Re: Zedruu the Greatest of All Time

I don't mean "arbitrarily" as an insult, I just mean that the rules genuinely provide no answer to the question, there is no guidance or precedent, it is a completely open decision. From Matt Tabak (former rules manager), specifically about this situation: https://twitter.com/WotC_Matt/st...

Re: Zedruu the Greatest of All Time

I've been looking for an alternative to Pandemonium, because it usually sits in my hand unless I have the rest of a combo... First thing that comes to mind is Warstorm Surge for avoiding the symmetry of Pandemonium . That makes a 2-card infinite flicker combo. As well as the other combos you listed...

Re: Zada: Grinding up an Arcane Storm

One thing I'd like to mention is that in high power / cEDH, you may be more likely to run into countermagic in addition to spot removal. Can't cast Deflecting Swat for free to stop Zada from being countered (and spending 2r is probably undesirable), though Ricochet Trap would likely only cost r . St...

Also, have you come across any 4+ card combos that require a Zedruu activation? I'm aware of the couple with Dissipation Field , and the Sacred Ground + Price of Glory , as well as the Archetype of Imagination + Luminous Broodmoth . But there must be more floating around, no?

I bet they're not even keeping track of how many potential players they've turned away because the cap was "filled". That'll bite them and lose them money instead of making a little.

I built her recently as combat wincon oriented. There's a little infect in it but not much, so things like Scytheclaw ( Quietus Spike is also common but I don't have one), Notorious Throng , Stolen Identity , and Psychosis Crawler can speed things up.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Oppression

I loved running Oppression in Chainer, Dementia Master . Chainer needs time to get enough mana on board to start doing things, and this often had the "virtual CA" effect of slowing my opponents tempo because they didn't want to lose cards, but I do want some of my cards in the yard so it's...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Riftsweeper

I've had Riftsweeper in my Spider Spawning deck ever since I 'netdecked' it from BDM because there's some flashback stuff and potential for graveyard getting wiped. I'm not sure I've ever really used it, though.

Would it be better if we renamed this subformat? No, I don't think it would help. is there a way to change the community's negative views? There is probably a small group of loud haters.

So, how is everyone? Did you start playing in person with friends again? My regular playgroup has regrouped (pun intended) and the flame has been rekindled.

Re: Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist // Reyhan, Last of the Abzan - Enchantress with Auras

This is a really cool deck. I'd completely forgotten about Reyhan as a possible partner. Did you pick her just because she was cheaper than Ikra Shidiqi ? I'm not seeing any particular +1/+1 synergies. There's a spoiler segment in the How To Win section that basically says Reyhan is mostly just for...

Re: Queen Breena's Full Contact Politics

Top plus fetches is a dig 3 yeah. I think of it basically as a card that lets me keep 2 landers with a fetch, since my odds of hitting my third land are extremely high, but it's also really good late game when I'm crucible-fetching. I don't think either card is good enough without the fetch suite. ...

Re: Zada: Grinding up an Arcane Storm

Hey everyone, How relevant could FORK be in our deck? Or reverberate… I'd say only as a protective trick (similar to Deflecting Swat ). It'd mostly be used to copy a spell that is not targeting Zada to get extra value - and in that sense it could be quite meta-dependent on what spells of your oppon...
