I can't remember if this is a card we've ever presented for discussion here, there's been so many; what do you guys think of Pyre of Heroes ? Slow tribal pod, I've been mulling it over purely because a lot of our key pieces, the aristocrats, draw creatures and such could absolutely be podded into w...

Yeah it's not terrible. Grave crawler has definitely scared them off, but it's better than a lot of historical one drop zombies.

Yeah, Grim Servant seems cracked here. Grim Tutor on a body is wildly good for us, and it's honestly wild that this card is an uncommon. I'll definitely be picking a copy up, and it's nice to know that when I do, if I choose to get a sweet retro foil or whatever it'll cost peanuts. For me, I think ...

This deck would play four or five copies of phyrexian altar if it could so I think the cut is probably something else :D Yeah, good call :) I'm thinking probably Tidehollow currently, purely because it's use case is very limited, but we'll see - with DFC lands and allied fetches the landbase could ...

I finally saw a Cybertruck out in the wild, and it is way dumber looking in person. My daughter: "why is it made of triangles?"

The more I hear about them the more hilarious I think they are. The fact that they can't manage a car wash without risk of corrosion pleases me endlessly.

I'd say Marchesa, Dealer of Death would be a good choice. A very control commander, which seems down your avenue. And, as darren mentioned, there is value in cooking your chosen line into that build. Crime is a ludicrously easy trigger to hit in grixis commander, most of the control you cast will ta...

Hey @toctheyounger Re: Chthonian Nightmare. Hear me out - would you want to have an animate dead with buyback: sacrifice a creature? If not, that's cool. I want that though! Oh don't get me wrong, I definitely want to try it. I think it'll do well, even from the perspective of returning to hand, th...

yeti1069 for what its worth Liliana, Untouched by Death has been reprinted enough to not be expensive anymore. I think the potential of a budget build is there, but there are going to be issues with landbases. Empty the Laboratory seems a good way to make sure you're hitting the creatures you need,...

Huh, I had only thought of it in relation to Tymna/Dargo where it isn't quite there. Here, it's cracked in flippin' half. The zombie apocalypse is inevitable!

there's too many options for there to ever be anything close to a "standard" list. Agreed, that's what makes this deck a blast, it's not solved. Did you ever get your Borne Upon a Wind line going? I actually think it could be an interesting add on its own, card is kind of cracked in the r...

Yeah champion of the perished had to go for putrid imp, maybe I get rid of putrid ghast or whatever is name since I dont run Liliana. Bolas will have to go for CI I think, though I still think Varina is a good way to clear the top. Maybe I will add it again, playing next week again and giving the d...

Yeah I would think that Citadel is a good cut if you're looking to make more cuts. We don't really have a good way to clear the top to keep rolling with it ( Necropotence would help but it's a nonbo with most of what we're doing), we don't have a good way to avoid hardcasting it, and honestly we sor...

Can I cut Archive for Reconnaissance? Yeah the lifegain and draw seems nice, but 5 mana is a lot to ask since I'm not running much ramp outside of Sol Ring/Nykthos/agadeem. Terferi Insight and Kindred Discovery both appear as better options I am already running. On top of Skullclamp and all the dra...

Yeah I'm, personally not interested in the surveil lands here. Surveil IS good, but not at that cost. Late game I don't care about the surveil, as I can loot just fine, and early game an untapped land is far, far preferable to me than a single surveil trigger. I'm just not interested at all. I think...

But it's important to remember Varina's trigger never gives you more than it takes Minor quibble but for me anyway I am usually pretty close to parity with any Varina trigger; some cards are significantly better in the bin, and some cards are fine in the bin. I've won games blasting for 10 with Var...

Generally I will attack with everything if the situation allows. The exclusions to that are when combat math isn't favourable and I risk stalling with an empty board, or I'm looting for bigger than my hand size. Sometimes that's totally fine, you wanna wheel your hand and start again, sure. But it's...

I see thanks. Mike does help though I assume. I thought more along the line of a combo with plague belcher. I think I will give the New geralt a try as well instead of a lord. Almost like a diregraf colossus and cathars crusade on the same card. Basically the gameplan is casting cheap zombies, get ...

Yeah, I think it would take a bit of a push to play the Trap here. Or like, a pretty specific meta. Personally, I think if you're after a very definitive counterspell that answers most things, you're probably best with something like Flusterstorm or Summary Dismissal . The latter is expensive to cas...

Based on only my surface level understanding of Borderlands isn't this whole set just that? Basically, yes. The only thing that's missing is the sirens. Malcolm, the Eyes :rofl: Ha, touche! But yeah, no, the story is basically borderlands but without the dick jokes, psycho hillbillies and gore. Got...

@toctheyounger Yeah, there are a lot of filmmaking elements that (to my uncultured eye) seemed to be very well done, but without a connection to the story or the characters, meh. As far as the plot, I really don't find myself engaged by movies that don't have a core conflict. Sure, you want her to ...

New Geralf is a combo enabler with plenty of aggro upside at 3cmc. It has value without the presence of a combo. If necroduality were 3cmc would you consider it? That's kind of how I see this new tool. Its def not a zombie though. Doesnt trigger Varina. Awkward, but powerul card. I might try it out...

I actually think it could get pretty gross. I don't like that it's not on tribe, but it's gonna make our guys enormous, and it's pretty easy to use it to vomit out an army with. Will it make it to the list? I don't know. Does it combo? Not outside of some convoluted altar of dementia reanimation lo...
