Smuggler's Copter's new home will most likely be Frontier. It also adds another powerful evasive attacker to the deck, allowing a pilot to keep their Magus of the Moon or Sin Prodder's while still pushing through damage.Īs of yet, the idea of Smuggler's Copter being included in Dragon Stompy hasn't quite caught on, but it definitely has a lot of potential and will probably be further explored in the future. The vehicle provides some much needed card advantage to keep up with all of the brainstorm decks that are played.
When Smuggler's Copter first came out, there was talk of playing it in some lists. The Dragon Stompy deck has been a longtime contender in Legacy's meta game, seeing multiple evolutions of its list during its lengthy history. While Frontier is still a fairly fringe, unestablished format, it's definitely gaining substantial traction and is slowly instituting itself under the weight of Standard and Modern.īefore we dive into the card's usefulness in Frontier, let's look at how it could be played in Legacy: Dragon Stompy Other Spells4 Blood Moon 4 Chalice of the Void 4 Chandra, Torch of Defiance 4 Chrome Mox 3 Fiery ConfluenceLands11 Mountain4 Ancient Tomb4 City of TraitorsCreatures4 Goblin Rabblemaster 4 Magus of the Moon 3 Shaman of the Great Hunt 4 Simian Spirit Guide1 Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker 4 Sin Prodder 2 Thunderbreak RegentSideboard3 Ensnaring Bridge 4 Firebolt 4 Leyline of the Void 4 Sulfur Elemental (0) But format the little vehicle seems to be making the most impact in is Frontier. Surprisingly, Smuggler's Copter has yet to see almost any play in Modern however, it's been particularly experimented with in Legacy Dragon Stompy.
With Standard completely out of the picture for the Heavily Played card, what will happen to it now? Are there any formats that might make the (albeit short-lived) king of Standard rise up once again? While for many, the banning of Emrakul, the Promised End was quite welcome, the restriction Smuggler's Copter wasn't exactly the same case. The recent Standard bannings have sent waves of controversy through the community. What will happen to Smuggler's Copter now? Will one of the most important Standard cards in recent history find a new place to be played?
