This week in Magic: Some thoughts on Khans sealed

mardu

 

This past weekend was the first time I played in a prerelease in a long time. I’ve been pretty hesitant about them lately since I figured I can always just buy the singles I needed. However, this time was different. Of course, the fetchlands were very enticing, but the idea of playing another 3-colored themed set was a good reason as well.

 

So how was it you ask? I had a blast. Sealed Khans of Tarkir is a lot of fun, and a lot of people seemed to agree with me at the prerelease. Fun fact, did you know our midnight prerelease attracted 116 players that night? It went above and beyond the expectations of some that night. A quick thanks to those who came out.

 

As for me, I played a both events on Saturday. I picked up Mardu in the afternoon and played Abzan later that night. I have to say, both are very different, and very fun to play. I feel in the limited format, being aggressive is key, so I purposefully avoided anything with Blue.

 

I should mention that I’m not one of those players that puts a lot of time into their preparation going into the prerelease. I, like a lot of people, get their information via the previews done that week, and that’s it. Heading into the afternoon event, I didn’t know much. I just read the little card that’s given inside of the prerelease kit.

 

Mardu

From what I read, the Mardu are the really quick and super aggro clan. They try to get in there and beat their opponents down as fast as they can before things get out of hand for themselves. I don’t know if anything you take the time to read those little cards, but sometimes they can be helpful. Keep in mind, the designers of the game created the clans to work well within their colors for a reason. I did my best to stick with those three colors and apply the clan’s “way of life.” My curve was low with numerous “bears.” My game plan was to flood the board as much as I can and just overwhelm my opponent. Furthermore, the raid mechanic proved to be quite a beating.

 

I have to say, I was really impressed with the clan. My promo for the first sealed was Mardu Ascendancy. I have a small feeling that this card will see Standard play. With just four creatures, each one would trigger the Mardu Ascendancy and I would get four more 1/1 Goblins that came into play, tapped, and attacking. With spells like Trumpet Blast and Rush of Battle, things didn’t last long.

 

The downside to Mardu was that if you didn’t end things quickly, the potential to become overrun by your opponent was real. Your creatures would eventually die out to their fatter board. Keep this in mind if you ever decide to play Mardu. My Mardu MVPs were War-Name Aspirant, Mardu Heart-Piercer, and Mardu Warchief. My Mardu Super MVP was Ponyback Brigade.

 

Abzan

Later that night I decided to try my hands at Abzan. I had heard a lot of good things going into the prerelease, but nothing more than compliments. This is an interesting group of colors. My initial reaction to the clan synergy was that they’re a lot like slivers with an obvious catch – you need +1/+1 counters on creatures to gain the bonuses.

 

I struggled a bit building my initial Abzan deck. i stared a it for a long time before settling on the best build I could for my pool. The key mechanic for Abzan is Outlast. It’s quite fitting once you realize that you’ve committed to the long game the minute you select Abzan as your clan. When choosing this clan, you need to prepare yourself for early game beats. While trying to survive early onslaughts, you’ve got to figure out a way to start setting up your long game.

 

My Abzan promo was the Herald of Anafenza. I have to admit, when I first saw the previews of this card, I thought it was one of the worst cards I’ve ever seen. Now that I’ve gotten a chance to play with it, I’ve changed my mind. I may not think it’s terrible anymore, but I do think it’s a hard card to play with. During one of my matches, I had seven counters on him. I had put him to put him to work. Each time I made a creature through his Outlast activation, I had used it to block something big of my opponents. Thank goodness that creature didn’t have trample.

 

Outlast can take a little while to get going. So I had to find ways to put counters on my creatures without using the ability. This was especially the case if I were facing someone who was playing Mardu. That’s where cards like Feat of Resistance and and Dragonscale Boon come into play. Let’s not forget that Abzan Charm was one of the best spells because of its cheap ability to put a counter on one or two creatures.

 

Speaking of creatures, my list of MVPs include Abzan Guide and Ainok Bond-Kin. There were two creatures in particular which take Super MVP titles and they were Abzan Falconer and Armament Corps.

 

Wrap-up

Well, that’s it for now. I know I didn’t talk about Jeskai, Temur, and Sultai, but my hope is that I’ll get the chance to try them out when I go tok GP New Jersey. It’s a Legacy event, but Friday has a full lineup of Khans sealed events.

 

Don’t forget that this Friday is the Fat-Pack Challenge! What is the Fat-Pack Challenge? Well it’s simple. You buy a Fat-Pack and build a sealed deck – that’s nine packs instead of the usual six! Hope to see you there!

This week in Magic: Let’s build a deck!

jeskaicharm
 

 

Welcome to another “This week in Magic.” For this week’s edition we’re going to tackle some Standard. I am a terrible deck builder, so I thought that it would make a perfect topic for this week. With Khans of Tarkir coming out very soon, it’s time to get a little realistic and start thinking about possible deck ideas. Out of all the color combinations, I am a big fan of Jesaki (URW). Although, I’m sure at some point, I’ll find my way playing Mono Red.

 

I guess the first question is where to start. I think the best place would be with the new “Mantis Raider.” This card reminds me a lot of Lightning Angel. In fact, I wish it was Lightning Angel, but you can’t have everything you want, I guess. This guy is going to be the base of our deck. The game plan will be to land him early and hope he sticks around to eventual win us the game. We’re looking at a possible midrange deck here with counterspells and burn spells. Remember, the Mantis is only a 3/3. This means that its vulnerable to Lightning Strike, Bile Blight, and numerous other creature removal spells.

 

In a format where three colors seems like it will be the norm, I feel like we’re going to need some help in the deck manipulation field. I’ve always been a fan of Omenspeaker, but it’s never really had a place in Standard – that is until now. I think it’s going to be great come post rotation. Not to mention they’ll serve as great aggro fodder. A two mana 1/3 wall that can scry 2 for us is nice.

 

The biggest loss that blue will feel is the rotation of Jace, Architect of Thought. As of right now, I don’t think the new Jace can cut it, but we’ve got to start somewhere. Another alternative could be Steam Augury. There was some hype when this card was first spoiled, but since then, it has cooled off a lot; to the point that it’s not even a blip on the radar. Khans may see the comeback of Steam Augury.

 

Mindswipe is a great contender to make the deck. Just like every other card we’ve discussed, Syncopate leaves the format thanks to rotation woes. Mindswipe has some big pros and cons. The big benefit to the card is the ability to burn your opponent. Denying your opponent a spell and punishing them for not being able to cast the spell is rather dirty. However, we lose speed in the spell due to the extra mana needed to cast it. Syncopate was so good because control players were willing to shock themselves in order to Syncopate for one mana. Now the earliest we can counter is on turn three.

 

Speaking of countering on turn three, Dissolve remains in the format and there doesn’t seem to be any other option that is better in that slot. The is, of course, Dissipate, but being able to scry wins in my book. Alright, let’s take a look at this Frankenstein of a deck so far:

 

Jeskai Midrange
4x Mantis Rider
4x Omenspeaker
1x Keranos, God of Storms

 

4x Dissolve
3x Divination
2x Mindswipe
3x Banishing Light
3x End Hostilities
3x Jeskai Charm

 

4x Jace, the Living Guildpact
3x Elspeth, Sun’s Champion

 

4x Mystic Monastary
4x Mana Confluence
4x Temple of Enlightenment
4x Temple of Epiphany
2x Temple of Triumph
4x Island
2x Mountain
2x Plain

 

This thing looks like a pile, but it’s a start! As you can see I finished the deck as I started typing out the list of what we had. I didn’t have the guts to add Steam Augury, but if you think it will work, then kudos to you.

 

End Hostilities is something I am definitely on the fence about. However, this deck does need a board wipe, and we’re limited in that department. I decided to also go all in with the new Jace. I guess the only way we’ll see if he’s good or not is to actually try him out. Also, while Mantis Rider is an excellent creature, we can’t forget that Elspeth is still in Standard. She also pairs extremely well with the new Jeskai Charm.

 

Divination is an important addition to the deck. It’s so important is that not only do we not want to miss a land drop, but not we have to be conscious of not missing certain colors. Banishing Light is a great solution to many things. I’d like to bump that number to four, but what do we cut? Maybe an Omenspeaker? If the field is not as hostile, then it may be safe cut.

 

Finally, check out that lone Keranos. I feel like this is a solid one-of. If you draw him, then it’s going to be a bumpy ride for your opponent, but if you don’t, then it’s not the end of the world. There is a little chance you’ll ever turn him on, but that’s not the main goal here. We want him for his secondary ability.

 

I’m going to end things here for this week. However, I’m going to leave you, the reader, with some homework. First, I would love to know what you think? Are we off to a good start, or should we scrap it and try something else. I’m hoping there is some potential. I know one thing is for sure, that mana base needs some work. So leave your comments and constructive criticism in the comment section down below!

Judge’s Chamber: Morphology 101 by Ken Briscoe

 

 

mtg card back

Get used to seeing the back of this!

 

Why?

You’re probably asking yourself why I’m writing an article about Morph, the mechanic returning (for the third time!) in Khans of Tarkir. Surely it’s not so complex that it needs its own rules explanation…right?

 

WRONG. Read on to see why I, as a Judge, want you to know all the ins and outs. I definitely don’t want to issue any penalties, so as a favor to me, please soak this up…

 

What’s complicated?

Did you know that Morph doesn’t use the stack? That’s right, you can flip the card face-up and pay the cost, and your opponent can’t respond to it. In the same way they can’t respond to you tapping a Forest for green mana. Once you decide that flipping a Morph creature face-up is what you want to do, it just happens. No responses, no triggers, no instants, no nothing will cause this to not happen. No Trickbind or Stifle (even if they’re not in Standard) will stop this. IT JUST HAPPENS. PERIOD. HARD STOP.
OK, so that’s not so bad, but what is? Some cards, such as the recently-spoiled Master of Pearls have triggered abilities that trigger when they are turned face-up. While the act of turning a creature face-up does not use the stack, any abilities that trigger when that happens do use the stack and can be responded to. Other cards have effects that happen as the creature is being turned face up, such as Hooded Hydra. Take the following example:
You attack me with a 3/3 while I control a face-down creature (which, at this point, is a vanilla 2/2). I block, and you have no effects. Surprise, I do! I pay five mana and turn my creature face up to reveal that it’s Hooded Hydra. As it is being turned face up, I put five +1/+1 counters on it.
Remember, this all just happens. No stack involved, and no opportunity for you to Shock my creature. Once it’s face up, you can Shock it, but that won’t destroy it because it’s a 5/5. Once combat damage is dealt, both creatures will die. But once I said that I had effects and paid the Morph cost, it’s too late for you to respond by killing my face-down creature.
Another common question from players who’ve never played with Morph before is one similar to what we recently had with the Bestow mechanic. That is, “When I flip a Morph creature face up, does that count as coming into play?”
The short answer is no. The long answer is no, here’s why: Face-up/face-down is a status, just like tapped/untapped or flipped/unflipped (from Kamigawa-block flip cards). If that piece of cardboard was already on the battlefield and you just move it around a bit, that doesn’t count as entering the battlefield. It counts as staying on the battlefield.

 

What’s My Name?

Heads up, folks, we have a new token. It looks awesome, but as a judge, I have one issue with it.
This looks pretty sweet, with one exception – a Morph’s name, while face-down, is not “Morph”. Face-down creatures do not have a name. No name at all. These tokens are strictly a reminder and not a hard-and-fast representation of the game state.

 

Why does that matter?

I control two face-down creatures. You have Bile Blight. You want to kill one (or both) of them. You cast Bile Blight on one of them. I have no responses. What happens? The answer is that the face-down creature you targeted with Bile Blight is the only one that dies. Why? Because since Morph creatures don’t have a name (despite what that silly token may imply), then they can’t share a name. Which means the creature targeted with Bile Blight will die, its face-down comrade will not.

 

Face-down non-Morph

This is really the impetus for the article.You’re at the pre-release and you decide that you want to bluff your opponent. You decide to pay 3 and put a card into play face-down. Except, since you’re bluffing, you put an instant face-down, not a creature with Morph. Turns go by and you eventually win, maybe thanks to your bluff. Your opponent isn’t so happy but is none the wiser to your bluff.

 

 

DO NOT DO THIS

 

 

Not sure I can express this any other way. Only creatures with Morph should be placed face-down on the battlefield. (Ixidron shenanigans aside.)

 

In fact, if there is a face-down creature on the battlefield, you must reveal it to all players when either of the following things happen:

 

  • The game ends.
  • The face-down creature would move from the battlefield to any other zone. If it’s bounced to your hand, you reveal it. If it’s destroyed, you reveal it. If it’s exiled, you reveal it. If it’s put on top of your library, you reveal it.

 

These measures are in place to prevent the scenario of having an instant (or any other non-morph card) being on the battlefield, either by accident or by an ill-intentioned player.

 

Moving Morphs

“Ah ha,” you’re saying, “I won’t play my non-Morphs face down, but I will move around my face-down creatures on the battlefield so my opponent won’t know which is which!”
This is another one of those “don’t do that” scenarios. While your opponents don’t have the right to know the exact Morph creature that any particular face-down creature is, they do have the right to know certain characteristics about them. For example, they have the right to know the order in which they entered the battlefield. They have the right to know which, if any, are summoning sick, tapped, or have any counters on them.
So my recommendation is to lay out your battlefield in such a way that your face-down creatures are side-by-side in chronological order. This will reduce confusion all around.

 

Speaking of Counters

If a face-down creature has any counters on it, when it’s turned face up, it will retain those counters. So if you cast Hunt the Weak and choose your face-down creature to fight one of my creatures, later on when you turn it face up and reveal it to be that Hooded Hydra from earlier, that Hydra will be a 6/6, not a 5/5.
What about the other type of counter? You cast a Morph creature face-down. I decide I want to counter it, even though I don’t know what it is. What happens? Recall from earlier that if a face-down creature would go from the battlefield to any other zone, you must reveal it. That’s only part of the story. When a face-down spell is countered, it goes to the graveyard face up, like any other spell. So while it’s on the stack, I might not know what the creature is, but if I counter it, I’ll know exactly how good or bad my decision to counter it was.

 

In a Nutshell

So while there are a couple of non-intuitive features to the Morph mechanic, if you remember the following few things, it should get you through 99% of your interactions with Morph:

 

  • Always remember to reveal the Morph at the end of the game, or if it would change zones!
  • Keep your face-down creatures distinct and clearly separated so each player can differentiate them.
    Counters, Auras, and Equipment will stay on the Morph creature even after it’s turned face up (unless the face up creature has protection from the Aura or Equipment).

 

And some strategic advice straight from 2002: Kill the Morph.
Thanks for reading.
