New Primers / Modular Landfall Series: Part 1 (Gx Landfall, 2 Decks In 1)

« on: December 15, 2021, 03:28:34 pm »

Hi there! Welcome to the core of my Modular Landfall deck (based on the articles that Tomer from MTGGoldfish released about Kicker and Auras).

I always find it really hard to decide what deck to build, and what strategy I want to focus on on a particular day. I also struggle with wanting to make decks with *similar* themes, but not exactly focused on the same thing. That's why I gravitated so quickly to the idea of a "Modular" EDH deck- a deck that consists of a mono-colour Core (in this case, green), and two sets of augmentative cards of a different colour that allow you to explore the 'core' strategy you're focusing on in different ways!

This core in particular is focusing on Landfall, and currently consists of two decks- one UG Aesi deck (based on my previous list here: https://deckstats.net/decks/13738/1135456-one-hell-of-a-land-lady-2021-r/en) that focuses on generating tons of card advantage and value to win the game using one of several combos; and one GW Maja, Bretagard Protector deck that wants to use our lands to flood the board with tokens and overrun for the win instead! I'm currently working on RG Omnath fatties and BG Gitrog as well, so stay tuned for those!

I'm really happy with how this turned out, and I'm looking forward to tweaking the decks further as I go! For simplicity's sake, I'm going to link both the 'upgrade packs' of cards to morph this core into one of the above strategies, as well as the full decks themselves here. Please feel free to provide feedback, and if you have any other ideas for me I'd love to hear them!!

Hey guys! The deck is now officially updated with the cards I think suit it most from MH2 and AFR, mostly just to increase efficiency. The two biggest additions by far are You Find the Villains' Lair, as either a hard counter or another looting effect; and arguably even more importantly, Sorcerer Class. SC is an all-star include- it loots for 2 mana, turns Rielle and our Krakens into mana dorks, and can turn into another finisher in the late game.
I'm also currently trying out Diamond Lion, partly because I think the card is cool, and partly because an instant speed wheel that can generate counterspell mana actually seems worthwhile for 2 mana. That one will remain to be seen though!

Primers / Re: The Rielle Deal: It's Time To Stop Sleeping On Rielle, the Everwise!!

« on: April 07, 2021, 10:03:11 am »

Thanks for the feedback!! With regards to Hullbreacher/Narset, Parter of Veils, it comes down to personal preference. I feel there's a big difference between controlling the board and just stopping your opponents from playing the game at all, and Hullbreacher/Narset both cross that line into degeneracy and toxicity in a major way for me, to the point that I never even considered including them. Again, thats a personal conviction though, so I should definitely have mentioned them in the wincon session, in case anyone wanted to go that route!

Glint-Horn Buccaneer is something I've tried in the past, but alongside Brallin, Skyshark Raider, I personally didn't find them that effective in closing out the game. I did mention Glint-Horn above though!

Finally, Tolarian Winds and Dangerous Wager are cards that I've tried as well and found to not fit my playstyle. In the In-Game Tips section, I mentioned that I much prefer to selectively wheel with cards like Turbulent Dreams or Channelled Force than outright wheel away my entire hand. Winds was in the deck for maybe 6 months before I cut it, because even though it's handy I was struggling to find moments I wanted to cast it. The four wheels remaining in the deck are there in part for politics, and part because they represent big damage, such as in the case of Fateful Showdown. They're two great includes if you're going the drawing your entire deck route though!

I hope all that makes sense!!

Thanks!! It really is, would definitely recommend giving her a whirl if you get the chance! Haven't had the chance to participate in any tournaments in the past year with everything that's going on I'm afraid, but I've been playing online a lot with the deck and it's held it's own against both casual and competitive shells. Again though, that's my personal experience of it, so can't comment for sure!
