Build a deck from my Limited pool

Postby ( G_R ) » Sat Jul 26, 2014 5:42 pm

So, I tried my hand at a giveaway M15 pre-release on MODO. I got my butt handed to me (I did win my first game every match, but then I got crushed, lost 3 matches and conceded the fourth because parenting). At least I got free cards including a Scuttling Doom Engine, so I got that going on for me which is nice. I built a [mana]WU[/mana] deck with many fliers. What would you have built?

I probably would have played green. Your best bomb was green and you had some synergy cards in your pool. Shaman of Spring is good with Roaring Primadox and Invasive Species in Sealed, it's an expensive draw engine, but draw engines are better in Sealed than in Draft because they're harder to come by. You also had a Mystic and some big blockers early on. Soul of Zendikar, while not the BEST soul, is still very good and will take over a game pretty quickly. Hunt the Weak is also not horrendous. White as the secondary would probably be best. You had everything you'd ever want in white. Triplicate Spirits, Devouring Light, the good flying dudes. You even had some sideboard removal in Pillar of Light, which while ordinarily isn't good in the maindeck, becomes way better once you know what your opponent's bomb is. :)

The flyers deck is sweet but it feels tough to build in M15 unless you get a LOT of Welkin Tern and Sungrace Pegasus. Even then, it's tricky to beat any spiders, most of which are at common and very good. If they play a Netcaster Spider you get rekt.

I can see playing UW but I think the 2x Living Totem on top of the Soul seals the deal for GW for me. You have 2x Evolving Wilds for aggressive sideboarding also (Peel, etc)
Standard hobos who play budget garbage should be looked upon with suspicion.
