Re: Zedruu the Greatest of All Time
I think The Locust God + Taii Wakeen, Perfect Shot + Outpost Siege goes infinite assuming you have 2 1-toughness creatures when you trigger outpost siege. [top of stack - first to resolve] "Outpost Siege damage targeting insect A" [bottom of stack] When insect A dies, you get an Outpost S...

Re: Zedruu the Greatest of All Time
Alright brain trust, I need a sanity check. Does this go infinite: The Locust God + Taii Wakeen, Perfect Shot + Outpost Siege I'm fairly confident Pandemonium is getting replaced long term, which opens up a lot of cards I've never been allowed to play because of Pandemonium + Swans of Bryn Argoll , ...

Re: Zedruu the Greatest of All Time
Taii Wakeen, Perfect Shot is a tough card to analyze. I do a fair amount of noncombat damage in here (especially in version with Nin, the Pain Artist and/or Brash Taunter), but I can't even guess know what that amounts to without trying it.

Re: SCD: Humble Defector
You assess that the current power level based on available information for the players is such that the dealmade players are each now less threatening than the player who didn't participate in the deal. Who do you target? If it's the dealmaking players, then aren't you misplaying? And if it's the n...

Re: SCD: Humble Defector
Do you keep targeting them, even though the scales are now equal? Okay, let's say you do that - you've gotta target someone if you want to win, usually, might as well be them. Okay, so you do that for a second and now they're at 24% and player D is now at 27% because you haven't been targeting him....

Re: SCD: Humble Defector
If the degree to which you increase your threat assessment against dealmakers is proportional to the advantage those players get from said dealmaking, then wouldn't that dealmaking, at worst, equal out and be strategically neutral? Not if it's a 4 player game, and you put 2 players on notice every ...

Re: SCD: Humble Defector
I feel like your position has shifted from "I logically threat assess dealmaking players as being bigger threats and thus target them more frequently" into "I dislike dealmaking because I don't like the play experience it creates, and so I'm socially engineering my meta against dealm...

Re: SCD: Humble Defector
I don't think it's a huge factor in most games though. And in my experience, while certainly I've played against people who refuse to make any deals, the vast majority of players are at least willing to do some dealmaking. So I feel like you'll be targeting most people...which kinda just means you'...

Re: SCD: Humble Defector
I don't think "being on the record for selling out the table" counts for anything whatsoever. There is distinct strategic value in eliminating players who would collude. When a table becomes 2v1v1 instead of a free-for-all, it is almost never going to be correct for the ones to target eac...

-When people are playing at typical-commander-player level (i.e. pretty bad) defector is an element of chaos (at best) or accelerationist stupidity (at worst). Bad gameplay experience.

This thread is kind of amazing, DirkGently . Humble Defector is everything you think politics is, and it's precisely the sort of politicking I hate, and yet here we are.

Re: Zedruu the Greatest of All Time
Think Struggle for Project Purity will be replacing Font of Mythos ? Not for me. A lot of the games I get to play are 1v1, probably like 1/3 of the time. And then some games are 3 people, more than 4 is super rare, and the card will do less if opponents die. So for me, I'd expect that to average ou...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Fumiko the Lowblood
Fumiko is a niche effect, as you want it in a deck that both wants the table to go aggro and also can keep the attacks away from itself,but when you have that kind of deck, this in the conversation for the best effect of its kind (I'm also an Angel's Trumpet fan).

I'm pretty shameless buying singles for Zedruu. Otherwise, a couple bucks is about right, and I'd rather trade whenever possible.

I really like Heroic Intervention as a card. Stuff that rattlesnakes sweeper decks (turning their sweeper into a wincon for you) are a really fun play pattern overall.
