Okay, another try at this to improve mana fixing, lessen slow lands, and lower the dragon curve significantly. Blasphemous Act is in place of Tiamat in case I have the wrathful red dragon in play as a finisher. I'll get that more often than casting Tiamat. Dungeons and Dragons Sorceries 1 Blasphemou...

How warping is too warping? My regular group is very casual. You can still run Zurgo Helmsmasher or a non-competitive Prime Speaker Zegana simic deck and be fine, most of the time. So, my friend's son recently released Koma, Cosmos Serpent , and it's a highly-supported 99, so Koma is annoyingly hard...

Fair, but that just means your group is more competitive than mine.

Xenagos + Malignus + OG Nylea + Defense of the Heart = alpha strike from hell. You have Xenagos, so search the other two. I used that recently, hit a friend for 44 trample. Next turn hit the next friend for 37, and then the following turn the next friend for 56. Stupid levels of stoopid. :grin: Savi...

Vorthos as a player type is hard. All these Timmies running around with BFGs, Spikes using railguns to 1-shot-kill you...and all you want to do is kill one person, just one, in a bunny suit, because there's a story to that. What's a devoted Vorthos to do? Ever been there? I try to avoid it, but I do...

I like sticking to archetypes for most decks. It gives you a lot of resources to make a deck and have fun. But sometimes... SOMETIMES I don't. Take this idea here. Blue is good at patient draw-go, counters, permission, you get the idea. Normally, blue doesn't go all-aggro with nary a counter in the ...

Laurel: "Izzet Gandalf?" Hardy: "Is what Gandalf?" Laurel: "No, Izzet Gandalf?" Hardy: "I don't know, is it?" Laurel: "That's what I'm asking you!" Hardy: "What is it you're talking about?" Laurel: "...wh...mmmm mmmm" <starts chew...

I play Delver in a mono-blue aggro as fast beaters. What do you do with them?

I'm assuming Sneak is Sneak Attack…what's the breach?

Heh, like any "can't miss" engine, the Scrying Sheets misses more than I like to admit, but when it works, it's a thing of beauty.

Sweet, I'll check those out. Thank you.

While a sandwurm about to eat the Baron Harkonnen (Kenneth McMillan) from the David Lynch movie on a card would bring me no amount of endless joy, my real life is so stupid right now, I'm going to stick a pin in that offer. A friend has done something similar, though. That film had such an iconic lo...

How has this played for you in games so far? I don't have much to add personally, as I'm not the most tuned in Commander pilot, and my group has largely moved on from voltron decks. I do, however, find the deck theme entertaining. I played a lot of Street Fighter 2 back in the day. Do you run into p...

With the release of the new movies…anyone got functional upgrade suggestions that still tightly fit in the Dune franchise theme?

What's your budget? Do you have these cards already? I can make suggestions but some more info would help :+1: Oh, forgot to answer this question. Not looking more than about $300 total landed costs, so Serra's Sanctum is automatically out. Lol. :rofl: And I do have some, but a lot of it I do not o...

First off to everyone who responded, thank you. I have some reactions, though there is far too much to cover in one response, and I'll be thinking a lot about the advice. I appreciate the time you took. The average cost of your cards is about 4 mana, which means that until you get 8 mana sources you...

I like that I got a lot of good card suggestions for a Boros token matters deck featuring Karlach, Fury of Avernus and Inspiring Leader . The idea is to build my board, and then nuke theirs while I keep mine. The problem is that I literally have an extra 50 cards to trim to get to a final, testable ...

Another one of my decks is actually Modern legal. It involves using 3 mv transmute cards to get Thraben Doomsayer and Intruder Alarm . That one probably sounds unfun too. Another of my decks might look a little more fun. It's the one where the goal is to enchant Serra Avatar with Armadillo Cloak . ...

Here is my all-creature elemental deck, and it is one of my two-favorite decks. I posted this in the rainbow topic, but it's also all-creature, so it fits in both. It's been nicknamed by a friend as "the machine", which cracks me up. It is all-creatures and goes all-in for creature synergy...

Here is my all-creature elemental deck. It is all-creatures and goes all-in for creature synergy. Lorwyn elementals were just, in a word, stupid. Which makes for a great tribal deck. :rofl: The Banneret gets the Smokebraider more often than any other card. The Thunderkin Awakener , along with the Re...

I don't think I have a "sucker punch" Casual-60 deck; rather, I think that's more my speed for Legacy.

I can see that. I read a couple of your Legacy primer placeholder posts.

I believe the card to which you were referring was Timesifter!

Yup

Yeah, I get that. Only one other guy in my group even tries to make rainbow.

My Tyranid deck has all creatures except for Hardened Scales. Does that count? Haha, that's kinda like my treefolk deck. Close counts. Funny fact: I named the deck "Isengard's Bane", way back at Lorwyn, long before a LotR deck was even an idea. And the mono-green portions of that Lorwyn s...

I was going to suggest Xenagos, God of Revels, but Pokken already suggested. U/G shenangans in the 99 are easy with Prime Speaker Zegana. Just cast and draw a bunch. By the time she's dead, you've probably dropped two more lands for the next tax payment.

I like multiplayer casual games. Star with killing the two opposite from you, Kill the person to your left and right, Free-for-All, Free-for-All Highlife, 2-Headed Giant, Emperor's (homebrewed variant), etc. Early days of Magic: The Gathering in stores often ended up in 6-10 players rather than a bu...
