especially in mirror matches it fucks people over hard

#282

i know, I play Obosh, The Preypiercer Rakdos Sacrifice, and itā€™s even more ridiculous when it pings for 2 instead of 1

#283

iā€™ve had several games where someone let me clear their board with it because they forgot it triggered on enemy sacrifices

#284

and yeah like i said hero of precinct one is i think the fastest body generator in the deck

#285

the big question is how to improve the deckā€™s removal against the Cavaliers and planeswalkers fires drops, basically.

#286

yeah
jeskai fires is the deck which consistently bodies me

#287

any other deck i have a chance against
but jeskai fires not really

#288

Sarkhan the Masterless is probably the easiest to deal with if you have a board to speak of, because Sarkahn almost always -3s after being dropped, but that still leaves a 4/4 Dragon on the board to deal with

#289

generally the pattern is that they play fires, clear my board every turn while playing planeswalkers, and win with planeswalkers as i try to rebuild

#290

see I think the problem comes down hugely to the fact the deck is susceptible to the Clarions that Fires runs, and there arenā€™t that many good anti-planeswalker spells in Standard right now

#291

We donā€™t have like an Immortal Sun to make all the walkers useless while simultaneously buffing our stuff which makes the walkers common to the current build of Fires hard to deal with

#292

yeah i think itā€™s a bad matchup overall but i would like to have a fighting chance at least

#293

however
i do have a wacky idea

#294

the funniest matchup ever is when iā€™m in a mirror match and donā€™t draw mayhem devil

itā€™s just TRIGGER WARS and like 20 things on the stack/in response

#295

strong, cheap, minion, that basically preemptively counters Clarion?

#296

nothing can be as funny as Manaless Dredge vs. Land Destruction, to be fair

#297

hey this isnā€™t bad
canā€™t use him for sacrificing but it counters many removal spells and can be used to haste-bonk planeswalkers

#298

Tajic has always been a decent card but itā€™s never really had a place outside of Boros Aggro, but this might be a reasonable spot to splash in a few copies of him. He is rare, though, and has very little applications generally.

#299

i sacrifice my cat to get a food
they do the same
i bring mine back
they do the same
etb trigger
etb trigger
trigger trigger trigger
sacrifice my X
in response, sacrifice Y

yes but vul
a deck that plays 0 lands vs. a deck that wins by destroying lands
itā€™s a hillarious matchup
