If you're someone looking for fast wins to grind rewards, you'll probably want to look elsewhere. The worst part of UW Artifacts is that it's an incredibly slow deck.More importantly, all of our payoffs work well together, with the Thopters from Sai, Master Thopterist growing our Karn, Scion of Urza Constructs and the Constructs from Karn helping make sure we have the three artifacts needed to draw two a turn with Tezzeret, Artifice Master. Tezzeret, Artifice Master almost always draws us two cards a turn with its zero, and Sai, Master Thopterist is a great way to make a bunch of flying chump blockers that can eventually go on the offense once we stabilize the board. Karn, Scion of Urza is an extremely powerful card, even more so in a deck overflowing with artifacts. The best part of UW Artifacts is that our payoffs are great.We had some wins where we literally played through our entire deck before finally killing our opponent, and in some of our losses, we were about a turn away from stabilizing before our opponent top-decked the win. As for our record, we finished 3-2, but I have no idea how reliable our results really are because pretty much every match we played-win or lose-was incredibly close.Goldfish Gladiators: UW Artifacts (Standard) Just a quick reminder: if you enjoy the Goldfish Gladiator series and the other video content on MTGGoldfish, make sure to subscribe to the MTGGoldfish YouTube channel to keep up on all the latest and greatest. Is it time for artifacts to rise again in Guilds of Ravnica Standard? Let's get to the video and find out then, we'll talk more about the deck! The deck is basically an artifact-based control deck looking to slow things down in the early game before eventually taking over with powerful artifact-centric planeswalkers and other artifact payoffs. As such, today, we're going to see if artifacts still have what it takes to be competitive in Standard with a deck I've been working on for a while: UW Artifacts. Welcome to episode fifty-eight of Against the Odds! Last week, we didn't have an Against the Odds poll, and for good reason: today, we have a special episode! In the past, every set brought with it Intro Packs-preconstructed decks for new players.Welcome to Goldfish Gladiators! Back before Kaladesh rotated from Standard, artifacts were some of the most powerful cards in Standard, but they've mostly fallen by the wayside since then, even though some powerful artifact payoffs like Karn, Scion of Urza, Tezzeret, Artifice Master, and Sai, Master Thopterist remain in the format. Well, with Kaladesh, the intro product switched to Planeswalker Decks, featuring brand-new legal-in-Standard cards, including two new planeswalkers! Richard and I battled the Kaladesh Planeswalker Decks against each other, and it seemed clear that the Chandra, Pyrogenius decks was the more powerful of the two. ![]() So, we're going to give the Chandra, Pyrogenius Planeswalker Deck the Against the Odds treatment and see if the straight-out-of-the-box deck has what it takes to compete in Standard, for the sake of science! If you miss the Against the Odds poll, don't worry-you'll find a new one at the end of the article, and rather than being all Kaladesh like the past few weeks, we'll get back to normal with a mixture of formats and cards!Īnyway, let's get to the videos, but first a quick reminder. Against the Odds: Planeswalker Deck in Standard (for Science) Deck Tech If you enjoy the Against the Odds series and the other video content here on MTGGoldfish, make sure to subscribe to the MTGGoldfish YouTube Channel. Usually, this is where we talk about the brew and some of the choices in the deck, but that feels weird this week, since we are playing a preconstructed deck straight out of the box. As such, instead of talking about individual card choices, we'll just have some general thoughts and impressions about the Chandra, Pyrogenius deck and some of the challenges that come with playing a Planeswalker Deck in Standard.įirst off, Chandra, Pyrogenius herself isn't very good, especially considering that the deck is built to be aggressive, similar to the RW Vehicles deck that's popular in Standard. While it can theoretically kill a creature (or even the opponent), costing six mana is a ton for a deck that really wants to be curving out with aggressive creatures. Liberating Combustion, on the other hand, gives us a way to find our Chandra, Pyrogenius when we want it (which is rare) but, more importantly, kills just about anything in the format. Sure, it costs five mana and is sorcery speed, but it at least gives our deck an out to creatures like Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet. ![]()
