Re: Kirkusjones presents: DirkGently's polite debate corner aka the Thunderdome
I just want to refute a point you made in the other thread: I had a Ruhan deck back on Salvation based around forced combats. It was built for the precise goal of getting my playgroup to get used to attacking, and when our local meta as a larger group had one of those collective level ups that occas...

Re: Secret Lair "Sheldon's Spellbook"
Did Sheldon ever discuss or play Eladamri's Vineyard or are they only playing up his love of wine? Anyway, I'll probably pick this one up. Most of the cards are playable and that sweet looking Teferi's Protection is probably worth it on its own. He picked the cards, so I'm assuming it's a reference...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
I'll get whatever's available provided it's in English and I don't hate the art. Big fan of buying cards rated anywhere down to Lightly Played as well cause they're usually basically NM but the seller didn't want to argue over a dinged up corner for the sake of three quid.

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
I think I've settled on about 25 quid as my limit, but even then its subjective. Like, I'm not gonna spend that if it's only high cause of another format, I'll wait for rotation. Something good and old that's not coming down past 35-50? Yeah I'll go for that out of my hobby budget, but it's a consid...

Re: Kirkusjones presents: DirkGently's polite debate corner aka the Thunderdome
Yeah to me Voltron is definitely 'I have to put several auras/equipment onto my Commander to get the damage through'. For example, I don't count Molimo as a Voltron commander, he's just real big in and of himself.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Triskaidekaphile
Ah, one of my distraction wincons! I play it, people freak out about how many cards I have in hand (or potentially have), use removal on it then lose to a Biovisionary a few turns later if I'm lucky. If not, then hey I'm 1/20 of the way closer to Mortal Combat . I imagine people building a deck just...

Re: Zedruu the Greatest of All Time
Correct. Or at least, to get specific, the first time they can respond is when the donate ability is on the stack, so it doesn't matter if they kill it then because it's happening anyway.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Indomitable Archangel
While I dod like the retro look, I'm going to second using leonin over it. Double Masters had a reprint with more modern framing, and alternate artwork. um okay? Your typo can be read as you disliking the retro frame, so I think Yeti was just pointing out that you can get newer framed versions. Dra...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
I'm really tempted to put Doppelgang in wincons. Gives me Biovisionary copies, can protect wincons by making copies so I'm less vulnerable to spot removal, extra Sphinx of the Second Sun is always a laugh...
Yeah, if I open one it's definitely worth a punt.

Yeah I'm really looking forward to running this in my Ikra/Ludevic face down deck. Does the cast ignore timing restrictions?Cyberium wrote: ↑4 months agoI'm a fan of Etrata, Deadly Fugitive. Manifesting (cloaking) regularly is a fun enough effect, what's better is you can cast non-creature spells from morphs.

Re: What basic lands do you run?
Molimo is all old-border foils, mostly from the OG few sets but the last six are from Dominaria United because a mate had them. Lathliss uses Unfinity Mountain 489 - the one with the big broken rock eggs. Everything else uses whatever came in it's respective precon or whatever I had in arms reach at...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Cathars' Crusade
One of my personal mantras is "friends don't let friends run Cathars Crusade". Just far too much faffing about for my liking, which is a shame cause it's an objectively cool card.

Re: Wow @MTGSally really did go off a cliff since our move here.
Anyone remembers Magnus Magicus? I remember that he had built a decklist for nearly every commander available. Kind of like an Alpha EDHrec! As a lurker this was an interesting resource for odd and bad commanders. Edit: Another thing I liked about Sally: The decklist database. Could we do something...

That's... actually genius. Huh. If the cascade wrath I put in Lathliss doesn't work out I might give that a punt.

Whereas I knew it was on Ravnica, but have been calling it Markov Manor because it rolls off the tongue so much better.

I mean, it's only exploitable if the opponent with the Eternal Witness also has a sac outlet, otherwise they have to engineer it dying in some other way.

Yay to Archaic, Ugin and the Altar.
I think I'm going to nay the Desecrate Reality. I played around with that wrath where you choose even or odd to wrath away and there was never a good choice, this just feels like a more expensive way to have the same feeling.
