Hey Jhonny! Thank you for sharing :)! So, the list looks really interesting. But I find some cards to be too ''cute'' for the current metagame, and in general. The first one's got to be Grey Merchant: - Too slow, 5cmc, and you don't even play many black permanents. I would play something like Dauthi Voidwalker over GMOA all day :) Costing less and protecting your from GY strategies. Second is: Damnable Pact - Cute with Orcish + Sheoldred, helpful when you need to draw. But it's also very slow and does pretty much nothing early. So, I would suggest something like this: -3 GMOA -2 Damnable pact -1 Dark Deal -1 Toxic Deluge +3 Fatal Push +2 Inquisition of Kozilek +2 Dauthi Voidwalker About the Sideboard -> Go Blank seems very good 10/10 would include. Unstoppable Slasher? I don't really see the point. What MU is he going to make better? :D Archifiend? Same as above! Same for everything. I know they look cute but I don't think they bring something to the cause :) I would: -12 spicy beasts +2 Graveyard Trespasser +4 Break The Ice +1 Toxic Deluge +2 Long Goodbye +1 Nihilspellbomb +1 Extirpate +1 Ratchet bomb What do you think about this changes? :)
Hi Valamor! Thanks for the reply! I won't fault anyone for streamlining the deck to make it less janky, but more competitive. I like your main deck changes, particularly the addition of instant speed interaction now that Splinter Twin is back. The one thing I would keep in is Damnable Pact. I really like the idea of having a late-game finisher that can give the deck some reach, which is one reason Gray Merchant was in the deck (a bit of a holdover from when I originally had Underworld Dreams in, as well). As to the sideboard, I think moving away from a transformational boarding plan to one that shores up MUs against the meta is a totally legit approach. Personally, I like using transformational boards when I have one main-deck line of attack that is easily disrupted after boarding. That being said, most people aren't gunning for our strategy AND in my limited testing, the Midrange version of the deck that it becomes after boarding is too slow. I like Sheoldred's Edict in the board and would consider finding room for it over some of the GY hate. What decks have you been working on lately?
@@cyclesgaming. I've been working on inquiry+waste not :) Also with Tinybones. The sideboard plan, becoming mid-rangeish and boarding out The Rack could be considered, but those pieces are just too slow. Dauthi, GY Trespasser, Tombstalker are probably more solid options, Nethergoyfs too probably. I find your builds really interesting and font of ispiration :) Keep up the good work!
@@valamorthings Thanks for the kind words! Email me if you ever want to discuss a deck in more detail (johnnycycles16@gmail.com). I just noticed you also played Cat Tribal last month. It was one of my most fun janky decks in recent memory! Looking forward to seeing your Waste Not deck in action!
