Best Decks Post SHM

Just wondering how you all think block shakes out with the introduction of SHM into the format. What decks lost footing, what decks gained, is there a dominant deck?

Those sorts of questions and observations.

Le sigh. He's made 37 posts which means 37 threads have been totally wasted, by this useless waste of skin and air.

Does anyone have even a half intelligent comment to make on the format ?

EDIT: omg, he made 5 posts in the time it took me to type this.

Wow, find a new hobby you useless troll.

Anyway...I am going to go ahead and say Rogues and Shamans are the most powerful decks in the block. I say rogues because i'm a bit partial as you can tell from my previous posts Smile

They got an unblockable 2 drop, a pretty nice card drawer and 2 drop in Sygg, and they make use of one of the best cards in the format: Bitterblossom. They are pretty potent imo. Regardless, tribal decks are obviously the strongest decks in the format.

The most important thing that comes to my mind, beyond tribal decks, is that I think Firespout IS the Wrath of God of this format. If you can design a control deck with this card in mind, it should do well. Unfortunately the good control colors are....the other three.

yes but the fixing is so good in block that its easy to play lots of colours

i could definitely see a R/G/W control deck able to splash for almost anything. centered mainly on firespout and austere command.

other than that, the mana fixing available combined with the amazingness of hybrid cards makes a lot of stuff possible color-wise.

and like u said...rogues and shamans are very kickass

...they should reprint the ally color signets in eventide too

EDIT: Hurly Burly pokes rogues in the anus hard

Eventide will have the enemy colours represented not the allied ones. So you can forget about signets.

I'm sure that hybrid decks will be as strong as tribal decks. Check out last trial. If a deck like that, which is almost Lorwyn Block, can win a T2 Trial, what can we say about block?

ya...all the spirit avatars (except for maybe the u/b one) are ridiculous. especially the w/g one...that thing has protection from entire decks...and then some

so anyone wanna take a crack at making this RGW control deck. I think it will be very good post shadowmoor due to like all decks being creatures. Now that we have nice mass removal we can handle these aggro decks.

RG decks packing Chameleon Colossus, Faeries, and Red Deck Wins all have a decent shot at winning post-Shadowmoor, but I think Merfolk have a legitimate shot as well. Cursecatcher makes for a decent Force Spike.
