Re: Karador, Ghost Chieftain - Quest for Control

If you're able to resolve an Eerie Ultimatum this is probably the last thing you'd care about, but if you diversify your basic lands to half regular and half snow-covered ones you'll get more lands from the Ultimatum. That is a pretty good point. And might come into play if someone were to play Fie...

Re: Ephara, God of the Polis - Flash & Taxes

While I ponder what card I cut for Charismatic Conqueror (probably Saltskitter ?) I wanted to write a little about my experience with Urza's Saga in this deck. That is still one of my first thoughts when it comes to cards to cut. It fuels Ephara reasonably well but so do a lot of cards. Well, first...

Re: Hazezon, Shaper of Sand - Traversing the Desert

Gamble might need to find its way in either way. Along with Life from the Loam just to give some additional options. I will say that my primary thought is being able to get something off Chord of Calling , Elvish Reclaimer , or Knight of the Reliquary that can help stall the game. Selfless Squire en...

Re: Hazezon, Shaper of Sand - Traversing the Desert

The main reason I didn't look to Constant MIsts as an option was because I have no real way to get to it, other than drawing a bunch of cards. Spike Weaver and Chasm can be tutored out with other cards. I do agree that it has more synergy with the deck but that becomes less relevant if it takes me m...

Re: Hazezon, Shaper of Sand - Traversing the Desert

I have been running a few more games as tests and things are looking up. I did end up losing one game but that was primarily because I didn't do my math right with Jetmir, Nexus of Revels on the field (and I forgot he provided Vigilance) and I left the person with 3 life left. And then they cast Cyc...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Celestial Dawn

I definitely played this as super fixing in a young Kaalia. Kinda funny that it'll make certain swords fall off. I wonder what happens when I control Painter's Servant (red) and someone casts Donate and gives this to me. Why is this relevant? Let's say I'm playing Torbran, Thane of Red Fell so now ...

Re: Hazezon, Shaper of Sand - Traversing the Desert

Ugh..... I played a game online and got to 9 poison counters but was able to stabilize. I was lucky that another player took out the Infect creature and then I drew into Hour of Revelation a little later to reset everything. The infect player was playing Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief which led to a lot of...

Re: Hazezon, Shaper of Sand - Traversing the Desert

Convergence would be really nice to include but yeah, 8 mana is just too much. I might just have to accept that I am going to be weak to fliers in general. Unless I want to add something to give all my creatures Reach or something. I had thought of Elder Gargaroth but it doesn't do a lot here. Hydra...

Re: Hazezon, Shaper of Sand - Traversing the Desert

I got another game in and it went alright, but not great. I had a huge army at one point even with Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire trying to beat me down (fliers are becoming a real concern). I was able to get in about 27 damage back at Vaevictus thanks to Shefet Dunes . Unfortunately, they cast Kenrith'...

Man I apologize for bishop, in my head it was "creature 3 or less ETBs" like Tocasia's Welcome template. It's so hard to keep track of all that! No worries. I should have checked it more closely when I added it as I too thought it was on enter :) Bennie Bracks, Zoologist is really strong,...

Re: Hazezon, Shaper of Sand - Traversing the Desert

I agree on Intervention. It is fairly flexible and can offer options to refill a hand as needed. I would agree with those two being the main win cons in the deck. It is tough to get in damage with just 1/1s. I do like Jetmir, Nexus of Revels still as well though I haven't won with him on the field y...

Re: Hazezon, Shaper of Sand - Traversing the Desert

I will think on Pyroblast. It likely would have helped in that game, assuming I had it in hand. But that does assume I would have had it in hand which isn't a guarantee obviously. I played another game and this one worked out better. I won't go into too much detail but I was able to get Hazezon down...

Re: Hazezon, Shaper of Sand - Traversing the Desert

Fair enough. I do think Henge is one of the better card draw type cards one could include in a lot of situations. It gets out of control fast. I can understand the idea of having an extra turn to cast the cards being a fairly high benefit. But I can see the other side where I need a card now and see...

Re: Hazezon, Shaper of Sand - Traversing the Desert

I am going to try cutting Provisioner and adding Tracker and Forge and Frontier. As you said, there is a pretty delicate balance of having mana and having cards so scaling back the mana in favor of cards can possibly get back to being more centered on that scale. I have thought of things like Wrenn'...

Re: Hazezon, Shaper of Sand - Traversing the Desert

Loam and Gamble probably isn't the worst idea. I am starting to get a little tight on spots as I like what I have but that doesn't mean everything I have is solid or irreplaceable. Loam can help out a lot, especially with all my other "additional land drop" cards to help me ramp if nothing...

Re: Hazezon, Shaper of Sand - Traversing the Desert

I think you have a good point on both Intervention and Command and I agree Command might be worth it over Tempt. I do like that Intervention can get lands to hand before Hazezon comes down (maybe after he gets destroyed for the second or third time) whereas Command works best when Hazezon is already...

Re: Hazezon, Shaper of Sand - Traversing the Desert

I decided to try a few cuts. These changes are primarily meant to cut cards and see how the deck works without them. I added a few for the same reason but these additions are definitely not meant to be final. CUTS 1 Goblin Bombardment 1 Doubling Season 1 Collective Unconscious 1 Anointed Procession ...

Finally decided to play a game with this deck. As such, I also updated the decklist in the first post with the first real iteration of the deck. I will keep track of changes from here on out. This game was against The Ur-Dragon and Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor . There was a 4th person in the game but th...

Re: Turning Vehicles Into Different Vehicles After Crewing

This seems fine and is so because of the way layers work. So, let's say they have a Smuggler's Copter , Esika's Chariot , and Aradara Express . They crew all of them. Crewing, as you pointed out, turns the object into an Artifact creature. That is it. It doesn't do anything else as the rest of the c...

@WizardMN have you seen Blossoming Tortoise much lately? How have you liked it? I have one coming and want to temper expectations. I suspect if I get a hit on ETB, and a one swing into a blocker it will have served it's purpose. Also gets back dead utility lands or used channel lands instead of fin...

Re: Hazezon, Shaper of Sand - Traversing the Desert

I am likely not going to have a lot of enchantments but it is still relevant. Not revealing the top card is certainly a benefit. That is a fair point about the 7th land but it likely ends up not mattering. It shouldn't be too hard with the rest of the cards to get to that many lands as it is. I migh...

I honestly didn't even know about Ruin Ghost. That seems like a reasonable addition. I looked into Case of the Locked Hothouse as a second Oracle of Mul Daya . I decided against it primarily due to being 4 mana (even though that is what Oracle costs) but if I continue down the route of some of the c...

Hazezon, Shaper of Sand - Traversing the Desert

I have been wanting to build a naya deck for quite some time. I debated on building Rin and Seri, Inseparable and was even going to get the Secret Lair but it sold out far too quickly. I was also never really sold on that particular tribe or play style as it seemed to want to encourage Changelings w...

Re: Flashback with No MV

They would be the same as if you tried to cast them from your hand. That is, they have no Flashback Cost which means there is no cost to pay which means you cannot cast them. Normally, from your hand, you can use something like As Foretold to give them a cost you can pay. However, that doesn't work ...

Re: Ephara, God of the Polis - Flash & Taxes

I think each does something slightly different and I think it depends on whether you are moving towards your control shell or if you are sticking with the flash and taxes. In the control shell, I think I like Shark Typhoon a little more. It triggers off more spells and can be cycled away in a pinch ...
