Vampire aggro is a meme deck, Briarbridge-Journal is a viable combo, it sucks that we're losing 4-color support from KTK and the new handlands are shit.

Are you seriously suggesting that every successful tribal deck in the past was some intelligent homebrew that noone expected?
Does this mean Goblins, Elves (excluding the combo builds which were admittedly a little weird) and Merfolk are all memes too?
If it's easier to accept in your headcannon then by all means, but unlike previous tribe attempts (Warriors and Allies for example), Vampires are pretty much universal and will have plenty to draw from in the next block also.

If this guy reveals a topdeck you needed and your opponent mills it it's unfortunate, but situations like this are not that big of a downside. Your deck works like a RNG, instead of a good card it could have been another land for all you know. Renouncing the value this card could give you in a midrange/control deck, at least in standard, only because you could possibly maybe in theory lose a topdeck sometimes (and still getting a consolation burn out of it) is plain stupid.

It's LITERALLY a meme. As in, it being called a "memedeck" is a meme.

It makes itself and plays itself. You could show someone who barely understands the game the cards and they'd see the potential in it. Plus it's the shit everyone's ranting and raving about it and it's the first deck that people will build against.

The point was that vampires are very common. Not as common as Elves or Goblins, but you still find them in almost every set with few exceptions. Those exceptions being Theros and Khans (which still had one), but that doesn't matter since you seem to deliberately be missing the point, and will probably cherry pick those sets as counterpoints.

Relentless Dead looks very powerful.

I like Arlin Kord as a card, but I'm not sure if she'll see any decent play. New Sorin is jank as fuck, but at least does something different from his other version, so I'm cool with that. Everything else goes from "meh" to okay.

What the fuck does the fact that most sets use common tribal types like vampire has to do with anything? There wasn't a merfolk during Theros even tho there were tons of merfolk, there wasn't a goblins deck in Khans despite there being tons of goblins there too.

Since you are clearly new to magic let me help you. The only time tribal decks were a real dominating force was during Lorwyn where there was 3 sets whose sole purpose was to push tribal in a block whose major theme was tribal and hell even then (an now) people bitch about how railroaded deckbuilding was then. But now you think this BW warriors tier deck will somehow be good enough because 1 set has tribal cards (like every set ever) and because "vampire" is a common type??
>>
>>46161064
Because it's tribal, it's literally the point to make it based around one tribe. Tribal has little room for flex slots, but it's not unheard of. INN had BR Zombies which ran Vampire Aristocrat, Hellrider, Knight of Infamy and Thundermaw Hellkite due to their raw efficiency. Those kind of choices will be what seperates the good Vampire decks from the bad ones, but if you think for one minute playing Tittymonster, Jace + Removal.dec makes it any less cookie cutter you're sadly mistaken.

You throw this baseless assumption out like it means something, I've played this game for roughly 12 years, but I don't feel it was necessary to mention.
>Lorwyn where there was 3 sets whose sole purpose was to push tribal in a block whose major theme was tribal and hell even then (an now) people bitch about how railroaded deckbuilding
We're talking about what is strong anon, not what supports creative special snowflake homebrews.
>BW warriors tier deck will somehow be good enough because 1 set has tribal cards
Right now that's a quarter of Standard, soon to be about a third. However you seem to have missed the fact that Kalitas sees a fair amount of play, and Kaalia is a good card that is missing a home.

Even the non-creature spells you play for vampire aggro give themselves away. I'll agree that there will be BR vampire decks which are genuinely good but the basic deck that everyone is oohing and aahing about is the madness-based aggro meme deck.
>>
Just saw the spoilers and I am really digging that devil. I'd like to try a Sligh deck this Standard with that Delirium devil and other arsonist devils for inevitability. Might top my curve with Dance With Devils, I honestly think that that card is playable if you push as aggressively as you can.

Also trying to make it a budget deck in the spirit of RDW, though I may splurge on the Abbotts. I wouldn't mind having a set to hold onto
>>
>>46161267
>I'll agree that there will be BR vampire decks which are genuinely good but the basic deck that everyone is oohing and aahing about is the madness-based aggro meme deck.
It's one of the few aggro concepts that could easily run Lightning Axe to counter Tittymonster in the maindeck. Given how much people are buying into that card I feel that reason alone will make it a force to be reckoned with.
Even if you don't get the Falkenrath Gorger synergy, a lot of vampires come packed with flying and/or haste anyway.

>>46161328
I'll agree that Thing in the Ice is pretty jank in its own way and it's unlikely to see constructed play just due to people building against it.

Once standard has settled after the first three weeks, vampire aggro and tittymonster will both be non-existent but with people still struggling to make them viable, just like with BW warriors.
>>
>>46161342
Right, I know I'm pushing things by considering a 4-drop and I'm trying to run a higher curve on the whole by pushing the Goblin Arsonist theme.

But doesn't a Sligh occasionally run 3-drops to top their curve? In Standard at least? Exquisite Firecraft seems like an obvious choice.

>>46161385

This is literally a card as good as Dark Confidant.

Even better if your deck is filled with Flashback or Delirium stuff.


THAT will break standard. And this is not a little assertion. Let that shit live and you lose. Because you lose in every situation. Even if you hit a land, the guy either says " okay, get one more land to fix your mana " or the guy says " okay, filter your deck even more and I'll allow you to get possible delirium now that fetches are gone ".

The simple answer is to not rely on the janky combos and just spend your clues when you have spare mana.
You'll most likely be playing an aggro/midrange game until you stall, then when nothing is going on you can regain card advantage.

I admit to being a bit nonplussed.

Most of the time it will play out like it reads: "Play with the top of your library revealed. if the card represents more damage then it's mana cost, put it into your graveyard and do damage equal to it's mana cost while your opponent hopes you draw into a land."

Burn and anything that runs cost efficient threats won't get much from it. while decks that care about cards in the graveyard will never have an opponent choose to mill you.

So, it's seems a 3/2 menace for 3 with an irrelevant ability.

Genuinely, What am I missing here?

I hope both of you are aware that the original Boss Sligh was a "standard" deck

>>46161772
You will never get land unless your opponent doesn't want your delirium trigger online.
>>
>>46162190
The fact that that graveyard deck is now either getting stuff in the grave or drawing an extra card every turn, you dingus

Exactly.

>this card is as good as Dark Confidant
Please stop playing magic. Dark Confidant guarantees the draw, and in decks where you run him, the life loss isn't a big deal.

he's also two mana and not three, and thus comes online quicker, and gives you guaranteed gas instead of "maybe" what you need.
>>
>>46162190
>Extra card draw or direct damage every turn the top card isn't a land
>irrelevant
>>
>>46162190

The fact your opponent gets to choose if you get the extra card or not is relatively irrelevant: you wouldn't be getting it to begin with anyway if you hadn't this fairly price 3/2 Menace creature on the board to begin with, and if they decide to not allow you to have it they might still end up getting some damage because of it.

Every turn you get small, but relevant, card advantage or the possibility of direct damage to your opponent for basically free. It's no bob, but Rob can be quite good especially if you have ways to use cards in your graveyard (flashback, snapcaster, etc.).
>>
>>46162412
It's not really irrelevant, but it's also not enough to make you lose your mind over its power. The fact that you lose the card to the graveyard is pretty relevant as well, since red usually isn't using its graveyard as an extension of it's hand, and largely uses it to feed Lavamancer.

It'll make its way into standard because it's a good body for the mana with a good ability on top, but I can't see it in modern.
>>
>>46162253
1) The opponent can only choose where you put the card of the extra draw accorded by the prodder capacity, you still get your normal draw step
2) Aggro deck don't need a lot of land so it's not such a big drawback.

The card could you make you miss a topdeck, but so can do mill. It's a good card in a aggro deck.
>>
>>46162477
I really think midrange decks are the one that will like the card much more.
>>
>>46162379

Actually the life loss is always a big deal for dark confidant decks

Drawing an extra card guaranteed is just so good that it makes up for the life loss

The reason dark confidant is bad in the current modern meta is the life loss

The new guy is definitely not better than dark confidant but, it's all in the fact that it's not guaranteed extra draw
>>
>>46162477
I'm well aware of all that I was responding to the assertion of

>Even if you hit a land, the guy either says " okay, get one more land to fix your mana " or the guy says " okay, filter your deck even more and I'll allow you to get possible delirium now that fetches are gone ".

There is no choose to filter component as that extra cad is always going somewhere, I actually like it a lot it's nice to see red get more nice things I hope it sees the Top 8 lots.
>>
>>46162503
It's a card that raise you chance to draw something useful when you are in topdeck mode or turn the card in damage. Aggro decks will like it because it will allow them to deal the last few damages they need to end the game because of prodder ability and/or because it allowed them to draw the card they need.
>>
>>46162503

Wizards is trying to push red to the higher CMC side for this Standard with things like Rob, Pia and Kiran, Dankmemes Goblins and Fat Chandra, which are all good cards that are more attuned to midrange strategies, but I can see Rob being viable at least as a curve topper or sideboard alternative against control decks even in a very agressive red. But what do I know, I'm bad at Magic.
>>
Rob seems like he's the answer White-Red Boros has been looking for as far as draw-engines go.

Is there an acronym for the 'when you cast ~' mechanic? Since it seems to slowly but surely be replacing ETB. Some in the design team must really have it out for reanimator or other decks that cheat creatures into play.

>>46160523
No, it is by definition, control over an additional draw.

Your normal draw of the turn is untouched.
>>
>>46163100
Not that guy, but I think we can't tell if it's good until we see some decks. The fact that your opponent chooses makes the effect seem bad, though it's another positive to an already quite good body.

I play casually and have no interest in tourneys.

I own ONE kid Jace who's sitting at around $85 right now.
Since he isn't viable as a 1-of (I'm assuming) I'd like to trade him to my shop in exchange for something fun when SOI drops (either a booster box or singles.)

I have a werewolves casual deck that could use Arlinn. Do you guys think she's playset worthy when I have 4 Huntmasters or maybe a 3-of? What do you guys predict about her price at release?

Top bait
>>
>>46163142
It's an efficiently costed attacker with lots of upside. It's a perfect curve topper in burn decks, and will see play in them if the meta moves away from blistering speed linearity, to give the burn deck some reach.
>>
Is someone screencapping every sin prodder naysayer? I don't want to repeat work if yes.
>>
>>46163129
WotC overdid it on the ETB effects. Not only do they make blink cards too good, but now control players are even thinking of using counterspells.

On Cast solves both problems goy.
>>
>>46163247
If you are going to do screencapping then also cap the people saying that RB vamps is going to be competative.

In GATE/INN Standard? Probably not. But they'll be viable in limited.

I don't bother screencapping everytime someone on /tg/ says something contrarian or stupid because of the anonymous nature of the image board they suffer zero consequences from being wrong.

>>46161618
Fine for Standard. In Modern (at least once Eldrazi finally gets nerfed into oblivion) decks will usually either be running the most efficient cards for the job or they'll really want their few 3cmc+ cards because they either enable a combo or have such insane value.

A card that turns a Bolt or Path into 1 damage and keeps you off your own combo at your opponent's choice is a bad card.
>>
>>46159547
What do you mean by it's a "meme" deck exactly?

>The fact your opponent gets to choose if you get the extra card or not is relatively irrelevant:

you suck at evaluating and at logic in general
you would have gotten the card the next turn

so it does make a huge difference and is far from being irrelevant

Latern is a deck because it does matter a fucking lot what you draw

basically you can't play this card whenever you need something
>you need lands
too bad let me mill this for you
>you need answers
let me just Thoughtseize you in your upkeep for free

this card just works if taking damage or you drawing the card ends up being the same in which case I just assume the game is already in your favor, which we all know is just: win more
in any other scenario you are making your opponents deck into "pay life to play Lantern control"
>>
>>46160856
Why is this card good?
>>
>>46163360
Bolt is useless in today's meta though. Murderous Cut/Dismember are the cards of choice, and work great with the shit plopper.

Meanwhile, it doesn't cost you anything, because you still draw a card as normal.

People saying that sin prodder is bad because it makes you lose cards are LITERALLY as bad as card games as hearthstone kiddies when Fel Reaver got revealed.

Bant CoCo. Clues aren't going to do anything by themselves, they're incremental advantage whenever you have leftover mana in a turn.

Bishop will net you clues every turn or two, and end of turn you can cash them in, since after turn five or so you shouldn't need to do anything at sorcery speed.
>>
>>46163434

You're an idiot if you think an unknown card on top of your deck has any meaning to the game. Lantern is good because he can control exactly what you're drawing. Sin Prodder only lets the opponent "control" your extra draw, not your normal one.

Arlin Kord is a decent toolbox planeswalker, but no way in hell it won't drop in price 4-5 weeks after official release. I would wait. I don't think she's good enough to be a 4 of either, she'll never straight up steal games in your favor, she's a slow, steady, value engine.

As for selling/trading Baby Jace I would wait a few more weeks as well, he's going to spike even harder when people see him in action with Madness.
