Eggs, Post-Ban

Deck Help forum

With the banning of Second Sunrise , I don't know if Eggs is still playable. I may be in desperate need of help: panic has set in.

Eggs Benedict

eggs was a combo that, while extensive, was very consistent. While eggs did exist pre-Faith's Reward , it was not nearly as good, nor was it as pro-tour winning. Unlike jund which only got weaker without Bloodbraid Elf , i'm afraid eggs is without enough consistency to wn games nowadays.

Yeah, I don't think there's much hope, man.

Survive an extra turn and go off with Faith's Reward thats the only thing that remains

add four Reclaim ish cards in Second Sunrise 's place. i'm an avid eggs player and it appears to be one of the only options

I may just end up porting it into Legacy, which may or may not be doable. Would taking the deck into Legacy actually change anything?

the legacy variant plays Tendrils of Agony , but other than that I think it would transfer over well. the older legacy version was much slower than the current modern one. idk how you'd fare against decks like counter-top or ones that run Chalice of the Void though. I'm playing mine in legacy though so i guess we'll see how it goes

Would you run anything else to support Tendrils of Agony ? I'm not super familiar with the Legacy meta.

its an older decklist, you could probably google it to find it. i think the lists are very similar
