Really fantastic write-up for anyone interested in Timeless!
Hey everyone! I’m really excited to bring you my very first Timeless tier list since I’ve been absolutely loving the format and playing a ton since its release.
I do want to preface this by saying that even though the format has been around for a few weeks at this point, data is still relatively scarce so this tier list will be slightly more subjective than usual because of that. I’ve looked at as much data as possible as well as gone through a ton of lists from the community that people have been doing well with, combined with my personal experience of the format too.
There will also be some archetypes not included here if refined versions have yet to emerge (for example Tainted Pact + Thassa’s Oracle is an archetype that has a lot of potential but I haven’t been able to arrive at a refined version I’m happy with and I haven’t found versions online that look fully refined either yet), so I don’t feel I can correctly assess the power level of these decks until more optimal versions have been found, but I will be updating this list once they have and as more decks and archetypes emerge.
Timeless looks really cool but needing wildcards for fetchlands on top of the bonus sheet cards is rough. And even then I’m lucky that I already crafted a good amount of the banned cards
Yeah rare wildcards for common staples like Bolt, Counterspell, and Swords really really feels bad.
FWIW though Timeless is the first format on Arena that makes we want to spend wild cards so I’m hopeful for it.
Damn, dude, those are considered rare? That’s a hell of a bummer
