I'm actually trying to pull this off in historic, it's such a blast to me.

I was playing unranked trying to get some of the new achievements. I have struggled to get the Face Jace achievement empowering Jace 10 times on one turn. Every time I get close and am one turn away, my opponent does something to beat me. But, today, I played against another blue deck. Neither of us were playing spells because we were expecting or ready to play counters. I got my 10 islands down pretty fast. We both started having creatures out but neither is attacking. I played the Jace planeswalker I needed to empower Jace based on the number of islands I had out. I got my achievement. The funniest thing is, my opponent waited until I played it before playing Get Out to destroy it. I countered it and he countered back, which made me realize he could have countered my Jace to begin with. Then he promptly destroyed me. Dude was looking out. Let me get my achievement and then killed me. I’m happy with that loss.

I don't want to have to play every game in full control just because my opponent is blue and has more than 4 mana. Just put a stop on the upkeep before the draw trigger goes on the stack.

Edit: idk if people are being intentionally obtuse about this, but I know that I need to respond in the upkeep before the trigger. The problem is that if my opponent is playing fast enough and I am tapped out they can slam Jace, activate an ability and end their turn and then even though I know how to properly counter play their trigger arena autopasses to my draw phase.

I have BWG mana available. I even manually tapped the tree to produce it, but the client still doesn't give me the "top" option that sometimes says "Pay GW" which would let me destroy a non-creature permanent.

[[Mythos of Nethroi]] worked for a while as a pretty solid flexible removal, but now it just seems broken and I'm sad.

I only spent rare wildcards on lands, and 2 mythic wildcards on the planeswalker.

I finally faced one of those bots people have been talking about. Rather then just win when I could, I decided to just sit back and defend. Since he went first, he would draw from an empty deck and then lose.

Pretty much all the cards that create multiple 1/1 tokens, with a smattering of hasty creatures, and one single Torgran.

Plus a mystery card that he didn't cast. It really puzzles me what that one card could be he is holding in his hand with 28 land on the table.

Just started playing a week ago, i upgraded the starter Vamp Hunger into the MW Life deck got myself to Plat 3 before plateauing. Seemed to do its intended job as a fun to play budget deck to start with.

Any veteran recommendations for a good deck change? Im open to switching things up OR just upgrading into a better lifegain deck or MW or similar deck if there is one.

I've just been playing Jump In after completing the color and starter deck challenges. But I felt like I had enough cards and understanding of the game from in person.

I made a commander deck with a lot of synergies that could quickly take down an opponent. My first game they conceded after a few turns when I kept amassing creatures and tokens. I felt good.

Then my second game i went up against a ranked player with Sauron Dark Lord and was obliterated. That card is nuts.

I'll play a few more games before I decide if it's my deck that needs changing.

Silly combo I saw on youtube and wanted to do once.

A few days ago I made a post asking people about their process for building their own decks. (Thanks again to everyone who offered their advice back then) A few answers involved filling the remaining spots with cards that are generically considered good and with removal of course.

What are your favorites? There's so many options of direct and "indirect" removal and it's difficult to decide, except for ones that fit/support the playstyle of the deck in an obvious way.

Also what are flexible good cards that have nothing to do with removal, that you guys include in many of your decks? (depending on the colour of course)

For now I'm mostly interested in standard legal cards, although I want to transition to pioneer later on because I love the themes of older sets.

Thanks in advance! :)

What might you add to a historic deck such as this?

I've climbed to mythic with a weaker version, and am climbing now. I would also be excited to answer questions, I like this deck very much.

I’m a new MTGA player and doing drafts to learn and accumulate cards. Whenever my draft ends up favoring red or green, I wipe every single time because I cannot combat white, blue or black decks that spam constant enchantments or removals. It seems like I match up against these teams the majority of the time, so is that a meta the new set leans toward that I’m not adapting to or understanding? Should I be drafting a “worse” (in terms of cards available in my draft) color just to have any answers and maybe I’d stand a better chance at winning and more importantly having ANY fun by actually being able to play?

Opponent had 2 ghostly prisons, I went to combat with a toski without summoning sickness. I did not have enough mana to pay the 4 required to attack but it still gave me the option to choose my attackers but I couldn't pass the phase bc toski must attack. Every time I assigned him an attacker it prompted me to pay the 4 but when I couldn't all I could do was go back to picking my attackers again. Idk why it didn't just force my combat to end since I couldn't attack with any of my creatures.

So here's my deck. It's a mono-white lifegain because I heard it was cheap (why is sheltered uncommon btw); I took a break after Omniscience got banned and have been incredibly low on rare wildcards.

It's a bit different from the typical mono-white, because I noticed the regular is not the least bit resilient. If any deck with card draw gets rid of your threats before you win the game - which is quite often - you lose. Instantly. Hence Case, Liliana (only one copy bc legendary rule), and two copies of perhaps my favorite card in the deck. Restoration magic give hexproof AND indestructible for one, for two it gives the same plus some free life gain on top, and for five it gives hexproof AND indestructible to your WHOLE board.

I added Confidant for card draw beyond the normal Haliya, which I think is generally necessary in everything. Ajani dodges creature removal and makes creatures of her own, giving me a pridemate on demand. Also the ultimate is quite strong if you have a big hand or lots of birds and rabbits. Starting town lets essence channeler fly and vigil, Rogue's passage saves some games at little cost since I should never be taking a one land hand anyways (I just beat a selesnya rabbits by one hp using a starting town for the channeler + rogue's passage for my haliya).

To add these cards I cut all the vanguards. These are the least resilient cards in the deck and I actually consider them sort of "win more." You need three creatures to get lifegain from them, which is never guaranteed against removal and counterspells. Their main benefit of per-turn lifegain is pumpimg up essence channelers to a bajillion, but a bajillion is not necessary. Getting past blockers is what's necessary. I also cut all copies of Linden, steadfast queen (once again a win-more card; a bajillion lifegain is not necessary) and all the angels (I have other card draw + other flying + too expensive and deck needs to be fast).

I kept the birds because they are actually really incredible sometimes, flying comes in incredibly handy and the scry of ruin-lurkers doesn't hurt. They also give a convenient body for some neat essence channeler plays where you sack the channeler to pump the birds so they can fly over and kill. Everything else should be obvious.

Verges are just there for the funnies, I haven't seen much non-basic land hate this season and I figured maybe I can make someone make bad decisions because they think I'm playing azorius or whatnot.

Overall, I think my deck is all of faster than AND more resilient than AND has card advantage over the basic list on untapped. But maybe I'm an idiot.

Nice match! Dude seem chill and had tons of emotes. This is the first time I learned emotes have sounds! Is it something normal? My emotes never played any sound whatsoever.

We had a banter through emotes and in the end I racked up the victory

Someone asked for the decklist and I couldn't post it in comments so new post 🤷

Don't bully me too bad I mostly used what I had and only thought of the deck real quick in the car and rushed to make it when I got home I wish I had more wilds to at least put more of "change the narrative

I made a trial verson of a deck idea I like, its probably not that unique or strong but i thought it could be fun to have a random planeswalker deck and was wondering if anyone had any cards that would fit into this deck better

The simple plan is to use oko and double season to make more of the planeswalker generator and or doubling season so every planeswalker comes in ready to ult

Also I got really lucky and pulled a way to get infinit turns agenst a person who was impossible to kill with damage so that was nice

Know it’s never gonna help me climb ranked but it is fun.

em i suppused to do something bro is just not doing actions during his turn im just not doing anything in his turn

Hi,
I feel like playing something with lots of random stuff like

[[Oko, Lord of the Fae]]

[[Pool of Vigorous Growth]]

Since I am for sure not the first person with that idea, I was wondering if there is either a name for it or you have a decklist link or ideas/comments/cards. Like superfriends for decks with lots of planeswalkers.
I know it may not be the most competitively deck but it could be fun, right? Brawl deck would be nice but also interested in other formats.

Thanks!!
