Tiers are the representation of a deck's popularity. In that regard, UW Control has stopped being Tier 1, after a brief period with a very strong high tier presence. Unfortunately, we don't have numbers, but if the cutoff was at ~5%, I would say that UW Control is a high Tier 2 deck nowadays.
That is not what a tier list is. That would be called a popularity list. A tier list here is a list, in order, of the power level of decks within the current metagame. And power level is defined by something like theoretical power plus results plus metashare, each with different weight, depending on what is usually deemed most important. Popularity is part of it (metashare), but not all of it
I saw the decklist that placed pretty high at the latest scg open and theres a Gideon Jura on the side. Is that for grindy matchups like Control and Jund? Just doesnt seen like a powerful card
Two quick questions:
1. What decks are we bringing Young Pyromancer in against? (If it's in our sideboard)
2. Do we bring in Nihil Spellbomb against Jund?
Do you guys think this deck has staying power? Can it be tweaked to beat the other top tiers?
The reason I think it can is because it runs great cards vs control like Geist, and good cards against Jund like Lingering Souls. Can be tweaked to beat Dredge with a spellbomb, or even it can just win outright but exploiting the new and pretty powerful card Unmoored Ego.
Hi, new here. I noticed the deck that won SCG Open Dallas last week did not use graveyard hate. It faced a field of mostly Dredge and still won. Does this mean it needs graveyard hate or no?
I played against Dredge online a few days ago. Game 3 i put down a Rest in peace on turn 2.... he won on turn 3.... His turn 2 was absolutely insane and i couldnt do anything
I've been playing around with 4 color shadow because I think lingering souls is great and helps vs control and other bad matchups. what do you guys think about my list?
I personally hate queller. There are a lot better sb cards that can be used instead, and it doesn't hit anything we need to worry about like the planeswalkers (besides Liliana of the Veil) and tron cards, Also with trophy coming along it's even worse
