I’d been bored with this standard for a while, but stumbled on this Rakdos Powerstone list that top 8’d recently and its a lot of fun, while putting up results.
Deck 4 Automated Artificer 4 Bloodthirsty Adversary 4 Thran Spider 3 Phyrexian Fleshgorger 4 Cityscape Leveler 3 Go for the Throat 3 Sheoldred’s Edict 4 Gix’s Caress 2 Excavation Explosion 3 The Mightstone and Weakstone 1 Portal to Phyrexia 2 Mountain 2 Swamp 4 Sulfurous Springs 1 Battlefield Forge 1 Caves of Koilos 4 Blackcleave Cliffs 4 Haunted Ridge 1 Shattered Sanctum 1 Sundown Pass 2 Mirrex 1 Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance 2 Takenuma, Abandoned Mire
What are you all playing till WOE is upon us?
I haven’t been playing too much Standard, but I have my pet Golgari Titania Meld deck, and I have a so-so Mono-G list and a Gruul modified list.
That does look like a fun twist on the Rakdos that we’ve all been subject to for the last few months!
I too wish that RG modified was maybe half a tier better. The opening of oily G 1 drop, into +1/+1 counter on creature elf/ [[Kumamo V Kakazan]] followed by [[Feldon of the third path]] into [[Kodama of the West Tree]] is great provided oppo doesn’t have any interaction.
[[card name]] to call
Yeah, I often try to roll like:
Turn 1: Evolving Adaptive or Kumano Faces Kakazan
Turn 2: Quirion Beastcaller Turn 3: Kodama of the West Tree for ramp, or Migloz for aggression Turn 4: Halana and Alena or Thundering Raiju
If your opponent hasn’t removed your stuff along the way, they’re basically dead.
