it gotta be
there is the problem that FIres generally runs Bonecrusher giant and that has a shock that canāt be prevented attatched to it, which limits Tajicās usefulness, but it does counter the Clarion so it might still be worth it
Fires is just really obnoxious to play against in general tbh, because it always plays the exact same things on the same turns yet itās frustratingly hard to deal with them without gimping your own deckās strategy
the ones iāve played against just didnāt play creatures
they didnāt need to
there was the occasional shark typhoon but itās not exactly a creature
my deck is better against creatures because nobody expects claim the firstborn which is great value and can bonk someone for lots of damage in certain scenarios
yeah iām still used to dealing with Theros Beyond Death Fires
for reference that finished itsā opponents with Cavaliers and Kenriths
bonecrusher is the only 3 drop that fires ever runs though
and it costs 2 health to firstborn it
oh yeah bonecrusher is a thing
health costs are seldom a problem for this deck because thereās a lot of lifegain so itās still good value
the planeswalkers are the real issue
true iām just ponting out that Fires has a lot of stuff thatās just obnoxious to deal with
agree
solution
ban fires from standard
the card not the deck
i mean after the Teferipocalypse Fires will lose basically all of itsā threats and removal?
for reference the Teferipocalypse is Core 2021, which will be printing 4 new Teferi cards
a control deck could be good against fires hm
would have the highest number of ways to deal with everything fires does
the most effective way to deal with Fires is to counter their Fires, yes.
fires has 0 recursion from what i can tell so yeah
weāll only have to deal with it for a few more months before Clarion, all of the War of the Spark planeswalkers, and the Cavaliers rotate
