I thought I'd remembered another Portal Mage variant but I can't seem to remember it :D

Portal Manipulator?

Ahh yeah. I remember now it has the very unfortunate text that loses to hexproof.

Man what drunk asshat at wizards was like,..."You know what Magic needs is more annihilator"?

As for your query, add this bit to your search to exclude all cards with Tap symbols. oracle:":" oracle:"target" (type:artifact OR type:creature OR type:enchantment) ci<=G (game:paper) -o:"{T}" this is helpful but the issue is it winds up excluding cards that have seco...

Koma is definitely one of those cards that asks really hard meta questions. In the abstract, the deck is not particularly strong; Koma is expensive, removable easily with non-destructive removal (just Swords to Plowshares it!). But on the flipside, just its normal mode of existing asks hard question...

Freestrider Lookout This card is so, so very stupid. The first and obvious combo is with Stone-Seeder Hierophant , but man there have to just be infinity ways to generate a trigger each turn -- Retreat to Coralhelm is fairly synergistic one too, where you crack a fetchland and it triggers a crime w...

Cards I have on my want to get in the deck list Pillage the Bog - new set card, really strong. plot and play it later with 10 lands out is similar to demonic tutor but a bit more fair, and has early game fixing applications Simic Growth Chamber - I really want a karoo in this deck. Might just wind u...

So I haven't had a chance to playtest this deck with the updates but I did finally find a Quartzwood Crasher by a seller that I also wanted other things from so I Didn't have to pay $2 shipping for a $1 card, so I got one of those and an Anzrag, the Quake-Mole . What I think I am going to do is put ...

How does the cosmic Intervention lead to saccing 3 Times, shouldnt it be t 2? When the cards Return from exile These are new instances of the card similar how persist works right? Saccing them should put them in the graveyard CI leads to three total triggers thusly: (Note: It is as you noted only t...

Makes sense actually. Okay cutting mana rocks besides sol ring, and adding in more 1-2 drops and gonna look at my taplands. Maybe the flavor of Field of the Dead is not worth it even though the new art is sick. don't forget Springleaf Drum -- very good with 1 drop zombies letting you power out a 3 ...

How about legendary dual-type pain land?

sure do that too :D more fetchables for me to Life from the Loam

Has anyone run the Deathstar in Varina? I'm faced with rebuilding after the disappointing experiment with the try-hard list, and I think I want to try some different things. Sensei's Divining Top is rarely a bad card in any deck, and Aetherflux Reservoir can be a win-con with recursion loops and wh...

I was havin a convo with Rumpy5897 the other day and I stand by my hope which is that they ban these and then print legendary versions of them into the damn ground so everyone can have nice manabases. :D personally getting closer to being on board with a flat out banning of the RL in EDH. Mox Diamon...

https://www.moxfield.com/decks/GRjik-7FLEa3d97JLdm9hw Current stab at making Varina more recursion focused. Have Vile Entomber, Entomb, Buried Alive to help add to the grave. Along with Reanimate, Dread Return and Oversold Cemetery, plus some of the recursions zombies: Rot Hulk, Phyrexian Delver, H...

Dig Through Time is the biggest instant :D probably worth playin despite the slight nonbo. Dies kick counter stuff work with Said // Done to let you return a Time Warp from the bin? looks like so https://www.reddit.com/r/askajudge/comments/sv32ib/sld_chun_li_interactions_with_split_spells/ Mystical...

@cheonice to try to make Merfolk have a fighting chance in Modern is my guess

I was thinking Mnemonic Deluge targeting Surge to Victory.

a part of me is a bit more amused at Surge to Victory copying Mnemonic Deluge and then every whack casting 3 copies of something :D

I think in general we (read: those of us aiming to curve 1-2-3-Varina) should be playing closer to an aggro profile of lands because we have so many early game plays so I haven't added the black surveil lands yet. I'm thinking about if I retune this deck removing all but field and crypt as tap lands...

Yeah I feel like cranking out free time warps and extra combat steps and stuff is pretty well trodden ground I'd like to avoid at this point, but it's always there. I kinda like the idea of setting 4-5 attackers up and craterhoofing the board with some kinda ridiculousnes. maybe Soulfire Eruption fr...

I'm not sure when I'll get around to updating the OP, but here's the power level powerdown cuts: Cuts 1 constant mists 1 demonic tutor 1 phyrexian altar 1 the mending of dominaria 1 vampiric tutor 1 entomb 1 nether traitor 1 ancient greenwarden 1 undergrowth recon 1 finale of devastation Adds 1 Tale...

that's a deceptively strong legend at uncommon. Nobody will want to block so you can piggy back combat damage triggers to force blocks, or simply play sac outlets and draw a crapload of cards off swinging blindly with tokens. Even just bashing with recursive creatures is good value. Then it provides...

I noticed most of the decklists I have seen run maybe 8 card advantage and about 35 lands. Have you noticed any inconsistencies? I can only speak for myself but my build is very consistent at hitting 2 zombies then Varina, and starting the digging there on turn 4. My "make sure I hit my lands'...

My original thinking was a high instant-sorcery Aragorn, King of Gondor themed around Glamdring but not sure I can quite get my head around what to do or how spellslingery I want. Aragorn's ability to jam through damage is really good but it's a lot of work to spellsling and make enough bodies for s...

But it's important to remember Varina's trigger never gives you more than it takes Minor quibble but for me anyway I am usually pretty close to parity with any Varina trigger; some cards are significantly better in the bin, and some cards are fine in the bin. I've won games blasting for 10 with Var...
