It's pulled straight from Maro's market research. There are many, many more casual players than competitive players after all, so what you see at your LGS or on tourneys doesn't represent the actual market.

Is legacy merfolk as linear and brain dead as modern merfolk?

Does it only compete because the whole deck can be pitched to Force?

Merfolk is linear. All you're doing is playing lords, I mean, yeah you can fire off a curse catcher if your opponent fucks up and taps out for a spell, but besides that it's literally just shit your hand out and attack.

Sorry, Sakura-Tribe Elder.
He gets called Steve here for some reason.

>>46320354
What deck plays a 7 cmc kraken? Also fuck you for judging people who take time, I'm sure by the autistic reaction image you've chosen to use you're probably 15, but aside from that what I'm sure you said is 5 minutes is probably more like 30 seconds which your feeble retarded mind cannot handle.

>>46320354
I actually got someone for slow play because my opponent was holding priority during my turn, "thinking" about whether or not to cast something. A buddy of mine saw his hand (no instants, no flash), and asked a judge to look at our match. He caught on pretty quickly what was wrong with the situation.

>>46320505
Rug Titan? I'm assuming that's like scape shift except with prime times, what's your list?

>>46320505
>He gets called Steve here for some reason.
I can understand that. He does look like a Steve.

>>46320538
Yes, that's exactly it, and I'm hoping to Pioneer something decent,
It isn't finished sadly.
But it's gonna be running the following as the core.
4 Prime Time
4 Sakura-Tribes
4 Search
4 Valakut (I know, that's a lot)
2 Primatic Omen

and after that I'm kind of lost. Honestly, it's eventually gonna turn into scapeshift, I'm just really fucking broke, and scapeshift is too much money right now.

>>46320600
4 valakut does seem like a lot, and how broke is broke? Cause cavern of souls is a real nice card.

>>46320510
Not that guy, but when the match goes to time and I've had priority for less than 10 minutes (and I'M the only one playing a control deck), something's fuckey.
I've had the match time out in game 2, after I've taken game 1, where my opponent at least could have taken the game for tied round if he didn't play like a goddamn sloth. It's not a hard game. If playing fucking Zoo is mental gymnastics to you, please find a new game.

>>46320657
Cavern of Souls is 30$ too much for even one.
Also, I justify the 4 Valakut with the 2 Prismatic, is that enough?

>>46320670
If you're playing control, and getting 10 minutes of play time out of 50, then you need to either communicate with your opponent or call a judge for slow play, it's as simple as that. That shit doesn't aggrivate me so much, considering if it does become a problem, I handle the problem, like a normal human being would, not just sit in my chair then cry on the Internet about it

I really can't help you if your budget is too low for 30 dollar cards. You can get away with running a 2 color budget deck in modern sometimes, but lets be honest you should probably not be running 3 colors.

>>46320764
>you need to either communicate with your opponent or call a judge for slow play,
Apparently I'm not allowed to call a judge if each of his turns takes less than FIVE minutes (and I do time it). Am I supposed to be nagging him? Am I supposed to tell him exactly what he can do with his hand and field to beat me, that he can't figure out for himself no matter how long he takes? What outs do I have, barring telling someone with a $1500 deck exactly what to do and why?

>>46320794
Why not just give them DRS and hymn, just so we don't even feel like we have a chance of winning. I mean with just BBE, we might go 2-1 if we're lucky but at least if we just make it legacy jund with shocks we can never win any matches.

>>46320848
Don't be that bitchy, the fair decks need a push to win against uninteractive goldfishing that is now the meta and BBE is the safest ban

>>46320838
I'd say go 2 colors, cause all the blue cards you might want are kind of pricey, so just go RG. Then I'd just make it like a RG midrange sort of deck, with ramp and a slightly higher curve. The question is though do you really want to go 3 colors?

>8 of the 20 lands in deck are fetchlands

Please explain to a casual player what makes these fetchlands so damn good that most decks seem to have more fetches than lands to actually fetch

>>46321041
>However, the R&D clearly stated that the outcome of a game of Magic should be decided by cards being played and not by a conjecture that requires a degree in Mathematics.

Fucking casuals ruining magic, go out and get your fucking doctorates and we can finish this game

>>46321092
fetchlands get whatever shock you need

>>46321092
If you ask this, you're in the wrong thread
Go back to casual please

>>46321092
Because 8 fetchlands turns a 60 card deck into an effective 52 card deck. If you don't have your Maths degree, that means you're more likely to draw cards you need.

>>46321092
>draw a regular land and play it, only have access to whatever color that land is

>draw a fetchland, now you can decide what land you want, on top of thinning two cards out of your deck now and increasing the odds that you'll draw the stuff you want on curve
>also get to trigger landfall ETB twice

Literally everything.

>>46320510
>it takes people 30 seconds to decide what to do
No, it doesn't. Professional players are more than capable of acting within 30 seconds with board states that would make you shit your brain out of your ears because you are so retarded. It's called an "evolving game state". Your board isn't the way it is because of some spontaneous reverse Wrath of God. You should have been paying attention to how your board got to the state it's currently in, and then react in a meaningful way.

>>46320840
>Apparently I'm not allowed to call a judge if each of his turns takes less than FIVE minutes
Who said this? Your opponent? Fuck him. Your opponent would say 'You need to concede to me or you'll get DQ' if he thought he could get away with it. If a judge said this, call for a different judge, or appeal. If he's the only judge at the store and this is FNM or something, then ask him what better things he has to do, besides smoking pot during the round?

>>46321092
They thin your deck (negligible), and they , you know, fetches lands (important). Without fetchlands, you're forced to rely on drawing the right color lands to cast your spells in the right order. They do other stuff too, like fill your graveyard for stuff that cares about that (goyf, delve cards, w/e), or shuffle your library after a brainstorm.

>>46321141
don't tell the noobs to run fetchlands for deck thinning

someone actually did some maths and in a regular (read: not Jeskai Ascendancy shit) game the deck thinning won't change a single draw in like 95+% of games

>>46321141
>>46321143
Friendly reminder that the deck thinning provided by fetchlands is statistically insignificant.
They do really help smooth out your manabase, though.

>>46321166
>13% is negligible

>>46321160
>Who said this? Your opponent?
The local judge.
>If he's the only judge at the store and this is FNM or something, then ask him what better things he has to do, besides smoking pot during the round?
He's usually playing in his own tournament, and is only really around to answer rules questions and facilitate pairings.

>>46321176

>>46321200
If he's an official judge in a sanctioned event, and won't do his job, report him to Wizards. Doubly so if he's the only judge around and playing in his tournament. What happens if his opponent needs a judge call?

>>46321193
>Deck Thinning via Fetchlands provides a 1-4% higher chance of drawing a spell over a land.
You do know that more "significant" deck choices are made with similar if not worse deck odds?

For example: Horizon Canopies in G/W are ~1% improvements per $100+ card to the deck's chance of winning. The only people who think 1-4% better chances of winning are insignificant are the casual paupers who don't want to spend the money on objectively better cards.

>>46321307
The thing is, fetchlands actually have a downside. You don't see people running them in Legacy Death & Taxes just for the thinning effect, because it helps you less than the loss of life hurts you, unless you are also benefiting from the increased consistency of your manabase.

>>46321453
Because then it would just be legacy.

>>46321497
If legacy were affordable, why should we play modern?

>>46321453
I just don't appreciate Legacy as a format. The fast decks are faster, the combo decks are both more reliable and easier to hate, and the grindy decks aren't fun to play. Modern is my happy medium.

>>46321307
1-4% increased chance of drawing a spell, 5-50% closer to death. If you're running it SOLELY to thin your deck (in some kind of monocolor deck that doesn't care about lands in graveyard or being able to shuffle on command), then the life loss is more likely to be relevant than the deck thinning.

Deck thinning is just one of the incidental benefits you get if you're using fetches for what they're actually good for.

>>46321176
Idk man, if I get 2 lands out of my deck and I'm on the draw, and there's now 48 cards in my deck rather than 50, let's say 18 are now lands. That means that in the game where I have fetched I have a 37.5% chance to draw a land rather than a 40% chance to draw a land. Let's say in the scenarios where I'm firing off fetches I don't want land. That's 2.5% better than if I hadn't fetched, and that's a very common occurance, and most likely I'll be playing more fetches as the game goes on. But if just by playing 2 fetches I have increased my chance to draw a spell by 2.5%, then after 40 draws then I have essentially guaranteed myself a spell drawn over a land. I'm assuming that in a regular series that goes to 3, and that's not accounting for any other fetches, I have has at least 40 draws, unless I'm playing burn or the like. If every series I'm able to guarantee drawing a spell rather than a land by just playing 2 fetches, if not more which improve my odds even higher, then yeah that is definitely a card I want to be playing. Not even to mention the other benefits, but to say it's insignificant is totally wrong just by the quick calculations I've made here, and I'm sure if I went deeper into it I could find how when a game goes longer and you Crack even more fetches you're absolutely gaining a significant advantage had you not been playing fetches. I think you're wrong and you should retract your statement.

I would literally destroy this deck. I run sneak and show and I honestly see no way in which you could beat me.

2.5% is literally irrelevant

and drawing nonlands isn't even a complete upside, you often need to draw land

when you have opponents like that you can tell them to speed up their play.

if that doesn't work call a judge ask them to talk to you in private tell them about the slow play and ask for a time extensions.

>2.5 percent of every draw is irrelevant.
You realize 2.5% is pretty much the likeliness of drawing a card as a 4 of rather than a 3 of right? Completely irrelevant right lmao.
Also I already said that's assuming we don't want to draw land considering we played 2 fetches immediately.

Why do I care about my life total against decks like sneak and show, grishoalbrand, or even storm (arguably storm is the one that cares most about life total of those, but I would much rather have a smoother manabase and better draws). Even against Eldrazi, I'd rather have the benefit of fetches over trying to run a shoddy manabase. The thinning is just extra icing on the cake.

>>46322426
Just because it can be hated upon doesn't mean people want to fucking play against it. The same argument to hate-out Eggs exists, and nobody wants to fucking play against that deck.

It's bad enough that horseshit like Affinity, Burn, Infect, and Boggles exists where people just dump their hand onto the battlefield - and none of them have a universal hate even though the decks operate identically. I've ended games with and against those decks in less time it takes us to shuffle. I'm not interested in introducing Dredge just to have an even more non-interactive deck in the format.

I think that's the best argument against the eternal formats. Sometimes you'll show up at FNM or something for a night of Modern/Legacy and spend maybe 20 minutes playing.

>>46322561
Well, first of all this is the modern format, and we're talking about a format where 2 life can be very relevant.

>>46322489
statistically speaking you are not going to see that extra non-land draw into you are past turn 10 which is too late for modern. you will lose 3 life due to fetches in order to get that extra non-land draw.

deck thinning as an extra bonus to having better mana base and the like is ok but running fetches only for deck thinning is silly.

>>46322628
I never made the argument of running fetches solely for deck thinning. I said the deck thinning while miniscule isn't entirely irrelevant

Hand shuffling is the stupidest fucking twitch meme there is. What triggers me is the autists at FNM hand-shuffling all of a sudden, when you've seen them not doing months ago.

Last Friday I was playing against a 14/15 year old (playing budget burn, lel) and he was doing this shit. I asked him why he did it, and the response was "so you don't know what I'm drawing or considering". I told him he's playing burn, and he has a spell that deals 3 damage to me and a mountain. He slowed down on the random shuffling after that.

No, it's not. And the easiest way to tell is to watch the hand-shuffling opponent, who isn't even looking at you to gleam the information they're desperately trying to protect against. The information you need is available on the board.

>>46322900
I have a twitching problem. I drum fingers across the table, my leg shakes, sometimes I chew on my nails. And I know it bothers people so I expend every ounce of energy to not do it in public. The one tic I did not pick up was shuffling my hand like you see people do. I just put my hand down and just place my hands on the table. If they do something I just flip over the relevant removal or countermagic and tap my lands.

I have a predisposition to do that awful stuff and I find it annoying myself.

I suspect the reason why this shit is so rampant is because the people who play Magic don't have a lot of courtesy to begin with. Some people don't play with sleeves so it's obvious which cards in their deck are lands due to wear. Some people leave their fucking wrappers and food garbage all over the place at the end of each night. Some people don't push in their chairs. Some people just crack their packs and leave the dregs on the floor. Worse than all this is when people stack their lands in two piles: tapped and untapped - I want to see how many fucking lands you have and what they are; stop hiding them.

The shuffling motions are just another stupid piece of flourish bullshit to make a person look more fancy than they are.

I think this is the most triggering thing of all. Especially when they mash. And it's not Limited.

>>46323021
But they are valid. If someone draws a card, then play the card as a land, you know that the card they drew is a land. Of if someone brainstorms, and put two of the three cards he drew back, then decides to crack a fetchland, you would gather that the brainstorm didn't really give him anything good, or that his hand is better then the cards he got from brainstorm. Sure, maybe the information doesn't matter, but it could.

>>46323163
I don't care if they don't care about the value of their stupid cardboard. What I care about is their flagrant disregard for how they know exactly what they're drawing next turn because their lands are obviously more worn than their non-lands.

If you're new at the game fine. I'll let it slide because you're probably not willing to spend $5 or whatever it costs for 100 sleeves. But there's this faggot at my store who consistently does not play with sleeves and he does it to piss off people who can't stand seeing fetchlands or whatever get mashed around like that. And time and time again people have tried to explain that they're angry because he knows whether or not he's going to draw a fucking land or not each turn but he basically just goes, "u mad?" like he's succeeding in pissing us off.

It's just too much to fucking ask that people conduct themselves in some respectable manner. This doesn't just apply to Magic, anytime you go somewhere in public to do shit there are always faggots abound. I don't do shit without my friends or friends of friends. Trying to make friends from a pool of strangers is fucking suffering.

You could easily tell by just looking at your opponent, you retard, but at least you admit you're wrong.I don't do any of that btw, nor do I hand shuffle, except after I draw.

>>46323304
I didn't admit anything.

I'm willing to wager my entire collection that the majority of hand shufflers are only hand shuffling because the prevalence of online streaming and youtube videos has shown pro players hand shuffle. Out of that pool of players, I would also wager that the majority of these players will parrot the response that it "randomizes your hand".

My evidence for this claim is that I have observed people, at my local game store, pick up hand shuffling. Most notably when my LGS would stream Twitch channels on their big screen when match results/pairings/timers weren't being displayed. It is easily monkey-see monkey-do; before the prevalence of broadcasted games, people weren't fucking doing it, you newfag. Maybe instead of staring awkwardly at the table all Friday night, you look up at your opponent and your surroundings once in a whiile.

>You could easily tell by just looking at your opponent, you retard

There's no fucking judge out here man. He's been warned and he just keeps doing it.

Problem is, he constantly brings new people into the store to play. Store owner can't fucking stand him either but can't fucking lose the players who were brought in by this guy.

And I fucking put that on Wizards. So many stores cannot afford the attrition from players who look at the pricetag of a Standard deck and say, "fuck it". Not only do stores constantly have to fucking deal with socially inept nerds they have that pressure on them by Wizards to fire events on schedule or lose Wizards pricing. That combined with people bitching about the price of product (Canada's first world problems) compared to American prices and nobody knows what fucking MSRP is. All players know is what they read on Reddit and Reddit is one massive circlejerk about how generous stores are in big fucking cities with dozens of people turning out for FNM consistently.

I've quit showing up to Magic. It's gotten too hard. I fucking love this game so much and I can't put up with these people anymore.

How far are you from a city? I ask because I legitimately commute ~40 mins to the city to play FNM at one of five stores firing something for that very reason.

What I mean is, If they hand shuffled, then you wouldn't be able to tell what they draw simply by looking at your opponent.

Nice projecting. Besides, that's one of the reasons why people hand shuffle, so you can't get information by looking at them.

>My evidence for this claim is that I have observed people, at my local game store, pick up hand shuffling.

>>46324594
It's not that 4 horsemen might never win, it's that you cannot shortcut to the state where it does. It's impossible to say when the loop will end and what that end looks like. By the rules chosen this kind of play isn't allowed.

But we know that given enough loops we will eventually see the desired outcome, which is mill 3 narcos and a dread return and a wincon+hasty guy before emrakul shuffles the deck, in fact it should be less than 60 iterations.

>and what that end looks like

>WRONG, if you just said mill until 59 cards mill and no emrakul trigger, that's an end state you can state with perfect certainty and you can know the probability distribution and law of large numbers.
How many iterations of the loop are there? If you can't answer this, you can't shortcut to it.

Simple, yet effective, art.

>>46321092
They allow you to fix mana
Say if you're playing 4 or 3 colours, if you draw a blue fetch, you can get any blue land that is an island
Which, if your deck is mostly blue, is basically any dual land
Also, in legacy, it shuffles your deck, which is important for decks like Miracles, Canadian Threshold, and most combo decks as they generally brainstorm to dig for combo or counterspells. The shuffle effect allows you to keep digging off of a senseis divining top or similar card.
My Canadian Threshold deck runs 6 lands, 8 fetches and 4 lands that destroy other lands.

>existing in modern

>>46324888
You can tell the difference between a modern and legacy player by how they fetch
A legacy player turns their fetch and looks at their opponent, a modern player just graveyards it and starts looking
Its so funny when modern players start playing legacy and get stifled the first time

>>46321087
Preordain is better than Ponder.

>>46322964

Okay i'm going to give you some advice.

If you're going to make a deck do not make a worse version of a deck that already exists and tries to do the same thing.

>>46323974
That looks pretty badass outside of the big dumb chicken.

>>46324361

I find that the U Tron matchup against Infect is not so bad these days with Spatial Contortion being a card. It was the card U Tron needed for removal.

So I want to build a deck to fuck around with at FNM using
4 Endless One
4 Hangarback Walker
2-3 Restoration Angel
4 Enduring Renewal

What would be the best win condition to add here? As a side note Restoration Angel lets you play your Endless Ones and Hangarbacks as actual creatures if need be, since flickering one resets it at 0/0 and starts you off into a loop with Renewal.

>>46324784
Markov is a Russian name tho. Some Russians (and Eastern Europeans in general) can have dark skin similar to the pic. Of course being an American you wouldn't know what the real world outside looks like.

>>46325350

Depends though, if they cast a lump in response you only made them get 3 more power in. Spatial is very good vs burn and affinity though, I run 2 MD and 1 side

>>46325483
that synergy between endless one / walker and enduring renewal isn't even all that great

just do something stupid like enduring renewal + ornithopter + krark clan + fireball

>look at my old binder

God bless this format, you loveable bastards.

These two pages of Scalding Tarns are worth way more than I would have figured. Thought they'd stabilize at $20 a head.

Lol fucking Americans.

Also, Skred

>>46325839
Same guy, what is a "memescendancy"

>>46325889
Jeskai Ascendancy I assume

>>46325889

Either Jeskai Ascendancy combo or Jeskai Ascendancy Combo-Control.

There's also Ascendancy Ascension which is storm with Jeskai Ascendancy

>>46325889
I like you, glorious Anon! You're a shallow, precious child — the Ascendant — happy with the sweeping sound of words! But I am the Ascendancy! The Tiger-Force at the core of all things! When you cry out in your dreams — it is MEMES that you see!

>>46325906
I don't know what any of those do, I have literally zero knowledge of the Modern Metagame

>>46325903
It can probably work well with that enchantment which turns all your creatures into mana dorks, or with Noyan dar

>>46325906
Double ascension is pretty cool imo.
Control variant is fake and gay, get those counterspells outta my sight.

>>46325808
It is very good against creature based deck.
It gets rekt by tron and combo deck but with the right sideboard.
Don't let the meme be dream.

>>46325822

This desu

The deck has great plays and is pretty strong game 1 because all that attrition will eventually lead you to win the game.

Game 2 though, hope you like #thestruggle because you're in for a bad time playing around RIP and Relic of Progenitus. Will be the main reason why the deck isn't that played.

Ironically, ever since it placed top 8 in GP Melbourne and it gained traction, it became weaker since everyone is now aware of the Loam Dredge meme.

>>46319503

>What card do you think is guaranteed a ban next week?
Meta answer - Eye of Ugin, possibly also Eldrazi Temple based on how much WotC thinks we want this deck dead.
Personal answer - I've been talking a lot with my community about Inkmoth Nexus getting a ban. A free uncounterable 1/1 infect with evasion that also produces mana and doesn't die to sorcery speed creature removal is a bit of a stretch in the top two decks that play it (For the Ill-informed, Affinity and Infect). A ban of this wouldn't kill either deck outright, but certainly slow them down to the point that control decks may have a chance (wishfulthinking.jpg.)

>Assuming Eldrazi is kill, what sideboard cards are you removing?
Jundfag here, so i'm gonna try and stop making Big Game Hunter work in the deck. If Eldrazi isn't completely kill (Lose eye, keep temple), i could see me keeping the extra terminates and thoughtseizes.

>What are you hoping gets unbanned?
Meta answer - Twindindunuffinheagoodboy.
Personal answer - Personally i want BeeBee back, and i'd actually like to see some non-twin control decks pop out of the frey. Let JTMS off the leash, see if he breaks everything, if he doesn't then we have a new deck varient. If he does, WotC is in no position to judge after Eldrazi Winter.

>If you're an Eldrazi memester, what deck are you moving on to?

Have the shell, thinking of investing in City of Traitors to play the deck in legacy. Seems a lot fairer in a format with Wasteland.

Thoughts?

>>46325912

Look the decks up. Jeskai Ascendancy is a combo deck that takes advantage of mana dorks and cantrips to draw you the entire deck, produce absurd mana and either kill with a 20/20 mana dork or flung with a 20 power dork.

The control-combo version has a plan B backup with Unburial Rites and has a control shell.

I want to try and combine this with Knightfall for the ULTIMATE OVERMEME. They both run the same four colors anyway.

Tap mana, draw cards, sac lands.

>>46325975
Darkdwellers Boom/Bust is maximum overmeme

Rule question : If something has prot against a color, does it have prot against multicolored spells that have this color ?

For example : Is Kor Firewalker immune to Lightning Helix ?

>>46326008
Nah it's all good bro

>>46326008
yes

>>46326023
>>46326024

Make up your mind

>>46325775
Too many moving parts. The 0/0s are good in the deck because they remove the need for a sac outlet.

I've actually somewhat decided on UW with Altar of the Brood as the win condition. Maybe strip the deck down a bit and rely on Trinket Mages to fetch Needle/Altar/Walker as part of a Trinket Angel setup. Might be a fun deck for blind metas/fucking around, if not a competitively tuned one.

>>46326032
They are both wrong, Helix is half red and half white so it does 1.5 damage to a Kor firewalker.

>>46326038
Topkek

>>46326038
no no no, it only has protection from the red part of the spell

Lightning Helix targetting Kor Firewalker just gains you 3 life

>>46325722

Yeah that's why you cast the Spatial Contortion on your turn and not theirs, just like Bolt there's times when you need to cast instant removal on your turn and not theirs. This way if they pump it up in response then you're safe since they're not attacking you anyway.

>>46319642
Last time I played a 'casual' modern deck they produced artifact affinity with a pile of artifact lands in it. Pointed out that it wasn't remotely fair because these things were all on the ban list and was told that they didn't bother with that stuff and 'we just play with what we like'.

And there's me thinking casual players just wanted to play their goofy Minotaur tribal decks and shit.

When playing casuals its a good idea to get an idea of the ground rules before you start or you get people whining to use their busted deck and then boasting how great they are when they thrash you.

>>46326107

True. It's not like they'll cast apostles blessing anyway, shits colorless

>>46326008

Okay I think everyone else has had their fun.

Ask yourself this. Does Kor Firewalker have Protection from Red? Yes. What colours does Lightning Helix have? Red and White. This means it is both a Red and a White spell. Protection from Red means it can't be targetted by Red spells, since Helix is both a Red and a White spell it fulfills the criteria of not being able to target Kor Firewalker with red spells.

I'm building an Emrakul Polymorph deck using Khalni Garden, possibly Flayer Husk, Awakening Zone and Call the Scions to provide creatures (and ramp to an extent), some green ramp/fixing cards, Growth Spasm is good, and then various blue stuff to search the top of the deck for Polymorph, I'm also considering Bring to Light or Clutch of the Undercity to double up on my chances of playing a Polymorph by the fourth turn, unless there's alternatives in missing. I have some counter magic in the form of Mana Leak, Remand and am considering Pact of Negation in sideboard at least. Does all this add up to something playable? What are my greatest threats?

I want to buy into Kiki Chord. Stop me/sell me. It doesn't have much results lately, but if Boohoogland top8'd three SCG opens in a row, it has to be a decent deck. Especially after memedrazi gets banned.

>>46326645

Don't buy into anything until the bannings on the 4th, period. Meta and market freezes until then unless you're a filthy speculator

Prizes go down on culprits like eye or temple. This is actually the best time to buy drazi pieces like TKS at Rock bottom prices since everyone's trying to get off the sinking ship. If they ever ban eye, expect Vesuva to spike to 35 bucks or more, and if neo-drazi ft Vesuva and Temple manages to be decent, drazi pieces will stabilize again.

>>46326718
vesuva comes tapped, which is a fucking huge deal in a deck that revolves around smashing your face with big creatures as soon as possible
