Aang

And, you know, if you're playing a lot of things that stop people from playing more than one spell a turn, I mean, you don't care about slop.

I think Aang does that style better because it also has blue and it's kind of, hey, get to mana, play Aang, win, hopefully.

If not, maybe I have a Flickerhound because Flickerhound is four.

I think Aang puts anything four out.

And then do it again.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm Sterling, or Sterlang, as I like to go by, and...

Right now, the number one top-performing Aang player, and I got the stats to prove it, so feel free to at me in the comments if you disagree or think you're better.

Totally fine with that.

But I think this is the best band deck in all of CDH and EDH combined.

Maybe don't play that.

Yeah, I mean, I remember playing with you really like about a year ago now on Blue Farm, and you seemed so uncomfortable on the deck.

And fast forward to like maybe eight months ago, and you were playing Aang, and you just cooked the pod, like just night and day, the level of confidence that you seem to have on this deck.

And your results have been like there, like I mean, not to like glaze you too hard, but you top 16 to diamond this year on this deck.

So, yes.

We also have four copies of Aang's Iceberg to deal with problematic permanence.

Yep.

And that's basically the deck.

I think it obviously needs some tinkering just to kind of get the balance right.

And obviously it is the kind of deck that you do need to adjust for the metagame that you expect.

You know, how many copies of Seamrip are you playing? How many copies of Aang's Iceberg are you playing? How many copies of Day of Judgment are you playing? What does your Planeswalker suite look like? But as a core, as a slow the game down, draw a card every turn, put tokens into play, throw those tokens under the bus, I think that strategy is pretty good.

I like it.

And also the Garuda pirate pilot has a lot of decisions to make.

Um, I would also say that maybe those people have gone over to Aang because they're like, well, Aang is banned.

So I have like mana dorks and also it's a very similar experience, but it just involves me, not other people.

So I'm not going to time.

So like we were talking with Garuda, it fell from grace quite a bit.

It went from 31% to 15%.

I think a lot of that is the pilots went over to Aang, if I had to throw my own conjecture out.

That's a fair guess.
