You want Liliana, the Last Hope if that's the meta you're seeing. She is a good maindeck addition anyways.

I suppose we're unlucky in that the top 8s are sort of diverse and WotC probably don't want to look any deeper into it even if they might know better

Temur Without Marvel sounds like a real struggle deck.
I'm probably tossing her into the Jund Construct deck.

Seriously that thopter was useless.
He even punted before by killing the land with lightning. The moment he floated black mana the push was easy to guess by then you spend no energy and then push has no valid target.
2 mana timewalk opponent 3 energy would have been dece
Edit: This guy never got lucky with a good topdeck. Solid Gameplan though.

lol twitter people running another crazy-person "insider trading!!! #mtgfinance" conspiracy theory
They've already done the X/0 gimmick so really the best option is some ludicrous amount of toughness, like 3/99 or something.
Results are, but overprivileging Top 8s is misleading.

I don't get the problem, two decks are not Aetherworks, format seems healthy to me.
Yeah, that was a dumb video Rudy put out. He's probably thrilled about how people are loosing there minds over it!

that's why brad should have let the transgress resolve. Only way he loses is to go wide stuff from Sam.
Marvel players keep punting games.

Non-human new planeswalker coming up
MaRo concludes that people don't like blue transformation spells because of Commander
MaRo coming around to the idea that green shouldn't get land based card draw. Personally, landfall based card draw is fine, but drawing cards based on the number of lands you control is too much.

One of my problems as an elderly old is that I don't just habitually watch video content while doing other things, and Rudy always feels like he takes forever to get to the point so I haven't actually seen his video, just the second-hand discussion.
People should literally never talk to Maro about Commander for any reason.
All formats are their formats now dontcha know

BTW, I lost against a U/W Control deck at FNM after casting Void Winnower because my opponent embalmed a Vizier of Many Faces, rip. 
Beginning to think they have just scrapped the concept of Announcement day at this point
Absolutely will be during E3 week. Bet on it. Bet all the money on it.

I really should have, Violet. But I can't change my flight and this air bnb is expensive as fuck. But I'm sure there'll be a next time. I feel like there's a Netherlands GP twice a year these days.
Managed to get some sick tokens from rk post:
That Snake token is the best thing I've seen in a long while. I love it!
They're doing a stream and some stuff, so they won't just spring it out of nowhere tomorrow. We'll likely get an announcement for the date of announcement day tomorrow though.

Because dumb people keep asking him about it.
They literally have too much stuff they have to announce this month for that to even be possible now, lol.
Welcome to Affinity, what I've been playing recently.
I take it you are missing Glimmervoids or Spires? 6 basics is a lot for the deck.
Also, running 8 instants is kind of a lot. I cut to two Blasts and 3 Thoughtcasts main, with a another blast in the board. You really want to keep your Artifact density up. Adding the drums will help there and also help give you some of the explosive starts, like Overseer turn one with Skirge and thopter out.
I ended up also putting a Champion in my board to keep me from starting so many games with a 3 drop in hand.
The cards for the shell are there and don't have a lot of good changes to make, but the derck does leave space on where to go with them. Good luck!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh this deck is getting better and better each time I edit it
Some games feel so good, the value and decisions are really interesting and interactive. I really like how Liliana + Pia's Revolution means A) give me back my dude or B) give me back my dude. Recurring Walking Ballistas then dropping them off AGAIN huge af feels good man.
Like I'm so excited about the deck I just want to sleeve it up rn and practice.

Pias revolution is still a trap card

I personally think the way they did announcement day was just dumb, so anything they change will be better than a random text article saying "next block is Amonkhet"
Do I get to say "you activated my trap card" when the trigger goes off?

Yes the idea of doing an announcement day is good but the way they did it is bad. They should really have a stream with a final logo and one or more illustrations for everything, a teaser paragraph about the large set/block, and probably a preview card or two. They are on this kick of "never take focus from the absolute next product" now but I honestly think the year where they showed off Khans, C14, and other stuff all in the same SDCC panel was one of the better hype jobs they've done recently.

No but you get to confuse people with relatively simple decision trees.
I mean I'll find it hilarious to bait someone with this and Walking Ballista, they'll take 3 so I don't get it back, and then drop Liliana and proceed to get it back anyway.

you're probably better of by just playing winding constrictor and tireless tracker if you want to value grind while being an aggressive deck.
Pia's Revolution helps in a race or in grindy matchups but your opponent gets to decide which course is taken.

Winding is a 4x in the deck.

My bad skimmed the creatures. I'd just run trackers over pia's revolution then.
Isn't a 4:3 split for push disintegration better?
edit: looking at the list again I can see making a case for revolution. A Ballista would make racing difficult as you can machinegun down the opponents creatures and you're able to regrow a a ton of them eventually. Keep us posted of it works out. Tracker is just a stupid powerful card.

That's Temet right?
Going by archenemy it's not looking good for amonkhet. A return has gotta be all about rebuilding like this.
Also quite flavourful that this only does 3 damage considering samut has 4 toughness as a creature.
