TheOfficialCreator on Favorite MTG Set (Newer)

1 year ago

I still have to stick with War of the Spark as my favorite set. It has such a fun draft setting in my opinion (if you look at my drafts, I sometimes go on drafting sprees of WAR just for fun), and its cards are often powerful yet contained within a certain limit. There were no Okos in this set (although both Karn and Narset proved powerful enough for Vintage).

And the story... I know Greg Weisman's take on it gets a lot of flak for being kinda bad, but the story is better told, at least in my opinion, within the cards themselves. Little things, like Battlefield Promotion being tied to Tenth District Legionnaire, or the incredible grief portrayed in Rising Populace. Plus, it wrapped up a complex arc in a grand and emotionally investing way.

The cycles were all interesting and unique, and it introduced static-ability and non-mythic planeswalkers, which both had a big effect on the game in their own ways. Amass, while an incredibly limited mechanic in scope, was incredibly cool and unique.

Sorry, I get a little long-winded when explaining why it's my favorite set.

Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty is my second favorite from recent years.

junga on Mono white +1 counters and lifelink

So, ur deck is kind all over d place, no offense. U decided wat u want ur deck 2 do, but not How (+1 counters vs enchantments, win con etc) and some cards haver no place in there (some odd ones R d Soul's Attendant (fits swarm strategy better), Rhox Veteran (needs swarms and .. i really dont like dat card lol) and d Arcbound Mouser (needs other artifact creature 4 it's ability), Rising Populace (outclassed as far as cmc goes, and ia more of a aristocrat card)and u lack evasion (only d princess may avoid some blockers. Ill assume u want a more direct aggro strategy. Lets focus on creatures first, Sacred Cat os quite Nice, even better agains removal heavy, Healer's Hawk is another 1cmc slot and adds evasion. At d 2cmc u can fill with some 2/2 lifelinkers (LL) (there r some Functional reprints of Ajani's Sunstriker If u want other models and Sungrace Pegasus 1/2 flying LL. On a heavier cmc u can consider Seraph of Dawn as a finisher, a 2/4 LL with flying is Nice. u could consider ETBs pumpers like Dawnfeather Eagle so u can hit and still keep ur defenses up. On d +1 counter profit u could consider maybe Ainok Bond-Kin giving ur creatures with +1/+1 d first Strike ability. I would drop d enchantments pumps since u wont b protecting ur creatures. As Far as removals Go, 8 cards should b enough i Guess. U could use Oblivion Ring or Journey to Nowhere and Sunlance , there r some other Fun options like Weight of Conscience . I would also drop Battlefield Promotion , Moment of Triumph and Wanderer's Strike . Shoulder to Shoulder could be paired with Unbounded Potential for some card draw. White doesnt have dar many card advantage maybe Revitalize could help u 2, and drop 2 Idyllic Grange 4 2 Secluded Steppe . Dis r Just some random thoughts, d most important is 2 have Fun. Oh, and when starting a New deck, think about d rules of 4 (9-10 different non-land cards, 4 copies each so u can reproduce more consistent outcomes )

Murphy77, wow! These are so similar! I guess great minds do think alike. :P Haha.

I like that card Battlefield Promotion you've got in there and now I want to work it into mine. Thanks for sharing!

Murphy77 on Mowu Money, Mowu Problems

With Ajani's Pridemate front and centre, you might want another life-gain trigger. Evolution Sage is almost a must for any counter deck as you just keep adding counters. In place of Huatli's Raptor (if you have Evolution Sage ), you might consider something like Pelt Collector , which can be generating +1/+1 counters from turn 2. Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants would also work in this deck.

The dilemma with this type of deck will always be the choice between 1-drops and early counters - growing an attack force or being more aggro from the start and battling to find room for full sets of Stony Strength , Pledge of Unity , Evolution Sage and other cards that accelerate the rate at which you collect +1/+1 counters. I found it easier to build a deck if I focused more either on life-gain or on counter-gain.

Life-gain decks would then bring in cards like Fountain of Renewal , Twinblade Paladin and Take Heart . With more focus on counters, you want full sets of Gird for Battle , Battlefield Promotion and you will rely more on Evolution Sage for proliferation.

I honestly don't know what strategy is stronger, but have had fun playing Ajani M.

Moosen14 on Legionnaires of a Feather

Murphy77 thanks for the advice! I was running Sure Strike and Run Amok but I continually ran into issues where I just didn't have or want to spend 2 mana on an instant. In the case of Run Amok we also need to have our creature attacking so it's useless when trying to save a creature from shock or something. They also make it harder to get the effect of Dreadhorde Arcanist off. I will definitely consider both for a sideboard position but so far my experience with the deck makes me want to keep all my instants and sorceries at 1 CMC if possible. Feather is a 3 drop so ideally we want to drop her on turn 4 with one white up to protect her if need be. Dropping her on turn 3 leaves her open to removal and any later than turn 4 and you risk falling too far behind to recover.

Moving onto my reasons for 2 Gird for Battle I was torn on the card but it has been surprisingly useful. I hate that it is a sorcery but being able to give 2 creatures +1+1 and possibly prock Tenth District Legionnaire is just amazing. Plus when we attack with Dreadhord he can do it all over again (assuming Feather is not on the field). So for 1 mana I can beef two of my creatures by 2 (4 in the case of legionnaire!). If this card was an instant you better believe I would be running 4 copies. I don't think Tiana, Ship's Caretaker has any synergy with this deck but it is a real cool card.

Another card I have been back and forth on is Spellgorger Weird . I love the card but it dies to Shock and is a 3 drop. I know Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin does as well but the potential for him to swarm the board justifies that in my eyes. Honestly I like both cards very much and I may sideboard one to swap out with the other depending on the match-up.

As for Ajani's Pridemate that is a strong contender for the deck right now. It's a two drop and if I started running 4 Moment of Triumph it could get real spooky real fast! I'll do some play testing to see if that should claim a spot. I see a lot of potential with it. I'm hesitant to run Battlefield Promotion because, again, it costs 2 but if pridemate work's as well as I think it might replace Gird for Battle .

Guttersnipe is a cool card and I can see it working really well in the deck but I'm not sure that is the strategy I want to go. I've been screwed too many times by that card so using it might leave a bad taste in my mouth. I was running Electrostatic Field because it's a good blocker and does some poke damage but I think I want to focus more on getting my creatures beefy and swinging.

Again, thanks for the advice! I'll be sure to update this page once I've tested out some different things.
