So let me preface this with a hope that syntax is acceptable for the vote tallying. Copy/paste on mobile while I have lunch a bit annoying. Yea Bloodghast (3y-0n). Easy to recur, cheap to cast. It's only drawback is triggering landfall each turn takes some work. Yea Magma Phoenix (2y-0n). I like on ...

I really need to check this thread more often, I missed the discussion on one of my favorite cards for semi-tribal. I think that Urza's Incubator is great in decks that fit two categories: tribal and commander-centric storm. I spend a fair amount of time looking over the phoenix creatures, and there...

I would vote for that swap of Burnt Offering over Infernal Plunge , although it might not be considered ramp anymore. On the topic of ramp, I typically group cost reduction in my ramp category. If we want to keep a fixed amount of ramp, I might then have some additional proposed swaps based on a sma...

I don't usually consider Jeska's Will in the ramp category of my decks, so while it likely makes the cut, I was a bit surprised to see it in the preinclusions. I think that Arcane Signet as another 2 MV rock to hit 4 mana on turn 3 makes more sense, so I would be on board with that swap. We definite...

Honestly it's topics like the referenced thread that make me really appreciate having a moderate sized and well established group. When we're at the LGS and a new face comes in, I can run more on prior knowledge about the other players and shift energy to figuring out what they're doing. It's honest...

It's not clear to me whether we've rerolled or not at this point, so I'll just vote on the 6 non-meme options. Rank 1 is Syrix, Carrier of the Flame because phoenix aristocrats seems interesting. I guess that I don't know how large the build space is, but the themes are appealing. Rank 2 is Atemsis,...

So first thoughts are that there is not a standout best to me. My rank 1 vote goes to Eutropia the Twice-Favored as an enchantment/enchantress deck with a counters subtheme. Maybe also a negative aura subtheme like Spreading Seas ? Aggro/voltron as a strategy, I think? This would have the most brain...

I have never actually played Arcum's Astrolabe . I think of the decks so far in this series, it has made the most sense here. On the cuts/adds I do like Eternal Witness + Saw in Half and the replicas. I could be on board with cuts like Viridian Revel and Karn, the Great Creator for one of those pair...

So I would run Mycosynth Golem as a virtually free big mana artifact creature even if we didn't have other artifact creatures. We plan to have "many artifacts", so a significantly discounted big artifact is, basically, another Metalwork Colossus (although the method is different). This is ...

I see Mycosynth Golem as an enabler for the artifacts, and basically another Metalwork Colossus . I don't think that deserves to be cut. Also, I think we're at 101 cards according to the last list, so while we need a cut, it's not to add something. I propose that we cut Skyshroud Claim because we ha...

I play many decks with Selvala, Heart of the Wilds , as well as decks where power matters like Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and Ghalta, Primal Hunger . I voted 5 power for 2 because I already run Sheltering Ancient . In other decks, the other text on the card matters, specifically the creature type. I p...

So, I realized this morning that we have been talking about artifact sacrifice loops using KCI, but most of the looping cards are also creatures. Should we consider Ashnod's Altar for redundancy? I don't think that I am sold on Saw in Half outside the combo lines, unless it's doing Eternal Witness r...

Yea Abrupt Decay as efficient removal. Yea Mycosynth Golem . The only downside that I see is is we have too many artifacts to be able to spend mana and draw cards, but that's reaching. I like God-Eternal Bontu as a recurrable mass draw effect, especially with Gerrard's Hourglass Pendant . I was goin...

I think that I am the other yea on Tortured Existence , so I can't vote there. Yea Junk Diver . It's relatively low curve, simple recursion when we need it, and represents artifact loops when the other cards land. I will continue abstaining on revel, but having just checked the other community decks...

Yea Welding Jar . Easy to recur, self sacrifices for triggers and protects from removal. I'd like to be convinced on Viridian Revel , because it is entirely opponent dependent. It's extremely powerful if you know opponents are on treasure, but what are the actual odds that they are? If we expect thi...

I'm not convinced on Brallin, Skyshark Rider without discard outlets. Yes, if you enter the cleanup step with 47 cards in hand, then there isn't a priority step to remove him before the triggers try to go onto the stack and the turn rewinds to the end step to get priority for those triggers to actu...

Yea Disciple of the Vault as a artifact loop outlet and punisher effect. I didn't remember that it triggered on opposing artifacts, so that's a good call. Yea Meteor Golem as another big thing that provides extra value and overlap well with the board control. Yea on Jemolk getting another nomination...

Yea Urza's Bauble because draw is good. Yea Syndicate Trafficker as a self protecting sacrifice outlet for the cards we want to reuse. Nay Phylactery Lich . While this is a resilient body of reasonable size, it doesn't impress me. It competes with our commanders on curve and the phylactery counters ...

yay Bauble and KCI Golgari Charm is probably good enough. I prefer more open-ended removal spells, but in a pinch this can regenerate our commander when it suicides into an army to pick off a problematic creature. So, reluctant yay. I Like Conjurer's bauble but I am wondering if there is a way for ...

Yea Gerrard's Hourglass Pendant as a artifact that can salvage and also rebuild or contribute to value engine plays. Yea Mishra's Bauble because cards are good. Yea Krark-Clan Ironworks for value and combo. Abstain on Golgari Charm because I don't know how creature heavy this deck will be. -1/-1 and...

@Dunadain I was editing it in when you posted, but I think that cards like Mycosynth Golem or Semblance Anvil could make a lot of sense here. I was going to nominate the golem after the salvaging station package is done.

Yea Strionic Resonator , we.have a couple big triggered abilities to copy. Yea Ugin, the Ineffable , we want to spend less on big spells. A strong yea on Perilous Myr , as a combo card. If it costs 2 less (free) and we're already looping artifact creatures, then the myr represents an infinite direct...

Yea on Marionette Master , as both ways to add to Armix and a potential combo outlet. Yea Glissa, the Traitor , as solid recursion and destruction loops. Yea Executioner's Capsule as another way to clear 80% of the creatures. Yea on Trading Post , becuase those bottom two abilities are enough to con...

To make use of Salvaging Station , I imagine a 5-10 card package of baubles. Ideally at least 5 that draw cards either as primary purpose like Brainstone or secondary like Nihil Spellbomb , Soul-Guide Lantern or Horizon Spellbomb . From there we can look at removal with Executioner's Capsule or Univ...

Big obvious yay to Reanimate. Barely needs discussing. Just one nomination a day? Come ooooooooooon! The pace...it is glacial! Big obvious yay to Reanimate. Barely needs discussing. Just one nomination a day? Come ooooooooooon! The pace...it is glacial! For some reason I thought there was going to ...
