And here we go again, referencing things without context...
I’m generally cool on new creatures entering the Vintage arena since, by themselves, they’re often too slow to impact the format (with apologies to Vintage Champ Joel Lim and his merfolk). Even now, opening with Nemesis’s seven-turn clock and no disruption won’t usually cut it. However, working Nemesis into aggro-control decks like BUG (with Dark Confidant, Abrupt Decay, and Counters) or RUG (with Gushes, Lightning Bolts, and Counters), perhaps in place of one or more Vendilion Cliques or Tarmogoyfs, could be a recipe for success.
This is the statement he made in his
last article in regards to true-name nemesis.
Let us not repeat past mistakes, and instead congratulate Nat on another excellent article fit both for new and veteran players of the format.
