Got some thoughts about new cards: Wandering Archaic is Tron's newest answer to Prowess, effectively shutting down their early game creatures as long as they can survive to cast it. Resculpt could go in a mighty brew with its friend Ensoul Artifact . Targeting your own Memnite , Ornithopter or Darks...

What are your experiences with Coveted Prize? I have one lying around, but I wouldn't expect to have a full party that often. Four changelings on the battlefield at the same time isn't too standard for me I think - but I'll start paying more attention to that from now on, because it's more a feelin...

Got plenty of games done over the week. Here are my thoughts: [hr] Maskwood Nexus is an absolute, irreplaceable, all-star. A perfect grab off a Coveted Prize to play for free is the most bonza thing I've done in MTG in a while. The Nexus has singlehandedly been either a 'Remove on Sight' target, eat...

Very fringe, but Scuttling Sliver looks good for potential Maskwood Nexus / Artificial Evolution / Unnatural Selection / Amoeboid Changeling / Mirror Entity infinities on something like a Priest of Titania or Bloom Tender ala Freed from the Real or Pemmin's Aura . Unfortunate that we don't have any...

Changeling Tribal just got a new haymaker and it looks like it was given the Llanowar Tribe 'Hybrid' treatment. Arcane Adaptation + Birthing Boughs = Maskwood Nexus . They heard you like creature types so they gave your creatures more creature types so they can creature type while they creature type...

I'd recommend Path of Ancestry. It ETBs tapped but it is a 5c land that lets you scry 1 every time you cast a changeling. I have heeded your comments and tangled with the list a little more. Some of the cards I've chosen have strictly better variants I might not know of or things that simply work b...

Sounds good. There's a good chance I'll be less responsive over the holidays. I did a little tinkering with cards that work and do things, there is no definite theme and it seems unfocused, but it can play well with a manadork-rich hand. See what you think! The Ramp Dragon (1) 1x The Ur-Dragon Crea...

The main thing I've noticed while building my deck and looking at other people's changeling tribal decks is that they have a few varying themes you can lean into. Thank you for such a fast response! The Ur-Dragon having an effect in the Command zone which acts as ramp is extremely enticing. I will ...

materpillar [hr] I've recently gotten quite hooked on the idea of Changeling, Tribal or 'Tribal Tribal' as a whole and was looking for a thread such as this to get a general idea of what I should be thinking about in the pile and how to make it stack up to my semi-competitive meta. My personal choi...

Decided to draw up my own Primer with a nice, biblical twist. If you've got time, check it out!

Is it just me or is the new Unicorn Emiel the Blessed functionally identical to Temur Sabertooth in this deck? Except it doesn't have the invincibility clause, but it does treat everything you are casting as if it only costs 1 CMC compared to using Sabertooths effect of having to cast the creature a...

Going through the spoilers of Core 21 and Jumpstart, I cherry-picked some cards that might be interesting to think about as additions to the deck. I've sorted them into viability and given a few lines to each to explain further their impact on the deck as a whole if included. Barrin, Tolarian Archma...

Towering Titan
Thoughts?

Might be a good top end for political trample plays, in my eyes it's far better suited for play in the beat-down version of the deck however.

New card, Teferi's Ageless Insight seems pretty good for wall-ball turns when you're looking for gas, and our draw potential is extremely high, worth considering.

Sterling Grove. Hmm. Definitely an interesting card to consider since Aluren and Intruder Alarm are primary win conditions for the deck. I'll have to ponder it and some goldfishing to wrap my head around its applications. I'm gonna try and pick up one of the new foily Sterling Groves with the gorge...

How often do you guys find you have to mulligan your opening hands due to not enough mana considering you only have 31/32 lands in there? I'm considering bumping back up to 33 or 34 as I've noticed I have to mulligan a fair bit even with 14 - 16 ramp cards in there depending upon the day. I find I ...

I'm usually not a guy for counter-spells in general, but I picked up the Timeless Wisdom precon for Fierce Guardianship . It seems super strong with our gameplan of getting Arcades out as fast and efficiently as possible, making tapping out on turn 3 relatively safe for us because of the free counte...

The return! My personal build hasn't changed too much since I last showed it to everyone, yet I have been considering cards such as: Blue Sun's Zenith (For targeted player removal.) Scroll Rack (For being completely busted.) Academy Rector (To grab choice pieces when needed, pretty fringe though.) D...

pufflex Benjameenbear ChocoDude I apologise for the effective Call to Arms , but the thread has been stagnating for a while now and I was wondering if anyone had any more experience with the deck, any new musings or information and I'm posting just to be a general callback for the Arcades boys. Loo...

[mention]Moth[/mention] Thanks for the compliments on my Kaalia list. That list has been refined through EXTENSIVE cEDH play and is, quite frankly, one of the more brutal decks I've played against. Nearly everyone who plays against it underestimates it G1 and then targets her relentlessly afterward...

Not necessarily. I think, by having Arcades be your Commander, that you'd get less flak at a random table for being a Hulk player because no one expects Arcades to be a Flash Hulk deck. Something to consider is that Arcades enables a very awesome card advantage engine and beat-down plan which makes...

Good list of outlets. It seems like the cEDH meta has (as I long suspected it would) moved towards a more mid-range style of play. Fast combo decks aren't eating up the meta anymore and even Flash Hulk decks are becoming more conservative in executing their lines. At least, this is what I've gather...

I think that Arcades is innocuous enough that it should fly under the radar a good portion of the time to enable a beatdown to actually occur. I'm curious as to what you find yourself doing with infinite mana via the Scepter, [mention]Moth[/mention]. It seems to be working for you even though there...

Boredom is inevitable, that's why I've got two decklists for Arcades, this combo, and a more beatdown oriented Budget build. Curious, do you lean towards one build style more than the other for sheer enjoyment? I lean towards the combo build because I'd rather absolutely destroy someone and watch t...

Hey Moth, I have been super busy with work lately but the deck new list looks like a definite upgrade. Good to see others are enjoying Arcades as much as I have in the past. I was thinking of adding scroll rack into the deck and cutting Sylvan Library. Just wondered what you thoughts were on this. ...
