Supposedly Rudy from Alpha Investments (Youtube) has a deck like this. I don't think he plays it in tournaments though.

So many amazing Magic originals at Illuxcon this year; and I'm not there! /sob
I'm surprised Mark Zug still owns Pacificsm, tbh. And I actually like Matt Stewart's sketches more than his final pieces.

Thank you for posting the link.
I love the wolves. I could see that hanging up in my house.

Zug had a picture at the show that @OriginalMtgArt labeled as "Rhox promo art":
It's never been used on a card, though, and as far as I can tell wasn't used on packaging or anything either. Anyone seen this one before?

What an era - no sleeves, mullets, and cheesy rock music. I swear I see guys at GPs still dressed like people in this video.
Jon's blond hair looks like a block of package ramen.

We're so far out from those days now that people don't even get jokes about this anymore:

It can be yours for only $1100, if he doesn't sell it this weekend (probably will).
Is that Timberlake?

The Switch version of Magic Digital Next should use Mox Rupees as currency.

Hapatra deck went 2-1 (one bye). The deck has promise, it works well against aggro and you can do a transforming sideboard against control.

Nice work. I wish they let -1/-1 counters rock for more than 1 set at a time, because it never seems like they have enough support to really function all that well in standard. I know why they don't, but still. It's just a shame for them to print something cool like Hapatra or the Scorpion God and basically tell everyone "this is meant for jank decks or EDH, sorry".

Thanks! It's really iffy sometimes, only 12 cards to get the engine working. Crocodile of the Crossing and Ammit Eternal are both lifelines because they can go it alone.
There's really nothing except Fatal Push and maybe Vraska outside of Amonkhet block, because those are just crazy good on their own.
Below is what I ran. For the future I'm going to put some deserts in there and a couple of Decimator Beetles because they give multiple triggers easily. Also another Banewhip Punisher for anti dino duty. Exemplar of Strength must go because it's good only when you drop it on turn 2.
Have you considered splashing red for Scorpion God? Seems like the best reason to focus on -1/-1 counters to me. Great late-game mana sink, very resilient, and draws cards. Red also gets you Merciless Javelineer, who's probably too slow, but could work well with Ammit Eternal and Hapatra by getting rid of blockers.
Another option could be to splash white for Grind//Dust. It's just another 4 mana exile spell, but it can hit multiple targets if you throw around enough counters. And Grind is pretty cheap to play.

I haven't, but Scoprion God is a pretty great idea.

Just tuned in to see what was happening and hearing Cedric's voice and then PSully was great. Love those two goofs lol
I don't love Modern, but I will watch because of them. Kinda wish it was Standard because I didn't watch Worlds and haven't been following it super closely. Whatevs.

the affinity player boarded in grafdigger's cage against an ancient ziggurat, aether vial, no mana dorks deck. He kept them after game 2 even, never seeing anything pointing towards a CoCo.

I was about to post something similar. If the site goes down in flames, I'd like to have a place to go to with this community
Good to know you have this covered, I'll save the link in case of the worst.

I should get onto this dscord thing, lots of people are doing it and I'm on the cusp of feeling old because of it.
It's my first time using it, took 2 seconds to join.

I already have an account just don't use any of the discord invites I got. You get a one of those from pretty much any Patreon and twitch sub.

I mean, if the -1/-1 cards were pushed enough having it be a single-set mechanic wouldn't matter. For the last year a significant number of Standard tournament decks have just been janky Kalatrash value decks.
(I would prefer they just avoided putting so much value in set mechanics that you can be competitive running what looks like a draft deck, though, personally.)

When I made that post, the site was super slow, so I didn't want people to get stuck unable to quote it. It's more stable now, so hiding with email tags now.
Yeah, that's true. Last thing we need is Energy all over again.
I wouldn't have minded having one of them be pushed enough for constructed, like Exert got Glorybringer. I hoped it would be Scorpion God, but alas.

I think Scorpion God is supposed to be Standard pushed and just didn't quite hit the mark. There's always going to be some gulf between where they intend cards to land and where they actually hit. (Unless they use Arena to actually do a massive PTR pre-printing, but that would mean sets would be entirely leaked like four months ahead of release.)
It would have also been interesting to see a world where Liliana, Death's Majesty and Liliana, Death Wielder (the PW deck one with actual -1/-1 synergies) got flipped, with the design of LDW being pushed and LDM getting relegated to overcosted PW deck card. I understand why they didn't, though, since Last Hope was still in Standard and having a Liliana the drops -1/-1 counters on creatures would have been a bit too similar to that.
