Deck and SB guide, effective 8/5/2022

Added 2022-08-06 15:40:57 +0000 UTC

Alright everyone, here is the link to the updated Hammer list effective 8/5/22. You'll notice some pretty distinct changes from last month, which I will cover below. I recently won a ~60 person RCQ, so this list is reflective of that.

Of course, make sure to adjust your mid-match decisions based on the specifics of any list you face and use this as a guideline, rather than a hard and fast rule!

After going to 2 RCQs, I noticed there was a lot more burn that there should be, a ton of 4C elementals and Glimpse combo, and a bit more Yawg than I'd expect. Additionally there was effectively no Living End.

-4 Hushbringers - It is by far my favorite hate card vs 4C, nice against Yawg, and hard-counters the Glimpse Combo deck if you keep it in play.

-1 T3f - Chalice has been picking up in the UW control and 4C shells post-board.

-0 relics/GY hate - Without Living End, the GY hate is unnecessary, as we are strong against just about every deck that we bring in Relic against.

-1 MD Skill - had to make room somewhere, so I trimmed a memnite for it.

-1 Memnite - In the prior RCQs, there had been VERY little Murktide/Ragavan present, so the Thopters felt much stronger than Memnite. You can split them however you want.

-3 Seachrome coast, 6 fetches - minimal tweak to get some extra points in the burn matchup.
