wallisface on The New Most Competitive Modern Deck--Dryads

1 month ago

Omniscience_is_life, some examples of how the 5 modern-playable tribes operate, to give you an idea of what you’re up against:

• Humans have creatures that grow very bog very quickly in both Champion of the Parish and Thalia's Lieutenant . Almost every other human is then actively ruining the opponent ability to play (i.e. Meddling Mage , Kitesail Freebooter , Reflector Mage ), or providing backup damage (i.e. Mantis Rider )

• Spirits function down a similar line to humans, except with everything in the air, and lots more lords. They buff with the likes of Drogskol Captain and Selfless Spirit , and disrupt with the likes of Skyclave Apparition , Spell Queller and Mausoleum Wanderer . They even have built in protection in the form of Rattlechains and Selfless Spirit .

• Goblins are a hyper aggressive deck aiming to win by comboing off, or besting you down. Their combo pieces are Conspicuous Snoop and Boggart Harbinger (putting Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker on top then Sling-Gang Lieutenant to win). They can easily assemble their pieces with the likes of Goblin Matron and Goblin Ringleader . They also have a lot of aggressive go-wide threats to try winning without the combo.

• Merfolk are less interactive than the 3 above decks, and because of that, generally weaker. Almost everything they run is a lord and/or grants islandwalk ( Lord of Atlantis , Master of the Pearl Trident etc), and they aim to simply race the opponent by swinging in with lots of 5/5 unblockable merfolk thanks to the likes of Spreading Seas . They basically aim to race the game, so their interaction is just to mess with their opponent, like Merfolk Trickster , Harbinger of the Tides etc.

• Elves are a straightforward deck. They makes a butt-load of elves, generate waaay too much mana, and then win the game through Ezuri, Renegade Leader , Shaman of the Pack , and Elvish Warmaster .

The above decks can all win their games by turn 4 or 5, most of them giving the opponent constant grief while doing so.

As a further example, Slivers are not a modern-viable tribe, because just throwing creatures down on the board and hoping for the best doesn’t cut it in the modern environment.

I think you need to consider what you’re actually getting out of Dryads, and whether you want this to be a competitive deck, or a casual/meme deck.

Love the Shattergang Brothers !

I would recommend Grumgully, the Generous and Goblin Matron . Maybe Goblin Recruiter but that card can be very tedious and time consuming so maybe not!

These too: Dross Scorpion , Vanquisher's Banner , Sequestered Stash , Grinding Station , Sword of the Meek , Goblin Matron , Goblin Recruiter

Also just realized Chandra wouldn't work so well unless you could cast the 0-drop dudes at instant speed.

Hello, Nice list! As someone has pointed out, have you tried running Coveted Jewel? It is 3 mana=draw 3. You may protect it with tokens, destroy it or even funnier: steal it back with Treasure Nabber (which you can tutor with Goblin Matron or Goblin Recruiter). You may also be lucky to have a Panharmonicon on the field to draw 6. Also, what do you think about Idol of Oblivion, Jeska's Will and Valakut Exploration?

Deadshot5459 on Angelic Goblins

5 months ago

Cool deck, nice planewalkers, but I felt that you should have more angels, plus, for a goblin deck, it didn't really have many goblins, so a couple things. 1: you should have had Krenko, Mob Boss, this card would have given you the necessary goblins to really make this deck havoc. Plus you should have had more angels and spells that really give all your creatures a huge buff, like Divine Visitation with the doubled goblins created every turn with Krenko, and you get 4/4 every turn, to get the Krenko you should have had Goblin Matron and finally, my just about favorite goblin of them all, you should have included a couple Brash Taunter, now I recently got this card from a draft, and my oh my, it is really good, if you really want to, have a spell that makes it hexproof.

multimedia on COOL sac Korvold deck?!

6 months ago

Hey, nice update. I think you'll find that Korvold is an amazing Commander with sacrifice strategies.

Murderous Redcap and Putrid Goblin are other persist Goblins to combo with Grumgully and a sac outlet. Goblin Recruiter and Goblin Matron are tutors to get Goblins which is also nice with Dockside. Recruiter can setup the top of your library with Goblins to draw and assemble the Goblin combo with Korvold. Get Dockside first which makes mana with treasures to sac to draw with Korvold the rest of the Goblins and cast them.

Because you have Dockside then Temur Sabertooth can combo with it as long as Dockside makes five or more treasures then it can make infinite mana with treasures and bounce of Dockside with Sabertooth. This combo with Korvold draws into your deck letting you cast all cards in your deck or draw until you find Mayhem Devil as a win condition by sacing treasures.

Tireless Tracker, Mystery Booster version, is very good with Korvold as a repeatable source of permanents to sac just by playing a land. Sacing a clue with Korvold draws two cards and grows Korvold as well as Tracker. Without Korvold Tracker's clues can be a backup draw source.

A budget card that's overlooked with Korvold is Jolrael, Mwonvuli Recluse. On your turn if you draw a card with Korvold then you create a 2/2 Cat. She can be a repeatable source of Cats just by drawing a card which can be sac fodder for Korvold. She can also trigger on your opponents turns, if you draw two cards, which is good with clues and treasures with Korvold. Jolrael's activated ability can pump all your creatures especially Goblin tokens for a huge attack which can be a backup win condition with infinite mana from Dockside + Sabertooth without Korvold.
