Re: Aether Rift [scd]

You could replace lot of lands with land cyclers like Chartooth Cougar and that way reduce the chance of missing with the rift. Play a deck with like 25 real lands.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Helm of the Host

Helm is one of my favorite cards. It evokes this classic edh feel where you play this "do nothing" -card that some how provides massive value and wins you the game.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Eye of the Storm

I thought of a funny idea that you put armageddon in the storm and then don't cast the spell. You can now just threaten people with armageddon with a random instant if people attack you or harm your board position. Put in a planar cleansing variant too to really up the ante.

Block any number and banding

If I have a creature with "can block any number of creatures" and another with banding how do they interact with each other?

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Fall of the Thran

One of my favorite white cards. I have foil one that I opened up in prerelease and I'm running it in a selvala armageddon list. Fall has couple of advantages over armageddon. First it's an enchantment, a card type white has more synergy with (eg. tutors) and you can do cool tricks like loop it with ...

Wandering Throne is just...wow. I'm surprised at the rate.
Isn't this insanely busted? You don't even need to play a tribal deck to get insane value. Just choose your commander and double all the triggers it gets.

And it's an (un)common?

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Vanquisher's Banner

I'm not a huge fan of these kind of effects. Not only "do a thing draw a card" is pretty lame but they are kind trap cards. People think this provides card advantage but actually doesn't. At least you get some immediate value with the anthem.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Gnostro, Voice of the Crags

I've never seen this card being cast but it doesn't seem terrible. Sure the ability seems kinda random for a storm payoff but I don't think the value is bad if you only get like x=2-3 each turn cycle.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Kaya, Ghost Assassin

I just can't take Kaya seriously. If I was looking to hire an assassin I would not hire somebody who specialiazes in killing dead people. You don't need to kill dead people because they are already dead. If she is a ghost then that means she failed her last job and is permanently retired. She also h...

Re: Who wants to talk about spite scooping?

I really don't care what your stance on spite scooping is but everybody does it. Even the ones who say that they don't. The only difference between people who openly spite spite scoop and "scoop only as a sorcery" crowd is that spite scoopers are honest about it.

Ban ramp.
That is rather extreme approach :?


It also works. Ramp is like a gateway drug to degenerate things. Things are lot more fair when people cast a 5 mana spell for 5 mana on turn 5.

Soldevi Sentry

Soldevi Sentry

Oracle text:
{1}: Choose target opponent. Regenerate Soldevi Sentry. When it regenerates this way, that player may draw a card.
Does the regeneration "shield" need to go off in order for the opponent to draw a card?

Re: I HATE Triumph of the Hordes

I think fogs are very underrated. I've been playing various kinds of turbo fog lists and I've had great success with them. Most decks primary wincon is combat dmg and if you take that out they kinda have nothing left.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Kuon, Ogre Ascendant

It doesn't look too bad. It should be fairly trivial to flip this and the effect is quite potent. It's just annoying to play with these flip cards. Just reading the card is annoying.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Kuon, Ogre Ascendant

Kuon, Ogre Ascendant
{B}{B}{B}
Legendary Creature — Ogre Monk

At the beginning of the end step, if three or more creatures died this turn, flip Kuon, Ogre Ascendant.

2/4
Kuon's Essence
Legendary Enchantment

At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player sacrifices a creature.

I got this idea of running a turbo fog list that fogs during my own combat. Basically I attack with creatures which opponent will try to block.

I've been playing various Turbofog lists for a year now and Tangle kinda sucks. It is very common for opponents to attack and then cast more creatures in second main.
