just move it to a slower board
I have a love/hate relationship with this game. I could gripe and complain for days about 'enshitification' and slow degradation of quality, but the sad truth is every form of media is suffering from enshitification and these days.Anyways in Standard I am playing Azorious reanimator featuring "Abhorrent Oculus". I am also playing this mono-black goodstuff deck that has this cheeky combo of "Unstoppable Slasher" plus "Bloodletter of Aclazotz" for a 1-hit-ko, potentially made unblockable by the land "Escape Tunnel". (I've played the deck many times and this exact play has happened like once, but it is still kind of cool).In Explorer format I play Elves. I have 3 different current Elf decks, MonoG, Golgari, and Abzan. A recent discovery for me is the card "Banner of Kinship", which is an amazing card for making your weenie elves get swoll.>Thread question:I have no friends so I don't care about gifting.I have a question for MTGAG: Does anyone play Timeless format anymore? I was interested when the format was first introduced, but I took a break from playing right before MH3 released, so I have no idea how different the meta is now. Is Golgari Storm with "Necropotence" still a good deck in Timeless? Is the MH3 card "Necrodominance" better than Necropotence in this context? (I haven't seen Necrodominance in action ever so I have no idea if it is good).
