Re: Grothama, All-Devouring - The Maw of Oblivion
Won the one game I played yesterday. ESG let me activate Archdruid's Charm on my opponent's end step to grab Surrak and Goreclaw for a game-ending Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant. I'm pretty proud of my use of removal, I stopped myself from losing to commander damage by destroying a Field-Tested Frying Pan ...

Re: Grothama, All-Devouring - The Maw of Oblivion
Hey Terrone! Your list looks great! All the flex slots are admirable choices that I don't object to in any way. I wish I had some suggestions for you but at the moment I don't! Squirrel, ESG is a new add for me, I'm trying it out; so far she hasn't done a ton for me but it's been two games since the...

Re: Grothama, All-Devouring - The Maw of Oblivion
I'm having a though slowly bubbling up here. Recently I discovered that this deck is a little overtuned for the playgroup I just started spending time with. I'm thinking about assembling a power up/down board; I am too competitive to genuinely make the decision to cut Mana Crypt, but a sideboard whe...

Re: Grothama, All-Devouring - The Maw of Oblivion
Ugh, I hate Universes Beyond, but have you SEEN Power Fist ? Trample and increasing amounts of +1/+1 counters seems like a good thing. That does look very good... Hmm. I'm immediately a little bit off-put by it and I'm not entirely certain why; UB doesn't bother me quite as much, or at least it has...

Re: Grothama, All-Devouring - The Maw of Oblivion
Did we talk about our mutual Redwall childhood pasttime?? Because I spent a ton of time as a young girl reading and rereading Taggerrung. It's strange, I feel like it's been seconds since Murder at Karlov Manor came out, and yet there's no previews for the next set to talk about. Sights for this dec...

Murder at Karlov Manor Set Review Gonna be brief with this, because as usual there is very little to talk about (what, we don't get a bunch of new toys in the Sherlock Holmes set?).

Game report from tonight, and Kyoshiro , I think you might find this interesting. Someone targets my Greater Good with an exile effect.

Re: Grothama, All-Devouring - The Maw of Oblivion
Archdruid's Charm is a slamdunk, isn't it? It does absolutely everything. It's just NEVER dead. Hmmm... I do rather like that. I'm not particularly impressed by any individual piece at that price but it feels like the flexibility raises it a bit in my estimation. The one thing that I wish is that i...

Re: Grothama, All-Devouring - The Maw of Oblivion
So how do the discard animals work for you ( Wild Mongrel and Noose Constrictor )? I they can frow to enourmous sizes, but only after we killed Grothama. I have found recently that there have been a few times where I needed to use them to discard down so that my Rishkar's Expertise didn't deck me b...

Re: Grothama, All-Devouring - The Maw of Oblivion
I'm a bit anxious to leave home without a mass removal. Maybe I can find a slot. Hot did Green Slime work for you? It feels really niche compared to other options. And does Rhonas's Monument really pull it's weight? We are really really hard up for mass removal; for awhile I was trying nonsense lik...

Re: Grothama, All-Devouring - The Maw of Oblivion
I have a question about Kozilek: Can the deck support the double colorless cost on a regular basis? If so, it looks like an absolute blast. Yes, absolutely! In fact, I don't think I've played a game where I haven't gotten the double colorless in time to cast her (although realistically I'm pretty r...

You are telling me that there is a deck, where I can play my old favourite Mossbridge Troll and it's actually great? Whoa!

Re: Grothama, All-Devouring - The Maw of Oblivion
Thanks a lot! I will look into it and try to brew a list! Here's a quick and dirty attempt at making it budget. It's going to be budget by my standards, so it'll probably still be a couple hundred bucks and not truly slashed down to like $50, but I'm cutting a bunch of expensive stuff. Here we go: ...

Re: Grothama, All-Devouring - The Maw of Oblivion
Cards I'm Considering Cutting Birthing Pod - A touch too restrictive, in my opinion; the ladder isn't as well defined as I'd like, either. Just isn't as exciting as it used to be and puts people on guard. Sasaya, Orochi Ascendant // Sasaya's Essence - Surprisingly difficult to flip, even given how o...

Re: Grothama, All-Devouring - The Maw of Oblivion
I picked up a copy of The Skullspore Nexus last night 🖤 I'm hoping I get to take it out for a spin today. I want to take a second to pitch Elvish Spirit Guide .

Re: Grothama, All-Devouring - The Maw of Oblivion
Late to the party, ALTHOUGH I picked up Ghalta in my LCI prerelease pack, so that's fun! Still looking for Skullspore Nexus. I think I might actually cut Tooth and Nail for Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant , because besides the fact that it's been literal years since I cast the card, it feels like it's kinda...

Re: Grothama, All-Devouring - The Maw of Oblivion
Lil thoughts update: I know we have varying opinions on Universes Beyond cards, but The Foretold Soldier might be worth testing out. I think it still might not be quite good enough, but being able to recast it for 2 on subsequent turns is appealing. It feels like best case scenario we get this turn ...

Regardless, let's hope we can snag copies/that the price tag doesn't remain at $60 like the preorders are currently selling for.

Re: Grothama, All-Devouring - The Maw of Oblivion
The Skullspore Nexus is a card that's coming out soon in Lost Caverns of Ixalan, and I'm kind of fascinated by it. So, let's look at this from a cost perspective. With Grothama in play, this is a 4 mana power doubler for one creature. Like God-Eternal Rhonas, it doesn't touch the creature's toughne...

Re: Grothama, All-Devouring - The Maw of Oblivion
Feral Encounter : Another Fight card, although this one's a Bite card. Not bad for 2 mana - if you have no board but you have mana, you can (hopefully) dig for some fat. If you have a board, you can just bottom all 5 cards and bite a problematic creature. Here you go @Kyra Warsong , an answer to Pe...

Re: Grothama, All-Devouring - The Maw of Oblivion
Thoughts on cards I'm interested in cutting Yeva, Nature's Herald : Everyone is probably aware how much I love casting at instant speed, but it kinda seems like Yeva is a little slow and often irrelevant. Broodhatch Nantuko : Despite the fun Insect interaction with Grothama, Broodhatch is in a weird...

Re: Grothama, All-Devouring - The Maw of Oblivion
Took Grothama out for a spin this afternoon! It was so much fun, I got in five games, three of which I won! Some impressions/stories: Consulate Dreadnought is just delightful. Boost it with Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma or sac Grothama to High Market after combat. I played it early in every game, an...

Re: Grothama, All-Devouring - The Maw of Oblivion
I think Mithril Coat... Might actually be worth a slot. I remember cutting Darksteel Plate ages ago because the cost was so bloated, but shortcutting that with the Coat seems like it might soften that cost enough to try it. Also I imagine that card is going to appreciate in value like Lightning Grea...
