How is this feeling with the current state of the meta? What plays are you looking for on turns 1 and 2?
Right now the deck is feeling pretty good. With the number of people on Blue Farm right now and other decks focused around underworld breach and storming off the stax effects I am playing feel incredibly potent.
Right now turn one and two it depends on seat order but I really want to land a dork if at all possible turn one or two and then a stax effect most games. Being able to slow the pod down quickly is critical as sitting down at the pod I already know that I am the slowest deck at the table so trying to make everyone play my game and put players off balance is important to do early.
Evil deck, scary deck, hard to interact with
But what if I count to 7?
“So long as I don’t loose to Tayam” lol
Nope that takes two hands of fingers and I need one hand to point at the other hand as I am counting.
I should really put Tayam back together again, absolutely love the deck. It’s had a lot of spicy additions since I last played it.
I highly recommend it right now. It has been a blast and feeling good lately.
No stop it card is bad why play it lol.
47 creatures is crazy work, nice. how does the table’s perception of you/tayam/stax affect your ability to ‘make friends’ during the game?
Most players do not fully understand how Tayam works so I change from way over threat assessed to way under depending on the pod. With that said in to a high skill pod the stax pieces rarely are removed unless someone is pushing as the entire table understands that the stax pieces are hurting everyone in the game and if they are removed the game is likely over so making friends can be easier than most people would expect but does take a lot of practice and willingness to make deals on my part.
Please stop Josh! I just wanna play irresponsible turbo decks.
Keep playing them and making my deck feel better and better
I wanted to give an update on how the deck performed at Fishbowl 6. I went 2-2-3 and finished the weekend in 42nd place. I made some misplays but over all the deck performed well in a relatively fast meta against good players all weekend and never truly felt outclassed.
Played the deck this past weekend and my record for the weekend in total was 4-1-5 across two tournaments. At locals I got 2nd after a draw in top four(2-0-2). At Card Conquest I placed 9th after running in to Logan and Jason in my top 16 game (Run back of fishbowl round 7) (2-1-3). Overall the deck is feeling very good right now so long as I mulligan properly and am able to politic well.
Dude stop it gonna give me nightmares lol
