RG energy aggro and some weird UG energy build. Dunno what the goal is but it runs a few hanweir garrisons for aggressive pushes and then has a lot of mana fixing for the red and blue, thinking of splashing black for live fast.

1. Play drafts or sealed constructed (varies in price, but drafts are around $10 per person and sealed constructed is about $20)
1.5. GO TO PRERELEASES! VERY HIGH VALUE EVENTS!
2. Use Xmage or Cockatrice for free online MTG play
3. Play Standard with cheap tiered decks (some of the good decks are only like 100 bucks)
4. Don't get into older formats unless you've amassed a large sum of money

Running an Eldritch Evolution deck that plays sort of like Birthing Pod. There's finally enough really good ETB triggers and value creatures to run a toolbox sort of thing. Demon of Dark Schemes and the G/B Gearhulks are really good.

Overall, it's lit.

Second, what do you all think is the best Greenhulk deck?

Brazen Scourge or Geier Reach Bandit for RG aggro? Bandit is 2R compared to Scourge's 1RR. Scourge has 3 toughness compared to Bandit's 2 toughness. The deck runs Kessig Prowler so it can technically run some synergy there if there's some fucking chance my opponent has a stroke mid game and passes turn without playing spells turn 3 that allows me to flip bandit and start swinging harder and flipping prowler on etb.

Or should I scrap both and shove Fleetwheel cruisers into the deck?

Mono red. I really just want to turn bomat couriers, scourge wolfs and lathnu hellions sideways while getting gas back with collective defiance.

I'm not running Chandra, Sculptor of Defiance, as it's expensive both mana wise and money wise. I do, however, want to get all of my cards before the Grand Prix, as I think the most expensive card in the deck is collective defiance or falkenrath gorger.

It's not exactly a brew anymore, but I'm playing UR Thermochaser.

I know it's a pauper deck but it's a standard too.
I never played blue before so I don't really know cards and aspiring aeronaut rotated out of standard.
I tought about spamming with artifacts and bomb with gearseeker but it seems to be a bad strategy. Should I change blue for a color that has a better synergy with white artifacts?
>>
>>49600714
played white eldrazi/big white on friday and went undefeated, so I will probably just keep playing that till the protour. Currently I am brewing RG energy aggro just so I have another deck, maybe I'll throw together that shitty storm deck too just to fuck with some people.

Vehicles are ironically too slow. Greier reach bandit wins simply because it's much easier to cast, a 1RR can be a dead 3 drop very easily.

Also I hope you're running Lathnu hellions because as far as 3 drops go it's better than both of the above.

I don't know if I should be running Hissing Quagmire.

I'm running a G/B sacrifice/midrange with 24 lands and a bit of ramp. It's obviously good as a mana sink, but I'm worried it might be too slow. It's no Needle Spires, after all.

Thoughts?

>>49600661
so, I decided to partake in a booster draft for Kaladesh. What am I in for? I've never drafted.
>>
>>49605665
your deck is midrange, you can afford tapped lands and it fixes your mana. Activating it is just upside for very little opportunity cost. If it fixes your mana and you don't activate it a single time in a game it was still worth it. Every activation is just added bonus.
>>
>>49605665
I would. Manlands are really, really good. It helps you if you're mana-flooded and makes it more difficult for your opponent to figure out their attacks. Of course it fixes your mana a little too. Coming in tapped is worth it for a midrange deck I think.
>>
>>49605665
>it's no needle spires

You're running a slow, midrange deck. You don't need your manlands to hit hard, you need your manlands to fix your mana and save you from stronger creatures.

I mean, the quagmire has fucking deathtouch. It's going to trade with a fattie.

Was going to build Grixis control, but I don't know if I should. Already bought a ton of UR cards and never played them before rotation. I could probably finish my Grixis deck for $80 (2x Kalitas, 2x Torrential Gearhulk, 1x Saheeli Rai, and a dozen cheap rares). Not sure what my local meta is like, as I have played standard since Khans rotated.
>>
>>49601247
My build has Village Messengers aswell as Kessig Prowlers as 1-drops. I feel Geier Reach Bandit is justified since it makes the 1-drops worse top decks later if it has flipped. Most removal spells hit for 3 so I don't feel like the Scourge is that much better.

Yes. Once it has entered the battlefield, its ability triggers and you can do nothing to stop that outside of very few niche methods.

So those counters will inevitably go on to another creature.

There's an upside though.

Conspiracy and Modern / Eternal Masters are reprint sets, so the cards in them aren't legal unless they've already been printed in that format. In your duel deck for example, Nissa, Voice of Zendikar is standard legal because she was printed in OGW. Crop Rotation hasn't been printed since Urza's Legacy, so it's not legal in standard or modern.

Fun fact, Copter triggers on attacking or blocking.

So even if you could knock three power off, they are still looting.

Looting has always been powerful. Merfolk Looter its self was in tons of decks and getting it off of anything as a side effect is pure upside. Repeated card selection is really fucking good, be it Scry, Looting or Rummaging (discard first, then draw).

>>49601531
Super late reply, I know, but the painlands being gone is actually one of the best things that could have happened to a triskaidekaphobia deck. The biggest barrier to the deck is that often the opponent would have a painland, and then you could literally never win. Losing access to your own painlands is a small price to pay for locking your opponent out of painlands. Plus Command rotated, which means vastly less incidental enchantment hate.

Standard right now is really green dominated. If you like playing aggro, GW is for you.
If you like sorta burn, sorta tempo, there is UR thermo visions which basically is just a tempo deck using Thermo Alchemist and Fevered Visions as the usual win condition, + a bunch of spells.
If you want control, there is a decent WB angels I think.

Just pick whatever color you want and just roll with it. Green if you want to go bigger and white for removal seems like it'd be good.

Well, that and no nobles. Or any kind of decent mana dorks whatsoever
>>

That's the only good card you have opened. If you want to run it you will probably need grim flayers and sylvan advocates.

My Smuggler's Copter would like to have a word with you

>Grim Flayer
>Sylvan Advocate
Well, I'll use it as exchange fodder then
>>
>>49618306
What if I chose blue and white and added skyspawners?

Then I could throw in blue control and white removal with decent board presence. I would just be stretching my landbase thin.
>>
>>49618413

I guess that works. Skyspawners seem really good with copters, so I'd work on getting them as well, and there actually is a solid drawspell in the format now. It even has some interaction with Aether Hub, which might be the best land in your deck.
>>
Am I the only one going with the Standard Storm meme?
The UB version with contraband kingpin is really fun to play
>>
>>49618514
Like, you can't cast enough spells in one turn to make use of that thing. 2 mana draw spell into 2 mana draw spell doesn't get you very far. If you had a lot of cheap instants I could understand it because you can cast them all in response to the Reservoir triggers to gain extra health, but Standard doesn't have good cheap instant speed draw.
>>
>>49618551
Well it's a combo deck so you need to have the cards in hand at once, but the scry and the 2 mana artifact-draw gets you there pretty fast
>>
>>49618626
>Well it's a combo deck
How do you plan on casting like 8-9 things in one turn in Standard? You may as well just play a faster deck.
>>
>>49615681
>>49615779
Meant better. The 2/2 menace has better chance of getting through late than a 1/1 haste. Geir Reach Bandit flipping is unlikely but it's still easier to cast than the Brazen Scourge. Here's my list:

This Standard is really weird compared to previous standards: midrange literally doesn't exist.
Why? Well, here's the thing. Aggro decks know they have to get home by turn 5, and many of them are packing vehicles like Smuggler's Copter. Midrange doesn't have a card like Siege Rhino to counter these strategies right now. Longer-term decks like Delirium also kill Midrange, as landing an Emrakul typically just ends the game.
What's left? Hard aggro decks, Emrakul decks (Aetherworks Marvel is definitely a thing, Delirium still exists) that win long games, and probably some form of Eldrazi decks. There may also be some Planeswalker control or Crush decks left, but I don't think they're particularly well-positioned.
What does that have to do with this? Well, to start, I've tested and already cut Cataclysmic Gearhulk. It's too slow and too limited to affect go-wide decks and it's a really bad finisher at 4/5 with no evasion/protection. It's not a playable card. Skywhaler's Shot misses too many of the most relevant cards right now - it may be good after Emrakul is gone, but for now, I'd much prefer playing things like Dec in Stone and Blessed Alliance. Angel of Invention probably shouldn't even be rated - it's just bad as a constructed 5 drop. I don't even think Avacyn is playable in this format.
Basically, this format is "Core Set Limited, the Constructed format". You're either playing aggro or you're playing "who can stick their bomb first". And the bombs are Emrakul, maybe some of the other Eldrazi, and maybe Brisela.
>>
>>49619180

The question is how low to the ground you want to go as aggro though. The most aggressive variants don't run the ship, for example, but it's a really strong card in the mirror. So if there's enough aggro you might see a shift to slower variants that eventually end up as midrange. Also, Delirium is totally a midrange deck.
>>

Green's power level is almost purely reactionary to blue's dominance and now decline though. Previous color pie divisions making it so blue was the only color that could interact with the stack, and maybe black or red on rare occasion, gave it inherent dominance. Green always suffered the most and now it's being tuned in such a way that it's supposed to be intentionally difficult to control against, but doing that at the same time control is actually brought down has exacerbated how dominant green is in limited formats.

There is so much in this set alone that completely negates it.

It's not shit, but it isn't good. So much setup and once it's dealt with you're much further behind than you would be without it.

Of all the cards to post, you chose the Sorcery-speed "damage to flying" card?

Anyone saying Copter will be BANNED is a retard, but please don't post bad cards to prove it's fine.

>Sorcery speed removal against The Choppa
I know it's probably bait, but I had fun at the idea of someone sideboarding that to deal with it.
>>
>>49621144
Why is this card even sorcery speed in the first place. It would be fine at instant
>>
>people think the copter is broken
wait one more week for control decks

it'll be $5 in no time

not fast enough for aggro

doesn't do enough for control

will do ok in low t1 decks

not much more
>>
>>49621386

>4 DAMAGE INSTANT FOR 1 G

how the fuck is that ok you retard
>>
Le epic contrarian argument. Copter is good, it's the best card in the format so far. Everyone saying it's a crap rare is a dumbass, everyone saying it's broken is just a lazy shit who is mad that they have to run instant speed removal in their gw pile. Fucking idiots just adapt to what's good and stop whining.
>>
Unless you are generating mad energy, why even use Aether hub? It just seems like a dead card unless a lot of your spells are generating energy
>>
>>49621731
They printed Rending Volley, which was 4 damage, can't be countered, instant, in DTK

Why would 4 damage to a CREATURE for 2 mana be overpowered? That's already a pretty low power level.

Printing it at instant would at least make it considerable. Hell, even Lightning Axe is 5 damage for 1
>>
>>49621731
These are the same people that want Lightning Bolt in every standard format.

In their eyes, an instant that says "~ deals 5 damage to target creature with flying." and that costs G would be totally balanced and a reasonable competitive card.
>>
>>49621750
Quick mana fixing and probably running a few mana generating cards to keep one or two counters around.
>over $2.00 in price already
Fucking why. I hate when this happens to uncommons.
>>
>>49621778
And you're just casual as all hell.

You're one of the people that just LOVE ramming creatures into each other until you're both down to top decking when games last from 20-30 minutes each.
>>
>>49621867
Oh sure, let's just shove Lightning Bolt in there then, make it so that every deck has to splash red and so that absolutely no creature with less than 4 toughness is playable unless its ETB trigger is so pushed that you're effectively playing a sorcery card with no consideration for the body.

That sure sounds like a healthy, diverse format.

>get mana of any color for up to 2 turns
>doesn't enter tapped
>works well and builds off other Aether Hubs
>works even better with other energy, and a good number of standalone cards may leave extra energy around (the scry 2, draw 2) (the energy lightning bolt), etc.
You obviously don't want to waste the energy T1/2 since this looks most effective T3+ but like I said, if you have another Hub or secondary energy source this card just does everything you want it to.

It's 2 dollars (and might even hit 3) because basically every deck benefits from this, much like the Copter. Just be lucky this wasn't rare, because it sure as shit could have been.

HOLY SHIT, this fucking turtle is best in this set, look at it, it's thriving as fuck. Literally a 1/4 for U, and it keeps growing if you feed it energy
>>
>>49621067
I fucking love this meme about blue having stack interaction making it somehow fundamentally better than other colours.
>>
>>49622010
1: it only hits creatures and not players. The reason why bolt is so good is because it hits players.
2. I wasn't saying we should print bolt, but thanks for putting words in my mouth.
3. Maybe if Standard didnt have such a shit power level right now, then Bolt wouldn't be so bad. As it stands, though, we will never see anything actually powerful printed ever again minus maybe 1 or 2 cards every BLOCK
>>
>>49622500
New player here, asking something out of morbid curiosity.

What would it take to bring Standard back up to power? A single block would probably end up scrapping every existing deck if it upjumped.

I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad idea, but would that be the preferred solution?

Also people seem to really hate creature decks. Is there a reason for that?
>>
Rate my shitbrew, please. I'm coming from Modern and wanted to take a similar approach as Bant Eldrazi.

A lot of players prefer the roll of the dice, lack of interaction and simple mathematics that hard aggro and and hard burn decks provide.
Another lot of players prefer lording over their opponent by being in charge of entirely one-sided interaction as they play a hard control draw-go deck.
Then there's yet another lot of players that want to be able to smugly build their hand while swatting you away before chaining three, four cards in a combo that you can't disrupt that just wins them the game.

The issue is that being forced to choose between creature-based 'aggro,' midrange and 'control' decks of Humans, Emerge, Delirium and the thankfully non-dead Collected Company forces them to interact. They can no longer just ignore creatures, bat them away with ridiculously cheap removal or prevent them from entering the battlefield at all. No, now they actually have to manage their opponents' creatures like a resource and think about them and this isn't the MtG that they want to play. They want to be in control and play the game on their terms, not as equals with their opponent.
>>
>>49622849
You're speaking as if you have never built a deck with those designs in mind before, either.

The fact that you can't comprehend that other players don't just want to 'manage creatures' signifies you have a sever lack of experience in playing Magic other than the creature format.

I strongly suggest you branch out into other formats and give it a try. There are MANY other ways of interaction than just bashing creatures together until someone runs out of creatures.
>>
>>49622849
That doesn't even come close to answering my question, and 'humans' is not a control deck. I play humans, and I am never EVER the one 'in control.' However you're biased, it's certainly leaking through to the point where even I'm able to tell.
>>

Do you think they'll rise any more or should I trade them off now?
