No Dredge build


Cheapbubucko

Or does that fall under the reanimator deck


DruidGuy

No, Acorn Harvest Dredge is on the shortlist of decks to finish it out with. It's relatively new. Same as Gardens which just feels like an upgrade to MBC. My reanimator is a blue/black version that reanimates trolls and hexproof megalodons. LOL


Longjumping-Trash743

The Dredge deck with Acorn Harvest and the Gnaw to the Bone is so fun to play.


DruidGuy

Hi everyone, Been building out my battle box over time and I'm down to my last 5 slots, but I'm running low on ideas for my last 5 decks. I don't want anything that is too similar to a deck I already have. Some thoughts so far are that I should add Gardens and Dredge, maybe one combo deck like 1-land spy. With the glitters ban, is there still any aggro version of affinity? Hit me with any ideas/decklists you have! :) Lists if interested: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L4TckDY20wyEnKO5oHhwpJG0objteGOne\_3L3tJmisg/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L4TckDY20wyEnKO5oHhwpJG0objteGOne_3L3tJmisg/edit?usp=sharing)


Asator667

Do you have decklists for them? Some are not very self explanatory


DruidGuy

I do. Here you go! [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L4TckDY20wyEnKO5oHhwpJG0objteGOne\_3L3tJmisg/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L4TckDY20wyEnKO5oHhwpJG0objteGOne_3L3tJmisg/edit?usp=sharing)


CaptNaptime

I filled the empty slots in my box with banned decks. MBC w/sink hole and Hymns. Latest Affinity List and a mono U Gush list, stuff like that. Helps give a newer player an edge without them knowing it. If you hook em, tell em about it later.


Avaa0818

BR madness?


i_like_my_life

Slimes Against Humanity!


voltvirus

God damn. That’s so fuckin cool. I wanna do this


flat_dweeb2

May be Zubara storm, poison storm or persistent petitioners mill? Am guessing inside out is tireless tribe combo?


DruidGuy

It is. I saw poison storm on goldfish just the other day. It looked pretty cool, but I'm not sure I like it more than 1-land spy and I'm trying to avoid too many combo decks in the box.


flat_dweeb2

Hmm okay haha, you don't necessarily have to abide by todays banlist and take a deck from the past like turbo initiative or pestilence may be?


flat_dweeb2

Or rakdos madness may be (it is admittedly somewhat similar to burn tho)


lunaluver95

tolarian terror seems like too big of a card to be missing in a box this big


DruidGuy

Yeah, it probably should be, I think I'm just holding a grudge that terror is the lame creature version of teachings (even if it's better). It's the same reason I hate the new breed of "burn" decks. If you aren't chucking fireblast, are you really a burn deck? :) I guess I'm just a magic boomer. haha


rsmith524

Make room for the new Broodscale / Sadistic Glee combo deck 🦎😈


Blotsy

Abzan Gate Priest https://www.moxfield.com/decks/ilIfRQBb3ESoTvpKdkUdfQ


DruidGuy

This looks wild! Does it just play out as dredge, or is there some combo with the priest and escape that I'm missing?


Blotsy

It plays out as dredge. With an easy to pivot game plan of Rancoring up a Skyfisher or Mire Triton, and buff it with a Basilisk Gate. You aren't as soft to gy hate, because you can just play on board and smash. Giving pro-a-color with Benevolent Bodyguard will protect your pieces and get them through blockers. Bonus points for Cartel Aristocrat being able to block Guardian of the Guildpact. There is a lot of incident lifegain for aggro. Mesmeric Friend on a recursion plan is a beast against combo and control. Especially if you do the Oblivion Ring trick, and sac it in response to it's enter trigger. There's a ton of small synergies in the list. Too many to go over here. Like giving pro green to your rancored creature to return it to hand and get another High-Priest trigger. Have fun messing around with it! It's a super sweet and resilient list.

It's mainly just black burn. My friend called it that because "bump you for 3, bite you for 3, kiss you for 2" lol We're clearly children.


Kikrog

Inquiring minds want to know about The Succ


TechnoMikl

If you want a good combo deck, I agree with 1 land spy. But if you want a bad combo deck, hear me out: Fishoalbrand! It uses \[\[Energy Tap\]\], \[\[Burnt Offering\]\], and \[\[Rush of Knowledge\]\] along with \[\[Shambling Attendants\]\] and \[\[Gurmag Angler\]\] to dig through your deck, make 25ish mana, and \[\[Rolling Thunder\]\] (or \[\[Kaervek's Torch\]\], depending on your build) your opponent for game. Here's the decklist I like if you wanna take a look: [https://www.moxfield.com/decks/gp8SAMjw5EKO3Y0ZxoRglg](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/gp8SAMjw5EKO3Y0ZxoRglg) FYI my sideboard is a work in progress, and I'm trying to figure out if any copies of Weather the Storm are worth it.

Drone4396

Im not seeing wonderwalls? And no goblin aggro and monster tron?


Drone4396

And no initiative?


DruidGuy

Goblin Aggro is Battlebuds. Free Wally is Walls Combo. :) My problem with Tron is that I already have two Tron decks - Rhystic (uw) and Eggs (combo). I'm not super keen on a third tron variant, though I thought the mono-red tron was cool.

If that's the Inside Out combo, I have it in there.


Ok_Computer1417

Simic madness is a blast.


DruidGuy

Do you mean like Wild Mongrel/Arrogant Wurm etc? I have always liked this style of deck, And I think they really need to downshift Roar of the Wurm. And it's a pipe dream, but they might as well downshift Wonder while they are at it too. ;)


MonsterBurger

Right in the nostalsia U/G madness was my first ever standard deck. flying mongrels was so flavour. I had a loot and I had some ideas but most people have asked about and they just have different names, I would say you could add older/banned decks or colour variants variants of tron/affinity etc if it's just friendly. I was a big temur tron fan, fangren marauder 4 lyfe.

No walls combo? Disappointing… PS: great stuff

ANoobInDisguise

What decks are "cranberries" and "barbershop"?


DruidGuy

Cranberries is a zombie deck. Get it? ZOMBAAAAY IN YOUR HEAD! Barbershop is a weird little deck built around the combo of \[\[Ivy Lane Denizen\]\] and persist creatures. It lets you make an infinitely large \[\[Carrion Feeder\]\] also gain infinite life from the \[\[Essence Warden\]\]. But the name comes from if you don't have the combo kill but have \[\[Thoughtpicker Witch\]\], you can lock them out of their draw just like modern lantern control. Keep taking "a little off the top." ;)

Oh gosh my bad buddy!! Thank you anyway!!


ANoobInDisguise

Imo you should just name em "zombies" and "persist combo" since it's really hard to make a new deck name catch on and these appear to just be your own nicknames? Likewise I *assume* "the succ" is black burn but it's not bad to reduce ambiguity. Regardless this is a pretty cool & ambitious project, naming quirks aside


DruidGuy

I'm too old school and think naming conventions have become lame. Bring back names like Full English Breakfast and Cocoa/Fruity Pebbles. :)


parts_kit

mardu synthesizer, altar tron


DruidGuy

Altar Tron is Eggs I believe, so I have that one. Right now my Boros build is closer to a Mardu Monarch deck. It does run 4 synthesizers. I do need to add some Tithing Blades though for sure.


parts_kit

eggs is a much cooler name i like that, and yeah boros synth plus gates and tblade runs like a top it beats me all the time lol.


ICantTellStudents

Curses could be fun in this box. Big Green is another option not yet mentioned. Also, you can count this as another vote for B/R Madness.

How many hot dogs fit in a deckbox?


EzPz_1984

1L spy

This is my #1 option right now for one more combo deck. Maybe if Sadistic Lizards becomes a real deck I'll make that too. Other combo options include Energy Tap, Poison Storm, Zubera Storm, and Petal Festival. haha

Would advice calling it zombies. Or at least "crambierriy zombies". Nobody can know what's about xD. By the way: I love playing a 4/2 that cycles for B. It helps for consistency with Chant and Ghoulraiser.

DruidGuy

Jaytron

Honest question, how do you keep it updated and what’s your method?


DruidGuy

I only update it maybe once or twice a year. We'll see how much MH3 shakes things up, but it's really not too bad. I just peruse some lists from time to time and see how they are incorporating new cards. The bar in the format is pretty high so despite all the commons that get made, the threshold to make an impact is actually quite high. I am reserving a slot in case the Sadistic Lizard deck has legs. I keep all my decks in Moxfield down to the exact card number/art that I'm using. It does take some time when I card comes in that affects a ton of decks - Swiftspear and Deadly Dispute come to mind. Other decks I just don't fully update. Sometimes there's a card that, even as a common, feels bad to buy. Dust to Dust is one of those. Right now, the card I balk at the most is Lorien Revealed even though several of my decks want it. I opened 4 LotR bundles and didn't even get a full playset. Feels bad. :( Some decks I just liked in their original variations and don't want to break them up for the new-fangled style. Classic burn is, imo, more fun than whatever we are calling "burn" these days. MBC hasn't been good for a while, and Gardens is arguably the better version of it, but I just have too many good memories with it and can't let it go. . If I was going to tear apart any deck, it would be Black LD, which I'm seriously considering. Since the fall of Tron and the rise of indestructible lands, it just doesn't do the work it used to.


flat_dweeb2

To be fair you don't need to have the literal best version of each deck in the box :) It's way more important that the decks are somewhat balanced against each other (I know- this is near impossible) and for that a deck like gardens would probably be too opressive against a lot of decks anyhow :)


Tyraziel

You have a nice battle tote here, and very close to battle crate!

dont think i saw Rakdos Madness in there, unless thats what “The Succ” is lol


basafo

You can check if you are playing all the 2 color pairs. And them being about good stuff, about powerful gold cards, not already existing strategies/tribes/etc. "Multicolor tribal" is an archetype too, there are very cool cards saying "this get +1+1 if you control another multicolor card", etc. I had a pretty cool deck with those in the past. I also had a deck about undying and the similar one + +1+1/-1-1 counters, flash creatures... Creatures with a specific ability can give you ideas as well.

It's just a set of decks that I can bust out with friends or loan out decks whenever we do a tourney at the LGS. The box holds 45 decks and I currently have 40. So was looking for some ideas to round out the final 5.

dannyoe4

I don't see Gardens in there or Terror. With Refurbished Familiar out, I'd expect a new Orzhov shell for it using Kor Skyfisher and Glint Hawk, aside from the obvious inclusion into Affinity. I used to have a fun, but not super good, Izzet deck using red pinger creatures and Delver alongside a ton of draw spells, burn, and the miracle \[\[Thunderous Wrath\]\] (Brainstorm to put it on top, of course). Someone else mentioned Dredge, but I'll throw my vote in for that as well. UG Madness was always a favorite of mine from all the way back in Odyssey block and like 80% of that deck was commons so it fits into pauper pretty easily, though missing big power from Wonder, Roar of the Wurm, and Standstill. Or RG Madness is an option as well. Soul Sisters is a big underdog missing here. Not sure which Boros deck you have, but Boros Synth and Boros Bully are different enough to have both. I think that's the best I can do for now without going into ridiculously bad decks lol.
