Big Combrei had been fallen out of favor for a long time but now it is finally back in full strength. I have been rocking a 65-70% winrate with it over the last week or so when testing it. You can find the full deck tech video series here:

The ShiftstonedEternal Power Calculator is a deck-building tool that visualizes your odds of drawing enough Influence and Power based specifically on the cards found in your deck.
I've dropped the Protect for Stand Together now that they cost so similar and boy...nothing feels better than watching your opponent Harsh Rule and your guys just say 'Nah'
Just wanted to say thanks for the deck! Been a long time subscriber and a fan of your content. This deck is really strong right now...got me to Masters after a long struggle to get out of D2 with a 14-2 record!
Played big combrei to masters quite a few times back when it was popular, but couldn't figure out how to get worldbearer into the list and make the fast enough for this meta. This list does both. Never would have thought to cut harsh rule but after jamming some games it makes a lot of sense.
Thanks glad you enjoy it :)
I since cut a green waystone for a sigil a time sigil for a seal and the carnosaurs for 2 scribes to make it smoother, less clunky and more consistent. since i mostly lose to being stuck on 2-3 power and having clunky hands. can't really play more actual power but scribe is a good compromise. and yeah i wouldnt even run rule int he sideboard.
The deck simply doesnt need stand together maindeck. it is very clunky and much worse than the cards u cut for it. but sure the deck wills till mostly functiont he same and wont perform much worse in the end.
Hey ManuS, was wondering on your thoughts on Protect vs. Stand Together after the recent Protect nerf. I know it's a little clunky, but for only one more (now), you get to buff your team, and the whole team gets Aegis. Very interesting decision to cut the Scribe's as well, I haven't had time to check out the deck tech video, but I'm curious to hear what you say about that.
Also, do you think that Vodacombo is a viable deck now? I know it's much less reliable than this list, but as a Magic player I like to try to combo off as much as I can.
I'll have to try out the Carnasour's, I run Reality Warden on top of the other 5-drops you play, but no Carnosaurs. The removal would certainly help sometimes. Thanks for the content man!
I would probably run 2 Stand now and 0 protect but not sure. And I cut carnos and marshals for 4 scribes to make the deck smoother and more consistent. Might fit carnos in again to make up for the tempo from protect that we lose. I might run 0 stand 0 protect and just 4 scribe and 3 carnos and see how that goes. i think warden is terrible. marshal and behemoth are both better 5 cost cards and carnosaur also does more even tho it costs 6. i might not even want warden int he board but there it might be ok.
barely any experience with vodacombo but from the little I have i am not impressed. how u ever gonna beat gunslingers for example with a slower more fragile and lategame oriented combrei deck? There is a lot of ways to try and built it tho so ud have to try for yourselves I have not much clue about it cause i never thought ti is promising enough to try and figure it out. maybe try Tatsumakis Team League list from yesterday for starters. Cheers
Well, time to whip out the ol' vodacombo and start out greeding the new flavor of the week. /s
Good stuff manu, felt so lonely never running into other combrei players.
