I don't see one around, so I'll make it myself.

Gonna answer my own questions
>>What are you playing?
I'm playing a mostly budget Dimir Pirate deck that mostly uses Favourable Winds, two Fell Flagships, and a one off Beckett Brass to pump my flying pirates (along with a set of Aether Harvesters)
It would probably be better if I had a good sideboard and better lands.
>>What are you hating?
Everything, though my deck isn't actually *that* terrible and can compete with, if not win against, things like Approach and energy aggro.
>>What are you brewing?
I want to do a bigger, better pirate deck, and I've basically got a playset of every pirate card at this point in hopes that Rivals gives me what I need. I want to do Revel in Riches.
>>What do you hope to see from Rivals?
Pirates. Both for EDH and Standard, whether it's cheap fliers or something to make a pirate tribal aggro deck really play well.
Treasure tokens that come from something better than draft commons. I want stuff to make Revel in Riches work.

>just ordered RR, will hopefully be here by Friday
>energy. Not because I think it's some unbeatable monster of a deck, but because of how op energy in general is.
>I'd love more decent dinosaurs so I could actually use Gishath in ash.
Quick question, is there likens stock RR deck? Some run crop crashers and some dont

Since this thread is dying I'm going to just post my decklist and ask for advice.
4 Siren Stormtamer
4 Kitesail Freebooter
4 Lookout's Dispersal
4 Aethersphere Harvester
4 Favourable Winds
2 Fell Flagship
1 Admiral Beckett Brass
2 Dreamcaller Siren
2 Skyship Plunderer
2 Storm Fleet Aerialist
3 Hostage Taker
2 Sword-Point Diplomacy
3 Chart a Course
4 Unclaimed Territory
2 Submerged Boneyard
1 Drowned Catacomb
1 Fetid Pools
6 Swamp
9 Islands
SIDEBOARD
1 Deadeye Tracker
3 Negate
1 Spell Pierce
2 Walk the Plank
1 Sentinel Totem
2 Essence Scatter
2 Metallic Rebuke
2 Heartless Pillage
1 Doomfall
I feel like my sideboard is a mess, and Heartless Pillage isn't as great ever since I took out Raider's Wake for being too high cost. I can't really think of reasons I'd want to side it in.

>>What are you playing?
BW Hidden Stockpile Anointer Priest. Trying to come up with a better gameplan than "Chump everything and resolve a Marionette Master, or just go to time"
>>What are you hating?
Nothing really. The sheer number of aggro decks out there is getting annoying though, even though it's a favored matchup.
>>What are you brewing?
Esper God Pharaoh's Gift. Seems fun and I'm just dying to play my Champion of Wits since Elder Deep Fiend rotated.
>>What do you hope to see from Rivals?
Better vampire support. Maybe something to make Bant goodstuff happen too.

>What are you playing?
Esper mummies
>What are you hating?
I don't know anymore, it's been a while. Last time Energy made my ass hurt a lot
>What are you brewing?
I just found out a Abzan Explore deck and I'm really liking it good jib kittus
>What do you hope to see from Rivals?
1)Counters (Energy) hate
2)Explore shenanigans
3)Something that helps tokens

depends on your local meta ;^D
how do you plan to pay for Brass if you have no treasure or red mana? It's hard to attack with 3 pirates, figures deal damage.
Remove the Boneyard and add 2 Evolving wilds, you don't need a lot of mana in this deck. do you?
I've never tried Sword-Point diplomacy IRL, do you think it works?
Try a Kefnet monument, if you think that you may need time or bontu if you need a bit more life or damage.
>SIDEBOARD
Add another totem and 2 Bontu's Last Reckoning. I don't like all those counter spells, if approach of the second sun is a problem try lost legacy. River's rebuke as a last stand against tokens.

What's better
1 hazoret, 1 crop crasher, and 3 sand stranglers, or 1 hazoret, and 4 crashers?

>how do you plan to pay for Brass if you have no treasure or red mana?
Unclaimed Territory naming Pirates. And she's mostly there as another Anthem effect. If I can get her ability off it's just extra spicy.
>I've never tried Sword-Point diplomacy IRL, do you think it works?
It is so good and I wish I had a playset.
The monuments might actually be good ideas, though my deck isn't exactly creature heavy at only 18, and the most likely things to cut (or sideboard out) are Skyship Plunderers and Storm Fleet Aerialists.
I don't need a lot of land, though, so maybe I will put in Evolving Wilds.
>Add another totem and 2 Bontu's Last Reckoning. I don't like all those counter spells, if approach of the second sun is a problem try lost legacy. River's rebuke as a last stand against tokens.
I'm more likely to use the Trackers than the Totem, honestly. Lost Legacy is probably a good idea that I should have thought about.
I actually used to have River's Rebuke, but took it out because it was too high cost. Might be a good idea to put it back in, you're right.

Newfag here.
My wife and I just picked up playing.
She is using a blue/green deck and I am using a black/white deck. She keeps destroying me with 7/7 and 8/8 cards and my deck is full of weaker cards but they all have shit like lifelink. Anything I can do to my deck to combat this? I lose every fucking time.
