r/TimelessMagic

I just want to grow my collection in general without dropping too much money in the game. (I like limited as well if that's the most efficient, but I'm not sure it is, I'm sure one of you guys has this stuff figured out)

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Title

Marvel Artwort, Saga of Ironmanish

First time poster, mostly a lurker, feel free to nuke this if it’s not an appropriate post for this sub!

Does anyone have any good Titan deck lists? I loved the deck when it was a menace early in Timeless, but I haven’t seen anyone play it for like two years(?) and I was sure that there would be some fun Simic or selesnya brew someones hiding somewhere! Not much of a brewer myself obviously so I’m not rly sure where to even start

Edit: realized I should probably specify [[Primeval Titan]] just to be safe and not look like a dingus

>Secrets of Strixhaven's powerful Mystical Archive has arrived in Timeless, creating the largest metagame shift we have seen since Modern Horizons 3. Thanks to Force of Will and Daze, about 20% of decks are now some variant of Blue Tempo. Though popular, this emerging deck has not been solved as it competes with the refined Show and Tell, Mardu Energy, and Reanimator strategies. We expect the popularity of this deck to settle down as it finds its place among other competitive decks.

>Hydroponics Architect is a card we will keep an eye on due to its unique interaction with Daze, but so far it seems in line with all the other unfair things you can do in the format.

Not much of a surprise, and in line with my personal take on the format. If anything, I'd like more cards introduced rather than anything removed (specifically [[Aether Vial]]).

Being able to recur an [[Orcish Bowmasters]] with a deathtouch counter and a second threat seems busted. Is 3 mana too much? Sure. But taking out an Atraxa with a single ping still feels good.

[[Call of the Death-Dweller]]

If you're on here, I just felt so bad. You had the first turn kill. I had no force or daze. Tamiyo on board. I could tell that you just "dumb-fingered" the continue button. 😭 as an empath with fat thumbs... I'm sorry

Inspired on a list I saw from a tournament not too long ago, but I added some more draw and cut some lands because I was flooding too often, as the original deck didn't have any [[Thoughtcast]]. Is there any changes you think I shoud make?

looking for opinions / suggestions on red prison for the current blue strip meta.

currently running the below list in bo3, which is multiple iterations on an old red prison meme deck from against the odds (i think maybe last autumn) which is kinda what got me to move to timeless as the only constructed ladder format i can be bothered to play on this godforsaken app.

it's far from perfect, i tweaked it post SOS and am currently at this, which has so far got me from gold to diamond 3 in like 30ish games. But there's a lot of qs still to be answered:

- is it really worth the squelcher / chalice combo when you dont have squelcher but chalice on board and can't play your own one mana spells? so far this is maybe 25% ish percent of the time.
- are the mines (plus back up sundering sorta land destruction) worth it when it just fucks up your draws and forces mulligans. so far this is maybe 25-50% of the time. i feel like mines can go to be replaced by either more mountains or fetches to combat mines on the other side and the sundering gets dropped for something else more meaningful. i have used them a handful of times to meaningful effect but 90% of time they're a tapped land drop, a bolt land drop, or fodder for mox or fury.
- are the moxes worth it (see the above). they're only really good for turn 1 chalice, turn 1 dash ragavan or turn 1 squelcher or obviously when you're getting mined but i've already dropped them down to 2. oh they're also 2 damage for bombardiers
- not convinced on the goyf / fury package but they win games, just like 4/5 mana seems ridiculously hopeful in this meta.
- would it make more sense to build this as a sort of half burn / half prison deck and use the sideboard to switch between deck types, potentially add black for bowmasters (in which case the mines etc def go)
- the fireblast are just there cos i couldn't think of anything else, make more sense if i remove the mines and make this more prison / burn
- also not convinced the moon is worth it anymore but it works every once in a while.

Otherwise, bombardiers and squelcher are very strong and i'd say have won me the majority of games. one ring is there because card draw. fire magic, rending volley, and confluence have all been solid boarding options, dropping chalices/moons on games 2/3. matchups are what you'd imagine considering the top decks but it doesn't feel like the deck suffers against any particular archetype, it just suffers from the usual random elements of the game and probably because it's not super well tuned.

anyways any useful thoughts/feedback appreciated, and hello, good game, your turn, lands am i right? to you all.
