Faithless Brewing, Episode 11: Crashing Footfalls Are you ready for a RHINO RUMBLE?!? Crashing Footfalls joins the lineage of "can't be cast" suspend cards that are historically powerful and ripe for abuse. The combination with Ancestral Visions gives a critical mass of generically powerful suspend cards, in contrast to all-in build-arounds like Living End, Restore Balance, or Wheel of Fate. But what is the best route for casting the Rhinos, and from which zone? Are we willing to wait for them, or do we need to make our Rhinos right now? Roundup: Brewing After Hogaak They actually did it. Bridge from Below got the axe after just four weeks on Magic Online. The crew discusses the post-ban metagame: what's still strong, what may rise again, and what a brewer should be prepared to face. Also: decks we plan to test in preparation for GP Minneapolis. Flashback: Lotus Field We put Lotus Field through its paces in four different builds, discovering quite a bit of clunk (drawing the 2nd copy is awful, Blood Moon and Damping Sphere are embarrassing) but also unlocking several powerful synergies. Blood Sun and the Brought Back + Flagstones + Ghost Quarter package were very solid and worthy of further exploration. Blood Sun Eldrazi: 2-3 league, curve was disastrous, but Blood Sun is strong RG Assault Loam: 2-3 league, needs speed and more versatile control elements GW Brought Back: 3-2 league, Brought Back is strong, but needs better early plays Twiddle Storm: 5-5 leagues, excellent in game 1, vulnerable after sideboarding Brew Session: Crashing Footfalls We take a slightly different approach this week, as several lists with Crashing Footfalls have already seen success. However, each of them tackles the "can't be cast" problem differently, opting to cheat the card into play either from hand, from graveyard, or from the top of the library. If you want to get really crazy, you can even suspend it the "normal" way and wait. Which routes are the most effective, and are there additional enablers that have not been fully explored? Restore Dominance (Jakesbaked, 5-0 league x2)Rhino enablers: 7 hand (As Foretold, Electrodominance), 2 graveyard (Finale of Promise). Green mana: yes. UR As Foretold (KyFly1, 11-4 GP Dallas, 5-0 league, 6-2 Modern Challenge)Rhino enablers: 8 hand (As Foretold, Electrodominance), 3 graveyard (Dreadhorde Arcanist). Green mana: no. Black-Red Free (Dzy, 5-0 league)Rhino enablers: 5 graveyard (Dreadhorde Arcanist, Finale of Promise), 4 hand (Electrodominance). Green mana: yes. Living End "Fakeout" (MagicAids youtube + keatingn, 5-0 league)Rhino enablers: 12 library (Violent Outburst, Demonic Dread, Bloodbraid Elf). Green mana: no. Rhino Conjuring (Sketch)Rhino enablers: 4 library (Collected Conjuring), 4 hand (As Foretold), 4 graveyard (Dreadhorde Arcanist, Finale of Promise). Green mana: TBD. Contact Us Got feedback for us? Have suggestions for one of our builds, or testing results with a deck we've discussed?

Faithless Brewing, Episode 10: Lotus Field What's better than a Black Lotus? How about a free Black Lotus every turn? Magic 2020's "fixed" version of Lotus Vale comes with a host of interesting clauses: hexproof, sacrifice two lands, enters the battlefield tapped. The crew sets out to use every part of the buffalo, either dodging the drawbacks or turning them into advantages. There might even be some 9/9 hexproof attackers in our future. But which builds are competitive, and which are just a field of memes? Roundup: The New Tier One The results from GP Dallas and SCG Pittsburgh are in. Hogaak established itself as tier zero, but it didn't sweep the events. Instead, a new tier one emerged, starring Izzet Phoenix and UW Control. But don't blink, because the London Mulligan is already here to shake up the format, and a B&R announcement is right around the corner. Plus: a tournament report with BG Rock. Good old rock, nothing beats rock. Grim Flayer Rock: 2-3 SCG IQ, some things do in fact beat Rock Flashback: Force of Virtue While Tom Ross was cruising to a top 8 finish with Hogaak Bridgevine, we were working hard trying to squeeze playable decks out of his pet design Force of Virtue. The card proved surprisingly good, and the combo with Squadron Hawk should not be underestimated. The most competitive shell also proved to be the most delightful: Goat Devotion, harnessing the power of Nykthos, Ranger-Captain of Eos, and Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite. Mardu PyroHawk : 4-6 leagues, felt much better than its record, Seasoned Pyromancer is the truth Goat Devotion: 8-7 leagues, surprisingly good, but weak to decks that don't care about combat Turbo Elesh Norn: 4-1 league, Elesh Norn is very well positioned Esper Skies: 3-2 league, needs more disruption, less Pride of the Clouds Brew Session: Lotus Field Naya Value Town (Sketch) Blood Sun Eldrazi (Sketch) One-Punch Land (Sketch) Twiddle Storm (Sketch) Contact Us Twitter: @FaithlessMTG Email: faithless.brewing@gmail.com Homepage: faithlessbrewing.podbean.com
