It's gonna be experimented in Odd Rogue but not so sure it's so OP. Odd rogue is a tempo deck with a lot of burst and Golem is dangerous to be played on curve obviously, and you don't want many cards to hold in hand waiting for burst time. Leeroy may be enough for that I think.
Oh my... I pointed some differences but forgot to notice the Hemet. From Mark's video, he seems to empty his deck very easily by turn 9 without Hemet, so I wonder his real utility... You're right, gotta test bost versions (or a blend of the two) and feel what works better. Do you think this might be a real contender in the meta, if there are not Dirty Rats or Illucias around? If this can win consistently against aggro, I think the answer is yes.
What Vol'jin Mecha'Thun list looks better in your opinion? PainlessSteel's version looks more cycle heavy with the acolytes and loot hoarders while Marck's use some different draw/scry engines. I'm tending to try Steel's version first since it looks cleaner.
Yay! So much fun. Love exodia decks once in a while. What average winrate do you get with it? Specially against the more common meta decks. I only see a weakness against a well-timed Illucia or Dirty Rat but they are so rare... Gonna try it, thanks man!
Important reminder: gotta have at least one Target Dummy in hand before Hemet-ing!
Love it! Always loved Exodia Paladin and these new variants play very differently from old versions with spare parts or randomly generated 1-mana spells (such as bananas, as in my version - can share it if you allow).
Would you mind sharing some details on how the combo works? I presume using the coins or zero-mana librams is the way to go.
Agreed. MTGA's Historic is so much more expensive than HS's Wild because of various reasons. In HS I play Wild only, but in MTGA... It's Standard once in a while but not being able to keep up.
Totally agre on that... I'm a big fan of HS's Wild mode, playing it (and only it) since Beta. On the other hand, I can't even consider investing in MTGA's Historic because of obvious reasons. So I play some Standard there but not very excited lately... I wish Historic was much more accessible.
Yes, that's definitely true. But the deck worked perfectly without the cat, it has so much sinergy. It was annoying doing (or watching from the other end) the cat-oven trick over and over but it was not unbeatable. Scorpions play a similar role. I think sacrifice deck will still be around..
They didn’t mention WC compensation for those cards. Instead they emphasized how it was just antecipating rotation for them. I think we’re not getting free WCs this time
Kangor is pretty good here (and many control paladins), sinergizing with a lot of heals, which can save you against aggro. That makes him a nice craft for Wild-only players, but a good replacement would be Mistress of Mixtures. Heals, trades and can be recruited by Call to Arms.
Damn, what you say regarding Harold McNeill looks really legit. His site is FREAKY, contains a gallery depicting several pieces of clearly Nazi art, with swastikas, eagles and all other common imagery associated with it. Besides some spooky lovecraftian/demonic/erotic stuff. So sad that such things still linger...
It’s pretty hard to predict how the meta will adapt to this. Agent of Treachery was really too high level power and consistent for standard. Fires was manageable and just a powerful card, spanning multiple archetypes. Jeskai Lukka needed the nerf. Always good to see a meta shake-up anyway. I just feel sorry for paper players, that spend real cash on these cards... gotta feel very bad!
Companions mechanic getting nearly useless was also necessary. Some of them may return as mere (powerful) creatures like Obosh and Lurrus

Yeah, so nostalgic! Hunter was my first 500-wins hero back in the glory days!
Off-topic: someone remembers Shockadin??

I count myself among the former, since Exodia Pala and older Mecha'Thun locks are some of my alltime fav decks.

Rakdos Sac isn ‘t going anywhere. Just play Serrated Scorpions instead of the cats. Very similar function and blocks better than cat (without Oven

Let's enjoy Odd DH while it lasts!

Exodia Paladin. Great against control that are slower than you. Decent against aggro. Just very fun.
