The eventual meta
General forum
Posted on Sept. 17, 2010, 1:09 p.m. by Xander574
hey guys I noticed there really isnt an area based around what you think will be the next or current standard meta decks. As we have it now, the big beasty seems to be UW control. Also the previous meta decks who haven't lost allot and may be gaining allot are, Dredge-uh-vine, Titan ramp, titan tap out, super friends, and the valukut decks in general. But we are loosing, Naya, and mythic conscription for sure. AND of course JUND.
Black control may be on the rise,
Artifact crazyness abound?
Will Koth be a new beasty?
Are the phrixian armies and there ability to INFECT our decks going to be a threat?
What about our good friends allies and levelers do they have a chance now with proliferate?
Or will they all be defeated by the slow mindless marching of the MYR MILITARY MACHINE?
what are your thoughts?

I agree with the rise of the white weenie soldier deck. Kor's are probably gonna make a big come back.
I am not sure how strong infect deck is going to be. I made a pretty solid example It would appear you have an infection and it has a hard time with fast decks like kor and rdw but that might be solved some w/ side boarding, i haven't really tested side board cards much. I anticipate this getting stronger when besiged is released.
RDW is probably gonna get a massive boost from Koth of the Hammer .
Not sure u/w is going to be as dominant... well at least not so much from the white side (awful lot of good white cards rotating out).
Dredge vine and superfriends probably will be endure. Dregevine for sure, and probably superfriends. It will be different super friends but that shouldn't be much of an issue.
I do believe artifacts are on the rise, and artifact removal is going to be an interesting decision (whether it gets maindeck'ed or side boarded) depending on how the field shapes up.

Land ramp is getting raped by Tunnel Ignus , so that is a big hit against it. It makes red seem that much more attractive though.

Meta is short for the meta game. It has to do with what are other people thinking / playig and how that will affect what you should be doing yourself. It is the people game which impacts the card game.

Just pack artifact destruction and creature kill... Done!!!!!!!!!
All the decks will be "HAI GUYZ?! HAVE YOU MET MY GIRLFRIEND ELSPETH?! KILL ELLY! KILL THEM ALL!" and "HAI GUYZ!~ HAVE YOU MET MA BOI JACE BELEREN!?!? HE MINDSCULPTS! BRAINSOTRM!!!!!" and I'll be like "HAI GUYZ! LIKE TIMMEH?!?! INFECT DRAGONS GO GO GO!"
And that's my take on meta game.

Hi guys, I recently started toying with a Coalition Victory deck idea, and wanted some input on how to make it faster and mor consistent. All help is appreciated. There are currently a lot of fillers.

MBC is already good, but nobody plays it :P there will probably be 4 or 5 different variants post-flip.
uh...
UW, yep. Ow. Also superfriends, in both UW and Esper variants.
neo-Dredge could be pretty good. Other stuff we'll have to wait and see what they get.
There will be a monored aggro equipment + stuff deck, and also a monored Koth beatdown deck which will be a little slower (1.5 turns or so).
Infect will definitely see play in some form, I don't know that it's good enough yet given the spoiled cards but it should get better.
Allies? Yes. Levelers? Don't think so, unless it's as a subtheme to go with general proliferatey goodness.
There will be...like ten billion different variations on the myr infinite combo deck, as well as several non-combo versions.
I expect to also see, at least for a while, a ton of random archetypes - monowhite soldiers, B/G and W/B/G Rock, monoblue artifact, and monoblack discard all come to mind.
