Magic the Gathering, Standard, Pauper and Limited are my favorite formats. Love to brew and play spiky, doesn't always work out

[but_izzet @but_izzet]

@Ultimate__Ace @barelyRebecca Then how do they manage to make good Store Champ Promos (Fable, Pride, Frog, Oculus) or a Kozileks Command for the next RC's, Tamiyo for PT, etc.?

@dc_bikepacking @rcondon_ @terribadmtg @MTG_Arena You should work on presenting less as an asshole, you will have more success in life.

@SaffronOlive How are there several people that voted for Fires?
Apparently they didnt look at the Jar decklist, its just fast mana and a combo kill that can be done turn 1, while the curve of Fires starts at 2 mana and does nothing until turn 4. Sure the 1 Disenchant in the SB will help

[but_izzet @but_izzet]

@Metallix87 @MTG_Scribe @fireshoes Lol, what are you talking about? This is a pretty neutral retelling of events, "claim" is only used once and using different variations of "says" is just standard and good writing practice to not bore the reader

[but_izzet @but_izzet]

@SonRebell My plan was to play an actual prowess aggro deck instead of the midrange approach with Crabs because you can race Landfall and are better into control, which should be even more relevant going forward.
Secret Identity also overperformed for me and ill try to make room for a 2nd

[but_izzet @but_izzet]

@SonRebell Im an Elusive believer especially when you try a bit more to cast the green side, i used it in every 2nd match in London and was happy with 8 onedrops + 2 horse into an open meta. I made 19th with a list almost exactly like the one from Krankel that made the finals in Cinci...

[but_izzet @but_izzet]

@masoneclark "This could go easily into Standard" is my favorite

[but_izzet @but_izzet]

@justintroyermtg @mtgbentcard @SonRebell Strength is cards like Combustion, Wisdom or the cost reduction by grangran are above average in power level when turned on, but when faced with gy hate they are pretty mediocre to bad, same with Flow State.

[but_izzet @but_izzet]

@SonRebell Regarding the lessons package, as soon as you start to add Firebending Lessons and Comb Technique you lose out on a beeing an aggro deck that has a proactive gameplan G1, Burst can always go face.
Lesson Control with or without Monument is the best type of Lesson deck.

[but_izzet @but_izzet]

@SonRebell I played two horses in the main instead of crabs at the Spotlight and was pretty happy with them, good not only in the mirror but against all interaction heavy decks.
Emeritus is too expensive, 2 Ral in the SB is enough for a grindy card that also operates on a different axis.

[but_izzet @but_izzet]

@Myra00_mtg @UltraProIntl @fanfinity_mtg @fireshoes What about the list was worse in the mirrors that was good against Landfall in your opinion? The Otters in the SB?

[but_izzet @but_izzet]

🦦 Otter gang rise up!

19th at Spotlight SOS London, lost the win and in for top8, first Day2 for me, great event, played against a lot of wonderful opponents and 10 different decks in 15 rounds, standards great right now and Otters are superior to Crabs

@catsaremyfav2 @ginky_mtg @havenmtg Like the first person who never made a mistake in their favour shall throw the first stone, i certainly did and often me or my opp would catch that but im sure there were times were nobody realized it which doesnt turn it into cheating because i had no intent to do so.

[but_izzet @but_izzet]

@catsaremyfav2 @ginky_mtg @havenmtg Cheating requires intent, making mistakes is not cheating per se. Above your comment two very good players were talking about how the Crab ETB has to be handled, which just shows it is not obvious to everyone how it works when you dont tap anything.

[but_izzet @but_izzet]

@wildstwawberry Best example in current Standard for at least half a year or longer is Dimir Mid/Tempo, people love Kaito. Old Golgari Mid (Liliana, Mooswood, Sheoldred) was like this, the current versions actually wins games which must be like crack for Golgari enjoyers

[but_izzet @but_izzet]

@exsnypre @SaffronOlive I just realized how good this particular version of Dimir should be against Control, 4 Faerie Mastermind 4 Bats 4 Counterspells Main + 2 Ertai. I might revise my prediction 😅

[but_izzet @but_izzet]

Im pretty sure you can do something similiar for Dimir/Esper/Golgari Midrange because Standard is so big and there is a lot of redundancy in interaction and good threats.

[but_izzet @but_izzet]

I won small local Standard event (2-0-1) with Izzet Singleton aka Lutriless Lutri

I had the idea for a while to test how good the pool of good playables for Izzet is and it turns out good enough now with SOS.

@FAHerold The Forest is incredible, i love how the river glows, almost too much like its radioactive, but the contrast is great.
