also i have an Abzan Nethroi brawl deck
it’s not very good but when it goes off with an Eerie Ultimatum… chuckles

also i finally bit the bullet and crafted a playset of Fabled Passages

which of course now means I’m going to have to go through my old decks and get rid of all the shitty evolving wilds and replace them with their powercrept variant

#263

nah it’s not that
i have everything but the manabase which requires a lot of shocklands and i don’t have the wildcards for that
that said, the deck is pretty good
played the standard event yesterday and got 7 wins

jeskai fires still destroys me every time i play against it though

#264

the problem is that Fires always runs Deafening Clarion and most sacrifice creatures have 3 or less toughness

#265

the deck is like
you spam cheap creatures, etb and sacrifice effects which drain life/deal damage
and eventually you kill the opponent

^ yeah that’s one thing
the other thing is all the planeswalkers which i can’t kill because the deck seldom attacks with creatures

#266

planeswalker removal is the hard bit
i guess you could put in a few Murderous Riders?

#267

i could put planeswalker removal in sideboard
can’t go above 3 cmc though because this deck doesn’t want expensive stuff in it
maybe 4 cmc

#268

i haven’t really checked what i could use yet

#269

could you share the exact list so we can help you out?

#270

one sec
i’m a filthy netdecker so it’s not original

#271

who isn’t a filthy netdecker in this day and age
i’ve been netdecking so I can assemble the wildcards I need for my stupid-ass Nethroi OTK deck

#272 
4 Cauldron Familiar
4 Cruel Celebrant
4 Corpse Knight
4 Priest of Forgotten Gods
3 Fiend Artisan
4 Hero of Precinct One
2 Lurrus of the Dream-Den
4 Mayhem Devil
2 Woe Strider

Spells | 6 cards

4 Witch's Oven
2 Claim the Firstborn

Lands | 23 cards

2 Mountain
4 Swamp
2 Castle Locthwain
4 Fabled Passage
1 Plains
4 Blood Crypt
4 Godless Shrine
2 Sacred Foundry

this minus most of the lands bc no wildcards

#273

the Hero of Precinct One seems link a weird inclusion?

#274

like the Rakdos Sacrifice core is based around Woe Strider + Cat Oven + Forgotten Gods, all of which are monocoloured

#275

it might seem that way but it’s really good
it gives you additional bodies for chumpblocking/sacrificing, potentially faster than any other card in the deck

#276

hm. also, that deck fits the Lurrus of the Dream Den companion requirement, so it might be worth adding one as a Companion, right?

#277

it doesn’t because i run mayhem devil

#278

dammit i forgot it’s 2 or less not 3 or less
i’m idiot

#279

and it’s sacrifice, so dropping Mayhem Devil is incredibly stupid

#280

mayhem devil is the best card in the deck
