  1. for timeless, I would like some of the cards that are already on arena be make available for crafting, tron lands come to mind. We all need big Emrakul, or at less something with annihilator. would also like to get Progenitus, more for brawl then timeless but still. And I guess something to make re-animator a deck would be fun too.

  2. If you had a Lotus Petal turn 1 with 2 Dark Rits, Swamp, Necro, and Laelia you would have a turn 1 KO.

    Swamp > Rit > Rit > [6 Black] Necro > Petal > [3 Black] Petal for Red > Laelia > AGRESSIVELY NECRO

  3. Please remember if you find someone using Callous Sellswords “fling” it is worded as a Bite spell where it needs a target creature, so if you use a removal spell wait until it is on the stack and then remove the creature, that will fizzle the Callous Sellswords “fling”

  4. I’ve been rocking a blue heavy (only non-blue non-fetch is a single forest) temur tempo kind of shell in ranked Timeless. Necro is one of my favorite matchups. They spend their life, I protect a Ragavan and counter their Beseech’s nd Sheoldred’s etc., and punish their ridiculous life loss. It feels good.

  5. About Necropotence, during Extended era, there was a saying:
    How do you balance a format?
    Unban Necropotence, then ban everything until Necrodeck is the top deck, then ban Necropotence 😝

  6. IDK how to submit decks, but i have the perfect 0 rare deck for you, i went 8-10 with this deck on arena
    Bone shards
    fruits of tezerus
    Blazing Rootwalla
    Faithless looting
    Bitter Triumph
    Alms of the vein
    Thrill of Possibility
    Firey Temper
    Kitchen Imp
    Add what ever lands in equal proportion black and red (i like mount doom for lategame ping damage but that goes agenest no rare clause)
    Sideboard (typically if you can't agrro them out,)
    feed the swarm
    Raze the effigy
    abrade
    Bitter reunion
    (your favorite removal spells to deal with what ever your opponent is playing)

  7. This might be too late of a comment for you to see, but seth if you put the game in full control when activating necro you can quickly add a bunch of activations onto the stack and then just let it resolve together. saves a lot of time.
