Making a quick note here before I forget: pokken just clued me into some sweet tech in Manifold Insights and I want to log it here. I'll likely squeeze it in with the next update. Speaking of updates, I do have my new cards, just haven't sleeved em and updated the OP yet. It's been a minute since I'...

I forgot that Emry, Lurker of the Loch could be a combo machine. Hmmm. I will say that Cosima, God of the Voyage // The Omenkeel is another commander I've been intrigued by. My thoughts were more based on pure landfall/proliferate triggers and getting 1-2 massive hits of draw power a game with her, ...

I have not been running Heartwarming Redemption , but I have given it a look before. It just seemed to fit the bill perfectly with what you were describing, instant speed and all. Oooh, Manifold Insights is nifty! How did I not know about this card? As far as the rummaging/looting being not that gre...

I'm considering my options for the next deck I brew up, and I'm pretty sure I'd like to scratch the mono u itch and the artifacts matter itch. Might as well kill two birds with one stone. The issue is picking a commander. Urza, Lord High Artificer , Memnarch , and Arcum Dagsson are gonna be a no fro...

Heartwarming Redemption There's also Chandra, Flamecaller which can become CA once you activate the 0 ability a second time. We've had the PW discussion several times, so it's probably not super appealing unless you have a powerful way to enhance her activations, like Purphoros, God of the Forge / ...

The only thing potentially worth commenting more on is Reflection and, by association, Theoretical Duplication. These are fun cards but take the exact right scenario to be good that I am not sure my build is right for them. I view Mystic Reflection as spot removal or a weird counterspell more than ...

I really like it in principle, but then i think about it and it just comes across as awkward. You need to pass the turn with mana open and a flash/instant spell in hand just to replace the horse - so unless the other spell is CA you're still down a card and mana. It doesn't really pay off until the ...

Also in a game last night, I had Banishing Knack in hand, drew Chrome Mox , and then drew Jeskai Ascendancy and didn't realize the combo. Huh. I just realized if I add Banishing Knack to my Kykar list I could do this with Sol Ring or, while Kykar is in play, Springleaf Drum /talisman/signet. Jeskai...

On the bright side, I can't tell you how many games I've won off of flipping this card off of a Chaos Wand activation. Ha ha haaaaaa get rekt. Y'know, I never played conspiracy, but this was probably fine there where you weren't stealing degenerate permanents and getting to 9 mana wasn't so trivial...

One card combos are neither fun nor interesting to play with or against.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Oooh, Krark, the Thumbless is a good one here. I like him especially with the rituals. Double wheeling could be good too - if we draw into instants. Krark + Bonus Round to set the tone for the turn sounds delightful.

Just a few more random thoughts while I'm here and thinking about the deck: I'd love more draw seven effects, but making a bunch of Magus of the Wheel tokens then activating Sundial of the Infinite is pretty narrow and telegraphed while also being awkwardly positioned with how I'd rather storm pre c...

You will end up with 4 tokens: two each from the dying Anax's that trigger themselves. They will not trigger each other since they are tokens. However, if you kill the original and a token, you get 8 tokens: 2 from the token's trigger for itself when it dies and 2 from each Anax when the original d...

I'm pretty sure "Anax" just refers to himself here, not other cards called that. You're likely to get 2 satyrs per Anax though due to the whole power devotion thing, as he himself has two pips already.

Ah jeez, I forgot he gets more tokens for being power 4+. Good catch.

Well, I thought I was clear on all this rulesy stuff, but Anax, Hardened in the Forge still has my head spinning. WizardMN - if I make 2 copies of Anax and kill off the two token copies to the legend rule, would the result be 2 satyrs or 6 satyrs since there are 2 instances of "Anax" dying...

TY WizardMN . I missed lathliss requiring non tokens. Good to know there could be shenanigans with others though. Yeah, Inferno Titan is a beating. For now I'm really committing to a low curve though. We'll see if that changes though. Edit: Holy cross post dogpile batman! Guardman yeah, nontoken got...

So in my endless mulling over ideas for the deck, I realized Anax, Hardened in the Forge might be good for the deck. It requires things like Ogre Battledriver or Anger to give mass haste to make it an instant kill, but it scales really well. For example: at one copy of Anax, you will get four 1/1 s...

This is super narrow and, from a power level and format/meta standpoint, it's not a "good" card. That said, I have often thought about building a janky Dismiss into Dream / Willbreaker deck that Fractured Loyalty would fit in. I think the key is that targeted abilities work with it, so som...

Edit: so, I have given some more thought to the Threaten effect creatures ever since @plushpenguin mentioned one and I thought I was just off of them. However, in a recent cube game I had my Ugin, the Spirit Dragon nabbed by a Zealous Conscripts . Ermagersh I forgot that card says *permanent*. I th...

Guardman I think I had written off garrison since the tokens enter tapped and many will inevitably die right away, and I have cheaper token production in Mogg War Marshal and Young Pyromancer (which I keep thinking about including), but you make a good point about free rolling the land. Melding is ...

@MeowZeDung
I really need to give that card(Mandate of Peace) a try, it's been used against me to great effect but I haven't actually slotted it into anything yet.

I love it in a Sunforger package.

I see that it was mentioned early on in this thread, but hasn't gotten much more discussion, so I'll bring up Mandate of Peace again. That card's super. It's Fog . It's Silence . It's Stifle (mostly for attack triggers, but there are some nasty ones ). It saves a weaker player's skin so they can abs...

Explore and Crop Rotation as ways to ramp and keep Rionya hits high after the early game ramp rush is over, perhaps? Admittedly, you need the land in hand or on top of the library for Explore to pay off early on, and the only real ramp target I see for Crop Rotation is Krosan Verge . There's always...

Ever considered running Coercive Recruiter ? I believe all the copies see each other enter. Ah, nice catch! I actually have never seen the card before because I didn't play any commander legends. It's like a cheaper Molten Primordial . Cool. I think 5 is a smidge higher on the curve than I want to ...

FIFY

1. Hilarious (No sarcasm)
2. Being at the table while this resolves... ugh

Noble Benefactor is a may ability, so everyone would just elect not to search.

Ah, tricksy
