Once again, one of those minuscule swaps. Cutting even more mana value while increasing combo opportunities is exactly how i picture regular updates to my list. + 1 Bovine Intervention - Though it might only destroy, it hits the two most relevant types at a sleek rate + 1 Nurturing Pixie - No surpri...

Isildur's Fateful Strike Perfect fit in my Nashi, Moon's Legacy legendary tribal deck... but i can hardly see it outside of that and LotR block constructed. It requires you to have a legendary creature or planeswalker first, costs 4 mana, doesn't exile and the exile to 4 cards in hand clause could ...

The inevitable Nameless Inversion each turn... man, feels like that was centuries ago...

sol ring|sum To keep it short: It's a mistake that it is the poster child of the format - and the format would've been of without it legal and in every damn precon. There's a gentleman's agreement in my group of friends as not to play it below certain power levels. We all got fed up by Sol Ring sta...

The moment all Art is AI generated and all cards are "thought" of by some ChatGPT style AI, is the moment i am quitting MTG for good.

Sliver Queen is still the coolest 5c sliver because all the other ones are just copiers of her coolness.

*raps* All the other Sliv Shadys are just imitating

I've been following this deck for a while. Good to see you're still keeping up with it! You wouldn't know how happy i am to read that! :) Every few months i'm considering yet another rewrite, but i just can't find the time, unfortunately. But the overall tech is there and i keep the decklist up to ...

[sym=creature] Creatures [sym=1] [sym=w] [sym=w] Aven Interrupter - Clearly depends on your meta, but generally speaking this a seriously strong card. [sym=2] [sym=w] Claim Jumper - Since this doesn't limit itself to basics it should be real good in mid-powered metas. In top-notch builds Knight of ...

I'm more confused how ya'll can recognize cards by their arts,

I spend waaaaay too much time on scryfall, my friend.

https://i.imgur.com/qLPbP4N.png https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C4N3zJhWQAAg9Xo?format=jpg&name=small - How is Krenko, Mob Boss built that he's just mid in a Meta where Patron of the Orochi is top tier!? - How do you get Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder and Mayael the Anima to upper tier levels? - How do...

Molten Duplication, baby!

What's the loop? I don't see it.

Maybe i should write a primer about that...

As many things, he easily loops with Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle, which is something, i guess.

Hoverstone Pilgrim has been great so far - getting its effect for a mere 2 mana in Tomb Trawler is absurd!
I love them with Priest of Gix/Priest of Urabrask and a free sac outlet.

What do people think? Am I missing something? Pip-Boy 3000 I've asked myself the same thing - and i don't see it either. Sure, it doesn't require you to connect, but i would still prefer Mask of Memory and Bear Umbra . Untapping "just" two lands would mean they better be top notch lands.....

Verdant Command Sure, Return to Nature is more fail-safe, but if you can make use of the gy exile or pw silver bullet regularily enough, it is super cool. I've been running it in Gallia of the Endless Dance for a while now, mostly for the tokens. But sure enough the other modes have come in handy m...

Aether Rift It's not necessarily a bad card, though it is rather slow and i'm wondering which commander could utilize it best, since madness, reanimator etc are not usually in Gruul+ colors. It could be fun in Gyrus, Waker of Corpses or Henzie "Toolbox" Torre , if you're not looking for h...

Rowan, Scion of War says hi!

Great card in high powered pods, gets considerably worse once big timmy creatures hit the field.

I kinda want to play an aggro deck. A true low curve smash face kind of deck. I've had great fun with Gallia of the Endless Dance ! She's super fast as a token commander, comes with whacky CA and is a rare sight at tables, which is also a big plus in my book. My list is not even super thought throu...

[sym=creature] Creatures [sym=2] [sym=w] Brotherhood Outcast - In certain builds this could be great. As for mine, Skullclamp isn't enough to run it. [sym=artifact] Artifacts [sym=2] [sym=w] Pre-War Formalwear - There are convoluted loops with Krark-Clan Ironworks + Phyrexian Altar + Junk Diver / M...

Brutal Expulsion Would i keep 4 mana open for Scorchmark + Unsubstantiate rather than just run Unsubstantiate itself? Likely not. At least i always liked the Devoid cards and the frame was real pretty, especially in foil! I have a fond memory of a friend frying Iona, Shield of Emeria with Oblivion ...

I wouldn't necessarily compare Counterspell to Mana Drain , Force of Will and the likes, as most metas don't really need that type of power or rarely see anyone splashing that much money. Among cheap-ish Counterspell s, it is to day a reliable piece of interaction, if double blue pips isn't much of ...

I have yet to see a deck where that edge case justifies playing them, but it does exist.

The Council of Four says hi!

If you ask me Humble Defector adds a similar dynamic to the game as Monarch does. Once in play, you will see players haggling for deals, "spreading" CA to battle the person in front et al. What makes it considerably stronger is, that you get 2 cards and don't have to wait for your end step...

Man, Raul, Trouble Shooter and Wild Wasteland are absolute slam dunks for Nashi, Moon's Legacy and Nassari, Dean of Expression respectively!

Struggle for Project Purity looks wild if you choose "Brotherhood" - which you propably should.
