This thread is meant to collect and test ideas for beating the New Top Deck after Pro Tour
Hour of Devastation - Ramunap Red; remember, this is for standard format:
These are just some ideas (I hope you all will add more!) listed, by color:
White -
Authority of the Consuls.
Fumigate probably takes too long to cast?
Lifelink creatures to keep up with damage and flyers to go over.
Cast out for Hazzie.
Black - -1/-1 counters seem like it would be good against small red creatures in ramunap red, and enough work against hazoret, i suppose. Gets around the 'cannot block' shenanigans of
earthshaker kenra and
ahn crop crasher. Other instant removal. Forced discard (RR only has
earthshaker kenra that eternalizes, I believe).
Hour of GloryGreen - Fight instants to avoid non blocking, fogs, appetite if harvester
ends up being popular?. This seems like a weak color match.
What is green's anti-hazoret card?Blue - maybe milling, definitely flying, and draw to keep up? Instants (
unsummon,
dispel) and enchantments (
unquenchable thirst) vs hazoret?
Hazoret seemed to be a key to this deck's victories this past weekend, and the price spike says we will be seeing it a lot in standard; I bolded Hazoret answers above.
This is by no means meant to be an exhaustive list. Rather I would love more input from others. For those of you not entirely turned off by ramunap red's presumed top deck status, how are you planning on facing it down? For those of you who are turned off, please share your insights as well.
