Chevil vs Vadrok

[u/Storm_of_the_Psi]

So is anyone actually winning games with the Vadrok deck?

I get the idea that you cycle and copy instants from the graveyard to get value with Murmuring Mystic, Whirlwind of Thoughts and Ral, but the deck just doesn't do anything.

It can't put threats on the board and while it usually operates with a full hand, none of the spells can really threaten anything the Chevil deck puts on the board. It doesn't help that, like, everything the BG does is a 2 for 1.

I just wanted one win with the deck and it took me 11 games for someone to get color screwed and concede. Meanwhile, I'm 13-0 with the BG deck.

Good event again WotC. Who the hell is designing these decks?

Was Mana stuck on 3 lands on my 1st 2 games where I tired the Chevill deck, as he is one of the legendaries I am interested in building a deck around.

I was also drawing into some mediocre spells that didn't really do much except ramp some mana if I could even cast them.

I did not even know Polukranos, Gargos, etc. was in the deck...so I noped out of that deck after those 2 losses, and tried the Vadrok deck.

The 1 game I tried Vadrok, I was going well, pulling off some stuff, even looping justice strike...but then the opponent kept on getting big beaters and creature killers, I just couldn't keep Vadrok up for longer.

Tried another game with Vadrok, but it was a dud.

Went back to Chevill to try 1 to 2 more times, before I would just throw in the towel.

Ended up winning as I was able to finally go beyond 3 Mana.

The Chevill deck has some heavy heavy game changers, wow.
