No lands or artifacts? Ouch. No build yet, but I have to say, this one would take me right to the time limit. my first instinct is to be greedy.

Quick look, I'm thinking a B/U/w build to splash the 2x necksnaps and the summon. Hard to see Garruk sitting the bench but I only like one of those other green cards, imperious perfect, and that double green cost with no fixing scares me away.

The one really tough cut was removing Peppersmoke to fit in Streambed Aquitects. Gets you to the 3rd U for Guile. This build really attempts to abuse Guile as much as possible, given the redundancy of 2. Your mileage may vary. I don't know what Summon really does for you in any reasonable build here. Great card, but I think it stays on the bench.

I like recursion in sealed and I would go heavier black to use footbottom feast and makeshift mannequin with the mulldrifter and the shriekmaw. You're prolly right about the summon CBG, but then I would can the Streambed and replace it with the peppersmoke (mucho synergy with the 2x witches and you should be drawing a card most of the time) and just run faeries.

I don't have a good sense of how solid Makeshift Mannequin is. Has anybody played with it? I get the fear. I know Skulking knight was pretty good, and abusing CIP of evoke creatures does seem solid.

Seems like Elemental decks could kill pretty easily, along with Kithkin decks and some of the changelings. I am not sure how many targeted effects are really being played.

I have not played with Makeshift but it seems good enough... I pretty much agree that the pool has to be built U/B/w... I was just really hoping someone could find an alternate build with Garruk in it. Even than going U/B/w seem to be scrapping the bottom of the barrel for playables.

The Captain said...

makeshift has been very solid every time i've played it, and i've played it probably four times now.

I also like UBw. The card i see in the list here that i really dislike is ringskipper. I loathe that card...i've tried playing it a couple of times, and both times i've regretted it.

TooSarcastic said...

Ringskipper is not very good. I agree with Scoops. Cut the Douser the Ringskipper. Add recursion. Still might have mana issues. Is every pool we open going to end up UBW?

Matt said...

I agree. Ringskipper sucks. That said, Ringskipper doesn't exist in a vacuum. She's a 2 drop in a pool sorely lacking. She's a Faerie for the Spellstutter. She's a target for Familiar's Ruse.

The question is synergy vs. power, like always.

Still, if I was gonna cut her, I'd do it for Mannequin, rather than FF. I don't think I wanna do anything with FF other than cycle it or Recollect Shriekmaw/Mulldrifter. That just seems below the curve.
