Re: Let's Brew Thalia and The Gitrog Monster: Man I Love Frogs

I always liked Corpse Knight to eek out some life gain if you can loop enough stuff. If there are going to be a lot of tokens, this can help get past a lot of defenses.

Re: Should banned as commander come back?

I voted no. The reasoning behind this is that as the game goes on, things like "hidden commanders" can just be tutored up or drawn up and it, in most cases, wouldn't really matter. I've been in games where the face commander was there doing things and I was on the winning side of a battle...

As someone who sold theirs and hates the card in general, this is the happiest moment of my day so far. Hell yes! Burn in the nine hells Hullbreacher! The problem with Hullbreahcer was always multifaceted. It was an instant speed response to anyone daring to draw extra cards, stayed as a static effe...

Re: Which Planar Factions Do You Identify With? [Guilds, Wedges, etc.]

RAVNICA Easily the RW Boros Legion. When I was younger my first cards included an Angel of Mercy and Shock , and when Boros came around later, it gave me a place to put my aggression to use for a cause. Nowadays it represents protection for those who need it now and communal respect towards the pop...

Veyran interaction with Aetherflux

Does Veyran, Voice of Duality interact with Aetherflux Reservoir ? The creature only mentions instants or sorceries, but then mentions if it triggers a permanent. Aetherflux triggers on spells in general. I'm fairly certain that this interaction works, but I wanted to get other points of view on the...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

New cards for the Silverquill deck are up. I have to say I'm a little disappointed with the reprint includes. Really couldn't have put a Ophiomancer into the deck, huh wizards? Michiko Konda, Truth Seeker ? Zetalpa, Primal Dawn is not the card we needed in here... again. Over all I think some of the...

Re: Rootha, what's your take?

I was just making up something about her. I feel like abusing her with a replaying her aspect is a good way to go. Baral's Expertise , Electrodominance , even Flood of Tears could be interesting (though that's some hoops there). If you can get enough mana going with some of these kinds of effects, y...

UBRG Commander

Since I built a Yidris deck that was mostly playing other people decks via copying their things, stealing them, or cloning permanents, I've wanted a UBRG commander that can do that. I don't like Yidris as the head of the deck, and I don't like any of the partners for it either. So I wanted to make o...

Stoic Farmer is nice if you don't have something better, but I'll agree it doesn't compare if you do have the others like Kor Cartographer . Tales of the Ancestors should have been White. This could be a white thing to do. It evens the odds, like White wants to do. Sandstone Oracle does something s...

something, being jerks (is Jarad actually dead/redead? I never found anything the really confirms it). Killed by Vraska leading up to WotS. And yeah, I think it's pretty unlikely that Kaya's Onslaught indicates Vorinclex's actual demise. I only saw her say she did it. I don't think there was a pass...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Kaya's Onslaught - So I assume that means Kaya has killed Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider and the Ghost Council of Orzhova (Kaya's Wrath)? That's... super lame. I have a massive distaste for how planewalkers just stroll around and murderize super powerful and interesting beings across the multiverse. A...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Svella, Ice Shaper Seems like a nice open ended commander for RG, and I like it. There hasn't been too many recently that aren't smashy-stomp-omp. This one could be Spellslinger, Stompy, Walkers?, Artifacts, whatever as long as it's big. Worldly Tutor going up again I'd wager.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Phyrexian Arena is not what it once was. I think this will get some uptake in card-starved W and Boros decks, but the other colors can just get this cheaper and more reliably. For sure, but I think it has it's uses. Something like Regna/Krav or Karlov of the Ghost Council might use it, or anything ...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Cosmos Elixir Seems like a good static card, though I wish it cost 3 W instead of 4. Could be decent draw if you play life gain, but this will most likely fine a home in xWB decks as something cheaper than other stuff like Phyrexian Arena.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Colossal Plow is a kind of exciting card, for White specifically. I wonder how this works mechanically for White in its part of the pie. This seems sorta generic minus the attacking part. Still, glad to see new space in White being explored. Edit: I was going to comment on how White is supposed to ...

Yeah Jorn looks very interesting. I really like that he's 3 colors but still easily castable on both sides. And not broken. I like that he has to risk himself in an attack, and the back side is good with a small drawback (because of etbs and such) and isn't more "get stuff for breathing" ...

I for one like the new Firja over Liesa (there, I said it). It's much less common Orzhov poop and isn't easy to build around. To me it seems to scream a low end aggressive deck with reanimation like Immortal Servitude or Agadeem Awakening. Add some soul sisters and some anthems or maybe Skulk or Dea...
