A note on one mana creatures with menace, there's between 14 and 20 depending on how strict you want to be with terms like "creature" and "with." There are several red ones and a few black ones. I'm also a bit surprised it took so long to find a 1 mana menace creature when there are a few that saw a lot of play like Flameblade adept and Insolent neonate.

@mattperkinson9604 9 ай бұрын

Court of vantress might do something in a very grindy blue + X deck, where you can hold the monarchy while making copies of cards like Sarevok’s tome, tangle wire, the rack, black vise, etc. Actually, I’d love to see y’all do an FNPF where you have to do brewers challenges with cards like this that don’t have an immediate home in the format and have to bring a deck that plays them.

I am playing charming scoundrel in a Mardu monarchy/initiative deck, because a) the deck needed more two drops with an ETB for the curve, b) it makes a treasure on two so you can play one of your four drops a turn early, and c) that deck plays a bit of reanimation, so you can use the rummage to cheat something in for a more explosive start. I’ve been very happy with it in testing.

Yo, I feel y’all on the Ashiok comment tho; I did the same thing. Like halfway thru the card I’m just like “eh I don’t care anymore” 😬 Also. Not to pull a Serge, but I feel like the viper would be great if it said any target instead of player specifically. But again, that would be a completely different card so 🤷‍♀️

No mention of any of the Virtues feels a bit off! At least the white one, being a 1-body Raise the Alarm that comes with vigilance and “draws” a pretty strong (if expensive) anthem seems worth of attention. The others also have some niche but interesting applications, like the black one being decent removal that’s also a combo piece with Rector, or the blue one being ramp with fetchlands

Fantastic review as always! This set feels like a cube set not a canlander set, which honestly is welcome in recent years. I do wonder if putting a pin in Wicked Visitor for future sets may be warranted, or maybe it has combo shenanigans already with like an Urza's Saga idk. But seems like wizards is leaning into enchantments going to the yard the past few sets. Justice for Nelly! He needs the chat And a sweater.

@fwg1994 9 ай бұрын

I mean, I feel like cube and canlander generally go hand in hand. I've found cards that see play in canlander align pretty well with cards that play well in cube, even the ones that see play in no other format but canlander.

Hearing about Hatching Plans would have been nice. If you can get value out of sacrificing it, it's better than a 2 mana draw 3. Even if it's too hard to make work, you could still bring the card up.

I want to try to build Faeries again, it's basically a UB Tempo deck with creatures that happen to be Faeries. Add in a couple on Ninjas to rebuy Spellstutter Sprite. It worked 3 years ago, but mainly because Bonespitter and Cryptic Command are good Magic cards, and Vendillion Clique and Brazen Borrower are good if they say Faerie or not.

@greatdinn8489 3 ай бұрын

Something that just hit me about the whole Fairy deck thing is that, given what we've seen from the Showdowns, 5 cards is more than enough to call a deck focused on that theme. Like, I don't disagree that it's probably better to just run something else. But I think the definition of a deck archetype is loose enough for mostly U/B control with a Fairy subtheme to count.

A lot of what makes hoof good is that it’s green. Natural order and green suns zenith being able to find it, and manadorks that only make green being able to cast it. Besides, you’re often tutoring up hoof so why find the inferior version? It’d only be useful when you draw it naturally, but then you’d rather just have drawn a tutor for hoof.
