Deck talk

Dump your Amulet stuff. There is going to be 1-3 in the Top 8, and it had turn 1 kill followed by turn 2 kill on camera, that deck is eating a ban hard.

Does anybody have a list?

Can you explain in another thread.

Amulet as a deck is nowhere near ban-worthy.  Regardless of how well it's doing, it still is and has been a Tier 1.5-2 deck.  The deck takes an incredible amount of skill to pilot successfully, not to mention it's probably the easiest deck in the format to hate out with Blood Moon.  None of the pieces are from newer sets, so these lists have been floating around for a could years.  Just because it's a lot more popular and can have amazingly explosive hands doesn't mean it's ban-worthy.

Umm...the turn four rule directly states that those "amazingly explosive hands" are banworthy, and after top 8ing the last 5 large events, it's hard to not call it tier 1

Affinity is T3. Just sayin.

It also gets raped by the sideboard.

T3 Affinity win is godhand territory.

True. Amulet is much more consistent and harder to hate on. {Blood Moon} though. Then again I never run that. Which isn't too bad as I've never played against Amulet.

I've gotta lean towards ban.

Isn't Bloom just a glass cannon deck though?

Something else to take into account is that pod is now not in the format. It may not have been tier one before but it is now

The reason the Bloom Titan might get a ban is bc of how in interactive it is. But having said that it's a hard to play deck that folds to a lot of cards so idk if it's actually ban worthy

This is why the modern format sucks now. Modern has just become Yugioh, essentially.

The Untap.In meta has been nice to me still. I rarely play against ridiculous decks. I've only played burn once. Shapeshift twice. Twin three times. Pod three times (when it was a thing). 8 Rack once. Ascendancy Combo once. Never played Amulet. Most of the meta is fun janky combos and relatively fair decks. Like I seriously played a {Form of the Dragon} deck and it slayed me.
