Sadly, no Conley Woods concontion this time around. He didn’t do very well. I guess the list would be available somewhere, and I bet its interesting, but from what I heard, the land base was just less than 20 mountains, which would seem like some sort of monored heroic deck.
But plenty of great stuff around.
As usual, I bought the event deck and took it out for a spin.
Not necessarily very good ones, but ideas, still.
Last week, when I said I’m done… apparently I lied.
I thought I would be done with six parts, but during lunch I couldn’t help, but think about this one.
Plenty of players would like to continue to play their favorite decks from the past. Although many of the big ones will be effectively dead or completely reworked (see previous installments, especially part 5), its worthwhile to take a look at some of them and see what can be done.
Control is a relative term. We’re not going full UW No Wincons in the main deck Control here. Just decks that will rarely or ever take the beatdown role in.
No general theme here, just some decks.
Well, plenty of problems here…
In sources, such as Chapin’s Next Level Deckbuilding, you can find easy rules of thumb for how you should count things like mana-elves, cantrips, and ramp spells in your deck. Generally those rules are simple, such as they should be counted as a half or a quarter of a land.
Well, since fetches are going to be in Standard again, lets try this out.
