Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Urza's Ruinous Blast

Not killing enemy commanders is enough to make this card sound bad to me.

Re: Lazav, the Multifarious | Graveyard Shapeshifting Voltron

@Toshi
I played against a bunch of precons with cards that I ignored. Vashta Nerada seems pretty perfect. Protection, growth and evasion in one little package. Also, I'm jamming Psychic Frog in here. I haven't gotten any games in with this recently to report though.

Re: Esika - Worst Mana Curve Ever

It's always hard to classify decks like this. It kinda reminds me of one turn slower xenagos (though it's similar to the speed of my zen build) It's a midrange burn deck. You can't tell by glancing at it but it's a burn deck. There's come cute synergies to dump a pile of creatures into play but tha...

Re: Esika - Worst Mana Curve Ever

Another bumpy bump. Played several games this past weekend. Conspiracy Unraveler is basically a 7mana Omniscience . Hit someone for 30 with a Palantír of Orthanc trigger which was hilarious. Just added a bunch of the modern horizon 3 flip lands. This deck really wants to hit GG on turn 3 so I don't ...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread

I'm quite sad. I just cut Kaboom! from my high CMC list. I'm just running too many of the new mh3 lands that're 3-5 mana to maximize mill 1 for value like Mindshrieker / Keen Duelist . As such I think Kaboom!'s hits have been diluted enough it isn't worth running. This saddens me greatly because it ...

WHY! Of all the ways to gain life and we're still playing a lucky charm adjacent effects. In 2024 no less. I wonder how much they spent on this and I hope it was precisely $0 because for anything more they could have used this and still had a stronger deck just by virtue of playing real cards with ...

Re: How many layers of sleeves do you use?

I have my entire 560 card cube that's 100% proxies double sleeved. It's not because of value protection anymore. I definitely got into double sleeving when I was younger because of advertising and my general LGS culture. Now that I have so many sleeves I might as well use them. I also find sleeving ...

Re: The Murder-pact Conundrum

When you sit down to a 4p game, is it optimal to make a pact with 2 other players to commit to killing the fourth player? In a vacuum, you're more likely to win a 3P game than a 4P game, right? For obvious reasons, I don't want this to be a good strategy. But it's hard to poke a good hole into. Her...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Howling Mine

I find these to be surprisingly playable. Sometimes you just want your opponents to hit landdrops and have an actual game too, you know? In before the inevitable @DirkGently in depth dissection about how these are almost strictly worse than any other card draw engine.

Elven Chorus gives even your non-changelings the mana ability, and provides some card advantage, but without the bodies.
Elven Chorus doesn't allow me to say an additional creature type whenever I cast a Changeling / when a changeling is on the battlefield so it's unplayable here.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

In other news, Path of Annihilation seems bonkers in my Changeling deck. Not excited for how pushed this set is. Omo, Queen of Vesuva deck hasn't been previewed yet right? I'm going to get slammed with playables from that I assume.

Re: 30+ Creature Type Changeling Tribal

Path of Annihilation seems really good. Turning changelings into Birds of Paradise is one of the best abilities early game. Slapping that ability on an enchantment is great and it comes with two bodies? Sign me up. Also, it randomly gains a little life off The Ur-Dragon / Morophon, the Boundless wh...

@darrenhabib I'm having trouble thinking of what cards Mami should have to represent episodes 1&2. Did you have any ideas? I was thinking maybe Mentor of the Meek and Kogla, the Titan Ape because she is a mentor figure and does a lot of fighting. But, I feel like I can do better at the same time.

Re: Diminishing returns on "better" cards

To be fair, without a large amount of tutors your deck is going to play fairly different from game to game. Feeling the impact of one card change to another is going to be somewhat rare since your deck is so large unless the card improvement is massive.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Cosima, God of the Voyage

With a few exceptions, I think you could treat them as two separate cards and just pick the one you want to play as your commander and ignore the other. Definitely true of Cosima. You could build around the front side and then you'd simply ignore the back side during play. Or you could build around...

I hate the design of basically all the Kaldheim gods. In theory they sound cool. In practice, they all feel like I have to read two books before the game even starts. Then, I have to guess which book is actually relevant. None of them feel worth the effort it takes to read them. I get exhausted just...
