Re: The Scarab God

What do you guys think about adding Mystic Remora to this list? Too much or pulling away from something else I could be doing? It's very much a meta call. Is your meta a lot of low count creature decks? Will people actually 'feed the fish?' or wait till you can't pay the upkeep and then resume play...

Re: What are your aesthetic hang-ups?

I usually have a thing for old border or special art (Judge, promo, etc) but it isn't absolutely critical to me playing a card in a deck.

Re: The Scarab God

Not sure what the problem is, but lately this deck has been really underperforming for me. I played two games online today and missed more land drops than I can remember. Only got to cast SG once (didn't resolve), never activated him, and never really got to do much of anything. The worst part is t...

Re: Threat assessment: The player or the deck or both?

I try not to single out a known troublesome Commander (unless I know the player and what they usually build).
I treat every game like a new one and wait for a board state to build before I start reacting.

Re: Are partners a problem?

I don't find partners to be an issue.
In cEDH they are more I want these colors, hence why they are so popular.

In all honestly, most stuff doesn't bug me, play answers in your deck and you can deal with these things.

Re: The Scarab God

Have you thought about the possibility of expanding your wheel suite, too? I've gone a little heavier on this in my Dralnu list of late with stuff like Whispering Madness and Dark Deal. Seems like a great way to get targets in the yard and hit the cards you need, be it land drops, rocks or whatnot....

I like the list, I too fell for the trap of Zombie tribal before ditching it and going with a Control/Reanimator shell with some mill sprinkled in. I really enjoy Oracle of Dust in my list. Being able to loot and get back something I've already taken from someone elses yard is great. Sire of Stagnat...

Re: Is Vivien's Arkbow a good card?

I've got a copy in my Mono Green Stompy Selvala deck and it's not horrible. I've certainly wiffed and gotten mana dorks but I've also cheated in some of the better creatures in the deck.

Re: Shuffling a hundred cards

I've got big ol mitts so shuffling 100 cards double sleeved isn't too bad. Matte sleeves make a huge difference (Eclipse ftw!)

I usually do a mix of mash and riffle shuffle (I'm crazy like that) and then my play group cuts decks just because.

Re: What factors go into rating your deck?

I usually look at stuff like the mana base (duals, shocks, fetches) first but I cannot use that alone as I own all the noted cards so I usually do run them even in my tuned down decks. Next step would be the mana rocks, if I'm building something lower power then I won't be playing all the zero drop ...

I opt'd to leave out the Flash Hulk lines in Sidisi because I've got a cEDH Sushi Hulk deck anyways. I've still got Kozilek in my deck so I've got some hoops to jump through but that's fine by me. I've tried Cockatrice but never really got use to it. I'll have to try it more. Thanks for the advice. ...

For white - Balan, Wandering Knight . A great Voltron Commander that can easily equip whatever equipment you have on the field. Plus once she has double strike she's able to easily knock an opponent out. I've found (at least in my meta) that white's stax effects are great for leveling the playing fi...

Re: Why is everyone in cEDH keep calling about 'ban' Flash thing?

They (we since I sometimes play cEDH) want Flash banned because it lets your win from zero board state.

PE was horrible to play against in casual because people would take 20 minute durdle turns and do nothing.

Re: What's your most unusual commander and/or deck?

Probably my The Scarab God deck.

It's a Reanimator/Control deck with a sprinkling of mill. It's proven to be quite strong and since I usually reanimate other people's creatures, no 2 games are the same.
