Or, for non-game stuff, when you fart loudly at the table and then don't claim it. Like, we all know it's you, we heard you, just own that crap (...no pun intended) and we can laugh about it like we're immature middle-schoolers. The important thing is to make eye contact with a straight face while ...

I just don't see Pyre being an issue in modern. The combo decks just don't exist within a specific creature type.

I could see something with Humans being a thing, maybe.

Worth pointing out that Birthing Pod itself, to the best of my recollection, did not do terrifically well in standard

Naya Pod was one of the top 3 decks for a whole standard season. With such gems as Blade Splicer and Huntmaster of the Fells.

I also just added in Extortionist. It's just too good to pass up, frankly, so I now have a clean 2-card combo with Deadeye in the deck now. Not sure how I feel about that, but it exists. I made my deck to kinda durdle around and play long extended games, so having such a simple "I-Win" bu...

For optimality's sake probably around 80% of commander lists would be better off just running Kenrith or Golos instead of whatever commander they're currently running. Especially given how many people run high curves and not enough ramp or mana sources, or even greedy mana bases with colour problem...

Aside from that my turn ons are long walks on the beach and cuddles by the fire. Oh, uh... Hey. What's up? This has led to another of my friends responding to "But why are you targeting me?" with "Because I'm trying to win the game", which is the perfect canned response to such ...

And that's how all restaurants became Taco Bell.

I love Demolition Man.

But your point is valid. Many, many decks right now would just be better as Golos decks that still just play only their normal colours.

- Another guy can't help but whine and moan whenever anyone interacts with his board. He gets really aggressive about it and I've had to address it with him personally. This one here is a big problem in my group. One guy who consistently insists that he's always the one being targeted (which he's n...

For some reason, having Xenagos, God of Revels in a card box, or any other card name that starts with "X" is not working. The leading "X" is getting dropped, breaking the card tag.

• Xira Arien
• Xenagos, the Reveler
• Xenagos, God of Revels

I finally got around to putting Genesis Ultimatum (over Agent of Treachery ) and Terror of the Peaks (over Xenagos, God of Revels ) in here, and both have felt very solid. Agent's card draw rarely went off anyway, and the Ultimatum has a way higher ceiling. I might try to find a spot to put back Xen...

So, on Friday night I tried out a couple games with a version of this deck headed up by Golos, Tireless Pilgrim . It was still very much Bant focused. Very close to the exact same list, with just a different mana base and a couple of different cards. For example, Noble Hierarch swapped out for Death...

I mean, Jeweled Lotus is absolutely going straight into my Maelstrom Wanderer deck. I'm going to have to at least evaluate for basically every other deck I've got.

Sweet-Gum Recluse might also make it into Wanderer, acrually.

A sort of neat use for Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh could be Mutate creatures. Adds three very good keyword abilities, and is a neat way to power him up to commander damage people.

Laboratory Servant Oh look, another conditional Phyrexian Arena. I love less reliable versions of already mediocre cards! /s Worth noting that it triggers on each end step, not just yours. So while it will often be a single card a cycle, if you can reliably cast out of the graveyard/activate abilit...

Amareth, the Lustrous is sweet. It doesn't say nonland, or nontoken. There are shenanigans to be had.

I'm fully willing to admit that it's not necessarily logical or mature, but I'm definitely going to priority target anybody who uses it on my early game ramp or fetch. At that point my goal post is moved. Winning at that point just means making sure that player doesn't get to play. In a 1v1 game it ...

Agreed. It's very good obviously, but less in the context of getting everyone's tutored stuff (because if you're casting Vampiric Tutor wth this on the field you might be mentally deficient) and more in the context of just regulating the tempo of a game and making your table work for its wins. Whic...

That said, we're working off a translation, so it's quite possible there's a "nontoken" or "nonland" clause missing that might mess up the whole thing.

Those, or it could be "less than" instead of "less than or equal".

It does say "if it wasn't put onto the battlefield with this ability" so no. That doesn't matter. 1) Play bounce land , return itself, Landfall token maker triggers 2) Token maker resolves, token enters, triggering Kodama of the East Tree 3) Kodama resolves, putting bounce land back into ...

Kodama of the east tree is the one design I really don't like so far. Everything else looks fun. That card looks....ugh. Oppressive. And partner too, wtf were they thinking...

If that translation is right, it goes infinite with any bounce land + any landfall token maker, right? That's interesting.

Opposition Agent is a stupid, stupid card. Should cost 6, or have a harder cost like BBB and be a 2/1 or something. I'm already seeing a ton of people advocating for this card to be prebanned, and I understand why. Casual people are going to rage quit every game where someone drops this thing in re...

I was thinking about red cards today, for if I decided to try Omnath. I feel like the deck would basically just end up being my current list, except swapping out a few Derevi tech cards for the few red cards I actually care about and maybe an extra landfall effect or three, which would keep the mana...

Voidslime and Disallow are interchangeable imo (even though Disallow is strictly better). I have a copy of Voidslime and no spare copies of Disallow. In goes Voidslime. I can't fault the "this is the one I have lying around" logic, but personally the harder colour cost would be enough rea...
