hyalopterouslemur on Will Harmonize Replace Flashback?

2 months ago

I mean, yes, and no. The ability has more options, but flashback will be more aggressively costed than harmonize because you can tap a creature to reduce the cost. Also, I doubt they'll have off-color harmonize costs the way they've had off-color flashback costs. (The rules for designing off-color flashback costs like Unburial Rites and Ancient Grudge are the same as for hybrid mana: It has to be something both colors can do.)

Holy crap lol, I looked at Myr Landshaper somewhat recently and thought "I need to build this with Ancient Grudge!!" and then I searched cards for about an hour and never actually built the deck. But here it is before my very eyes, Balaam__ did it 3 years ago! Have you considered trying a gruul version with the grudges? The other key piece of tech would be Ashnod's Transmogrant which I see you have in the maybeboard. The Balaam__(TM) narrative is fantastic as always

Also funnily I just saw Myr Kinsmith for the first time as well, Altar Tron uses it to find Myr Retriever

Love a good ol' slime list. The Arbor Elf and Utopia Sprawl package seems like it could really accelerate the game plan. For the sideboard I would also recommend Weather the Storm over Feed the Clan and possibly adding in some number of Ancient Grudge for the affinity matchup.

Overall, really like the list. Might have to show this one around at FNM.

beleren2013: Ancient Grudge makes perfect sense here, thanks a lot.

I have a similar decklist, but I tapped into red. I originally did this so I could have access to Ancient Grudge, but it also opened the door for Raze to the Ground and Obsidian Charmaw.

You may consider adding cards such as Mwonvuli Acid-Moss, Rending Vines, Viridian Revel, Deus of Calamity, or even a Bala Ged Recovery  ^Flip. The first three will add more ramp/card draw. Obsidian Charmaw and Deus of Calamity work as some heavier hitters that fit the theme. Bala Ged Recovery  ^Flip is also useful if Liquimetal Coating or Myr Landshaper keep getting targeted.

I can't help but notice you have zero ways to deal with noncreature permanents! Trying to win while ignoring them is a possibility, but it would be a major drag to be shut down by something like Meekstone, Teferi's Moat or Grave Pact.

I'd strongly consider making room for a few answers to such cards - some of the premiere choices include Hull Breach, Nature's Claim, Ancient Grudge, Krosan Grip and Shattering Spree. Sticking more to the creature side of things, some good options include Reclamation Sage, Outland Liberator  ^Flip, Thrashing Brontodon, Viridian Zealot, World Breaker and the blanket-answer Bane of Progress. Hopefully some of these cards can help dig you out of tight situations in the future!

ClockworkSwordfish on The Beasty Boys (Budget)

This looks like a really good, solid kitchen table-type deck! It's always nice to see more of those types of casual superstars.

One choice that stands out to me, however, is Warden of the Chained... he seems like a reasonable "underpriced creature with a drawback," but it's actually quite easy to do better in . The best example is perhaps Gruul Spellbreaker, who can be the same size and mana cost but has some other abilities, too, without the drawback. In my experience, the card is dirt cheap, so budget is no worry!

One other option you might want to consider is having a way to deal with noncreature permanents. It would be shut down by something like Sphere of Safety or Call to the Grave. I think one of the most efficient budget options is Hull Breach, though you might also like the incidental damage from something like Cindervines or Destructive Revelry. Ancient Grudge is also super efficient if you're more worried about artifacts in particular. If you'd rather handle it on the creature side of things, Sunder Shaman and Gemrazer are both solid options!
