Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Carnage Tyrant

I cut it from Xenagod. For a time it was really good at being difficult to stop, but it still takes 3 attacks to do lethal. I need more firepower than this. I probably only have access to 3 good attacks per game.

Any room for twinflame or heat shimmer type cards in the deck for budget purposes perhaps?
There are plenty of good budget fatties that are still pretty good that you can use instead.

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread

I'm so used to seeing people copy my signature deck that I have multiple locals doing it.

Anyway, formats have been getting solved too quickly since RTR. This process has only accelerated.

What a time we have come to, with Malignus departing Xenagod. That said he is technically just an unevasive walker :P
He is the last of the initial 2014 suite of fatties. How things have changed.

Re: Favorite strategy in the format?

Either super efficient snowball machines or weird constrained ideas that a color combination is not particularly known for.

Combos generally avoided but not disdained if unique enough.

Durdling I avoid unless my poor draws give me no choice.

Re: Xenagos, God of 2x Beatdown

+Bloodthirster

- Malignus

Outside of gnawbone loops, bloodthirster is the single strongest source of damage in this deck. In a 4 player game it will do 12+24+48 damage, one shotting a target, and only getting better with player count.

Bloodthirster is absolutely terrifying in Xenagod decks.
Where isn't it terrifying? Probably just, like, my binder.
Most of them probably can't do a total of 74 haste damage with no other support in a table of 4.

Re: Marchesa, the Black Rose: Affinity

Rose Room doesn't exist in the same universe. Correct. A different universe I put forward 😛 I've found I get into situations where I can sacrifice creatures on each person's turn and get them back for an impact. With Rose Room Treasurer, that would be 4-8 Treasures and you can do that with very few...

Re: Xenagos, God of 2x Beatdown

I swapped a Forest for Boseiju, no real surprise there.

However, the newly spoiled PW of the summer supplemental set is legitimately good here. I will be running it, and it will likely stay in the list.

Re: Is White getting better?

White right now is basically where red was 10 years ago. When development decided that red was too much of a one-trick color and decided to expand its color pie with looting. I consider Faithless Looting the second most important red card in magic because this started this trend of giving red more s...

Re: Why Ruination is my least favorite card

mass land destruction is just... not good these days. Not a good design, nor actually effective at power levels that warrant it. I do like From the Ashes , but that card actually can be net mana positive when played strategically, which is the only reason why I could consider it any good, but even t...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Cranial Plating

This thing is much less of a beatdown card as a combo piece to go with Marionette Master or Inkmoth Nexus . While the latter will only kill 1 player, the former will absolutely wipe a table in very short order. Even if my Marchesa affinity deck almost never wins via combat anymore, this equipment st...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Master of Cruelties

Effectively a one-shot in certain decks, but I am no stranger to cards that are so synergistic in a particular deck that they can one-shot with ease. This one being ineffective against people with ground blockers makes it much more fair than it would look. The holy grail of one-shotting creatures of...

Re: Color Combo Popularity

Another thing I would like to mention about UW in particular is that you have a serious win condition problem. Even if you're trying to annoy the table with our good friend the Grand Arbiter, you still find that without some kind of compact combo, your ability to win is glacially slow. Even among co...

Oh yeah, I did forget to mention Enthusiastic Mechanaut . Well, I could have played Etherium Sculptor for years, so why didn't I do it until now? Well. 2 reasons. 1) Cheap artifact count is going up and I consider Birgi to be a stronger card 2) Mechanaut flies, meaning it is much easier to attack wi...
