Topics

Hello guys,



I will leave the council for personal reasons. I just finished my Bachelor and going over into a new chapter of my life, which doesn't leave as much free time as I would like for my beloved hobby Magic and my favorite format Highlander. I won't find too much time to play and also moved away from my local community. Therefore I decided that it's the best for the format and there for you guys to step back and give someone else the chance to bring out format forward. I didn't wanted to stay and be inactive as a member of the council, our format has enough dedicated people to fill the spot a lot better, then me right now.

I hope I will find time to play in some bigger tournament in the future to meet some of you guys again.

Greetings

Jan

Single cards explanations:


Ban-Watchlist:

Back to Basics and Blood Moon

We are aware Back to Basics and Blood Moon often create frustrating play experiences. There is a long history of debate about those cards and on whether they should be legal or not. Currently, we are of the opinion that – despite the negative side effects which come along with them – both Back to Basics and Blood Moon should stay in the format because they serve as stern punishers for the more "greedy" multicolored strategies. This primarily means combo decks, which currently are some of the better performing decks overall.

Bring to Light and Scapeshift

In an effort to weaken the Scapeshift archetype – to take the wind out of its sails, so to speak – we first thought that banning a tutor from which only the Scapeshift deck profited would be a good idea. In the end though and after some more deliberation, we believe Bring to Light to be interchangeable in the deck and that a ban wouldn't reduce the overall power-level of the deck by enough. This, together with the fact that banning an otherwise totally fine card would be a strange thing to do, leads us to removing Bring to Light from the ban watchlist.

Instead we opted for a watchlisting of Scapeshift itself. This move seems harsh at first glance but ultimately enables us to make the appropriate decision, should the need to act arise. This is because not only do we now have the option of banning Scapeshift directly but also have the important role-players on watch as well. These would be Treasure Cruise, Dig Through Time, Demonic Tutor and Mana Drain. A banning of one of those would hit Scapeshift in a meaningful way (rather than not very much at all like with the banning of Bring To Light).

Basically we have now set us up for three possible scenarios:
First, ban Scapeshift directly if the deck overly dominates other options.
Second, ban one ore more important roleplayers or tutors in order to weaken the core of the deck.
Third, ban nothing at all if the deck continues to be strong but without dominating other options.


Unban-Watchlist:

Birthing Pod

It can be argued, the current metagame creates incentives for players to play blue-based decks, maybe blue-black at the core with tutors and a combo built in. Also, there are incentives to play the very successful red deck. Unbanning Birthing Pod would create incentives on the other side of the metagame spectrum. Neither blue based control or combo-control decks, nor mono red profit from Birthing Pod. An unban would strengthen green-based midrange decks for which there currently exists rather little payoff.

We acknowledge the fact of Birthing Pod having utterly dominated the metagame during its heyday. But we do believe the current configuration of dominating decks could handle the threat of Birthing Pod better and its unban could lead to a more vibrant back and forth in the ever-changing arena which is the Highlander metagame. Also as a sidenote, there have been cards added to the highlander cardpool, which are very maindeckable and function as solutions for Birthing Pod (among others Kolaghan's Command and Abrade come to mind, as does the newly printed Knight of Autumn), thus increasing the overall outs to the strong artifact.

Umezawa's Jitte

Similarly to the argument for Birthing Pod, we want to watchlist Umezawa's Jitte because an unban would create incentives for players to place their bets on more creature-heavy decks. Umezawa's Jitte would also provide a counterbalance to mono red aggro.

Skullclamp

Skullclamp again slightly shifts the gravitational center of the metagame in the direction of creature decks. Skullclamp would be a great boon for the mono red deck, which – in a theoretical world of Birthing Pod and Umezawa's Jitte being legal – would otherwise get the short end of the deal.
Skullclamp would also strengthen midrange strategies with a sacrifice theme. Pattern-Rector variants come to mind as do decks revolving around cards like Bloodghast, Entomb, Unearth, Stoneforge Mystic, Phyrexian Tower, Lingering Souls, Recurring Nightmare and so on. There certainly seems to be a viable deck which currently lacks just a little bit of synergistic power – power which Skullclamp could provide.

[Cards on the following list will be closely observed and are potential candidates for a banning on October 15th, 2018.]

Hi guys,

We would like to have a discussion started about the upcoming Banlist changes. As you know the council discussed and votes for bannings, unbannings and watch list changes. So here is your chance to help us evaluate the meta game and discuss if there needs to be something changed or if maybe a banned card is just to weak for the metagame and is therefore a safe unban.

Just to have an overview here are the cards which could enter or leave the format at 1. April:

Ban watchlist:

Back to Basics
Blood Moon
Demonic Tutor
Dig Through Time
Entomb
Imperial Seal
Mana Drain
Oath of Druids
Tainted Pact
Tolarian Academy
Treasure Cruise
Yawgmoth's Will


unban Watchlist

Gifts Ungiven
Mystical Tutor



The whole banlist can be looked at here http://highlandermagic.info/index.php?id=bannedlist


I would love to get some feedback here

Single cards explanations:

Ban:

Mystical Tutor:
There were more reasons for banning of this card. Huge dominance of blue decks in the format - this is a growing topic that needed to be addressed and this might be the first step of it. With many calling for ban of more blue cards (Dig Through Time and Mana Drain being the other main calls), Mystical tutor makes most sense currently - with the unbanning of Entomb and Imperial Seal. While being less powerful in abstract than Demonic Tutor, the fact that it is blue, instant and appears in what is widely viewed as a current best deck (Izzet), makes it currently the right choice for ban. The usage as a "Miracle tutor" is just another point of this card why it got the vote.

Unban:

Imperial Seal:
This card has been on the banned list since 07/15/2006 partly for its price, but since there was lately another printing of it in the form of Judge rewards card, this reason lost its relevance a bit. On the other hand it's powerlevel is also something, that the council evaluated during its' unbanning - in other singleton formats, where this card is allowed, it doesn't show in big numbers. Mostly it appears in pure combo decks and even there, it is not stronger than tutors we already have in our format. The cost of 2 life might be pricey in our current meta with monoRed around, sorcery speed is also a downside to similar tutors like (Enlightened, Worldly and Mystical). Therefore we think it is the right time to try it and give it a chance.

Entomb:
As one of the strongest reanimator spells of all time (banned since 04/15/2010), this card for sure brings some questions to the format, that need to be answered. The most obvious one is - will it bring the Reanimator deck to tier1 level? Due to current blue decks dominancy as the usual predator to combo decks we think it will not happen, but we will closely monitor whether it doesn't harm the format too much and in case it does a banhammer might be used once again here.

Unban-Watchlist:

Grindstone
Since the unbannning of this card (04/15/2017), it is mostly invisible in our format and while we know it has some potential in a combo artifact deck, the deck didn't show up more neither changed the meta at all. For the first time since 2008 players had an option to play Painter's Servant combo again, but it looks like it is not a boogeyman anymore. Also, due to Stoneforge Mystic, artifact hate cards are now a bit more common in the format. So we are pretty confident that unbanning was correct and therefore we are removing it also from the watchlist.


Edit by pyyhttu Sun Oct  1 11:46:04 UTC 2017: Announcement was missing watchlistings of Entomb of Imperial seal. Added. Watchlist contained false entry, Fastbond. Removed. (It was already removed from watchlist on July 1st).

I am just wanna diskuss here how the best possible Boros deck would look like right now ?!

first of all in the list above she plays 7 creatures with cc4+ I am not sure if this is to much but especialy if I want to play the 3 planswalkers in this colors for aggro (2x Ajanie and Elspeth)
Would do you guys think is a good number for this cc4+ slots?


Spirit en-Dal - actualy looks pretty good and tricky but I am not sure because as a solo creature there are just some better ones avalible

Jötun Grunt - I don t know rly about him in a early aggro match do you think he is strong enought when he is on the starting hand

Mystic Crusader - he has protection but thats it .. against other colors he is maybe just to weak for 3 mana

Glorious Anthem - I never rly know whats better this card or a good eqipment ... maybe empirial plate was pretty awsome in some tests

Flames of the Blood Hand - I am not sure about this burn card actualy in my opinion Sulfuric Vortex does the job far better

molten Rain - is a pretty cool card but with all this global LD is it needed? mabe add cataclysm instead?

What do you think about the mana base? In my boros I want to play Countryside Crusher and I am not sure if he can hit the table turn 3 when i need to cast so much WW creatures 2nd turn and how stable I get the WW coast when i lay down blood moon or the magus


thx at all

Hi,

The main reason to build up this deck was that I wanted to find a aggro deck thats Fun and competive for the GPs ...
I would like to have a aggro deck thats not pure damage and can handel some threads so kind of like aggro-control but more liek faster ...
I figured out thats the best thing to do get some card advantage and finde so my solutions ... so I did try to build something like Hajo from the last GP just with the adition of blue 4 some card advnatage
So in my testings with diferent deck it was like playing stuff liek doran is pretty cool ... If you have any ideas to improve my ideas then just tell me ...
