Why bother with Bitter Ordeal when Chain of Smog exists?

Yeah, Search for Greatness looks extremely interesting. Although, if I'm reading it correctly, you have to have a spell with a CMC exactly one greater than what you already have out. I guess by itself, it can cast a 3-drop, but hard to say how consistently that criteria will be met. Still, curving ...

Scute Swarm scales pretty quickly with itself and you're in UG, so hitting six lands won't be tough.

Still waiting to cast this in my Vilis, Broker of Blood deck.

I don't plan on taking this to a random table. I talked with my playgroup already about the idea(s) for the deck and they're fine with it. I get that it may turn out to be unplayable, but the deckbuilding challenge is too interesting to pass up and we allow proxies, so worst comes to worst I wasted ...

Forgive my ignorance, but how does Mutate work with Sarulf's ability?

Here's what I've got so far: Creatures Sakura-Tribe Elder Yavimaya Elder Slippery Bogbonder Eternal Scourge Ashaya, Soul of the Wild Timber Protector Plaguecrafter God-Eternal Rhonas God-Eternal Bontu Terastodon Eternal Witness Greenwarden of Murasa Skullwinder Dirge Bat Gemrazer Sawtusk Demolisher ...

I was thinking about Eternal Scourge because I love me some Food Chain . Could be fun to pair with Maga, Traitor to Mortals ? Would give an alternate way to knock out a player should commander damage get stonewalled. The ability counters from Ikoria are also something I've thought about exploring as...

So, Golgari is my favorite color combo and Fenrir is my favorite mythological figure. I don't have a concrete idea for a direction to take the deck in, so I figured I would consult the sages of Nexus for assistance. I play in a 75%-ish meta, so please keep that in mind when making suggestions. Other...

On topic, my friend and I did a jumpstart-esque quick deck build from his Legends boxes. Tevesh Svat dominates games, especially 1v1. I won way more games than I should have thanks to the dirty worm.

You could run her for the colors/tribe. A friend tried to build her as a cascade deck and was less than impressed, but red gives you a lot of shamans and things like Mindmoil and Possibility Storm to work with your theme.

Maybe Averna, the Chaos Bloom? When I started building Archelos, I explored a shaman theme, but found that most of the best shamans are red, with green coming in second. Cascading could be the escalation of a psychedelic experience to the breakthrough point?

Loving these suggestions. Paradise Mantle will be his drug rug. Freed From the Real, Aura of Dominion and Pemmin's Aura are already in, as is Spring Leaf Drum (drum circle, anyone?). I'll start assembling a list today. If you don't have a list yet, you can take a look at mine. I went heavy control ...

Brewing up a Kodama of the East Tree and Toggo, Goblin Weaponsmith combo lands build. Run some Seismic Assault style effects, Surly Badgersaur...Should be dumb and fun.

In coming up with brews for Archelos, Lagoon Mystic I started tinkering with a shaman tribal deck. I decided to go in the direction of BUG control, as my playgroup is more competitive, but I still want to put together a shaman list as well. In thinking about themes, shamans are often associated with...

This guy is going to fall by the wayside, as he should because he is so weird, but Gor Muldrak, Amphinologist is a neat flavorful card to see. This poor guy has been warning us about a salamander-person uprising since 2011 (reminding us three years later), but luckily he is quite prepared and will ...

Krark seems real fun in Kykar...

Are you purposefully excluding dualcaster mage?

I have a mono-black suicide deck with Vilis, Broker of Blood at the helm that is pretty fun.

See the Truth looks absolutely insane with Eye of the Storm and/or Possibility Storm in a spell-slinging deck. I'd drop Ponder for that potential upside in a slower meta. EDIT: Village Rites is the new best instant sacrifice for card draw. It's a good enabler for decks like Rayami, First of the Fal...

Wizards: we know there's a pandemic going on and millions of people are out of work and are struggling to cover basic costs, but here's yet ANOTHER luxury set! Feel better everyone! There is no reason that they couldn't slow the pace of releases/announce delays. I know they're a company and they hav...

I don't play jeskai so I can resolve 7 mana spells anyhow, to be honest. It's not really what the wedge wants to do except in certain conditions. Trust me, I'm ecstatic with the trade-off of "you get a crap ultimatum... But here's whirlwind of thought ." I agree with tstorm823 : looking f...

Oh, wow, that Cathartic Reunion is so nice. Both versions are. What a terrific card.

That also plays well with our discard-favorable set!

Nice? The guy catches the dinosaur in a pokèball and then they give each other hungry eyes. Nothing nice about it. Pure romance.

Wizards needs to include hi-res images of the art in their announcements. It's completely unacceptable that I need to wait in line on the drop site to see decent quality images of a product they're trying to convince me to buy.
