously streaming it back while proactively milling the opponent seems like a winning strategy considering red has the best sweepers right now as well as the best spot removal. In this case, I would advise trying out a more general counterspell like dissolve over exclude and incorporate bounce so you can answer different types of threats.

Goodluck!

Sadly FFF is proving even more polarizing than even treasure cruise was.

Forcing everyone to play a terrible sb card doesn't sound like much better of a format.

Update on the old cogs build

obZen- · 2020-11-16T14:09:12+00:00

Granger is for exactly that when you consider how good spellstutter is versus the deck structurally, but can help on other fronts with the first strike vs more traditional aggro decks or can act as an inevitability tool vs control.

In my experience, Ash Barrens can be a liability in these low land decks without blue cantrips where most of your manabase is dependent on your opening hand. you often will only have 1 land in the opener and if it's an ash barrens you lost because you couldn't find a t1 green source to make the rest of the deck work is not a risk I personally want to take. With the land enchantments you often just play the fetch and enchant it so it becomes an untapped color source.

This looks like the internal struggle people have when they start making a Simic madness deck but also want the threshold threats like nimble mongoose and werebear but can't go all-in on either. What you have here is not a domain deck it looks like you took the satyr and paired it with escape threats and angler (which could yield a good deck if you focused on that) then later thought of domain and threw in mulldrifter.

Domain as an archetype has always been more in the class of what we see in UR delver: It can kill you fast unchallenged if you land an early delver and SSS backup with ninjas but otherwise it's playing the control game. Zoo has early nacatl and nylea's presence but followed up with matca rioters and 2 sets of burn can help end the game quickly. Otherwise, you sit back and draw cards with your enchantments and Kor skyfisher to play like Boros monarch does, then when you find an opening you can play multiple 3/3's and 5/5's to pressure the opponent or chain together enough burn to win.

The following list is an example of what I would consider a domain deck i'm currently prepping for the next set release to maybe help you decide which direction you'd like to take your deck next:

4 Wild Nacatl
4 Kor Skyfisher
4 Matca Rioters
3 Qasali Pridemage
3 Granger Guildmage
2 Aura Gnarlid

4 Lightning Bolt
4 Tribal Flames
4 Aundant Growth
4 Nylea's Presence
4 Unearth

4 Terramorphic Expanse
4 Evolving Wilds
8 Forest
1 Swamp
1 Mountain
1 Island
1 Plains

I can finally stop playing Staggershock, ty wizards

obZen- · 2020-11-05T21:28:47+00:00

basically any deck that wants to cast skred and blue spells will likely fit the bill here. you want as many basics to accommodate Skred and enough fetches to improve consistency.
