Ah, right, Jeleva. The poor man's Narset.
Every players library! Bunches of options
Agreed though, not as broken sillypants as Narset.
Wraths and banishing lights.
Bloodbraid hydra isn't so impressive when Nykthos taps for a single mana.
I love the flavor of equipping your Emrakul with hot soup then having it die because it spilled the soup over itself.
Ugh, my morph deck is going to hate this card. I think I'm going to pack a full set of Negates sideboard.
I was thinking about something similar, but add black and go full Mardu control: wraths, anger and thoughtseizes. Crackling Doom also seems super sweet against green devotion.

I'm playing Jeskai, I think.
I am kind of stumped for how exactly to build it, though.
Soldier of the Pantheon
Seeker of the Way
Goblin Rabblemaster
into
Jeskai Ascendency
Stoke the Flames
Triplicate Spirit
whilst utilising
Treasure Cruise
Master the Way
Narset
and solid burn spells.
I'm not 100% sure if I'm going to be running Master the Way seriously, but I am really liking the concept of running scrylands to fix draws, fixing your hand using Jeskai Ascendency, using the loot discards to fuel Treasure Cruise, all the while using essentially free convoke'd Stokes, Triplicate Spirits etc to keep the field in your favour, AND pumping up Seeker of the Way to kill off stuff that's much bigger than itself.
EDIT: Oh, and daft Narset plays where you scry to fix the draw and then then mill'n'play Master the Way and Treasure Cruise.

I KNEW it about Mantis Rider. Just didn't do anything about it. Now I'm kicking myself.
Is this the only real takeaway from the weekend so far? Haven't been able to watch anything.
G/b devotion block deck with Doomwake Giant beats all the untuned decks playing new cards
Todd Anderson sounds legit annoyed this guy has just played token decks lol
You can still buy it for 1.50 each or so. I got a set at 8 during preorders since I figured it couldn't dip below that, lol.
Harness by Force/Doomwake Giant have both been really good and you can pick up a set of both for a combined total of less than 3 bucks.
Paid the extra dollar for Amazon convenience, but I wouldn't be surprised if Harness was a real thing. Mike Flores was super high on it when it was spoiled
G/x only has Colossus to deal with Mantis Rider.
Welcome to why people consistently do well at SCG Opens.
When a scrub like Tom Ross can win multiple scg invitationals, nothing can surpise me anymore.
I mean, I only played him once at a PT, but he had me dead several turns on a row, but didn't kill me for some reason. :lol
A frenchman, a canadian and a czech won three of the last four PTs. You yanks better step it up next week.

That feeling you get when your opponent bile blights their own Butchers of the Horde in response to your Elspeth minus and you just spent your whole turn to kill your own Siege Rhino.
Wraths, Silence the Believers, Hornet Nest. Banishing Lights are bad because they mainboard Reclamation Sages with tons of ways to tutor them. A density of fliers backed by key removal is your best bet in general. But it's a solid deck.
Is that a rhetorical question? One of those has my favorite character pained by my favorite MTG artist.

Which Vindicate does God's Beard prefer?

I was actually considering cutting them over the mystics so I could run more cool stuff.

Managed to snag the last 4 mantis riders from tcgplayer for 9 dollars. I figure they'll shoot up soon, so I can use them as trade bait.

New Version... Above. A little bit more mana-fixing. Took out Nissa entirely (</3) and replaced her with Kiora, which brings down my curve a tiny bit. I fucking love it so far.

Went 3-1 at FNM playing Sultai, my one loss went to the guy who took first place. Ascendancy plus Villainous Wealth pretty dang good.
You know you can play 4 of a card right

Yeah, but I don't like committing to four of. If I play 3, I can play other cards I like too!
Call me weird.
Yeah, that's weird, especially on the stuff like Mystic which you want to see. Monsters runs a ton of 2-3-ofs, but not on the mana-fixing stuff.

Most of the monsters stuff I see runs just 4x Elvish and 4x Caryatid/Rattleclaw; by doing 3 of each, I have 9 dorks instead of 8, but I definitely see where you're coming from.

I've got 3 as well.

4x Anger of the Gods
2x Magma Spray
2x Arbor Colossus
4x Mistcutter Hydra
2x Hornet Queen
1x Tormod's Crypt
I've got 3 as well.
The Indy one is the expected one (32 Caryatids) - The NJ is more of a "Week 2" meta- people had more card availability and Jeskai doing well was NOT an accident because of the way the green decks work.

Man, look at all those Elvish Mystics and Genesis Hydras. So many inneficient creatures and dead draws. Must be a bad day for deckbuilding, I guess.

BBD on twitter mentioned (to me) that they built all their decks to beat Mono-G and had gotten inbred in their testing, forgetting that the rest of the world was going to be on Mono-G since they had all the cards already.
