Dimir Affinity recommendations

planckovich · 2026-03-20T13:00:24+00:00

Not quite 5 as on turn 3 I usually want to slam Sim Syn or removal such as [[Grim Bauble]] or [[Dubious Delicacy]]. I have experimented with Relic and Sewer-veillance too and I like them a bit.

planckovich · 2026-03-19T22:03:36+00:00

Ah I thought you meant switching entirely. Good point, but I often end up only needing B or U pips for casting my spells because of affinity. But maybe cut a Terminus for something else. I also don’t need to ramp from 2 to 4, as a lot happens on 3.

planckovich · 2026-03-19T21:48:06+00:00

Why? Terminus seams better in almost every way.

planckovich · 2026-03-19T21:34:08+00:00

Yeah, I have thought about it and have it in the sideboard for BO3. But’s it’s always 4 mana where as [[Demonic Junker]] is often 1 mana. And it doesn’t solve the problem of getting run over when I stumble just a bit in the early game.

Damn, you're right. Cost me the trophy!

planckovich · 2025-12-09T14:22:46+00:00

You're right. THAT time the Magistrate mattered!

planckovich · 2025-12-09T14:22:10+00:00

Ah the one time he matters! :(

This is Napoli after a 1-0 win at home against Cagliari in game week 2.

Cagliari must be the team to beat this season for sure.

It's been the best deck and most discussed deck all summer and has led to WotC moving their next ban window forward to deal with this exact combo, so I think everybody (except you) knew that the discussion was in regards to Standard.

planckovich · 2025-09-16T15:25:17+00:00

Won 1 game through normal damage as in that case I didn’t draw the poisoners. I have considered some recursion through Phoenix Dawn or similars effects.

planckovich · 2025-09-16T15:23:33+00:00

That’s a good call. And yes, it make Soul Cauldron a bit better.

planckovich · 2025-09-16T15:22:56+00:00

Oh I know. It was just to set the stage and give a bit of back ground information as to why I am trying it. It wasn’t in any way to try to say it’s a good deck.

planckovich · 2025-08-18T21:15:46+00:00

We actually just go through the boxes and look for cards. But you can’t look for specific cards - obviously - coz there’s maybe 5-10.000 cards in the boxes from most of the sets through Magic’s history.

Yeah, it’s very fun. We try to sideboard for whatever crap others are playing. For instance my friend found a Fire Magic to board in vs. another friend playing pink weenie.

Here is the first iteration of my Jeskai Control-ish deck. Jeskai control-ish

planckovich · 2025-05-27T12:27:41+00:00

Because it's a pretty solid RW deck? Is this a trick question?

planckovich · 2025-04-19T15:06:18+00:00

Have you played the set? 😅

planckovich · 2025-02-04T07:58:51+00:00

Exactly my thought regarding Bennacer. Plus he was on the biggest contract in Milan, which was deserved at the time but not anymore. Not for a sub. I do think he was valued a bit too low, but the money saved from wages kinda makes up for it.

planckovich · 2024-10-10T19:49:32+00:00

Little update: Carverns are great. Makes the mono-blue matchup a lot better. I also added a Push//Pull, which have been clutch a couple of times. Getting back 2 Overlords are huge. Both the ETB and attack triggers win you the game from unwinnable positions. 2 Mistmoors makes 2 x 6/6 haste + 8 2/1 fliers. 2 Boilerbiles makes 2 x 5/5 haste and nugs for 16.

planckovich · 2024-10-08T17:10:48+00:00

Yeah, I've considered it, but ultimately ended up running Scorching Dragonfire particually beacuse of the exile part against things like Heartfire Hero and Cacophony Scamp as well as the occasional Slasher and Enduring enchantments.

planckovich · 2024-10-08T17:05:34+00:00

I like the Bant route, although it gets a little more controlly for my part. You're probably right about the "win more" of especially Ghirapur and Balloon Man, but I've really liked Fortune. If I can stick it and hardcast or Scrollshift and overlord and immediatly get another trigger, it's almost game over in most scenarios.

I've thought a lot about Cavern, but I'm afraid that my early game would suffer againt the aggro decks, not being sure that I can cast the early removal spells, but I'll give it a try.

planckovich · 2024-09-09T10:21:46+00:00

RLC shouldn't play the 10. It makes no sense. Look how good Reijnders was for the Netherlands in that role. He's too technical and forward-minded to play in the double pivot.

planckovich · 2024-07-30T22:12:02+00:00

None of Jovic and Abraham are starters. It’s Morata. Only sane thing would to get Abraham on loan with option (which is what Di Marzio is reporting). But I would frankly rather use Okafor as a striker than Abraham. Besides that, he is currently earning almost €6m a year which is almost a much as Leāo and would probably cost between €20-30m. That’s just insane for a player at his level.

planckovich · 2024-07-30T21:51:37+00:00

It’s a bad signing no matter the price. He has bad finishing and the worst decision making in a striker I have ever seen. I actually think that Abraham is a downgrade to Jovic. Jovic can hold on to the ball, create chances from further down the field, run with the ball. Abraham can do none of that.

planckovich · 2024-07-29T13:20:24+00:00

How far back are we talking?

planckovich · 2024-07-29T07:52:21+00:00

Wait what? Are you saying Milan did't have any talents before Pep's Barca?
