Lasty Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Anyone know of a one card solution to early game creature rush available on Arena? They need to put crawlspace on there, or something. A lot of my decks won't work if I take out a bunch of cards to make room for blockers, and I'm sick of not really getting to use them at all.

Historic. Bontu's Last Reckoning, but I rarely make decks with black... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distortedreasoning Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 what colors you playing? you might not have an option unless you splash for a different color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distortedreasoning Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 also what archetype you playing? if you running some combo deck, you might just be too slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a variety of decks that have this issue, and none of them are white because board wipe + life gain solves that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be too slow if crawlspace was a thing. I have this infinite turn deck that has a hard time with this in particular. I see goblins or some shiz like that, I concede immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distortedreasoning Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 sounds like youre running some sort of blue combo deck. you can run single target bounce spells and hope you can survive long enough to get your combo going. red or black splash can let you run low cmc removal and even some sweepers. but if you stick with mono blue that is a problem. creatures these days are the most powerful type in the game.

Distortedreasoning Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 i mainly play mono red myself so i can tell you that combo decks need to be fast if they want to have any chance of winning the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a very diverse play environment... Everyone either has a bunch of creatures, or a deck filled with hate cards. It's not interesting when the available cards dictate that basically only two deck types are viable. I don't like black or red, try to avoid them. Too aggro. My infinite turn deck is green blue. Green has some life gain, and I use polymorph enchantments with blue. Bounce might help, if I draw it. Maybe I should splash white for boardwipe... I'm building a whole new deck at that point though.
