If correctly built, a black control deck will smash a Zevatog deck and unfairly molest a KaiAtog deck; Trenches stands little chance, and it will beat on a blue/green deck such as Deep Dog and the likes as if it were demanding lunch money. Say, isn’t that the metagame?
Crazy decking stories include crazy decks – and a crazy $5 in StarCity credit for sharing your kookiest multiplayer story!
LaRue’s back with another art attack – and this time, he’s asking what the two best pieces in Judgment are! One may be Constructed-worthy… The other probably isn’t. Read on!
Kibler got it right when he mentioned that there are only three”playable” Wishes – Living, Cunning, and Burning. What are the approaches to using them in OBC?
“I’ve played a similar number of matches in each format. I’m showing improvement in one, but not in the other. Why?”
“Don’t look at me, dude.”
“I didn’t know either. So I started thinking about the games, looking for differences between my Limited and Constructed matches…”
I started to hate ‘Tog and started to search for a more enjoyable deck – and I found Mike Long’s version of Deep Dog with white. I immediately built it and it was fun indeed.
Here’s the story of Grinder 2,
Of mana-flood and color screw,
Of black and green and red and blue,
So did I win? I think I’m due.
OBC is all about the green men and Buehler may yet be vindicated. Want to know how the OBC metagame is shaping up, what will be the most popular deck – and why? The truth is in here.
Let me tell you right now, friends (and I’m speaking, one somehow assumes, in the dynamic polytone voice of a backwoods Wonder Tonic huckster): This fellow Randy Buehler is a decent human being. But who is this so-called”Mister Buehler”?
Mark Rosewater said that”an Extended deck (Miracle Gro) from the latest Extended season has gone on to have a huge influence on Type 1…” Why is he wrong and why does this deck (and Illusionary Mask) fail in the Format Of The Eldest Cards?
In OBC alone, there are at least four solid U/G decks I can count:”Mongrel Madness,” U/G Upheaval, Quiet Roar, and lately I’ve seen a bounce-heavy variant running Wonder, Elephant Guide, and Cephalid Constable. All share similarities, but have enough differences to be considered unique.
Hey. You. Wanna win some stuff? Know something about Magic storylines? Well, why not try your hand at Daniel’s latest trivia quiz?
I’ve played my deck in tournaments three times since Regionals – and won them all. I stopped playing it when people started bitching about the deck… And did I mention that it beats Tog consistently and sideboards to make that beating as regular as my grandma on Metamucil?
While this lesson is probably elementary to very experienced Limited players, it opened my eyes to a whole new aspect of Sealed deck construction strategy – and I consider myself a fair Limited player. Maybe it will help you too.
