FUN? How can it be fun without discard and land destruction?

Sounds like Gen-Z mtg

Including Moxen and no hand interaction is certainly a choice. The Battlecruiser to battle all cruisers.

  • See how the newest cards he gets to show there are... quite old. The moxes were great back in alpha, but what made them really broken was the increase in quality of what you could cast early. An environment where Serra Angel is viable is far more tolerant to moxes than, say, one where Flametongue Kavu is on the weak side. Oops, turn 1 blightsteel colossus off of tinker: You better have artifact removal!

  • I do have to kind of chuckle a bit at no land destruction but Sol/Mox is fine. I guess it's fine if you're playing with proxies so the playing field can be levelled otherwise... RIP for the less wealthy opponent.

I was about to say, it may not be fun for YOU to not be able to play any spells but making you submit by choking you out is fun for ME. Prison decks were always my jam.

My land destruction deck was fun for me.

  • Ya haha, I was going to say, land destruction is not particularly fun for anyone but the pilot. Never heard of someone getting Wastelanded or Stone Rained over and over with a smile on their face. Lands used to be such a cool deck, too. Loam plus the occasional Marit Lage was such a badass concept.
