Title: Premium Deck Series: What's next?
Post by: Dudecore on July 07, 2012, 06:35:19 PM
What do you think? They made Slivers (unpopular), Burn deck (and a major {R} archetype), Reanimator ({B} archetype). So who is next?

This whole threat is baseless speculation.

I expect to see maybe
{U}- Merfolk?
{G}{W}- Zoo?
Affinity?

Since they did red burn, they do blue counter?

Green could be beasts

White could life gain.

Slivers were unpopular? ???  No one told ME that!  :o

Should be something splashy, but not Standard. Show and Tell?  Artifacts?

That's what I thought!  The slivers were irritating to play against.

{Tarmogoyf} would be cool in a current frame and foil. Let's go Zoo! The land would be difficult to get correctly.{R}{G}{W}

I dunno. I doubt they'd reprint 'goyf. Collectors would have a conniption fit.  (you know, that's the first time I've ever written that expression. Turns out it's a real thing. 😁)

Based purely on its popularity in tournament play, my bet is on a delver deck of some sort.

I don't think that's what they base the Primium Series on. It's more for Timmy Casual players that like shiny things (a category I fall into).

I have 5 sets of goyf and I would not mind a reprint. I would like to play it in standard again.

I hope it's not affinity. I hope it will be something that has cards that have a chance to be printed in RtR block. Affinity is not that.

I could see {Tarmogoyf} as a 1-of in a Preconstructed zoo deck. They printed {Entomb} when that was a $40 card.

Basically premium deck series is for casuals who wanna play staple Legacy decks, but don't wanna spend the money. Graveborn is tons of fun, super powerful. Zoo could be the same.

Purely based on speculation, a Merfolk deck would be cool. They can kinda tie it into M13, Blue can be featured, reprint {Brainstorm} for everyone, new art, foil. {AEther Vial} is likely out, since they changed the art and reprinted it in From the Vault: Relics and it's kinda nessicary. {Daze}, {Standstill} and {Cursecatcher} printed with new art and foil. But I'm biased, I play Legacy Merfolk as my main deck.
