No Goblins Allowed :: Mostest Funnest Duels Decks

Caveat : Tutelage decks are worse than cancer. They don't count as blue based control. Mill is for nerds.

Recently I've been having a blast with Grapple with the Past again after I had thought the card to be too slow for a while. Nice to see I was somewhat wrong and that Green is not completely terrible in current Duels (also, the deck gives me an excuse to play with Nissa, Vastwood Seer; probably my favourite card in Duels).

Would love to find a shell for Brisela, but it seems that is just too slow.

This was one of my funnest duels decks, Green stompy, make a huge dude and draw a billion cards off of a riskars expertise!

That was a fun deck to play. I ran it for a while after seeing your vid on it. Rishkaring into huge draws and free casting Onslaught for a 1 sided boardwipe was a blast. I tried to recreate that part of it in UG ramp but it was never as good as your mono green stompy.

I've been thinking about that 4 color Flameshadow Conjuring deck that CGB made. I would never have believed that list would work if I hadn't seen it proven in his video. Shocking he pulled off a mana base to cast all those demanding color requirements. I want to build it as soon as I can muster up the effort to dig through his channel log for the list...

Wanted to make a thread for the most fun decks you've played in Duels. I mentioned Boros Valor and Temur Fling-A-Drake in the thread asking about good aggro decks. I have a blast playing those. I recently rebuilt Wintervoid's Jeskai Inevitability deck, updating a few card choices with things that came out after he made that one and won Steam Showdown with it (i.e. Cast Out, Commit//Memory, etc - I think I made 6 card swaps in total IIRC, not counting color tweaks to manabase). That's been a lot of fun to revisit. I've made it a subgame to deal lethal damage on the same turn I mill the last card in opps library, lol. Man that list is fun, and I'm not even a control player normally. So what are your favorites when you're looking to have fun while still playing a reasonably competitive deck? Conversely, what's the least fun? For me worst is probably GB -1/-1 counters decks. I used to play them to complete the related challenge for golds when that still mattered to me, but god it was like pulling teeth to play. When I started playing again recently the first thing I did was delete that stupid deck from my deckbox. Felt so good to not even have to see the box in my list anymore

This version of Inevitability I'm running: 4 x Galvanic Bombardment 3 x Blessed Alliance 2 x Declaration in Stone 4 x Take Inventory 1 x Kefnet the Mindful 3 x Sphinx's Tutelage 2 x Fevered Visions 1 x Geistblast 2 x Radiant Flames 2 x Collective Defiance 1 x Gideon of the Trials 3 x Cast Out 1 x Nahri, the Harbinger 2 x Planar Outburst 1 x Jace, Unraveler of Secrets 1 x Chandra, Flamecaller 1 x Commit // Memory 3 x Plains 3 x Island 4 x Mountain 2 x Wandering Fumarole 2 x Needle Spires 2 x Prairie Stream 2 x Clifftop Retreat 2 x Sulfer Falls 2 x Glacial Fortress 4 x Evolving Wilds Edit: -1 Gideon, Ally of Zendikar, -1 Geistblast, +1 Gideon of the Trials, +1 Blessed Alliance. GAoZ's creature tokens only serve to let opp play their removal and lower their hand size. GotT's damage nurf is waaay more useful here. Worth having 1 less p/t when using him as an attacker. At least I might make a GotT emblem to buy an extra turn, but I've never used GAoZ emblem with this deck. Geistcasting a big payoff is hella fun but BA's a better removal spell than a 3cc 2 damage spell. To my questioning Kefnet below, he's pulled weight and been decent. I'm not sold on Kefnet. Maybe should be 3rd Alliance or something. But I like the idea of an indestructible draw engine so haven't cut him/her/xer yet. I upped the land count by one from what Wintervoid's ran because got to hit dem land drops, and plenty of ways to loot cards later. Man I wish we had gotten those cycling dual lands from the last set... Anyways, I love the versatility of this deck. So much fun to play, and I usually dislike playing control decks so that's saying something.

Most fun is blue based control. Least fun is aggro decks with minimal removal or interaction.

Inevitability is the only mill deck I've really liked. I hated playing the fog mill decks in early seasons, and the Izzet mill decks are only slightly more enjoyable than fog mill. Maybe it's just because I helped Wintervoid revise a few initial card choices in his deck and I'm partial to it because I feel like a small contributor to a deck that in its era was top tier, but that deck breaks all my normal rules. Usually feel like control is worse than cancer, but I'll play the sh*t out of Inevitability.

Funniest to play... IDK but I know what’s the more overrated... that's Esper control by a mile.

I built it and it sucks. Mana base is painfully strained; IDK how CGB made it look so good in his video. I had land problems in every game I played before I gave up and deleted. I also found and played his Temur energy shadow, and that was miles better in comparison. But all that reminded me how much fun blink decks are. Also, lololol, I went through the stompy thread to built the list again, and read through the pages to check discussions and alt builds. I had forgotten how cringey Kel got in there Ended up sticking with the build in the OP. Still fun to play and stompy

Found the Brisela deck I wanted. Big plusses: It's Abzan and it runs Grapple . Need to check back how similar it is to some older decks of Zerris and/or me; but so far it has been working out nicely (though it probably is not quite optimal yet). Creatures (14) 2 x Sylvan Advocate 1 x Nissa, Vastwood Seer 2 x Tireless Tracker 1 x Gisela, the Broken Blade 1 x Mindwrack Demon 1 x Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet 1 x Archangel Avacyn 1 x Ishkanah, Grafwidow 1 x Linvala, the Preserver 1 x Noxious Gearhulk 2 x Bruna, the Fading Light Non-creature spells (20) 3 x Fatal Push 2 x Oath of Nissa 2 x Declaration in Stone 4 x Grapple with the Past 1 x Liliana, the Last Hope 2 x Anguished Unmaking 1 x Gideon, Ally of Zendikar 2 x Yahenni's Expertise 1 x Ob Nixilis Reignited 1 x Liliana, Death's Majesty 1 x Sorin, Grim Nemesis Lands (26) 2 x Plains 3 x Swamp 2 x Forest 2 x Shambling Vent 2 x Hissing Quagmire 2 x Canopy Vista 2 x Isolated Chapel 2 x Woodland Cemetary 2 x Sunpetal Grove 3 x Aether Hub 4 x Evolving Wilds Was considering some other cards, but couldn't fit them; mainly Cast Out. On the other hand, the manabase ended up being heavier green than I anticipated; so the deck _could_ play double-Green cards, which I did not account for while building. That said, I wouldn't know which one I'd want and what to cut for it.

Only aggro deck I actually enjoyed was Rakdos Suicide Vamps

@Vert - suicide vamps was fun. That Rakdos suicide build you did was one of my favorites that season. I think the only card I didn't like and took out was Midnight Oil. I used it to power through the ranks hella quick, and it was my go-to deck to recover rank in a jiffy after testing janky AF brews. @Modulo - I haven't played an Abzan build since before taking a break from Duels. List looks interesting and I'll give it a spin for the Angels.
