Quell yourself edition

So one of my friends wanted to get into MTG, and since me and a few buddies are generally standard players we were going to brew him something from the newer sets.

So this guy starts throwing commons and shit in a pile and im like thats not gonna be fun to play at all. Its about as boring as an intro deck, just plopping down low power creature. Then I thought why not brew some "competitive" intro deck? Something that features many card types, keywords, and interactions to get them used to the game? So I made this.

It actually turned out pretty sweet. He learned a lot very quickly as well. At this point though I am just wondering if there is any obvious mistakes with the list or if it can be refined? Cause he enjoys the deck a lot and I might end up just giving it to him as a jumping off point. Any advice?

>>48590575
Looks cute. You really don't have any discard outlets for the Pariah though, so she's not as synergistic as one'd wish her to be. Still, she's a cool card and this looks fun. Maybe he can even win a game or two at FNM against some shitty madness or emerge list.

>>48590575
Too much of the deck is 3-4 drops, you're not going to get stuff on the tabke early game. A decent human is Thalia's Lieutenant, currently a low value rare but solid with all the human creatures in there. Use these in place of the huge vampire, you'll probably lose games before you get any use from it.

I need help. It's pretty consistent, but I feel the Wincon of "slam with bodies" might not be enough. It's so far pretty good at keeping the board clean, though. Problem: ganes tend to be close, down to 5ish life in most cases. I want another thought- knot seer, but dunno what to take out for it.

Brought this to monday night magic for the first time yesterday.

Lost 1-2 to b/w midrange

won 2-1 to bant coco

lost 1-2 to sultai control

and won 2-1 against devils goggles.

Anyone have any suggestions for FNM? i was thinking about swapping the exquisite firecrafts for draconic roars.

Falkenreath Gorger, Olivia, and Drana. Any of those would instantly improve your deck. Drop the Pariahs. All of them.

Why the fuck would you ever SIDEBOARD Ob over a fucking Pariah?
>>
>>48594583
So I drop the Pariahs for 3 Falkenreath Gorgers. I have 2 Olivias already, should I get 2 Dranas and drop the Haunted Deads?
>>
Which is better to open; A foil rare or a mythic?
Which is rarer; a Foil rare or a mythic?
>>
Can I get some help on my standard deck. Looking for some suggestions on improving for FNM and cutting the deck down to 60 cards.

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/02-08-16-mono-blue-brain/
>>
>>48594964
It's better to open a mythic than a foil rare because mythics most often have a majority of the value.
Foil rares are rarer than mythics. You get one foil anything every 8 boosters and 1 mythic every 8 boosters. There's like a 1/14 chance your foil is on a rare slot instead of the 3/14 chance for an uncommon rare and the 5/7 chance for a foil common.
>>
>>48594132

I'd drop the Incendiary Flow for Draconic Roar personally, 4 damage is nothing to scoff at in one card. With Incendiary you would stay on the same mana curve (which looks decent as is).
>>
>>48594964
>>48595099

It varies. If I opened a Tree of Perdition I'd not be too thrilled. On the other hand, if I opened a Foil Spell Queller I would be ecstatic. Depends on the Value of the card, there are junk mythics and junk rares. Sometimes a foil of 1 is not worth the value of the other.
>>

Foil selfless spirit versus foil noosegraf mob versus Emrakul versus spidey.

Olivia's dragoon could replace the skeletons and is a common. It could help madness out the pariah on curve. Caves of koilos, shambling vents and forsaken sanctuaries could help with the mana.
>>
Come to think of it Ayli could be fun in that list.
>>
>>48595065
Still need some help, if anyone is willing. Not sure what to cut.

I'll definitely give it a shot. Thanks.
>>
>>48598394

Yeah I probably should have explained my reasoning.

I think vampires and madness in general lend themselves to a faster deck, with a lower curve and emphasis on creatures. I've tried Midrange vampires and they always have muddy draws and never really come together too well.

Theres that Japanese pariah deck I urge you to try if your interested in Midrange but it's mono black and pretty linear.
>>
>>48598436
What do you run in your sideboard?
>>
>>48598516

Post board you kind of want to just bring in cards that help against local meta issues. You honestly want to stay fast so dropping some 1 drops for collected defiance isn't super optimal.

I'm not concrete on a side but I'll look into posting a balanced one when I can.

My problem is not having enough cards that people actively want, so I don't think I can offset the cost of shipping enough to make it worth it. For example, if I spent 2.50 or 3.99 shipping 150 points of cards, I've lost a dollar or two without gaining anything.

Hmm. Probably 3 land, an erdwal, a magnifying glass, a weirding wood, and an ongoing investigation/ulvenwald mysteries. You need an absurd amount of mana to get anything done with this deck, so it's best to get ramping early.

Fucked around with this a bit in Forge to great success. Played a bit of kitchen counter to great success too but haven't taken this to FNM or anything yet.

Yo Standard dudes, I haven't played this game in years:

But I am going to a draft tonight. You just buy any three packs you want and play with them, but the store only has stuff from the last couple of sets.

Which recent set should I draft with (assuming everybody else is doing Eldritch Moon/SOI) to either fuck with everybody or open the bombest of bombs?
Is there a recent set with a high limited power level?
>>
>>48606390
>You just buy any three packs you want and play with them
are you sure?
this sounds like a nightmare
>>
>>48606437
It's been a while, but that is how that shop did it last time I drafted there.
>>
>>48606390
>draft
Don't draft. It's a waste of money to have all your non-color correct rares get stolen by the guy sitting next to you and leaving with a feeling of utter defeat if you lose.
>>
>>48606503
I'm very good at limited and we are rare redrafting so I'm not worried about that.
Also I don't play this game anymore, I just want a quick fix.

Also "don't draft" sounds like terrible advice to anyone. Drafting is fun and far better than just cracking packs (hell, take those off colour rares for value if you really care).
>>
>>48606579
>rare redrafting
So winner picks up the best mythic pulled and everyone at the lower 5 get 30¢ bulk rares? Seems fair *sarcasm*
>>
>>48606631
It's definitely not fair and I wouldn't recommend new players go to drafts that do rare redrafts.

But I usually place well so it just works to my benefit.
>>
>>48601423
I don't know who I would drop for it, but I have a couple and it looks like it would make a good choice. Especially if I sac a matter reshaper to it. Thank you.

Plus a toolkit has several cards that aren't standard legal, and not enough fuplicates to form a viable deck. You can't have a singleton deck in Standard and expect to win.

they never buy packs or anything because they know singles are cheaper online
maybe they throw in a 5 or 10 for tournament fees
if they even show up for stuff that involves spending money

>why do owners even let these fucking mongoloids into their store?

It's to give off the illusion of popularity, anon. If their store is full of people playing games, it looks like they're a successful business, which means random people are more likely to walk in and buy a starter deck or something. Every single store owner I've ever talked to has explained the same problem to me: they absolutely hate collectible games and the crowd that plays them because the players never buy any shit in-store, but they HAVE to let them play there in order to get randoms to wander in.

They can't pay the bills without letting these people (who don't even spend any money in their store) hang out in their store. Sometimes all day. It's fucked up.

It exists (if by 'viable', you mean 'tier 2'), anon, for those who have the moxie and skill to build it correctly. The reason you don't see it is because all of the good players know that better decks exist, so it ends up being built by the autistic trash-tier players.

>why do store owners let them in

idk about everyone else but my local store doesn't put up with shit ever

I live in Montana but I live in a University town so we have a fairly large influx of young people here every year so we always have a fresh supply of mtg players as well as the wierd 40+ year olds that stick around and play

recently the block store Hastings has gone bankrupt and the store is closing. With Hastings closing there are now only 2 shops left in my town that run FNM. One is on the opposite side of town from the Uni and the other (the one I go to) is like 3 blocks from my house and around 6 blocks from the uni

We have kicked out and banned any players that don't meet two fairly easy standards

1. Hygiene (clean yourself, idiot)
2. Don't be an asshole (if you have to ask you are probably fucking up, idiot)


and thats it
I had a few friends that would try and attend multiple tournaments and catch FNM at both stores. They are telling me now that they actually cannot stand the other store because all the mongoloids that we have banned from the good one are now shitting up the other place

I also heard they may be shutting down soon too since those fucks never actually buy anything

It's impossible to do it unless your opponent is playing the same deck. Either they have a fast clock and it doesn't matter if you use Whelming Wave or not, or they can disrupt your hand. If you don't believe me, watch LSV playing the deck. He went 0-3.

>>48609459
I was running that version that was featured in goldfish, the original decklist. Either you had Brain in a Jar, Whelming Wave, or the deck was too slow. Either you couldn't get enough value or they got their tempo going and you lost anyway.
Now I'm running a more recent version, this one https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/438421#paper with two less Islands and a few SB changes.
>>
>>48609567
>https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/438421#paper

Not a fan of that one. It aims for an awakened land victory. Which is good. But really requires getting out Jace's Sanctum early and probably multiple. With Dromoka's Command Main Boarded in Bant Humans and Bant CoCo, you just get your Santum's wiped. Making it nearly impossible to finish the game. And since they know you will be running Sanctum's even post sideboard they will still have the Dromoka's Command so you can't even sideboard in the Thing in the Ice because Dromoka's is the kill card against it.

My LGS upcharges for almost everything so people naturally don't want to buy their snacks all the time except in emergency or for getting rewards points (5 points for every interval of 5 spent above 10; 15 = 10 points). I bring in water bottles for when I come in but so does everyone else, it's only smart since our city is like a rainforest.

I'll say that they don't upcharge for stuff like sleeves or deckboxes, and actually beat out Walmart for MtG boosters (3.99 vs 4.10).

They're super cool and let players order pizza delivery to the store but I don't know how much this pisses them off behind the scenes. People sure aren't stiffing them on actual game material or comic book sales, as they charge 25-35 cents for singles you can get on TCG for 8 cents, or 2-3 dollars more for midrange rares, scaling higher for rarity.

Can this somehow be good in a midrange deck? I was messing around with this in a seasons past deck and it fucks people over with how long it can drag things out
>>
>>48608158
honestly all my stores are very nice, they all have respectable customers, almost no one is ever rude.
Every once in a while someones salty but at that point it never escalates to anything.
All stores are able to ship out packs, merch, and especially singles, they all compete with the online mid from tcgplayer, so getting them at the store is sometimes cheaper cause it saves you shipping or they just have it on demand, which is nice.
One of my local one make pancakes or waffles every week or so, just as a thanks for the business, and has an internet cafe portion that lets you play overwatch, league, wow, etc.
Another one is attached to an Ultra Arcade, with classics to modern game, they sell bubble tea, and other snacks, and will let you bring in anything, from pizza to booze, plus they tend to go another 5% lower than the average price for a single, so a Lili would be like 38$ instead of 40$, and thats the same for all there singles, and they even sell online, incase you cant physically get to the store.
Other store also has a few computers to play on as well as consoles anyone can get on to play the latest games like smash 4 or CoD, and they have a large selection of singles, also fairly priced, and have TV, so they'll have WWE Smackdown or NBA, or NFL just broadcasting, and if the weekend, live streaming the SCG Open, Grand Prixs, or whatever while you play magics. Only one person on average smells and not all the time either, since they're usually aware they're the only one that smells they actually come back next time all showered up.
There's 2 stores that arent that great, despite the mass amount of variety of product they have(like figurines, body pillows, comics, etc) But that's only cause the Yugioh crowd and the store owners general laziness/imcompetency.
And one average store, but they have a lot of different table top diversity, not just magic, so if warhammer, and other games like such are ur schtick then u'd just go there.
>>
>>48612350
It's only really good vs decks that are aggro based and utilize on time cards for burn or ping to the face, as it effectively 'counters' them when you gain the life back. Unfortunately burn isn't to relevant this standard, maybe Kaladesh will make red great again and on that note this as well by correlation.

Okay, this is not even close to Affinity Ravager or Caw-Blade. Don't forget that Bant Company was also easily the most played and dominant deck during SOI standard until the Pro Tour, where it was supplanted by GW Tokens. The same thing will happen by the end of this weekend, and you'll feel like an idiot for complaining when you the pros show what the actual busted decks are.

And don't complain about Siege Rhino either. Abzan Control was an imminently beatable deck if you played G/r Devotion, Esper, UR Tutelage, etc. It was the most consistent deck for cashing, but it was far from unbeatable.
>>
>>48612695
L2R ffs, I said that the Rhino meta, despite rhinos being strong, were at least beatable, there was atarka red, sidisi whip, a lot of ways to interact in control, like Disdainful stroke, and black actually had good removal.

Secondly, I said worse ins comparison, not worst, completely different, if I said worst, then yes, you could call me out on the caw blade, but I said worse than the MemeRhino era, and again, like I said, the other colors of the pie were able to hold their own.

Lastly, Bant company got so many toys from this set, is still taking up a majority of the top 8 slots in opens and other tournies, meanwhile GW tokens is still strong but didn't really add anything to their roster, Bant can literally play their entire deck at instant speed after a certain point, and now have answers to what used to be the answers to bant company, i.e Spell Quller, Selfless Spirit, Thalia, etc., I'm curious on how GW got 1st this last open, but even then there were much more bant company listings in the top 8 then there were other decks. Not only that I also already mentioned that GW tokens was strong to the post you replied to.

I guess the point I was trying to make was that Meme Rhino era was actually probably the best that Standard has ever been, and that's coming from someone who has been playing since Urza's block. Think about SOI Standard - it was dominated by GW Tokens and Bant. Think about BfZ Standard - dominated by Rally. Think about RTR-Theros Standard - dominated by Black/Blue Devotion. Think about prior to that - every format has had a 'dominant' deck. That's the nature of having a format with a small card pool, and it's only really a problem when a deck becomes truly oppressive and can't be attacked on any angles (Of recent note, Rally was more guilty of this than Bant, by far). Beating Bant is incredibly simple, and the Pro Tour will demonstrate that fact. Yes, it's over-represented right now... but the format is still fine.

Why not Insolent Neonate for Menace+looting effect as well as a 1 drop?
>>
>>48599241

Why bother with this when you can use Omnath and Emrakul's Evangel to make the opponent take a bajillion damage?
>>
>>48607427

There's a whole heap of decks using CoCo in Modern.
>>
>>48616289

Omnath and his Elementals do damage, but I fail to see how it interacts with Emrakul's Evangel... Unless you mean, put all lands from graveyard back to the battlefield then sac them with evangel?
>>
>>48616379

Emrakul's Evangel ability readys "Sacrifice Emrakul's Evangel and any number of non-Eldrazi creatures, you get a 3/2 Eldrazi Horror creature for each creature sacrificed this way"

Omnath reads "Whenever Omnath or an Elemental creature you control dies, he deals 3 damage to target creature or player"

So either you beat their ass down with Elementals or you blow up all the elementals on the entire board and have Omnath's trigger go off a bajillion times.
>>
>>48616406

So then in your original post >>48616289
you need some way of generating a ton of land during 1 turn, aka >>48599241 green meme card to generate all the elementals. Otherwise you're only getting the standard 1-2 a turn, w/o instants/sorcs like explosive veg

Works better imho with nantuko/noose constrictor as you can just overrun with the constrictor and if you're a zulaport guy, well it's over anyways by then.

Hey /standard/

I've been playing around with Magic Origins and I'm surprised how much I've enjoyed playing Emerging Horror. I originally figured Emerge was just a shitty 2 for 1 mechanic, but playing the deck and getting card advantage from sacrificing and upon casting (meaning even if the emerged creature is countered, I still either have things come into play, draw a card, etc) has really made me turn around on it. Do you think it's possible to put together a solid budget Emerge deck in standard? Or is this something that will only work in Magic Origins?

>you need some way of generating a ton of land during 1 turn

Not a ton but you need stuff to start doing it straight away which is exactly what Magmatic Insight and Gather the Past do. The funny thing is that somehow in brewing and testing i've actually just remade RG Ramp deck that's already in standard but i ended up reversing the way it ramps, as in it ramps by lands entering from the graveyard rather than the library.

The real problem i'm facing is that i'm finding a lack of permanent or land sac outlet to truly abuse this shenanigan.

Alright, I've drank the R/B madpires koolaid, using a similar list to the guy who made day 2 at SCG with it.

White weenie is losing all its early beaters in the coming rotation, I hope madpires can supplant it as go-to early aggro thanks to new toys like condemned and furyblade vampires

It's also the only deck that gets to play lightning bolt in standard thanks to fiery temper, which is nice.

Most of my valuable cards are DFCs like Avacyn and Gisela which don't go in my deck as my sleeves aren't opaque enough. It makes the decision really easy as I can doublesleeve the valuables while not making my deck bulkier.

Also my Avacyns and Gisela's are foil so it's really a must, it's stops them from curling.

Meh, it's super hit or miss. Most of the time they end up being random in the wrong ways like the winner of the event being based on which packs their tables drafted.

No, meme decks are shit like U/G tentacles
>>
>>48632090
lel Wizards trying to cover up the fact that 80% of the meta is Bant Company. It's like Modern all over again, labeling Infect and Affinity as Combo decks and trying their hardest to name Eldrazi decks anything other then "color X/color Y Edrazi" during Eldrazi winter.

That's not a problem, the problem is when i've played too many lands I need to find a way to dump them back in the graveyard again from the battlefield so i can slam them into play again all at once to trigger a crazy amount of landfall triggers for Omnath. Like this is ridiculously silly combo but i'm going to try and make it work if possible.

Most of the pros are either on RG, BG or RUG delirium with Emrakul as like a 3 of in there lists. It wrecks coco.
>>
I said in way back in a bunch of old threads that BG(or delirium decks) for that matter are a real deal when I posted a quick 10 minute list. I wasn't however expecting however a spicy RG delirium ramp or even a RUG version. I had never even considered such variants.

So is there any reason not to play a Languish deck? Why should I bother trying to out-creature your creatures when I can just play a boardwipe and get a three-for-one?
Is Seasons Past the best Languish deck?
>>
Should I buy a box of EMN, just get singles or get the box and locate the mythics, draft with the rest?
>>
The problem with GB delirium is that bant company decks (especially humans) can race them and win. Mirror matches were always got them muddled up.
>>
>>48630855
Similar, major difference is 4 Olivia's Dragoon in the main for unlimited free discard outle
>>
>>48635457
CoCo decks get languished and then EoT company themselves into something stupid like a thalia and a sylvan advocate and then hit you for 7 anyways.

Did they do a decktech with LSV? Haven't been able to watch and curious what he's playing

It's a vanilla bant company with some tamiyos added.

This card saved my life earlier.
>>
>>48634255
It's gone past. Approaching $40 now.

Pro tip: buy Kozilek's Return. Emrakul or Deep Fiend triggering it is the most powerful play in the format right now. Can't even be countered by Spell Queller as it's a trigger.

Deep Fiend is gonna move too, it's up to 5 now from 3 and seeing play in all the emerge decks and some Bant Coco. Traverse is only about 2-3 but will definitely double as it's a 4-of.
>>
>>48638462
Forgot to add, Return is the safest investment because it's a mythic from a set that isn't drafted anymore. The others are pure hype. Owen is 8-0 with the deck and the other pilots are doing well too. Deck is designed to beat the Delirum and Coco decks

That card is bad no matter the scenario. You never learn.

I just realized Emrakul has protection from instants because he can't be Murdered.

You better have protection from instants after making a shit joke like that
>>
I would like to return to playing magic (probably standard for the time being), have no legal cards but don't really want to play beyond FNM level too. Is it better to start of by doing limited (like Kaladesh pre-release and drafts) to get some cards for brewing or just buy the cards for a deck?
>>
Everyone bitching about Company call me when rotation happens and the meta becomes turn three Reflector Mage, turn four Elder Deep-Fiend tap four things.
>>
Looking for input on this list. It feels pretty good against Bant, but idk if that's confirmation bias or not.

Mardu Control
1x Emrakul, the Promised End
4x Evolving Wilds
3x Fiery Impulse
3x Goblin Dark-Dwellers
2x Grasp of Darkness

Lol i still remember the days when ppl at my lgs said to everyone we should buy titi cause it would break the format.

What format do you want to play? If you don't know, then yes attending prereleases and drafts is an ok way to get back into it.

I've wanted to get into mtg for a long time now, but don't really know how. I've played the computer version a bit but I honestly feel like physical cards would be much more fun. I want to keep it low-key though, I am not going to join my schools card club. Any advice?

RUG, BUG, or BUR Madness Eldrazi?

I'm thinking of making budget golgari sac deck based around Nantukos and Rot Shamblers.

But the question is how do i fit into that deck shit allowing me to put the damage into my opponents face without being blocked that doesn't take spot of removal or garveyard interaction.

Ideas?
>>
>>48644837
Rogue's Passage
>>
>>48644883
Anything else than that?

Shit that costs me more mana than 3 is From Beyond only and the deck has lots of low cost creatures like Blisterpods and Reassembling Skellymans, so I will usually need that mana open.
>>
Just made a weird Jeskai Prowess/Control deck that works fairly well. It offers a bit more finesse and thinking than my UR Prowess zergfest.

Can't wait to see it get crushed by a Bant CoCo, though.
>>
>>48634033
I'm with you on that I tried making my own mock up of it with subbing in gitrog also to get land sac.

>>48649369

>>48649409
yea, that's me kek. flipped brisella at standard on tuesday and amazed my table. only went 1-3 overall though
>>
>>48649419
Have in there, anon. Maybe next rotation the R/W pain train will get better.

Hell, it performs stupidly well in draft, there's got to be something good for Standard in there.
>>
>>48649473
Kaladesh will reveal the most powerful r/w combo of them all. Turtle tribal.
>>
>>48649498
Do we even know any of the upcoming tribes in Kaladesh?
>>
>>48649507
not that I'm aware of. I think the only thing spoiled is the planeswalker they showed off when they first announced it, and even that is just a picture, no stats
>>
>>48649521
I'm sure it'll happen. I'm thoroughly interested in Kaladesh mechanically and flavour-wise. I'm just not looking forward to that shitty plot.
>>
Yo guys when will the best time be to get rid of my emrakul? I just randomly bought one for my edh deck on Thursday for 7€ and now suddenly it's going nuts overnight.
>>
>>48650488
Tomorrow.
>>
>>48649507

Probably Thopter's, Artificers and more Humans.
>>
>>48649266

>pull Liliana

Sell her, she's a money card

Not a single vampire deck brought to the pro tour. Well, hopefully it can do well at FNM or I just stand there like an idiot wit my dick out
>>
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/05-08-16-tales-from-the-crypt/

My current zombie deck.
Has worked well so far.
Love discarding Prized amalgam to bring haunted dead back to the battlefield.
For 2 mana, I can generate at least 3 creatures and potentially up to 6 creatures in an opponents turn. Add Elder deep fiend to that and you've potentially ended a game.
