Re: [MH3] The Necrobloom - Field of the Loam
I don't know that I like 5 mana payoffs ( Skirge Familiar Bone Miser ) - really just not necessary. You can win the game handily by just beating face with swampwalking zombies without having to spend 5 mana, just Entomb Filth , or draining the table out, or more mana efficient resilient combos made ...

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange
The land is a little rough, but doesn't look too bad in this first draft just editing off my existing deck somewhat: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/BpoC7xBO2EKyghmhu6-8fw Can certainly include several combos. Ashnod's is only $5. That looks massively rough and I don't like your chances of hitting V...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Journeyer's Kite
Thaumatic Compass // Spires of Orazca makes it look pretty bad, and then like actual cards make Thaumatic Compass // Spires of Orazca look pretty bad. :D
The game is so, so, so, so far past where you can spend 5 mana to draw a card.

Re: [MH3] The Necrobloom - Field of the Loam
I have found The Meathook Massacre to be an exceptional finisher-answer for a Field deck. You can just hook for x=2 and kill everyone after attacking usually.

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange
Any of you folks have a budget version of Varina? There's a weekly league that I am considering with a $150 budget cap. I was thinking Yuriko, but then thought Varina could probably get under that cap without giving up too much of the game plan. The biggest pain is losing a lot of untapped fixing, ...

Re: Ephara, God of the Polis - Flash & Taxes
To be honest, lands like this, and Field of the Dead, are precisely why I still have Strip Mine , Tectonic Edge , and Demolition Field in my decks. When you do strong things, can't be salty about opponents wanting to stop them. ;) I don't find myself striping lands much at all, so little so that I ...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
This is the kind of stuff that causes my interest in Magic to fluctuate so wildly. I hope this set tanks...but it won't. Yeah, it's at the point where almost every new set completely obsoletes a variety of old playstyles and strategies, so if you're playing out in the wild like I often do, you're b...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Argothian Enchantress
The only enchantress I play much anymore; 3 mana is too much for the effect for me. I play this one and Sythis, Harvest's Hand and sometimes Eidolon of Blossoms (since it can be Open the Vaults'd)

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
My god, they seem absolutely dead set on invalidating any card not made in the last 5 years.
I really do not understand how you can possibly walk back from the kind of power creep going on.

Re: Big Timmy Style: Xenagos, God of Elementary Mathematics
Can confirm Anzrag, the Quake-Mole is great at least. I popped him off a Mosswort Bridge on turn 5 or 6 and won off activating his trigger the next turn even though he died (since he untapped my 12/12 Bloodthirster who had been tapped by a Koma, Cosmos Serpent who ran out of sneks).

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Hall of Gemstone
I've never seen this not get invalidated by random crap. Mana rocks and dorks, sometimes winding up kingmaking by stopping interaction in another players turn. Trash. Might play in a mono g enchantress I guess.

Re: Indominus Rex
I can't help but wonder if a few mana dorks with keywords wouldn't be worth considering;
Sylvan Caryatid Birds of Paradise Gilded Goose Beastcaller Savant Maraleaf Pixie Ornithopter of Paradise etc. could be a pretty useful set.
