@ubersuccess @grok @233Mob @AdameMedia Dexter, fire show for the first 5 seasons

@fritterbaker @Dante_D_B @Gov4Sale @SaffronOlive I thought it was clear I meant the deck, it has Mako/FoMo and Profts/Cauldron for the early game and then can cast Vivi (if it isn’t putting it under a Cauldron) for the mid to late game as well as level up Talents and Ral. A finals list yesterday played 2 Cauldrons 4 Vivi, Vivi>

[Nigel @CastsEphemerate]

@fritterbaker @Dante_D_B @Gov4Sale @SaffronOlive What

[Nigel @CastsEphemerate]

@Dante_D_B @Gov4Sale @fritterbaker @SaffronOlive I mean…. That sounds like just a perfectly fine deck to exist, and to me a reason Cauldron should be free. A slow graveyard roots deck with Cauldron that’s soft to hate sounds great to have in Standard. Vivi’s problem is it has early, mid and late game and isn’t soft to hate

[Nigel @CastsEphemerate]

@Gov4Sale @fritterbaker @SaffronOlive Loot’s ability is pretty broken, Vivi’s is just absolutely absurd

[Nigel @CastsEphemerate]

@Gov4Sale @fritterbaker @SaffronOlive Cauldron**

[Nigel @CastsEphemerate]

@Gov4Sale @fritterbaker @SaffronOlive Yeah but we only have proof one half of the combo is fine without the other is my point. Maybe Vivi is fine without Cauldrij but we KNOW the opposite is true

[Nigel @CastsEphemerate]

@fritterbaker @Gov4Sale @SaffronOlive Cauldron has been in Standard since 2023 and hasn’t been part of a broken deck once until Vivi came out

[Nigel @CastsEphemerate]

@Im2SneakyMTG @fireshoes Great run to you too, your deck was equally sick! I wanted to test your list out afterward but my rental limit couldn’t handle it 😭

Still not happy with the SB 🤷‍♂️

[Nigel @CastsEphemerate]

@oieeemilio I loved 4c Chant but I ultimately got tired of the manabase, Wrenn is super nice but I like the consistency of this list!

Im really happy with the mainboard! And yeah March is a solid replacement, Oust is just the 5th piece of 1 mana interaction as I felt light

[Nigel @CastsEphemerate]

@PaquitoCasal Let me know how you feel about those choices if you try them though I’d love to strengthen the list and I can’t play much unfortunately

[Nigel @CastsEphemerate]

@PaquitoCasal I’ve tried Clarion, it’s definitely solid but I tried to sideboard TTT hits to minimize whiffs (I was using Endurance as GY hate and felt like I didn’t want creatures as hate)
Haven’t tried suppression field or Needle purely because of Wrath killing them

[Nigel @CastsEphemerate]

@AJMarlier I’ve never decked out before across a couple challenges and a handful of leagues (except when my opponent Ashiok looped me, which Endurance wouldn’t help ). Once you have the lock you just don’t add any more cards to hand off of TTT nor Stock Up unless they’re attackers

[Nigel @CastsEphemerate]

@garyseven84 @univercemtg @fireshoes To add onto this, you set up the lock with Teferi in play and can bounce their blockers as you continue the lock, then you can just start playing creatures to speed up your clock around the lock, just don’t tap out of WW accidentally (easy mistake to make)

[Nigel @CastsEphemerate]

@PaquitoCasal Oh, and I used to play Rebirth back when this was a Fallaji deck but now you routinely have no permanents in yard except for lands

[Nigel @CastsEphemerate]

@PaquitoCasal Prowess or to a lesser extent Boros. Belcher and Prowess are the hardest matchups in my experience and Boros is maybe 49-51 but I haven’t loved anything I’ve played in those slots to shore them up

[Nigel @CastsEphemerate]

@PaquitoCasal I’m not happy with the 4th Consign (with EWit+Trainers I haven’t felt like I needed more than that and almost never face Eldrazi Ramp/Urza Tron) nor the DSphere, I used to play 2 High Noons in those slots but wasn’t happy there either. I wanted cards to shore up Belcher, (1/2)
