Will Xu - Reverbe 🔜 DLC Indy

@NYImpact414 Yeah and really good C/UC for limited too. It’s cooking

@Reverbe_ Steel this set really feels like the limited focus. Lot's of very powerful cards, particularly in the 4-6 cost slot.

Wilds Unknown Prerelease Day! Let’s get those packs ripping and sealed decks firing. Today’s Sealed TL is Steel featuring a cat, a rat, and some iconic duos in Dingwalls and Cartes Gardes. Gonna go rip some crates of my own right now with the Poison. Good luck everyone!

One more day until Wilds Unknown and that means sealed! I wanna see those X-0 decks folks put together but today is a special day because Sapphire finally has a new draw engine baby! Bruno is here to find your dudes and he’s a really good payoff or any Madrigals you find later.

@BradenMTG It comes down for me to whether or not someone has actually changed from a mindset perspective. If he owned up to it and said what I did was messed up at any point, I’d be more inclined to say let bygones be bygones. As it stands I’m pretty convinced he’ll do it again.

This question doesn't really come from a place of empathy but just curiousity. At what point is it unreasonable to make fun clement, driving attention to the judge call, etc. Like is a year long enough? Years? Is this bullying? Has he earned this attention? What are your thoughts

@TheMadDrafter I think that’s a fair evaluation on Dragon Fire. I think the difference is that the precondition is tough. Dragon Fire you can keep in hand until there’s something truly important to kill unconditionally where Swarm you feel like you have to take what you can get at the time.

@Reverbe_ Even playing it on 5 or 6 I’d be happy to play dragon fire - even if I’m inefficient on ink the ability to outright banish any character is huge. I’ve always ranked dragon fire in the B+/A- territory and it hasn’t let me down since.

It’s day 4 of Wilds Unknown Sealed Tier Lists and if you know me you know I love Ruby. Give me all of the big bodies especially in Sealed. Ruby features the biggest Evasive, best Rush character and one of the more persistent card draw engines in the format.

@TheMadDrafter So I had Swarm higher but the reality ends up being that it’s sort of an off tempo play on turn 5-6 that has a precondition that you generally satisfy by your stuff trading. You’re probably right that it could be higher on the list but it’s not true removal.

@Reverbe_ Breaking my heart with the swarm but otherwise I think this is our closest aligned tier list 🫡🙌🏻❤️ Seeing 6 drop Rourke down at the bottom makes me happy lol

This series is honestly pretty sick if you’re a sicko for sealed like me. Super in depth and really enjoyed listening to it on my drives in and back this week.

It’s time for Wilds Unknown Tier Lists Day 3: Emerald. Emerald’s elites consists of a mix of good curve bodies as well as some phenomenal ways to play on different axis with Evasive, discard and Ward. Can’t wait to jam some Milo and Queen.

@NYImpact414 Gadget is real bro… @LorcanaCMan gonna prove it.

Sapphire tierlist for Wilds Unknown! Merriweather stands out as a staple in any Sapphire deck. We've never seen self-healing at the top of the meta; perhaps Madrigals change that? Robin Hood and What Else Can I Do expand Sapphire strategies. A solid set for Sapphire!

@NYImpact414 1000%. It might be the have and have nots with folks pulling her and those who don’t. So few spots where she doesn’t just straight up 2 for 1 with initiative.

@Reverbe_ Mrs. Incredible is absolutely gonna be goated in Limited lol

Wilds Unknown Sealed Tier List Day 2: Amethyst featuring Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs! It is one of the best colors in terms of card quality in sealed. Hope you see lots of these Limited Elites in your Prerelease Kits! Luisa is one of the best engines if you can stick her!

@teaganXross Maybe… in limited the base conditions for it being good is having a reasonably developed board preferably with a singer that is difficult to retaliate on as well as a character that isn’t ideal to crack back into for a 2 for 1. Maybe it belongs at the back end of the tier above.

@Reverbe_ I think you’re sleeping on growing pressure. It helps break frozen boards and it replaces itself. It’s been an all star in sealed for me. But agree with all the cards you have in elite.

As we’re counting down to 5/8 aka Prerelease Date for Wilds Unknown, I’ll be posting a tier list for each ink color every single day as I rank those cards in Sealed to help you prepare to win as many packs as you can in your sealed events. Woody and Amber friends up first!

@NYImpact414 Safety Rope isn’t bad. The problem is that uninkables have to clear an extremely high bar in limited as curving out is usually so important T2-T6. At the back end of playable is fair potentially but I generally want my uninkables to provide value the turn I play it and it’s slow

@Reverbe_ It's tragic how most 1 and 2 drops have just completely fallen off in limited formats. That said, I agree with all of this. Except I think Safety Rope might be higher. Getting back your best character in limited can be huge, even if it's a bit slow.

@NYImpact414 I think Will of the Wisp will prove to be S tier. The fact that it demands a specific type of answer to permanently remove at a 1 cost inkable is crazy not to mention it’s reasonably durable

Amethyst tierlist for Wilds Unknown!Surprisingly, Amethyst has some strong cards. I have a really good time doing these, and I love the conversations they spark.

@NYImpact414 Is this core or infinity?

Amber tierlist for Wilds Unknown! Good top end, but very mediocre overall. Two strong legendaries really prop up the direction for Amber this set.

Winterspell Set Champs season has been my best by far. In 6 Set Champs I’ve played this season, I got to finals 4 times. Going to carry the good vibes to Indy! Immaculate: 2-2 T8 Gamers Heaven: 2-1 T4 Six Feet Under: 5-0-1 🏆 AU Wilm: 5-0-1 🏆 EG: 5-1-1 T2 Split JPP: 6-1-1 🏆

@Rooster5man @MagicFabulus If you want to call the same combination of keywords the same effect, I think you got a lot more bones to pick than Maui but I don’t think a card that comes down a turn later just to take care of a nominal amount more problems is power creep at all.

@MagicFabulus I'm not just talking about Maui though, this applies to any card in the game. They'll take the same effects and give it to a lesser rarity.

Is this not power creep? I feel like Lorcana will eventually make Aurora Dreaming Guardian a common at this rate

@r_m_bx The fact that MMS works with Merida under the current definition of “deals damage” is just insanity lol. Instant GS aggro answer and you don’t even need to commit a ton of deck slots to it.

OMG WE ARE SOOOOOO BIKE!
