In general I find that just catching up to ramp players is the most fun option, vs. trying to prevent them from playing. Making %$#% enter the battlefield tapped is a nightmare for everyone to keep track of and people really suck at it. I dunno, I think Root Maze effects for nonbasics are great too...

would Oversimplify be a good board wipe? the tokens it leaves behind might be unfortunate, but it's the cheapest "real" board wipe in these colors I had completely forgotten about this card. Definitely worth testing. Exile is great, and while the token is problematic and doesn't at all sa...

Highly efficient fetching did kind of jack up the dynamics of playing 3+ colors, I can't really argue against that. I guess that's cool if you're only concerned about efficiency but not great if you care about there being some kind of incentive for limiting yourself to fewer colors. There should be...

Overpowered design mistakes that make me shuffle every turn. No thanks.

To expand on, what is simics space for removal? counters stappled into creatures? I like the idea of more mass polymorphs or mass fights. For Slogurk specifically I want something like this: Spill Over [sym=1][sym=g][sym=g] Sorcery Target creature with Trample you control deals damage equal to its ...

Lol, I feel like we are kind of already out of "Simic Winter" or whatever you want to call it. Idk, green has gotten some cool new toys, but I feel wizards must of finally fired the guy that kept designing busted Simic cards /hj Cyber Conversion and Eaten by Piranhas are very new cards, a...

See, this looks much more interesting, you've got removal, wipes, protection and I expect you to have to make some hard decisions while piloting this deck. (I will say the draw section looks suspiciously heavy when you have draw in the CZ, obviously it's good to have some if Thalia kicks the bucket...

It's funny I actually really like green and blue, but, being the two worst removal colors, they need to lean on another color for removal, on their own they're not for me, and adding them together doesn't really change that.

Give it 5 years.

Well, I got 3 games in and lost all three. lol I took his advice to heart with a second Thalia and The Gitrog Monster deck. That card is such a ridiculous four drop that you don't have to build around them at all. Only instead of parlaying that into constantly dropping game ending bombs, we're goin...

Here we are. Commander: 1 Korlash, Heir to Blackblade Lands: 44 1 Bloodstained Mire 1 Bojuka Bog 1 Buried Ruin 1 Cabal Coffers 1 Demolition Field 1 Deserted Temple 1 Fabled Passage 1 Marsh Flats 1 Myriad Landscape 1 Plaza of Heroes 1 Polluted Delta 1 Prismatic Vista 1 Rogue's Passage 1 Shizo, Death'...

Or are you just running him as a giant beatstick with regenerate?

It does what it says on the tin.

I'm testing Braids, Arisen Nightmare and I'll +1, Cabal Stronghold is a wastes. wish I heard @TheGildedGoose I'm tinkering with a Korlash, Heir to Blackblade list for %$#% and giggles. I grew weary of Torment of Hailfire . I can post it later, as I'm actually kind of proud of it. I don't know if is...

What argument is there for unbanning Gifts Ungiven ? A 4 mana instant to find you A+B combo and 2 ways to recur whatever went to the yard, or 4 pieces of interaction to protect the combo you're already holding, just screams oppressive, repetitive gameplay to me. How is it any different than any num...

There isn't one.

I started using some aristocrat drains to close games. It fits the attrition-style nature of the deck.

The only Naya commander besides Hazezon, Shaper of Sand I've considered if only for being able to call the deck Rocco's Modern Life.

Seems more aware of the state of the game and/or more candid than I would have expected. My expectations have raised somewhat. Gifts unban when? Jim is great. I'm glad it appears as though he's stepping into the leadership role because I have a lot of respect for him not just as a player but also a...

Live and let live. This goes both ways. I respect their freedom to argue about anything under the sun but please respect our desire to not have pages-long arguments about tangentially related topics crowding up threads. There's a containment thread and it should be used by all parties after like tw...

Louder, for the folks in the back: I don't know why you all spend so much time and effort arguing with Dirk over something as subjective as his personal rankings of cards, especially when it's obvious that you're evaluating them from significantly differing viewpoints. I generally wouldn't care, as...

I wonder if @DirkGently could win with this in his group :rofl: Honestly at this point I'm more interested in hearing about Dirk giving himself a disadvantage in ways beyond deck building. You know, playing with your dominant arm behind your back on a time limit on your own turn, that kind of thing.

We haven't really covered it before, but how do we feel about Pit of Offerings ? *Slogurk has entered the chat* This is actually pretty good there because I'm also pretty graveyard-centric so Scavenger Grounds can be awkward. I can also easily sacrifice it to recur it as needed which is another hug...

Charnel Serenade is far and away the best of its cycle so far, and I'm not sure it's very good. It's so cool, though.

I want to play an unsleeved deck that donates cards to people so they have to touch my heavily, heavily played cards. Who should I build?

Build some courage and use it to seek help

😔

It's going to have a rubber band around it, too, just like when I was a kid.
