You updated quite a lot of decks there...

I've seen cavern of Souls in less coherent competitive tribal decks, so go for it as long as you have a gameplan against bloodmoon. :)

Those are old decks, not necessarily by the troll.
And I guess it's because of my repairfiles project.
The spammers must have invited a few people to look at mtgvault and ow it's probably backfiring.

Cut one of the blackcleave cliff.
Inquisition to kozilek might be outmoded by a format with the many free avatars.

I'm speaking of basic lands.
And yeah, having opening hand fetchlands is an option too.

Practically all the 2018 playtest decks I have are vulnerable to blood moon because they've been spammed.
I had a pretty solid pattern of what I searched for in a testdeck back then, so I was simple to hit.

I've always designed around bloodmoon myself, often to a degree where I ended up putting it in my decks.

No problem.

Best plan against moon is always to build the mana around it.
Moon reacts at nonbasics so have some cards that are simply basic.
Nylea will make any land into everything, and the moon can't harm those lands that were no basic to begin with.

I really liked your take on rouse infect.

The rats in the wall is actually one of the works of lovecraft that stands a good chance of becoming a film.

The only thing the producer needs to do is expand a little on the underground city after they breach the wall. Having some expedition members split up and encounter some of the grim stuff individually before the expedition leaders figure out things and they all run for their lives.

Here's a sequence: (provided you have the leyline)
If you play it against aggro, you simply await their attack, then you simply play the entire machinery and block.
You need just 3 mana for that play which is rare but does happen.

I never forgot the first time I attacked the original cephalid deck without dealing with their board first.
Damn I'm old

Didn't you know the answer all along ;)

In case of no damage shuko is the backup

Old tech but still good.
It's damn long ago since cephalid breakfast was a thing.

Turn 0 angle is new though.

Attack lands.
And the "library of leng" land if it's legal.

Only works on arena because of the shuffler algorithm.
In paper it's too rare a happening.

Bork bork bork

A 16 mana curve can support 4 cards costing 2.

I'd say that against other ramp, lure on lovestruck beast can be a nice way to take out other peoples ramp creatures.

Speaking of the future.
During the next three sets we are likely to see the last time shifted cards be reprinted.

That means decks will be built around them, and that things will change fast economically.

Tarmogoyf has been a nice example of this.

But economies will crash based on what's in the time shifted set and what was "futurized" in future sight.

I don't think tombstalker has been reprinted yet, but I may have overlooked it in m2.
Gurmag angler might have won by being cheaper, but being more available might suddenly change how people view tombstalker.

In pauper we will get the entire "familiar" cycle back, pauper might be unphased by this at first, but when modern is trying to break it, surprising innovations will suddenly make the other familiars relevant again. That means that the old versions will suddenly have value as "bling" because the top players will compete at looking cool by playing the oldest versions, so money in the pocket...

Are YOU prepared for it ;)

Study the timeshifted and future sight lists hard and there's money to be gained.
Slivers will see a revival at one point.

I think this is where the slivers and phyrexians merge, becoming the eldrazi. The eldrazi got the hybrid traits of these two groups. They got the "legs" look at old sliver legs and eldrazi legs. They got the assimilation process of the phyrexians, the queen hive mind of the slivers.

And don't forget that the slivers were breed by a phyrexian sleeper agent.
