The sequencing of Cruelty of Gix is kind of insane. Step 1, check the opponents hand and take their best card. Step 2. Tutor your library for the best answer to their hand or something they cannot deal with. Step 3. Get pseudo card advantage by either reccurring a creature or hijacking one from your opponent.

I thought that with the loss of a lot of double mana lands multicolored decks would suffer and mono color decks would have a chance to shine but with this domain mechanics it seems 5 color decks will dominate the meta for a while and we'll be forced to play at least 3 colors. Also seems like cheap cost creatures will run into a wall fast or be wiped out of the board. Perhaps all of this was intentional to make aggro decks suffer. Everything you said resonated with what I was thinking from all the VIPs that I watched. Thanks for the video it was very insightful!

New evergreen keyword abilities that are needed at this point: Anchored --> This creature cannot be exiled. Stable --> This creature's toughness cannot be modified. Either/both could also say by spells and abilities your opponent controls if necessary, though I generally like global effects that affect interaction, i.e. shroud over hexproof/ward. There is far too much exile and -X effects these days.

I still think Shivan Devastator will be good. I'm imagining not many content creators were playing Boros Burn/Aggro cause it's not very interesting, but I feel that the Shivan Devastator slots straight into that slot that Aspirant left. Playing a 1/1 on two isn't great, but can chip in for damage every turn, and when you draw it on turn 6 and get to finish the game it will also be good. I'm assuming Boros will still be the best deck in the format (but I could be wrong about that, in which case this pick will be wrong too), and I'm assuming content creators didn't want to play it cause of how overplayed it has been in the old standard.
@moocowp4970
2 жыл бұрын
I suspect Mono White is probably going to be the second best deck still too (maybe best deck). Again, I doubt any content creators made the old standard Mono White deck in the early access event, because it's not interesting content. But not only will Mono White and Boros Burn be some of the best decks most likely, they will also require the lowest amount of wildcards (because people already have most of the deck), so the temptation to play them is higher than Jodah decks. But if Zur and Shanna, or other lifelinkers, end up being amazing, then I guess the meta could be dramatically shifted.
