![]() It's also an early game chump blocker against whatever aggro deck pops up and you need to keep your precious life points. In Modern when you play blue, you turn one Serum Visions with this deck, a turn one with this card and you have an artifact on the field that enables you to start reeking value later in the game. We have a few Investigate enabler's in our deck, we have a plenty really. in Shadow's Over Innistrad, we have a new artifact:Ĭlues! Clue's are neat little artifacts that we make when we play a card that let's us Investigate. what's changed? Why are we going to reliably have artifacts on the field again in order to make Thopter Spy Network work? Just because Faeries isn't a Tier 1 deck in modern, doesn't mean that Bitterblossom isn't a great card.īut, Craig. Thopter Spy Network is a more expensive Bitterblossom, but it has the upside of drawing you cards, and you don't lose life. The time has finally come back when we're going to have a plethora of artifacts on the field again and we're going to be drawing cards and sending in Thopters to ping our opponent to death. ![]() They've been sitting in my binder ever since, and I've been itching to play them again. After 0-3-ing a SCG Regional tournament playing Bant Heroic and losing all three rounds to U/W Thopter Control I ran out and bought the card. This card saw popularity in U/W Thopter Control by Jeff Hoogland and then there was Jim Davis's U/B Thopter Control when Standard was in the same weird spot after Magic Origins, like it is now. We're looking to bring back an old favourite card of mine Thopter Spy Network. With an archetype that I'm the most comfortable playing, and that I seek to play regularly: Control. We've been leaning on the aggressive slant lately with Standard, U/R Prowess, then tokens. So, we're going to do the same thing, which sadly means we can't test our special little brew, because while Xmage may have some of the Shadows Over Innistrad cards on it already, they don't have them all. Right now, Standard is in that weird spot where people are looking ahead at brews with the new set and trying to figure out what's good while at the same time unloading their 'rotatoes'. Hoogland stacked his early game with quick drops like Footlight Fiend, Grim Initiate, and Knight of Ebon Legion.When it comes to Standard we're doing things a little different this week. ![]() The star card of the day was Priest of Forgotten Gods, fueling the sacrificial damage aimed at opponents and everything on their side of the battlefield. But all of that would change once in the top eight, where Jeff Hoogland and his RB Aristocrats deck would continually dominate. Screengrab via Twitch Rivals TV and WotCĪndrea Mengucci rocked his Jeskai Control while Seth Manfield also cruised through the Swiss match play with Boros Feather, each player having an undefeated streak. ![]() The first five rounds of the Twitch Rivals MTG Arena Standard 2020 tournament featured Simic Ramp (the most popular deck in the meta today) Jeskai Control, Feather, RB Aggro, Simic Flash, and RB Aristocrats, along with a few other various archetypes. The best Magic: The Gathering streamers from around the globe competed today for a share of the $25,000 Twitch Rivals MTGA Standard 2020 event with Priest of Forgotten Gods ruling the day.
