Deck looks quite identity-less to me with grindy and assertive cards in the same pile, several taken in the name of a kinbinding that will just be in the bottom half of our deck, well, half the time

I like spikeling here! Handful of cards in our pool already that want an assertive first striker with all types. I'm not a fan of diluting my deck to maximize on a bomb if I don't have efficient ways to reliably see it (card draw+interaction, tons of selfmill [with more upside than impulse], tutors)

I agree with most of this, except morphose being deck thinning. Cantrips draw you .4 of a land, and this one is only conditionally free. Unreliable splash source and conducive to flood, idt it's ever worth taking this early over a real 2 drop

Isn't manowar just a much better card than navigator + more flexible + no failcase?

Thank you for the response! Postboard, do you think we're allowed to annul ascension or is nursery too strong to tap out of interaction for it?

Do you have advice for dimir mid players wanting to fight this deck? The matchup has felt extremely hard

tedfro @tedfro.bsky.social · 13/02/2026
No that's a pretty weak pack, but I'd personally consider it a high pick to be any time before like pick 7-8, with a strong preference for taking them on the wheel. Just did a quick look at all my decks on arena, and I never had to run more than 2 changelings in any deck

tedfro @tedfro.bsky.social · 13/02/2026
Seems potentially a bit hope chess-ish to me? Even if we see a few very powerful typal payoffs, it leads to quite a bit of "drawing the wrong half of your deck" issue with such large power level differentials in our 40

tedfro @tedfro.bsky.social · 13/02/2026
I wonder if part of it is expecting to run short of playables due to competitive PT pod draft testing

tedfro @tedfro.bsky.social · 13/02/2026
Taking changelings so highly really caps the ceiling of your decks I've noticed. This deck kinda just has no reason to care about them, they're mostly vanilla Ds on rate with potential upside when you draw the best card in your deck?

Do you believe you are using it in a way the aggregate stats aren't showing? Numbers on it aren't fantastic, but it's a relatively straightforward card to maximize on so I couldn't imagine the ceiling being that much higher

tedfro @tedfro.bsky.social · 06/02/2026
I'd imagine if a darkness descends deck does exist, you would get into it by opening treefolk/giants first, then picking up descends as a reward for being in this lane already. Nobody else wants the card (esp in bo1), so it's likely a quite reliable wheel that we don't want to spend a real pick on

tedfro @tedfro.bsky.social · 05/02/2026
Interestingly I feel my card eval fundamentals are much stronger with a baseline of data to base future card evals on (but likely less creative/ceiling-coded)
010
tedfro @tedfro.bsky.social · 04/02/2026
imo both examples raise the floor + raise the ceiling in some ways (avg stronger rate cards) + lower the ceiling in others (fundamentally weaker plans) communication skills likely remain the same for great players, but specifically worse communicators can use it as a crutch to resist development
010
tedfro @tedfro.bsky.social · 04/02/2026
Curious how you feel about netdecking/constructed deckbuilding fundamentals in the same vein I could see arguments for raising the floor of deck quality enabling or inhibiting higher skills

Did you consider 9-9 mana for the U 2 drops?

teams will miss things in their testing every event, which is why the meta never fully converges on one deck, but they're operating on the limited information they have available to them and picking varied (perceived) mid decks is less likely to succeed than a smaller sample of above average decks
010
tedfro @tedfro.bsky.social · 06/12/2025
imo the way to optimize at least 1 player's success is if everyone plays what they view to be the best deck, which is likely to converge on 1-3 options bc these teams test together to collect data on the major contenders and purposefully diversifying beyond that is choosing to disregard testing data

Trying to do my part as well! Unfortunately, the card is pretty hard to lose with

Isn't this kind of most movies with a "villain" though? They try to have us empathize with the antagonist who is well-meaning but misled so it doesn't turn into a good vs evil disney cornfest

My assumption was that the decent stats come from when you can enable it to have an etb

tedfro @tedfro.bsky.social · 28/11/2025
You could say the same about any 4+ mana no etb no protection creature imo

Most winning black archetype + works with draw 2 synergies + signpost is the 3rd highest WR below rare + grabbing duals is a sign the archetype is open -> may have more signposts in deck? it will go down though, def sample size

Removal good? I wonder if it's important to play to the board this format as well🤔

WWCC: Target opponent can't cast creatures or removal and cannot make tokens. Monstrous rage is banned. If opponent doesn't cast creatures or removal, this effect lasts for 5 turns. and that's with zero synergies... on board tricks are toxic
