General The Constructed thread

What about this baby

 

[MCMcEmcee]

3 mana is the main issue, also doesn't find lands or mana dorks early. Was a bit too clunky in my experience, also more likely to whiff than the other enablers. Would rather another nyx weaver tbh

 

[Lucre]

I've never played with nyx weaver so I can't say, I think that card might be better for a different deck but finding some of the stronger removal options and the best creatures in the format and fueling dredge is pretty fine.

 

[MCMcEmcee]

I mean having actually played games with the deck I never really felt like I wanted a clunky enabler that takes up an entire turn, doesn't block or attack, or only finds wincons and a 1-of removal spell.
Like finding courser that you can't even cast on the same turn is an okay consolation prize but hardly exciting. This deck hard casts its fatties quite often by just hitting land drops and casting caryatids, and weakening that plan to marginally improve the reanimator plan seems poor.

 

[MCMcEmcee]

Also lategame whipping back a milled/killed weaver to regrowth is strong.

 

[Lucre]

Yeah I'm thinking I'd rather play it in a deck who was more concerned with gasing up again in the late game than a deck that has a billion giant comes into play creatures as it's lategame. I basically didn't remember how nyx weaver worked because it pretty much always died immediately whenever I played it in limited lol. I'm not criticizing your decisions.

 

[MCMcEmcee]

People let it live too often in constructed, had several people let me untap, block their stormbreath and get back murderous cut lol

 

[Lucre]

Yeah that card seems amazing with murderous cut. Omg is double regrowth in standard?

 

[MCMcEmcee]

restock is in m15 if that's what you mean

 

[Lucre]

Ugh everything has an exile clause these days, don't they know I wana make crappy grind out decks?

 

[MCMcEmcee]

Just cast Soul of Innistrad

 

[Lucre]

Lol I dunno man. Is a 2/3 a relevant blocker these days or is it just kinda a speedbump?

Trades at worst with rabblemaster

 

[Lucre]

Man I assumed they would never let their rubble muster knock heads with anything that cost 3 and had 3 toughness. Man I need to play some games with that deck, I've only really played green/x devotion so far in new standard.

 

[MCMcEmcee]

I mean a good blocker usually means they won't run their guys into it, right?

 

[Chris Taylor]

find the problem:


(no wonder I was confused)

 

[Jason Waddell]

I don't get it.

 

[Onderzeeboot]

Endless obedience gives you a t4 reanimate "nut draw" of t2 wayfinder t3 creature (preferably wayfinder) t4 obedience
T2+3 caryatid into t4 see the unwritten also good

(no wonder I was confused)

 

[Lucre]

The azban midrange decks completely squick me out, they are so 3 heavy for a deck with so many tapped lands and like all their 3s are double colour in different varieties.

 

[Lucre]

does fated conflagration kill almost everything?
Ugh I hate 4cc removal though, might as well play utter end lol.

 

[shamizy]

Everything except players.

 

[Lucre]

I mean what creatures in standard doesnt it hit?

 

[shamizy]

I know. I'm pretty sure it takes out almost every relevant threat right now since 5 damage is a big deal, but it's probably not worth diving in that deep into red because there's no other benefit. It's a 4 mana removal spell in a format that just got a bunch of relevant three and four drops from KTK. I don't think you'll ever be ahead when playing Fated Conflagration. The only things that come to mind with 6+ toughness:



Saw all of these at FNM yesterday. Aside from that, I think it kills everything else.

 

[Rasmus Källqvist]

And even then only two of those even get hit by it, mauler being hexproof.

 

[anotak]

if you're playing a 4 mana red removal card it needs to be stoke the flames
