Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
I think I might have inadvertently discovered our next "film buffs vs philistines" argument: anyone else seen "Poor Things"? I wouldn't say I HATED it - it was better than "The Lobster", though that bar is so low it's in hell - but I didn't enjoy it and I definitely wo...

Re: Killian, Ink Duelist - Auras & Instants
Very cool deck, Ruiner . At first glance at least I have a few questions/comments. In light of Kilian having Menace, is protection from creatures doing that much for you? I like Spirit Mantle for the efficiency and Unquestioned Authority for the card draw (especially if I can repeat it with cards l...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Animal Friend
I could see running this in many Voltron style decks just because it is a cheap source of token generation. Having cheap disposable chump blockers for a voltron deck can be rather handy, as at least in my experience I don't tend to want to throw away my few creatures I am running. It's also rather h...

Re: Killian, Ink Duelist - Auras & Instants
Have some quick changes from the recent Fallout set: Added Cards [/u] +1 Idolized - This is cheap and should significantly increase Killian's clock.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
I've got a Zareth San, the Trickster deck, that's got a rogues and theft theme to it. That new Tiny bones is a great addition for the 99. He basically does what the commander does but not for free. Should be fun.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Pariah
Never really got the flavor here. Why would an outcast be taking your damage for you? Shouldn't it be "loyal bodyguard" or something? Iconic effect though. Maybe as the outcast, the pariah takes all of the blame and suffers the worst because of it? This card and similar effects can defini...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
Yes Man, Personal Securitron has a pretty fun design. I can definitely see some neat politicking moves with it, whether in the 99 or as a commander. It's not exactly powerful, but it is neat.
Silver Shroud Costume seems very playable, and the quest for it in Fallout 4 was really cool.

Re: Killian, Ink Duelist - Auras & Instants
I've added Unexplained Absence to my list as well. One mana to exile two creatures and a nonland permanent seems legit :-) Should end up being [sym=1][sym=w], it costs [sym=3][sym=w] originally and Killian reduces it by [sym=2]. Killian doesn't reduce the spell cost by 2 per creature targetted.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Helm of the Host
I'm not a huge fan of this in Blue Decks as things like Sakashima the Impostor and other clone effects are generally far more efficient.
For non-blue decks though, it is pretty neat. I don't have any decks that it would be particularly useful in at the moment but it's a fun card.

A quick update to the deck due to our latest murder mystery set: Added Cards [/u] +1 Unexplained Absence - This seems fairly solid. With Killian in play, as long as you target at least one creature, it feels like this does some significant work for just [sym=w][sym=1]. Giving your opponent(s) potent...

I wouldn't be so worried about ol' Grizzlebee as a commander, as you have to for the most part just play him for his cost and are limited to just black cards, I'm sure it'd still be a super strong deck though.

Wednesday, January 31st, 2024; Alchemist's Refuge Alchemist's Refuge|lcc This should basically be an auto-include in most decks that can run it. I've seen this do some random unexpected out of nowhere stuff. Even just the ability to "end of your turn, play my creatures" makes it worthwhile.

Re: SlimeAgainstHumanity.dec AKA Goobert's Revenge
Is Manaplasm locked in as the commander?
I think Tasigur, the Golden Fang might be pretty sweet and still in the same color combination. He'd let you (hopefully) keep recasting copies of your ooze maker, and enables putting copies into your grave/exile.
