Chromanticore is literaly the best card in standard! Its obvious. And I built a deck with it:
The Future of Standard- Chromantitactics Playtest
Standard
SCORE: 20 | 31 COMMENTS | 1922 VIEWSIt got top 8, so it is the best, right?
I challenge you all to a battle, a Chromanta battle! Here are the rules...
Rules:
1) There must be at least 2 copies of Chromanticore in the deck.
2) It must be standard
3) Part of the challenge is mana base, so it must be five colors. If you do not understand, it there must be at least one card for each color in the deck. So green must be in at least one card's mana cost, blue must be in at least one card's mana cost, and etc. I know what you all are thinking, "Chromanticore has one of each color in its cost!" Well, Chromanticore dosn't count.
Important side notes:
1) I will not sideboard for you.
2) I will not use you're deck if it is after number 10. I am accepting 10 decks, that's it. The first ten. No more, no less. I have a life you know.
3) Be patient. As I said "I have a life". I am not going to be able to do all 10 decks in one day.
4) The match will be best 2/3.
5) NO JOU CARDS IN DECK!!! I know a lot of you have been ready for JOU and have already put cards in the deck. Don't do that. Please!
I will preview all decks, and if the deck does not meet the requirements, it will not be entered.
Prize!!!
I know you are all wondering "why would I waste my time doing this?" Well, because there is a prize!
If your entered deck beats my deck, I will message you on your page. You will message me telling me what deck you want me to +1 and give a comment. I will then do that to your deck! Main experience is in standard, I have a good amount of experience in modern, and a little in EDH.
If your entered does not beat my deck, I will message you on your page. Since I'm a great guy, I will still give a deck a comment and +1 since you took the time to read through this lecture. But I want you to give me assistance on a deck and +1.
Alright, that's basically it! Alright guys, good luck and happy Deckbuilding!
Thanks for the submission zandl! It has passed the submission test and am excited to see how it plays!

Thanks InconspicuousPotato and TheOne4221 for your submissions.

I just playtested mine against yours myself and won pretty simply. Your deck is far too slow with all the Scrylands and Shocklands.

Can we use hybrid cards to meet the one card of every color requirement?
Like does Judge's Familiar meet the requirement for 1 color, or both?
Cheers!
:D

Disregard my other post, I ended up putting in cards that filled the requirements anyways.
So here's my entry!
I don't really expect to win, but I wanted mine to be different than the other entries so that you wouldn't have to do the same(ish) match multiple times.
Cheers!
:D

Sorry about that Dalektable, I just don't think its fair since the cards haven't been released yet.
Thanks CapnMooMoo for your submission.

April 22, 2014 8:04 a.m.

Thanks KingSorin for the submission...
Also, I have started playtesting! Yay!!! First up was zandl's deck Zandl's Chromatic Ramp. I won 2-0.
Game 1 was 2 Chromanticore s vs 2 Chromanticore s. It was a stalemate once they all traded with each other. You had a Reaper of the Wilds out who was poking at my 30 life (I gained life from a lot of things). I eventually pulled off a Sphinx's Revelation for 9 and drew lots of threats. Kiora, Elspeth, Prophet just to name a few.
Game 2 you were mana screwed... bad!!! I kept a two land hand that contained 3 3 mana ramp spells and a Thoughtseize (sorry if I shouldn't have done that) so I thought "he should draw at least one land, right?" NOPE! I beat him down slowly with a Courser of Kruphix .
Thanks again for the submission zandl! Everyone, keep submitting! We only have 6 submissions (DarkHero did his own playtest so it no longer counts)! That means 4 more slots! lets fill em' up!

Naw you can but I'll tell you right now it doesn't have any red in it besides the basic lands and Chromat himself so it can't really win by your rules. Guarantee its the best build for him though. TheGamer your scry land situation is going to kill you everytime. Thats the main reason I beat your deck with mine in playtesting.

Thanks for the suggestion Schuesseled!
We dueled BooJr2001 next. Very cool deck I won 2-0.
Game 1 I had so much removal. Hero's Downfall killed the Chromanticore , Magma Jet killed the Manaweft Sliver , and Abrupt Decay destroyed the Chromatic Lantern . I had out a Chromanticore of my own and a Courser of Kruphix , so I poked down his life total.
Game 2 he was color screwed... bad! He had a hand of red, white, and black cards with green and blue lands out. An Elspeth, Sun's Champion and Kiora, the Crashing Wave emblem won me the game.
Thanks again for entering! We still have a few slots left to fill. And you should be receiving a notification on your page soon.

InconspicuousPotato was next with his deck Chromanti Fort. I won 2-0.
Game 1 he was green screwed with a Chromanticore in hand. He only had Sphere of Safety out so my endless Kraken tokens got through after removing everything else.
Game 2 he was red screwed with 2 Chromanticore in hand. It was very impressive when he D-Sphered both my Prophet of Kruphix and Chromanticore . I eventually recovered with Elspeth, Sun's Champion and a soldier token with a Chromanticore bestowed onto it.
Thanks for submitting your deck! You should receive a notification on your page!
