Yes, you do currently need the "onto Instant or Sorcery" as the rules aren't written with a default in mind. So you need to be specific about the constraints. The only thing would be increasing the cost reads a little weird but ultimately is probably fine. You can probably just say "p...

Exert cares about "your" untap step where "you" are the person Exerting it. So, if you Exert it and Donate it, it will untap during their untap step as normal since that isn't your untap step. However, if they Donate it back, assuming your next untap step has not yet occurred, it...

In Karador, Ghost Chieftain if you're running sacrifice outlets it seems fantastic honestly, but it depends on how many creature vs. non-creature enablers you're running I'd be inclined pretty strongly to be a Viscera Seer heavy build myself where I'd just sac my board and junk everything except gr...

One topic of note is - I am not sure cyclonic rift is good enough anymore. It's nuts. These days if I don't kill someone right after resolving it I might as well have just not played it. People recover so fast and often you give up value. I'm thinking about swapping it for Devastating Mastery. Here...

I have been grinding a few games with this deck with the changes above and have been having good and bad games. I played 2 or 3 yesterday where I ended up losing all of them to different combos. One was basically on turn 5 which, while not the fastest, was too fast for me to do much with. Because th...

I have decided to try out these following changes: CUTS 1 Goblin Bombardment 1 Reckless Fireweaver 1 Keeper of the Accord 1 Etali, Primal Storm 1 Plargg and Nassari ADDS 1 Sun Titan 1 Sevinne's Reclamation 1 Mizzix's Mastery 1 Invoke Calamity 1 Reconstruct History I left Impact Tremors in but I don'...

I made the following changes and tried out another game: CUTS 1 Idol of Oblivion 1 Stoic Farmer ADDS 1 Glimpse of Tomorrow 1 Lotus Bloom I chose to make these changes based on the conversation above and cutting Idol was mainly because there is a lot of impulse draw so I am hoping that is enough to k...

If I find room for it later, I can possibly slot Lotus Bloom back in to see what happens. I still think I have had too many situations with Mox Tantalite and Sol Talisman being stuck in exile that Bloom might be similar. But I am willing to give it more of a chance. Glimpse of Tomorrow seems like fu...

I just played another game with this deck online and it went pretty well, even if I did misplay at a significant point. The punt didn't cost me the game but it could have. I was playing against Sythis, Harvest's Hand , Krenko, Mob Boss , and Halana, Kessig Ranger & Alena, Kessig Trapper partners...

So, this deck came about thanks to a brief interaction in the Off-Topic thread with TheAmericanSpirit . I mentioned my inability to come up with a Boros deck that I actually liked playing or one that seemed interesting and he pointed me towards Pia Nalaar, Consul of Revivial. What struck me about th...

Regarding Sorin and Peer: I tend to agree but I also find that there are times when going after a single player is necessary. I admit that it is not something I tend to do, which is why Sorin is not in any of my decks, but my experience last night suggests these may be relevant. The mono-green playe...

I am not sure where I land with something like Temporal Extortion. I agree that it makes sense here (at least here more than most) but even then I am still low on extra turn spells in general. Of course, this is only one extra turn spell and it is tough to get back so just having that as an option t...

As for preferred colors, I think I lean towards blue and then black overall. I don't have a good hierarchy for the color combos though as I do tend to try to find interesting commanders in color combinations I don't have yet. I will say that Red tends to the least prevalent in my builds and I reall...

Simic is my least favored combination personally. It's unfettered access to everything it could ever want leads me to boredom frankly. I've never had a Temur deck, nor Sultai; the latter I would like to try but can't find a commander that speaks to me. I came close to pulling the trigger or Tevesh ...

That is true that online is certainly going to play a bit differently in regards to certain things but Jar is certainly going to be better there in most situations. But the biggest thing, either way, is what you pointed out: hopefully I have enough mana production that I can use the bulk of the new ...

ISBPathfinder I did think of Dark Deal but left it out for now based on my reservations with Puzzle Box itself. If I find Puzzle Box performing admirably I will likely revisit Dark Deal as a secondary, one-shot option. It is certainly a good call out. Hmm, I hadn't looked at Pestilence effects. I c...

I seem to be on quite the deckbuilding kick lately and this is my newest endeavor. I can't say this will survive for long but it gets me back to a mono-color deck which I have 0 of right now (I put together Daretti, Scrap Savant online but never did it in paper so I am not counting it at the moment)...

I have decided to swap out Rage Forger for Surrak Dragonclaw in the 99 in paper. This is going to create a bit of confusion with the list due to Magus Lucea Kane not being online but I want to have some record of which card online is the card being swapped in for Lucea's absence. Hopefully I don't i...

Another round of changes: CUTS 1 Protean Hydra 1 Primeval Protector 1 Tempt with Vengeance 1 Nissa, Voice of Zendikar ADDS 1 Spiteful Banditry 1 Three Visits 1 Rampant Growth 1 Nature's Lore I don't think I had quite enough ramp in the deck so I am going to add in some old standbys. I am also adding...

There are so many good cards for this deck to come out of the LOTR sets that I can't try them all. And even some that I do want to try ends up pushing out some other good cards. But, I am going to try them anyway so here is what I am thinking: CUTS 1 Urabrask, Heretic Praetor 1 Nahiri, the Harbinger...

I am going to try out the following cuts in order to try some of the newer cards above: CUTS 1 Szat's Will 1 Mogis, God of Slaughter 1 Nighthawk Scavenger 1 Henrika Domnathi 1 Valki, God of Lies ADDS 1 Cavern-Hoard Dragon 1 Spiteful Banditry 1 Witch-King of Angmar 1 Lobelia Sackville Baggins 1 Gollu...

I am going to try out this change: CUTS 1 Elder Gargaroth ADDS 1 Radagast the Brown I can't really find a good spot for Entish Restoration so I am just going to try out Radagast. I feel like Radagast can provide more consistency with ensuring I have creatures in hand than Gargaroth's one card per tu...

I am going to try out the following changes: CUTS 1 Exploration 1 Cultivate 1 Last One Standing 1 Kamahl's Will 1 Elder Gargaroth 1 Torment of Hailfire 1 Apex Devastator ADDS 1 Wrenn and Six 1 Entish Restoration 1 Genesis Wave 1 Last March of the Ents 1 Radagast the Brown 1 Sméagol, Helpful Guide 1 ...

I am going to try out this change: CUTS 1 Empty the Laboratory ADDS 1 Sauron's Ransom I am not sure what really to cut here so I went with Laboratory as I have never cast it and the times I had it in hand, I didn't have a good opportunity to fire it off. I like the card but I guess I like the rest b...

I am going to try these changes out: CUTS 1 Hullbreaker Horror 1 Cosima, God of the Voyage ADDS 1 The Watcher in the Water 1 Samwise the Stouthearted The two adds were talked about above and I think they make sense in the deck. Hullbreaker Horror is just expensive and can be tough to really get goin...
