Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - The SHM Lieges
Deathbringer is still real solid in Orzhov token decks as an anthem that doubles as repeatable removal. It eats removal pretty fast, but ime not before killing at least something and adding 5-10 damage on an attack.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Copy Enchantment
I wonder if Black Market Connections, Smothering Tithe and Rhystic Study are common enough to expect one of them out to copy most games.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Kothophed, Soul Hoarder
He also signals that you're about to kill a bunch of stuff, so in more slugfesty metas, where value engines on largish bodies otherwise shine, he draws disproportionate aggression because people really don't like having their stuff killed.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Silversmote Ghoul
This guy, Witch of the Moors and Veinwitch Coven make a nice little lifegain recursion package, helped by the fact that Blood Artist effects incidentally gain life. They're all quite good in grindier aristocrats decks without a token or combo focus.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Archivist of Gondor
Saw this run away with a game in an odd Esior/Kediss fast voltron list one time. Blue generally has an excess of draw and is more willing to wait, though, so while this this isn't bad, it's niche just by virtue of opportunity cost.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Sen Triplets
As a rule "choose target opponent" is a recipe for disaster. There's also a play pattern that this and other cards that go-off by screwing with a particular opponent create, where the person playing them gets desperate to let their deck do its thing after being preemptively stopped as a t...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Nezumi Graverobber
I thought the technique of the day was to empty the yard, then use his ability on the first binned card after it was empty. . . Yep, or if you wanted to be really technical, exile their yard when they cast an instant/sorcery, then Nezumi that when it resolves. I find Doctor Who to be one of the wor...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Nezumi Graverobber
I think part of Nezumi Graverobber's fall is that games play much more efficiently than they did 10 years ago. I'm more likely to run Heap Doll or Soul-Guide Lantern as dedicated hate than something like this. I remember Tormods Crypt and Bog being used to flip him. His first side was always medioc...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
There's enough 1/1s for one with deathtouch and upside now I reckon that the archetype just needs a G/B general to scoop them all up. But yeah, I don't imagine I'll be seeing much of Tinybones in the zone himself.

Re: Was WotC's embrace of Commander a good thing?
I think this was a net negative for EDH, but a positive for MtG on the whole. The Pod/Twin bans, and Modern since, not to mention how they manage Standard, have shown that WotC will prioritize sales over format health: the independent RC is the only reason EDH has avoided rotation-by-banning. As ann...

For once I agree with Dirk. The new team seems more pragmatic and less personalistic. I hope they unban Gifts.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
Flotsam is random junk floating in the ocean, and jetsam is random junk jettisoned from boats. "Flotsam and jetsam" is thus a term for random manmade junk that washes up on the beach.

This has definitely fallen since the tuck rule change, but it's still solid. I think Farewell is the new gold standard now though.

It's amazing how much they feel like someone's custom card designs from ~2010, down to the screenshot-looking art.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Grand Master of Flowers
Yeah, I'd put this in the bad-but-playable camp. It's not worth running but if someone especially likes it for whatever reason, they're not gonna be substantially hurt by sticking it in a deck. I feel like that niche contributes substantially to the diversity of decks.
