Re: Just saw one of the worst articles on the mothership

I generally don't like to criticize people's work, but… man. That was a heck of a read. I feel like that article was written by just rolling a die after searching the least used cards in EDH and then trying to legitimize them. Man. Kaho ruling aside, I honestly think the best card he mentioned is Fa...

Re: [official] How long have you been playing?

So I've been playing for 15 years, with the same playgroup the entire time. We've added a few and lost a few over the years, but me and my buddy that started playing years ago are still in it!

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

So I just got back from CommandFest Richmond, and I gotta say… I started deckteching Mahadi, Emporium Master the day he got spoiled, and then pulled a foil etched Mahadi in my set boosters from the prize wall. I built the deck Sunday morning and played it six times. It's real good. He's a sweet comm...

Re: Is this counterspell printable?

I mean yeah, that's totally printable. Mana Tithe does the first part for one mana and cancel is the equivalent to it being kicked, so there's no reason that it wouldn't work.

Archenemy in EDH

Hi all! Just wondering if you all have tried Archenemy with EDH. I love archenemy as a fun alternative way to play Magic, and I own almost all of the archenemy cards, but I have yet to figure out the best way to play it with edh. The higher starting life totals make for a very difficult game of it, ...

Thousand-Year Storm, for sure. I like that it's in Izzet colors and you can get way more copies out of it than by giving rebound.

Re: Best Commander cards for less than three mana?

Honestly, Sword of the Animist is one of the best. Then there is also a personal favorite of mine, Skirk Prospector . On further thought: Serra Ascendant Phyrexian Reclamation Sign in Blood Young Pyromancer Pact of Negation (slightly cheaty for this, but hey... it says 0) Obviously all legal Moxen W...

I have to go with Clock of Omens, I think. It's just a better card in my mind, because you can do it multiple times.

Re: Ghired, Conclave Exile - Triple Dipping Naya Lards

That makes sense, I can see how you'd avoid running it in that case. Have you tried out God-Pharaoh's Gift yet? It's one I run in mine, despite the hefty cmc, but I haven't had the chance to test it out yet because I haven't drawn it. I went 2-0 with my Ghired deck last night, thanks to a well-timed...

Personally, I like the Crashing Wave, but primarily because she's one of the first walkers I ever pulled.

Re: Ghired, Conclave Exile - Triple Dipping Naya Lards

Haha, glad I could help. Yeah the difference is that twinflame works because it's an effect of the spell to exile the token that IT created, whereas Heat Shimmer *gives* the token the line of text that exiles it at end of turn. So if you populate a twinflame target, only the one copied by twin flame...

Re: Ghired, Conclave Exile - Triple Dipping Naya Lards

Not sure if anyone else asked this, but why are you running Heat Shimmer? It's a good clone spell, but if you populate the tokens they still go away at end of turn because of its wording. Is that okay in your game plan?

Thanks for pointing out the Typo! Yeah good points about Death's Presence, that's probably a smart cut. I think I'm going to add a Kodama's Reach also, so I'll cut something for that. Avatar is on the short list, as is Voice of Zendikar. I may swap her for the Garruk that draws, or just a different ...

Nylea's +1/+1 Hydras

This is one of my favorite decks to play, my Nylea +1/+1 counter deck. It's mostly Hydra tribal and focuses on getting bid beaters out and trampling over the competition. As we all know, the main problem with Hydra Tribal in EDH is that Hydra's don't have a reliable way to get damage through because...

I think Clique is the better card here. It's just so powerful for the cost, and even though bouncing is nice, this is better.

Re: "Help me cut a card" thread

Well, I would say that for the purposes of my Nylea deck, Unbound Flourishing is better, and the couple times that DS has stayed out haven't really been changed by it being there. It doubles counters on an already massive creature, which usually doesn't have enough effect at that point in the game. ...

Re: "Help me cut a card" thread

Yeah that's kind of where I'm leaning. I think i'll Make the swap. Doubling Season is already going out for The Great Henge because that's also Winmore.
I'm thinking Vigor will go into Ghired instead as evasion for him so I can swing through and populate more.

Re: "Help me cut a card" thread

Hey all! So I run a +1/+1 counter deck with Vigor in it, and I am thinking of cutting it for Return of the Wildspeaker because I feel like Vigor is kind of Win-More in that deck. Thoughts?
