Most powerful competitive deck ideas for Kaladesh??
Standard Deck Help forum
Posted on Sept. 11, 2016, 8:40 p.m. by _FxZIONZ_
I am wanting to find out what people are thinking of making for kaladesh that they think will be really powerful. I am looking into making a GRUUL or NAYA energy deck and making the deck have the ramp style where you get so much energy for stuff then you spend the energy to buff your dudes.
A similar play style to using Tireless Tracker and sac'ing lots of clues to swoll him up.
I am still deciding though, I dont think there isnt going to be much that is powerful that isnt already in standard currently that wont rotate out.
What do you guys think??
I'm playing a kinda energy evolution deck. so it allows me to search for my Verdurous Gearhulk while sac'ing a Matter Reshaper to possible get yet another creature like Lathnu Hellion

I think a black white control or esper control list is looking pretty dope with the gearhulks.

Mortem Thats why im going Midrange Naya Energy. Mainly because i want to be able to last and destroy with bigger creatures.
mavoricke Yea thats a pretty cool idea, implements the Gruul aggro ness of the new energy cards.
demonicgrizzly Yea some of the cards look amazing especially for esper control

Why Naya? I think that black is better than red for midrange/slow energy-type cards.

Step 1: Put in good green cards Step 2: put in good black cards Step 3: decide if you want a delirium theme Step 4: you win.

EmblemMan,
Step 4b. Unless you're playing against a Fevered Visions deck, in which case you're likely to get slaughtered. :-)

Mardu or W/B Control with the Catacylsmic Gearhulk and Kalitas is going to be a thing! B/W was top tier in EMN and didn't lose much! Yes the loss of Uktimate Price and Languish were tough but Murder and The Gearhulk as well as Planar Outburst/Descend Upon the Sinful should fill in nicely!

I've already brewed up a Mardu Walker Control build that seems really good. I'm still fine-tuning it, but I'll probably take a version of this to Game Day.

I think mardu control is asking for to much. a B/R control deck though will be so strong alone. burn and removal to hold out until midgame and anyone running liliana and Chandra is going to be so tough to beat. The trick is going to be building a deck to beat those two planeswalkers and you will have a winning deck

B/R has almost no Artifact or enchantment removal so it's effectively trash especially with Kaladesh coming out.

MagicMike77 I think it is safe to assume that there will not be really any good artifacts that will see competitive play that are not artifact creatures so saying that is just wrong.

idk I know one f guy who has made a pretty good aether flux deck but for the most part I agree. what I think will happen is if you play rb yout will play the fast Lands and splash just enough for Fragmentize

I really like the card Syndicate Trafficker as well as Master of Marionnetes, and so I started a deck with these cards as well as Tireless Tracker. I made this rather quickly, but how does it look so far? Do you think something like this could turn out to be a viable standard deck? I know the name is uncreative but if I'm keeping this deck I might change it later.

I think Eldrazi Displacer decks are going to do really well, I'm think BW Displacer and Gonti, Lord of Luxury along with Panharmonica

Only problem with Displcer decks is consistancy in Colorless Mana. You almost have to treat it as a whole 2nd or 3rd color now.

And as anybody who has played 3 Westvale Abbey know, drawing all Colorless lands is quite a bitch.

I made a deck play tested it almost 30 times and I haven't had a issues with getting colorless mana, I use 4 Aether Hub, and 2 westvale Abbey, and 2 warped landscape. That's 8 Colorless mana, and adding in 3 Hedron Crawler, that gives me 11 colorless mana, with only the 2 westvale abbey's being only useful for ED. but even westvale has a secondary job. the Aether hubs can be used for any color at least once and the warped landscapes are a decent fetch land that can be used with ED.

I'm working on a WB build that focuses on consistent removal and life gain, then a wincon through Cataclysmic Gearhulk, Aetherflux Reservoir, Felidar Sovereign, or an awaken card like Ruinous Path or Planar Outburst.

I think a lot of people with the R/G energy aggro idea are getting too caught up in some of the sweeter energy synergies involving Territorial Gorger and Bristling Hydra. Neither of those 4 drops are worth including in an aggro deck; they aren't worth the 4 mana to cast them.
For an aggro deck, you'll want Falkenrath Gorger and Kessig Prowler Flip; Incendiary Flow and Sylvan Advocate. General, decent cards that aren't flashy but get the job done quickly and efficiently.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't play Voltaic Brawler, Lathnu Hellion, or Harnessed Lightning. But avoid getting caught up in the "energy" theme and instead let the energy cards pay for themselves, while you play a normal, RDW style deck.
I know that's probably not what you're asking, but those are my thoughts on the matter.
