Wilds of Eldraine: Building with Rats in 2023

Too-Specific Top 10 - "And Each Player"

<h1 style="text-align: left;">But I'm a Creep, I'm a Weirdo</h1>
<p>Welcome to <em>Superior Numbers,</em> where I try to do numerical analysis on cards and deckbuilding trends using a little bit of math.</p>
<p>I'd like to talk about the power of the game and how it's changed over the years, specifically regarding creatures. In December of 2019, I took a look at the year of origin of the top 100 cards in the previous two years in EDH. You can find that article <a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/superior-numbers-breaking-down-the-top-100/">here</a> if you didn't get a chance to read it, or want to revisit it. Probably the most relevant bit of data is the following chart, which seems to indicate a relatively even distribution of the most popular cards in the game:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/ChartGo.png" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You'll note I said popular, not powerful. That's all we can really rank, after all. I don't think anyone would disagree that <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Brainstorm" href="#" target="_blank">Brainstorm</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is a more powerful card than <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Opt" href="#" target="_blank">Opt</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, but the fact still remains that evaluating the two against each other is still at least a little bit subjective. There're decks and situations where <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Opt" href="#" target="_blank">Opt</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> may regularly be more effective. Still, we go to war with the army we have, not the army we wish we had, and a measurement of popularity is the army we have at the moment.</p>
<p>Here's what this chart and my article last year didn't show, however; the breakdown of specific card types. Because while there may be a somewhat even distribution of the year of origin of the most popular cards, that doesn't mean there's an even distribution of them based on type. And what's the one card type that <em>Magic</em> players often point to when it comes to power creep? Creatures. That's not even a far past vs present discussion; it wasn't many years back that both <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Thragtusk" href="#" target="_blank">Thragtusk</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Siege Rhino" href="#" target="_blank">Siege Rhino</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> terrorized Standard, and both would struggle today to compete with the strongest cardboard bodies in the game. Look at the impact of <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Baneslayer Angel" href="#" target="_blank">Baneslayer Angel</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> on Standard when it was originally printed a decade ago vs the reprint last summer.</p>

<p><em>WotC</em> has specifically stated that they've tried to push creature power in recent years, in part because it was probably underpowered in early game iterations, and in part because they think it makes for more interesting gameplay. I don't have to look any further than my own decks to see that, at least for me, I heavily favor creatures from very recent sets:</p>
<p><a href="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/20210424071317_hd.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-64948 aligncenter" src="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/20210424071317_hd-1024x605.png" alt="" width="1024" height="605" srcset="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/20210424071317_hd-1024x605.png 1024w, https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/20210424071317_hd-300x177.png 300w, https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/20210424071317_hd-768x454.png 768w, https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/20210424071317_hd-1536x908.png 1536w, https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/20210424071317_hd-2048x1210.png 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a>The numbers are skewed even further when you realize that a lot of the creatures populating the graph prior to 2001 or so are doing so because they're highly specialized and go into a niche decks. They aren't showing up in my lists because they're particularly powerful or effective outside that shell:</p>
<ul>
<li>1993
<ul>
<li><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Verduran Enchantress" href="#" target="_blank">Verduran Enchantress</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is in my Enchantress deck, but outside that specific type of build it's rarely good enough to play.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>1997
<ul>
<li><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Crypt Rats" href="#" target="_blank">Crypt Rats</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> basically shows up in various Rat tribal decks, or my case my <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Pestilence" href="#" target="_blank">Pestilence</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> list.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>1998
<ul>
<li>This is probably the big exception as it's the year of a couple of Urza's sets, one of the most busted blocks of all time. I'm running <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Metalworker" href="#" target="_blank">Metalworker</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Karn, Silver Golem" href="#" target="_blank">Karn, Silver Golem</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> here, as well as <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Spike Weaver" href="#" target="_blank">Spike Weaver</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> from <em>Exodus</em>, which is generally a good card outside even the +1 counters deck where I use it.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>1999
<ul>
<li>This year brought me another hyper-specific card in <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Thrashing Wumpus" href="#" target="_blank">Thrashing Wumpus</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> for my Pestilence deck, and a couple more strong Urza's block Enchantress-themed cards in <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Argothian Enchantress" href="#" target="_blank">Argothian Enchantress</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Academy Rector" href="#" target="_blank">Academy Rector</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>2001
<ul>
<li>2001 features the last of the old-school Pestilence-esque cards showing up in my decks in <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Infected Vermin" href="#" target="_blank">Infected Vermin</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Essentially, if I didn't have a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Pestilence" href="#" target="_blank">Pestilence</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> deck or an Enchantress list, I'd have five cards from 2001 or earlier.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Verduran Enchantress"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Spike Weaver"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Academy Rector"></div></div>
<p>Now, there's a couple of things to note here. First, a lot more <em>Magic</em> sets come out in the average year today than did in 1996, and the sets tend to be larger. There's also a whole host of supplemental products that also offer more opportunities for creatures to find their way into decks. Recency bias is also a thing, where you want to run a new toy or test something that just got printed.</p>
<p>Still, there's not 30 times as many cards being released today as in 2001-2003, and while I playtest cards I then take out, that can't account for all of them. The reality is creatures are just getting stronger, and thus they're also likely getting more popular.</p>

<p>Okay, so the fact that I personally like running newer creatures is all well and good, but does that play out when we look at people that aren't me? I do much prefer to talk about myself, but I guess we can look at the general population as a whole, or at least the general population whose decks are scraped by EDHREC. Thanks to Nate Burgess, who you can find on twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/MisterPlorg">@MisterPlorg</a>, for pulling this bit of data for me and saving me the work of having to manually look up all 100 cards.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/a20210424103703_hd.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-64957 aligncenter" src="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/a20210424103703_hd-1024x623.png" alt="" width="1024" height="623" srcset="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/a20210424103703_hd-1024x623.png 1024w, https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/a20210424103703_hd-300x183.png 300w, https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/a20210424103703_hd-768x468.png 768w, https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/a20210424103703_hd-1536x935.png 1536w, https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/a20210424103703_hd-2048x1247.png 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a>The contrast isn't quite as vivid as it is in my decks, but it's still rather large. I think the dip in 2020 stats is probably due to folks who aren't as diligent about updating their lists as soon as possible. I'd wager if we revisited this bit of data a year from now, we'd see 2020's statistics are a lot closer to 2018-2019 than they are to 2003-2004.</p>
<hr />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">I Want You to Notice, When I'm Not Around</h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Dockside Extortionist"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Springbloom Druid"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Thassa&#039;s Oracle"></div></div>
<p>Okay, so what do we take away from all of this? Well, two things.</p>
<p>First, creatures today are more popular than creatures printed years ago. Does this mean that they're stronger? Probably, though there're other factors like price, availability, and obscurity that do hinder older cardboard. They also tend to do more things, which makes them more interesting deck inclusions. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Shivan Dragon" href="#" target="_blank">Shivan Dragon</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is an iconic card, particularly with the original Alpha art, but what it offers a deck pales in comparison to something like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Goldspan Dragon" href="#" target="_blank">Goldspan Dragon</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. Goldspan is not only generally stronger, it works as a force multiplier in decks that care about Treasure, sacrificing things, artifact count, tokens, etc.</p>
<p>Second, given the graph at the very top of the page showing the overall distribution of card types, it probably means that we'd see an inverse skew for a lot of other types that result in us getting that fairly even graph. In other words if card representation is mostly even through the top 100, but creatures tend to lean heavily to recent sets, that must mean that some other card type is more popular from older sets. It's not a coincidence that there're no creatures in the Power 9 after all.</p>
<hr />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Whatever Makes You Happy, Whatever You Want</h2>
<p>So let's wrap this up by learning something from what we've gathered and find a way to apply this. The primary lesson I'm taking away here is that creatures today are generally better than ones printed 4-5 years ago, and the ones then are generally better than the ones printed through the game's first 15 years. When new sets come out and you want to add a new body, the best place to look for cuts are going to usually be cutting older creatures.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading, and, as always, may your numbers be superior.</p>


Superior Numbers - Fantastic Beasts and When to Find Them

<h1>Writer's Block, Meet Brewer's Block</h1>
<p>Welcome to <em>Superior Numbers,</em> where I try to do numerical analysis on cards and deckbuilding trends using a little bit of math.</p>
<p>Except in the case of this particular article, where I'm going to be doing none of those things. This instead will be entirely abstract; specifically, addressing the concept of brewing block. There's no data that I can really cite here that's going to help you blast past brewing block. Instead, I'm going to attempt to talk it out.</p>
<p>I had brewer's block in 2019, though I really didn't recognize it as such until the end of the year when I realized that I had only kept one deck I built over the previous 365 days, and it was one that I built in January. That means that the other 11 months added nothing to my library.</p>
<p>It wasn't just that though; sometimes you're going to have a streak where brews just don't work, or don't captivate you, etc. The problem wasn't that I was building decks and not keeping them. No, what I realized after looking back was that I wasn't building decks in 2019 at all, or at least not getting far enough in the process to try them out at a table. Aside from the <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kresh the Bloodbraided" href="#" target="_blank">Kresh the Bloodbraided</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Fling" href="#" target="_blank">Fling</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> deck that I kept, the only two decks I really tried in 2019 were <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Arvad the Cursed" href="#" target="_blank">Arvad the Cursed</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts" href="#" target="_blank">Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. Anything else that I built never made it past the virtual sandbox stage.</p>
<p>We're now halfway through the nightmare year that is 2020 and I have two finished decks added to the arsenal: a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Tymaret the Murder King" href="#" target="_blank">Tymaret the Murder King</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> <em>Infect</em> build, and an <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Athreos, Shroud-Veiled" href="#" target="_blank">Athreos, Shroud-Veiled</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Pestilence" href="#" target="_blank">Pestilence</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> deck. So what's the difference between 2019 and 2020, other than we're clearly living in the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POT3plx0vBs">Darkest Timeline</a>? Well, in looking back, I can see a couple of things that were issues....</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good</h2>
<p>My decks rarely show up fully formed. Maybe yours do, but mine don't. Goldfishing only goes so far for me. A deck requires reps to actually smooth off the rough edges. Take my <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Vela the Night-Clad" href="#" target="_blank">Vela the Night-Clad</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> deck. It started with nothing more than the notion that a commander who grants intimidate would render a field of colorless creatures unblockable. That was the entire plan. So I slapped it together, initially using Eldrazi, then artifact creatures, and played some games. Over the course of playing them, I found out quite a few things:</p>
<ul>
<li>Since Vela deals damage when a creature leaves my battlefield, things that made artifact creature tokens were useful, so I added cards like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Myr Battlesphere" href="#" target="_blank">Myr Battlesphere</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Hangarback Walker" href="#" target="_blank">Hangarback Walker</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</li>
<li>At that point, since I was making artifact creature tokens, I would, by definition, have a lot of artifact creatures in play. There are multiple 'walkers, like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas" href="#" target="_blank">Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, who deal damage based on the number of artifacts I have in play, so why not run some of those?</li>
<li>What if I turn my other artifacts, like my rocks, into creatures? They'll also get unblockable, and I can sacrifice them afterward and Vela will generate even more damage.</li>
</ul>
<p>The important part here is that I found those things over the course of playing the deck. Would I have found them out had I abandoned the deck in the goldfishing phase, or even after 2-3 games like I did Teysa and Arvad? No. And who knows what other synergies I would have found that would have made Teysa or Arvad if I didn't give up so early? But I let the perfect be the enemy of the good; I let two decks that played fine go because they didn't play as well as a deck that had significantly evolved over the course of multiple years and a significant number of reps.</p>

<p>I'm someone who doesn't like to build popular commanders for a multitude of reasons, almost all of which can in some way be traced back to ego. Yet I have a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Talrand, Sky Summoner" href="#" target="_blank">Talrand, Sky Summoner</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> deck, the second-most-popular mono-blue commander by a margin of 400+ decks. How is that?</p>
<p>Well, I built the deck in 2014 before EDHREC was really a thing, so what was popular or not wasn't really a known quantity beyond what I saw pop up at my local tables. It's a deck I really enjoy, too. It's interactive, making tokens for all the mediocre one- and two-mana cantrips that I cast before winning with a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Gravitational Shift" href="#" target="_blank">Gravitational Shift</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>- or <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Coat of Arms" href="#" target="_blank">Coat of Arms</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>-enabled alpha strike. I like playing it a lot. And you know what? If Talrand was released today and raced to the top of the popularity charts, I'd never have built the deck. I'd have let my own hangup get in the way of brewing up something I really enjoy.</p>
<p>Going into this year, <a href="https://articles.edhrec.com/author/joseph-schultz/">Dr. Joseph Schultz, Jr. III</a>, my podcast co-host and editor, challenged me to build a deck with a popular commander. I had been debating building a deck around the <em>Exalted</em> mechanic, and freed from my own weird hipster tendencies I picked <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kenrith, the Returned King" href="#" target="_blank">Kenrith, the Returned King</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. Kenrith as a commander is fairly strong, but, in a deck with all <em>Exalted</em> bodies, it makes for a playable deck against decks operating at just above the precon level.</p>

<hr />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Look for Ideas by Looking for Ideas</h2>
<p>After having not built a deck for well over a year, I started getting restless. I knew that I didn't want a combat damage deck, but I also detest combo as a win condition. Nothing immediately caught my attention as an idea, so I went back to the beginning and just started going through cards from <em>Alpha</em>. Two cards jumped out at me as something that one could build a deck around while not reliant on the combat phase: <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Karma" href="#" target="_blank">Karma</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Pestilence" href="#" target="_blank">Pestilence</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. I couldn't really find anything else that felt like it would work well enough to make a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Karma" href="#" target="_blank">Karma</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> deck in doing a search for similar effects, but I knew <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Withering Wisps" href="#" target="_blank">Withering Wisps</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> existed as a card, and a search quickly found me <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Crypt Rats" href="#" target="_blank">Crypt Rats</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Pestilence Demon" href="#" target="_blank">Pestilence Demon</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Thrashing Wumpus" href="#" target="_blank">Thrashing Wumpus</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. That seemed like enough redundant effects to build a deck around.</p>
<p>On top of all of that, a deck filled with effects to prevent damage to me on my turns and from my sources like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Pestilence" href="#" target="_blank">Pestilence</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> works pretty well with <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="" href="#" target="_blank"></a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>Karma<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="" href="#" target="_blank"></a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, too.</p>
<p>The lesson here is that inspiration doesn't always come to you. Sometimes you need to come to inspiration. That may take the form of just reading through cards on old sets, or it may entail looking through decks on your favorite deckbuilding site, or watching gameplay videos or streams. Whatever method you choose, sometimes you just need to go looking for the lightning instead of waiting for the strike.</p>
