day 9 playing this selensyna tokens atm. doing oddly well for something he just threw together. new Ajanis beast.
3 gideon blackblade, and ajani the greatheared x3
3 Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants 3 Emmara, Soul of the Accord 4 Flower/Flourish 4 Forest 4 History of Benalia 3 Legion's Landing 2 March of the Multitudes 9 Plains 4 Saproling Migration 4 Sunpetal Grove 4 Temple Garden 3 Tithe Taker 3 Trostani Discordant 4 Venerated Loxodon
The infinite ral, was a bunch of shit. chemists insight, shock, fierycannonade.
4 expansion/explosions, ral, storms conduit, wilderness reclamation.
put down ral 2UR, 4cmc. go full control, cast an instant. cast expansion on it. Cast expansion on the expansion. ping for 1 damage, over, and over, and over.
Tedious as heck, but annoyingly easy to pull off. cheaper then niv or thousand year storm.
decklist doesnt support war cards yet, so, didn't get a copypaste of the whole thing.
He did a silly deck at first, which was very hard to pull of but ridiculous when it did. bolas, dragon god+jace, cunning castaway.. root snare, search, etc.
dragon god has the abilities of every planeswalker. jaces "make 2 copies of jace", becomes.. make 2 copies of bolas, dragon god. which you can do. over, and over, and over.
He only got this off a couple times.
A couple opponents have had nice decks with the cruel celebrant and god-Eternal Bontu.
tithe taker, hunted witness, legions landing,elena the dusk rose , etc.

I highly doubt it. I don't see this set changing the meta that much. Red is still going to be strong and put everything else in check. Everyone thinking every deck is suddenly going to be superfriends is definitely wrong.
There won't be a huge meta shift until stuff rotates out.

I love Dimir! I always end up going Esper when I start building a Dimir deck tho. Adding Mortify and Kaya's Wrath is too tempting, Absorb can be a lot better than Sinister Sabotage, and Lyra Dawnbringer works a lot better than Doom Whisperer as a 5-drop closer. The mana base can just be an issue...
Even more reasons to go Esper once WAR comes out, too. Oath of Kaya, that new 5CMC sweeper (Time Wipe? I think is the name), Dovin's Veto, etc

There are a lot of really powerful, synergistic game changing cards in general, which is why I disagree with mist that the meta will pretty much remain the same. I think it's going to completely explode and we're going to end up with 1 or 2 best decks because it's impossible to balance this very complex set.

lol. I think I've played against that card maybe a couple times. I don't use it as I mainly play Black/Red or Red/Green.
Also I am pretty much only playing Bo1. So I play Mono Blue, RDW, or Esper constantly.
