Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
Come to think of it, I probably could have written out the commanders at the time of posting, especially as some are partner decks. Scion of the Ur-Dragon , Purphoros, God of the Forge , Patron of the Orochi , Aurelia, the Warleader , Feather, the Redeemed , Wort, the Raidmother , Prime Speaker Zega...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
As you can probably guess, a lot of this boils down to builds. I think I still qualify as the resident Spike, albeit with a pronounced Johnny side. The rest of the guys are a lot more chill, and with time I chilled a bit too. Though I'm still extremely obsessive and have routinely ended up over-tuni...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
I'm not surprised. It's got that Feather quality where it does something novel and zany, yet useful. It's a cool design alright. We had a fun little thought exercise with the guys recently and we ranked the various decks of the ten years (!) of the group into a tier list. Not all of them existed at ...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
I actually entertained Ghired, Mirror of the Wilds for a while. I have the original built, and the game plan of that deck is to copy creatures that do disproportionately well in multiples. Point a Cabaretti Confluence at Kalonian Hydra , splat goes the table. It seems that the new Ghired would be be...

Re: Ghired, Conclave Exile - Triple Dipping Naya Lards
Yeah, Aerial Extortionist would be a super easy swap over Cavalier of Dawn in my book. SNC just keeps on giving, that set and its commander decks were incredibly inspired. I can see a myriad of interesting play patterns arising from the Extortionist. I'll try to playtest it with my group, but I full...

Re: Patron of the Orochi - The Cockroach Tron
We're living in interesting EDH times. On one hand R&D has declared that it's moving away from two-drop rocks, except The Irencrag still squeaked out apparently. On the other we're seeing an influx of colour-specific two-drop ramp, presumably as a result of understanding two-drop rocks exist and...

Re: Ghired, Conclave Exile - Triple Dipping Naya Lards
I haven't had the chance to encounter Drawbridge in the wild yet. I've spent most of my EDH juices on Saryth (which immediately employed the freed up Vigor ), but if it does disappoint it's very easy to flip it back. MKM's main contribution to the format comes in the form of surveil typed lands. I l...

Re: Feather, the Redeemed - Weaponised Jankmas Incarnate
MKM's commander product brings the most viable Feather card in quite a while with Unexplained Absence . Point it at something useless on your side of the board, get it back, keep on controlling things, with the morph serving as self-replacing recursion fodder if there's no token generation. It does ...

Couple quick swaps. Out: 1 Arbiter of the Ideal 1 Wand of the Worldsoul In: 1 Craterhoof Behemoth 1 Well Rested As the deck became more and more streamlined, Arbiter of the Ideal drifted toward overcosted and not worth it. Pretty much only sparks joy when twiddled into oblivion via Aura of Dominion ...

Re: Saryth's Magnificent Trampling Circus
I'll do you one better - Primal Surge . It's in active consideration, as there's just a tiny handful of non-permanents in the deck and the returns are likely to be very good, all while the nondeterminism adds to the fun. It may make its way in at some point. Gilanra is a typical flexible card, where...

Re: Saryth's Magnificent Trampling Circus
Thanks for the thoughts, I dug up your Molimo list and it's got some cool tech - Cityscape Leveler has been on my radar for a while, but its prohibitive mana cost and some degree of unpleasantness stopped me from pursuing it. Nissa, Ascended Animist is an interesting idea, I'm not quite as land dens...

Re: Saryth's Magnificent Trampling Circus
Half a year of incremental "but what if I tweak this too" has led to a massive continuous update with about 5 twists and turns, culminating in 28 (!) total roughly 1:1 swaps. The update started when Ojer Kaslem, Deepest Growth got himself printed and I realised he needs to go in. Above rat...

Re: Grothama, All-Devouring - The Maw of Oblivion
I'm having a though slowly bubbling up here. Recently I discovered that this deck is a little overtuned for the playgroup I just started spending time with. I'm thinking about assembling a power up/down board; I am too competitive to genuinely make the decision to cut Mana Crypt, but a sideboard wh...

Re: Teysa: Sacrificing Tokens for Fun and Profit
Metas vary. In my group people pay for Smothering Tithe on your average turn You'd have thought that there'd be plenty of Rampant Growths flying around at least, lands tend to be the safest for parking ramp.

Re: Teysa: Sacrificing Tokens for Fun and Profit
Deep Gnome is not quite enough of a gotcha that it will warp how people play around it. You're not going to play that Rampant Growth because there's a Deep Gnome out? Seems unlikely. Something like a Hushwing Gryff stuffing ETBs is a different story, but I've never seen people warp their lines aroun...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
Still no luck for showing up at common / uncommon though. White's whole spiel in typical 20 life magic is not really about value, and the whole push has been EDH centric. As such, I can totally understand squirrelling away those designs at higher rarities and in non-limited product. This also doubl...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
Trouble in Pairs is nothing new - literally all three of the clauses have been present on cards before. As such, your mileage will be representative of how Mangara, the Diplomat and/or Smuggler's Share perform in your group for draw. In my case, Mangara did little - it was easy enough to just alpha...

Re: Meeple: The Gathering, feat. Rukarumel
One eternity later, the deck finally transitioned to paper. The bulk of the missing cards were obtained from my go-to portuguese vendor, and the package took a month-long holiday in UK customs before bouncing due to a purported lack of forms - which it actually did not need as it was a few grams und...

Re: Ghired, Conclave Exile - Triple Dipping Naya Lards
Been a while since I showed my face around these parts. I didn't play or think about the deck for a while, and once I picked it up again with fresher eyes the gameplay revealed itself to be somewhat more combo oriented than I realised. Not in the literal Kiki Conscripts style, but if I land one of m...

Re: Feather, the Redeemed - Weaponised Jankmas Incarnate
