I feel like this set's design is kinda elegant inasmuch that so much of everything going on in it kinda compliments each other in spite of the clashing "Modernity Vs. tradition" thing it has going on. The Sagas happen to usually be evasive bodies on the other end that let you get in for Ninjutsu and then recast the saga, Ninjas happen to also be artifacts for the artifacts matter stuff or have ability counters when they enter, or reconfigure creatures can help with that, which then modify things along with the various auras like the black one that's also a removal spell. with how much incidental looting there is along with channel, it's so easy to just like... run stuff that have artifacts and enchantments matter, modified matters, graveyard synergies, all while not sticking to your strict draft archetype. It kinda was fun watching the LRR PPR and seeing Grahm Stark have what was effectively a goodstuff pile with all of 1 vehicle. it was legitimately more of a Ninja Control build then anything.

For the Black/White deck payoff you forgot the 3 mana 3/2 common rat Samurai. It gets useful keywords if you have enchantments and/or artifacts, and most secret thing of all it benefits from the white Samurai attack alone abilities! Super sneaky... like a rat.

Looking at how Kaladesh played out, aggro. It seems like the artifacts like vehicles are to enable the aggro strategies and the enchantments side of things provide incremental advantage for control decks.

The existence of strong vehicles in a format usually favors aggro decks and combats control decks because vehicles make it much, much easier to play around creature board wipes.

I can't help but feel like Black/White is going to be an underpowered deck in the format. Green/White just needing enchantments and Blue/Red just needing artifacts seem much more streamlined and like they'll be more consistent. Not to mention I feel like Red has more good artifact stuff than Black, and Green has more good enchantment stuff than White, so it's kind of trying to work off the worse parts of each of the artifact and enchantment decks. Which is a shame because Black/White is my favorite color pair.

So...I feel like Samurai aren't really going to do that well, since it kind of feels like if you have all those creatures out to gain the ability from only swinging one of them, you'd be better served by just, you know, swinging out if you're in a position with a large number of those on the field at once?
@NizzahonMagic2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I'm a little worried that the whole "attack alone" angle might not work out, but I hope I'm wrong, because its a pretty cool way to do RW aggro.
@therealHLY2 жыл бұрын
yeah, exalted and pseudo-exalted stuff has never really been the most 'successful'. I am assuming the plan is swing alone to build resources/get ahead, then go for the all out attack when your in a position to do so. It'd be nice if there was an easy way to get trample on a samurai to make attacking with one single super-buffed samurai not just asking your opponent to chump block.
@stuflames47692 жыл бұрын
I feel like it's, conceptually, an anti ninja measure. You attack alone and gain value, while having plenty of blockers to keep a lookout for ninja so they have a hard time gaining value out of ninjitsu. ... But I am also concerned that's not really enough, against ninja or even more against the rest. We will see. RW is probably going to be just aggro where sometimes you weigh an attack alone upside, rather than attack alone being the default.
@aaronbasham65542 жыл бұрын
@@therealHLY I think the main issue is if they have something that's indestructible, or has a reoccurring source of death touch, since attacking alone means you'll still get those other effects, but without an in color source of trample or evasion, it's just asking to be blocked. Also, why is there no vehicle Voltron deck in Kamigawa? How could they possibly miss that opportunity?

An interesting thing about Satoru, (and Im not saying its a good strategy but its a fun, interesting one) is that you can play whatever massive creature you want, even if out of colors and just get it into play with Satoru.. Were you going UB Ninjas and opened a Green massive dragon? You can play it.. you'll probably lose more games than you win by doing that but hey, it will feel glorious if you pull it off xD
