I like the Golgari version of this deck for two reasons 1) Nothing feels more in the spirit of this event than running 4 Channels, 4 Demonic Tutors, and 4 Dark Rituals. 2) Phyrexian Fleshgorger can be both cheated out early with Channel or cast normally if your combo gets pulled apart. It's especially good in the mirror where they can't pay the ward to exile it with Ulamog, and it has menace to get past the indestructible creature. The lifelink has even let me have games where I've Channeled twice.

On an imaginative level i always imagine non-banned formats like this as being two wizards dueling each other using the most forsaken/evil of spells because of just how dangerous they are to wield to those untrained and the sheer apocalyptic destruction they would bring if unleashed. If they make a format like this it should be called "Forbidden."

I would absolutely *love* more events like this in the future. Running altered banlists or other wacky rules while allowing players without huge collections to participate. It’s a fun way to spice up the late stage of an expansion while also letting players experiment with decks they may have only heard of from other people.

@CanadianBaconPwnage Жыл бұрын

One of the best decks against Channel are the various Grixis variants. Thoughtseize, Inqusition of Kozilek, and Spellpierce do a lot of leg work of course, but getting to play Bolts, Ragavan, and Mishra's Bauble are nice too. I really enjoy the Lurrus/Death's Shadow lists. I've won plenty of games keeping 1 landers, on the draw or play. And weirdly, lost a lot of games because of my own bad choices that I could have sequenced better to win: not as many non-games as you'd expect.

Field of the dead bant flavor beats this most games. Uro, oko, bounce spells. Once they pop that's all they have. Use the 5 drop green sorcery that tutors 2 deserts aka field of the dead. Then scapeshift. You can also run lil tef. Deck is the nuts and if you make it to turn 4 you win.

@tcsmagicbox 11 ай бұрын

I actually beat a Channel deck with my Persistent Petitioners deck 12 hours before the event ended. I went first, dropped a petitioner on turn 2. My opponent dropped Hope of Ghirapur turn 1, then Channel and Ulamog on turn 2 and exiled my 2 lands. Luckily, I had a 3rd land and Unsummoned the Ulamog turn 3 and pinged him for 1 damage. He then played Demonic Tutor, Channeled again and paid 4 life for Karn, grabbed Shadowspear, but couldn't equip it until next turn. I just pinged him every turn and Unsummoned Hope of Ghirapur after it was equipped. He then grabbed The One Ring but didn't play it, and finally conceded when he was down to 2 life.

I did play the game carefully and got lucky going first on that thoughtseize. I have been playing Magic for 2 yrs around the time seeing you blinked 4 Yorions in standard, I got inspired and thankful for your beloved skynoodle which opened a wonderful magical world for me through the stressful time during curfew. Thank you for all, love your cool love your confidence love your mind game love your zen( "CGB" does look like a praying monk doesn't it? ;).At last form the bottom of my heart wish you a happy birthday!

@nym053 Жыл бұрын

I used the no-ban historic event to try out standard legal decks with cards that I wanted but didn't have. So obviously my deck would be very weak in comparison to those banned-card focused decks. I got up against one who kept copying a spell that would give an extra turn. Then at some point when I had only 2 lifes left, and the opponent could finish me off and win, he/she instead decided to make infinite turns. Opponent having a card to put cards from graveyard back to the library, which was copied as well. And the copy spells got copied 😂 Up until that match I had a principle of never reciding a match (I only started playing mtg 3 weeks ago). But after about half and hour with the opponent having 53 turns in que, I then decided to recide. And everytime an Opponent would cast Ulamog in other matches, I would recide as well. I didn't use the format for it's intented use, so that's on me 😅

The meta for this format has been interesting. Rock hard control, Channel Eldrazi, and Rakdos Ragavan kill you ASAP seem to be the big three contenders so far. I've been trying to modify the Channel deck to combo kill with Aetherflux Reservoir the turn you Channel to improve the winrate. The issue, naturally, is that you need more pieces. Even with Demonic Tutor, it's not consistent enough with the variations I've tried. We'll see with some time. I'd love to see your take on it in the format. EDIT: Well. Looks like people already figured it out by doing Realmbreaker things. Plus your Karn lock is very close. Also, while it's almost impossible to pull off and not reliable at all, you can T1 Channel with Dark Ritual and Chromatic Orrery. It's not good. At all. But it's fun when you do it.

@tonysmith9905 Жыл бұрын

Already got an aetherflux list, most consistently wins on turn 3, but with a channel in opening hand it's still a turn 2 kill. I've given up on trying to tech for channel mirrors, it's almost just a coin flip on who goes first. If they get Emmie then they can use your channel to kill you on the spot. I'll pass ya the list: Deck 4 Demonic Tutor (STA) 27 4 Channel (STA) 50 4 Llanowar Wastes (BRO) 264 3 Staff of Compleation (ONE) 242 3 Guild Globe (WAR) 239 2 Chromatic Sphere (JMP) 462 4 Chromatic Star (BRR) 11 4 Lembas (LTR) 243 3 Paradox Engine (KLR) 259 4 Karn, the Great Creator (WAR) 1 3 The One Ring (LTR) 246 3 Aetherflux Reservoir (KLR) 217 3 Mystic Forge (M20) 233 4 Blooming Marsh (KLR) 280 4 Forest (THB) 254 4 Darkbore Pathway (KHM) 254 4 Overgrown Tomb (GRN) 253 Sideboard 1 Paradox Engine (KLR) 259 1 The One Ring (LTR) 246 1 Aetherflux Reservoir (KLR) 217 1 Staff of Compleation (ONE) 242 1 Meteor Golem (HBG) 260 1 Portal to Phyrexia (BRO) 240 The 1 mana eggs have really gotten the consistency up and they're actually important for being able to cast Tutors that get stuck in your hand. The Guild Globes also let you cast them. Meteor Golem is for any weird match up or if opponent gets a Karn down. Portal is for Eldrazi when they don't win immediately and you can't for some reason combo off. Staff of Completion is actually a house in this deck and can often times be the better pick out of the board besides the one ring since you can untap it without Paradox Engine. The pro of this deck is that the turn you channel you almost always win. And not making opponent conceded either. Fiddled around with the list for a few hours and it did work. Good win rate, just not against mirror. The draw back of the Eldrazi is if you get a bad draw you can get got by a swords to plowshares or other removal. This deck gets around that. The only draw back I've had is that my kills are some times just a turn too late in mirror.
