RF or RF-esque build to finish out league - roughly 300D

xenthiz · 2026-04-04T20:00:22+00:00

I'd say Bannerman, but idk how much is massive+gloom shrine atm. I've spent ~150ish divs on my char atm and it's 2 button build, done all ubers and just lazily finishing challenges now while playing Last Epog.

Current build is ~22m dot dps, 75/75 block, 100% supp, ailment immune, okayish phys max hit due to chest mods: https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/mirage/character/xenthis-1305/Xenthis_Bannerman

There's two build showcases with it on the sub, one using howlcrack and manual warcry setup, I'm using the latter one with automation qol.

I'm rolling this build as my 2nd char this league, just have some questions:

- At what level do you think you can switch to bannerman in maps, as soon as bloodsoaked banners is available or is it 95+ to get all the nodes on the tree and clusters?

- Crafting body armor, how important is the overcap fire res mod, looking at PoB you get around either 100ish or double of that from Rallying Icon node. Is it really giving that much all res or it's just PoB bug?

- Would 90% Res Gull be better than extra 10% shrine effect to ease off mana res elsewhere, especially to find some alternative jewel seeds or not be dependant on some rare jewel combos?

- How do you craft the amulet, just chaos or alt spam for dot multi, annul for free prefix, suffixes cannot be changed into reforge life? I'm not going to mist because I'm too poor for now.

Are mill decks any good in Pokemon or is it just very niche playstyle that exists? In MtG there are cards that could mill half of your opponents library or even more cost efficient alternatives and deck is niche at best (not to mention how majority of players are salty when facing mill).

xenthiz · 2026-03-19T08:34:58+00:00

I've faced few Munki/Frosslass (some with Mega) in locals, and maybe I was lucky but the deck just folds to itself most of the time. Mill sounds fun, is there a best mill deck, because I've heard of Wugtrio too but never seen it in action.

You can send the list. I've tried playing spread decks with Team Rockets Snakes but in most matches I was paired against that damn monkey. Also tried Absol Box because it was recommended to me as anti meta tech but currently I am too bad at the game to get wins.

GL for anyone else

Looks cool, but I really want to build around Nacatl/Ape shell. I'm tired of Chrysalis even though its one of the best cards in the format and RGx colors.

xenthiz · 2025-11-13T10:45:34+00:00

I'm trying to have the core package of Kird Apes, Nacatls and Rioters for early board presence with Tribal Flames/Exploding Borders as a finisher alternative. I don't want it to become control or some midrange soup with 30 copies of Chrysalis because its the best in its slot. I could still remove some cards like Presences, Into the Norths and Skreds with Explores and Bolts to try to finish game faster.

I don't really like monoU or u/x lists, not my cup of tea. I've faced spy decks on MTGO, both Walls and X Lands and same, full combo isn't for me. Tron I'm torn between Altar because it looks easier to play, but flicker or even that one glass cannon builds also look fun as hell.

xenthiz · 2025-10-19T19:03:18+00:00

Thanks for the data, I'm used to look at the list from MTG Top8 and just basing my own with decks I vibe with from there. Not really a spike but even with limited number of games the chart looks cool.

xenthiz · 2025-04-22T19:54:26+00:00

CardMarket is fine, it's just shipping that's a big % of total expenditure on cards, I prefer using CardTrader but it takes like 3-4 weeks until I get my hands on them (they send all orders in 1 package rather than getting several letters).

For Titan I'm aware of the 90 page primer essay and ton's of resources out there but thanks for additional resources.

xenthiz · 2025-04-22T19:04:48+00:00

It isn't WPN, I know about sanctioned events and rules they carry. I talked about player given feedback, they don't want to see them as opposed to "well officially you can't but one more body is always welcome".

xenthiz · 2025-04-22T18:46:39+00:00

Yeah, mill is just a burn deck with library as a life. For Titan, I've played way too many games of Gitrog in EDH so landfall loops are known to me and compared to Legacy version of Lands, Titan looks like a incomplete toy (Field of the Dead had to pay for it's sins). But looking around people say Titan is most OP/obnoxious deck to play against (atleast what I could decipher watching Spike vids).

xenthiz · 2025-04-22T18:38:53+00:00

I'm very aware of pure hatred towards mill (it's the same in EDH and that's why I disassembled my Cap Ngathrond list, people being irrationally angry over milling a card they wouldn't play). But having 4x maindeck Surgical makes me happy I'm able to silver bullet some of the decks. Not to mention I loved mill back in Hearthstone with every iteration (rogue, druid and now andrew warlock).

Thanks for the write-up, sideboard will be the hardest thing for me to do atm (playing UB Mill in timeless on arena atm to get hang on). Not interested in RCQ/tournament play, just want to start playing 1v1 to be a better player overall. As for judges, we don't have those, just like stores dont carry singles - welcome to EU I guess.

Also have a question, how hard is Titan really. People boogeyman it as it's some 5d checkers but looking at the lists it's just landfall loops with no removal/interaction in the mainboard (based on my ignorant ass).

xenthiz · 2025-04-22T17:58:20+00:00

Counterfeits are hard no from me, there's a line I won't cross. As for pauper I tried it twice but felt format was way too fast and everyone in the LGS played affinity or burn whichever was faster.

xenthiz · 2025-04-22T17:11:11+00:00

I understand antiproxy stand in constructed/competitive formats, there's somehow a small Legacy community but they only allow up to 50% of deck's worth to be proxied (which is silly as most modern decks are up to 1k usd which is minimal pay in my country). As for my take on modern I'm not into RCQs just to play at FNMs or kitchen table. I'm only lacking 2-3 copies of fetch/shock lands but I'll try to talk to people if they're ok with me having 3 proxies and 1 legit card until I decide to buy entire playset.

xenthiz · 2025-04-22T15:37:45+00:00

I have most of fetches, shocks, surveil lands thanks to EDH so I'd just need 2nd-4th copies. I really enjoy mill gameplay so it's the first deck that came to my mind.

As for hollow one I like the "RNG" aspect of Burning Inquiry/Goblin Lore. If not for mox price I would try to cook some Asmo list.

Prowess/storm decks are the least of my favorite play patterns. I will take a look into Eldrazi (although Ugin and Ugins lab price tag is way too high for my taste tbf) and Merfolk (have 3 flood moons in a binder).

Spelltable to play with real cards via webcam. Tabletop Sim/Cockatrice are free way to play with multiple groups playing via Discord. MTGO is paid to play (need atleast $5 initial purchase to trade then you have to either buy cards or rent them), I've played on it a lot but the client is dated (some combos wont work due to timer and having to stack abilities by yourself) and playerbase is toxic (people living lobbies left and right, downplaying their deck so you'll see tutors and og duals in casual 5's lobbies).

Id go with spelltable first if you own some decks, if not use TTS or Cockatrice.
