Ahh I see. Yeah no if I wanted to do that I'd build a deck for it.

Dragonlover

I'm confused. Why are you recommending Bridge from Below and Flamekin Zealot? Which of the 15 wincons in the deck do they support?

Dragonlover

Well, I got a Kykar, so I'll probably retool my old Ruhan pillowfort once I've done my Noyan Dar challenge deck. Context for that: every year my playgroup challenges each other by drawing names out of a hat, then choosing a card for that person to build a deck round. This year I got given Spellweave...

I tend to save the Ramos ability until I need it. I should probably add more ramp, I might take a hard look at the coin flip support section, see if I can remove a couple more things for some Wood Elf type effects. Thanks for the compliment! I'm building 32 decks, the way I see it they can't all be ...

Yeah that's fair. I do it for the weekend out as much as anything else.

At this point for this deck, I only really need to consider rares/mythics when a new set drops, especially a Core Set. So, M20 thoughts for the deck: Cavalier of Thorns : Hmm. I'm not really needing to dump stuff in the grave, but the fact it's any land is handy, and the card to the top on death is ...

For completeness' sake, M20 considerations for this deck: Ajani, Strength of the Pride : Lifegain just isn't a major component of the deck, and I don't think I've ever reached 55 life except by accident, so the ult's kinda not relevant. Doesn't make the cut. Sephara, Sky's Blade : That alternate cas...

M20 considerations: Drakuseth, Maw of Flames : That's a lot of mana, but I might give him a whirl. Siege Dragon seems like a decent option to swap out for him. Rapacious Dragon : Love the flavour, and assuming it's on curve it'll guarantee turn 6 Lathliss, but after that it's just a 3/3 flyer assumi...

So the only card from M20 that I'm considering for this deck is Golos, Tireless Pilgrim as a swap for Ramos. Being able to just punt three cards off the top into play seems like it'll be way better than the eventual ramp of Ramos, plus it can grab me a land there and then.

I have considered Hermit Druid , as it would also help set up a massive Open the Vaults . I do worry a bit that I'll end up milling too much stuff away for other wincons though, but that might just be paranoia. Also I've currently got no way of getting the Druid in the grave, so it can't count itsel...

Yeah the only time I can see running this is some really odd madness build where you don't have access to blue or black.

Dragonlover

Sure, I'll bite. My alt-wincon deck (list here ) was the kind of deck where you spend hours poring over your database of choice inputting really specific lines of text to try and get the card effects you need, and I know for a fact that some of the cards in there aren't the best they could be becaus...

Hanna, Ship's Navigator maybe? My wife runs her as pillowfort, but I'm sure there's other stuff you could do with it.

Dragonlover

How's everyone's prerelease weekend going? So far I've opened none of the cards I'm after for Commander decks, but I've got two more events today and a bunch of prize packs still to open.

Dragonlover

Since we're doing locations as well, I'm in Essex, England.

Dragonlover

I'm having a similar problem with Kongming in my mono-W deck, I'll try dropping the comma in the name and see what happens.

EDIT: Just tried all the variations of punctuation, no luck. The cards full name is Kongming, "Sleeping Dragon" in case you need it for testing.

Dragonlover

Yeah I'd rather just play some land-based ramp if I'm in green, since mana rocks are often incidentally hit by a sweeper that's actually dealing with someone else's board but ends up throwing me off for a few turns.

Dragonlover

I'm Dragonlover, I've been playing Magic since Planeshift and EDH since Scars. I'm mostly a Timmy, but I'll happily play good cards if they fit the deck, I really try and aim for that "build casually play competitively" mentality. I'm also addicted to putting morph cards in decks, I think ...

I'm guessing Starfield Mystic doesn't really cut it in this deck? Scheming Symmetry might be worth it though, especially given the asymmetric disruption package. Just gotta say as well, an entertaining and informative read! In the event of me ever actually converting my threads to Primers, I'll prob...
