This is the High Tide deck I played in the Ladder Tournament.
Here we go with the next list. This time it’s the Oath of Druids list, designed by Bjoern Ortmann who lost in the finals against Jochen. Let’s go: more…
Here is the next top 8 decklist for you. It’s Fabian Moyschewitz’ Reanimator list who was first after 8 rounds of swiss. I’m not sure but I think the original deck designer is Patrick Richter, correct me if I’m wrong.
Here is the list: more…
Jochen Frenster is our new Highlander. And that’s his deck:
The deck that looked most promising to me since Survival had left the format is Staxx. I used to play a 5c-Staxx-variant running Oath of Druids alongside with Empyrial Archangel, Sundering Titan, Filigree Angel and Karn, Silver Golem, but I felt that I’d often end up in a draw in matches since that version of the Staxx deck can hardly win fast.
So, the night before the GP, I started to rebuild the deck from scratch, trying to improve a) the decks ability to win in a timely fashion and b) integrate more life gain so the matchup vs. aggro becomes better.
This was the resulting deck I piloted to 10th place on HL GP 7:
Rather a deck for a non-aggro environment, Heartbeat is a very nice combo-deck that can outdraw almost any control deck. To prevail in an aggro environment, the number of Fog effects in the deck must be increased and counterspells decreased.
The deck is totally invulnerable against Non-Basic-Hate since it only plays five non-basic lands: Misty Rainforest, Evolving Wilds, Terramorphic Expanse, Thawing Glaciers and Wasteland.
Now let’s have a look at the decklist: more…
While Sturmgott is busy at work, I want to give you a new list. This time it is an oldy which might be interesting if you suspect an aggro-meta. MBC always performed well against aggro and with adding green you have more flexibility against the typical threats for MBC.
So, no long talking, here’s the list: more…
From now on until Friday, I will try to introduce a deck a day which I consider viable to be played on HL GP 7 on Saturday.
A friend of mine decided to play UW Control on that GP, but in the last few test games the deck didn’t perform all too well. Especially the matchup vs. Stax didn’t look very promising. But how could the deck be improved? more…
