I had earth chaos ark and refia control right out the gate in my first two games and then I ran into chaos ark twice more. From my lens at Chicago, chaos ark felt to be the meta call against a surge of 4-color good stuff lists. I found it to be a rather large portion of the room. Whatever you play should have an answer to it and to the 4-color good stuff. Can you deal with at least 3 refia and her handful of revivals? Anything with consistent removal on top of some breakzone hate or rfg options while staying low on colors or having access to ability cancellation (for chaos) should do well.
Nice! What was your overall experience in Chicago? How’d you end up? I agree, dealing with Refia over and over needs to be something you’re prepared for. Or just running over them before they can revive her. Mono Earth checking a lot of boxes right now! 🤔 ~Ryan
@@TheStackFFTCG I did okay! Was my first ever tournament, so I did 3-5 with a soul crushing throw on my 4th game. Overall experience was incredible and the community is awesome. I love mono earth, and the only thing it needs in the matchup is to keep up in removal because otherwise you really get outpaced. Needing to remove a refia every turn can get expensive and then you lose the tempo game.
