So, let's say you, as the non-Rhystic player pass without doing anything. Then Rhystic passes without doing anything. If you gain no new plays that don't feed the Rhystic, do you do that again? What if you pass, and Rhystic does play something. If you don't have a new play that doesn't feed Rhystic...

Here's where I step in. Hot Take: Time Walk isn't actually a good card on it's own. It's a two mana draw a card. It gets good based on other complications on the board (combat applications, planeswalker activations, misc activated or triggered abilities) et al. Just because a card is "Power 9&...

I like that I can run it outta Kaalia and hit that person again. Finally, another case where "Flameblast Syndrome" works to my benefit.

If you have the choice between playing something an having an opponent draw a card, or playing nothing, the latter is often not the more beneficial decision for you. Do you turn Rhystic Study into an opposing Time Walk ? Here's where I step in. Hot Take: Time Walk isn't actually a good card on it's...

DiD yOu PaY tHe OnE? If we just edited that to "Can we punch you in the face?" this is a valid response too. Seriously, stop running these cards out just because you know lil jimmy will slam werewolves into it because they want to play wolves without knowing how much your stupid enchantme...

I remember back in the day when this was like drawing an extra card each turn. Man time has not been kind to this card.

I'm in the early stages of building an Orthion, Hero of Lavabrink deck, and I realized I've had an unused Braid of Fire for ages that it would be perfect for. While it'll mostly be used for Orthion's abilities, I'd really like to be able to use that mana at other points in the turn than my upkeep. ...

I've def had multiple mono-r decks. Burn based Torbran and junkyard reanimator Feldon or monkey stax with Ragavan. I'm most guilty of having multiple wedge decks though, and of course it's always Mardu.

Mono-c is another one. Guess colourless decks by nature do look a bit samey though.

...they really should put the reminder text on this complex crap so people know.

what i'm saying is that his ability is exactly what wolves want. etb time change. and how awful that is that the actual colours didn't get this mechanic where it should be, precisely because izzet doesn't care about wolves.

I hate that this is the de facto best werewolf commander with the day/night mechanic baked inside when werewolves are very definitively Gruul.

The main thing holding this guy back is his inability to shoot at anything but the dome. If he could be a nigh-unkillable source of crearute removal, then he'd have a lot more utility

Friday, May 10th 2024; Tymaret, the Murder King Tymaret, the Murder King I used to love this thing as commander in the wayback. Still kinda do as a sac outlet that can be utilized from more than just the board, it's unique in that way. Two good typings too. Wonder if it's still just as good today.

3mv rocks need pretty insane upsides for me to consider them, and while this is pretty cool, it's not enough imo.

It's an interesting struggle. Would you consider Cursed Mirror to be worth?

That's a pretty good upside for a 3mv rock, I think.

I find this, like Contamination, became far less effective once we entered the treasure meta. And I don't like that.

Still an interesting conversation to have, though.
