Here, have a small rant.

I like Breakneck Rider. Good cost, good indirect removal, fullfills werewolf objectives.

He usually does me good. Then along comes a Runaway Carriage (or Avacyn just now), and there goes my whole team.

Irksome.

where is the rant?

it’s a small one. maybe more of a small annoyance.

well for breackneck’s defense .. the avacyn would have killed you whole team even without berserk.

One time I bounced(gone missing) it myself to avoid the berserk.
Another time I replace him with himself(untrasformed) for the same reason.

Yes it overall annoying to face an rc when you have it in play but there are solutions icon_e_wink.gif

I agree, rc is in almost every event deck and the whole game at the moment seems to revolve around it. Sick looking at it.

Oh, i usually find ways to answer the situation. and i don’t mind as much in events. but when i’m farming in QB, it’s just a waste of time…

Every time I see RC it’s clear the player feels the need to exploit the heck out of that card before it’s nerfed… instead of, you know, attempting to design a good deck instead.

An RC deck is a good deck.

It has few weaknesses and the space to stock tons of answers.

But it’s telling how outclassed it really is by looking at the platinum tier games. It almost never appears anymore in the current meta.

What made it so bad was unleashing it on a population that didn’t have the answers. Mono red were dead. Anyone without their respective color’s mass removal were dead. It being an uncommon ensured more people had access to the card than the people who held the answers.

RC does exactly what it says on the tin. There’s no exploitation here.

Skyraker Giant disagrees.

Is Skyraker Giant good? Life outside of Platinum Tier must look very different if it is.

Skyraker Giant was a mono red answer to RC that most of the population would have access to. Is it good overall? No. I was merely throwing cold water on a blanket statement about mono red being screwed with RC.

Skywalker giant is hard countered by the rogue passage in every self respecting RC deck.

And there are plenty of easy support removals.

Honestly running Skyraker Giant in Platinum to counter Runaway Carriage will drop your deck’s power level so much that you’re likely to lose more matches to non-Carriage decks than you get to win against Carriage decks from having your Skyraker being there to block Runaway Carriage assuming it isn’t 1) unblockable, 2) given First Strike, and 3) grown/boosted to too big a size for Skyraker to kill.

Skyraker Giant is not a solution for Runaway Carriage in the Platinum tier.

Of course it isn’t and I never suggested it was. People in the Platinum tier have better counters and the cry over RC is not coming from Platinum.
