One of these days I'm gonna put a whole butt deck inside of those top loaders that TCGPlayer sometimes sends me 💀. Just for the looks. Maybe do a pauper deck inside for extra eye rolls. ...what's a "butt deck"? I'm pretty sure she meant "a whole-ass" deck, as in "entire&quo...

I'm not a Kaalia guy, probably won't ever be one. I just pop by occasionally to see what 3drinks is cooking. But man, I don't think I've ever told you how envious I am that you found your general and stuck with her for so long. I rarely keep a deck for more than a year, I'm always chasing a truer re...

It's good if you can break parity, but asnoted prior, that is getting harder every year

I've resolved this a few times now and I like it, but I'd check your expectations or ymmv. It doesn't grow nearly as fast as in 60 card constructed formats. If you resolve it t2, you might get 2-3 triggers by t4 in a "normal" meta. In a fast meta, it's a little better but if the body isn't...

I actually wonder if doing something different and just having your commander try to win the game for you and then everything else is interaction/draw might be a fun way to build. This is basically Dirk's Phelddagrif strategy and it extrapolates pretty well in my experience. Slap together 45 lands ...

This card is sweet. You can wrath a board of heavy hitters at the cost of a Dragon Fodder apiece or you can double your own board of critters with twice as many goons.

Zero sleeves. Not in the 90s when I started, and not now (granted IRL games are virtually non-existent for em, but no sleeved when I do get a game). They screw up the riffle shuffle with bridge too much. Once in my youth I came across two players playing a Legacy match without sleeves, no playmats,...

I played it for a bit in Davros, Dalek Creator. It's a nice option as a lord that can %$#% out its own army in a topdeck war. And yeah, as Pokken said, it kills the table with infinite mana so that's cool for the hardcore dimir players who want an Oona, Queen of the Fae analog with fewer steps.

Could even get Zur in there and.....I'm sure there's some kind of animate dead adjacent effect I can find for redundancy. Zur can get the new The Creation of Avacyn for another angle to cheat a fatty or maybe Solitary Confinement to buy time. Edit: you may also be able to set up some classic GY abu...

...I just realized Kaalia is now modern legal. I feel very strongly compelled to make this actually become a thing if for no other reason than I get to reunite Kaalia and G-Brand . 🎵reunited and it feels so gooooodddd🎵 (But also, Atraxa, Grand Unifier is coincidentally an angel and I didn't have an...

I'm unsure how lore wise Sorin creating Avacyn is a black saga. Was it not to keep order and peace in Innistrad, to fend of the darkness? Seems like white aligned Just to play Devil's Advocate for the flavor: We know Sorin is a black-aligned Planeswalker at his core. He has white leanings but at th...

I think the worst possible outcome is the return of GBx dominancein mid-lower metas. Back in the day, the best primetime play used to be to get Coffers and Urborg for an instant and near insurmountable mana advantage. Not sure if it's worse than Dockside abuse but I think we'd all agree Dockside abu...

What does everyone think about Strix Serenade? I think it's worse than Swan Song but it IS another one mana Counterspell and that ain't nothing.

See Dirk, if you never learn how to actually play the game well. Then you don't have to deal with trying to find a deck weak enough to not win against your play group like you and I. Sometimes I envy them. In theory the problem can be solved with sufficient narcotics Anytime I start winning too muc...

I hesitate to question your methods, but is cutting Scapeshift really the right answer? It's 4 mana army with fields or the commander and imho you'll get a lot more action out of it than BoP. Early you can sit on it or use it to mass crop rotate and late it's total bananas.

Phyrexian Altar would probably be insane here with the amount of tokens multiple fields will make. EDIT: Vesuva is another field and Mox Diamond might be nice too to occasionally fast-track the dredging. Oh, and how about Manabond ? It's a little tricky but it could play well with multiple cyclers ...

The card is super solid but the shroud can be annoying. When I was playing Sythis Aura Aggro, this was one of the worst creatures to get early because it can't suit up to punch face. In a more traditional enchantress deck this is best-in-class though.

The main thing holding this guy back is his inability to shoot at anything but the dome. If he could be a nigh-unkillable source of crearute removal, then he'd have a lot more utility

I kinda like cards that Incentivize playing fewer colors, but this one is too easy to play around to be all that effective.

Also, Sauron's helmet looks really stupid.

I agree and it's been bothering me for a while now. It looks stupid top-heavy and the neck strain must be enormous.

Honestly i'm really liking the jund theme being the jund shard. I have alway loved it, both tematically and mechanically. Too bad jund commander are kinda bad or boring and doesn't reflect the shard. Even the new ones we are getting in this deck are incredibly boring and don't really fit the jund t...

This card is and always has been sweet. Its competitive glory days are long gone, but not a shred of coolness has been lost to time.

This card kills you if someone else has a Smothering Tithe. That is one hell of a format-specific drawback.

In a world where Gisa, Glorious Resurrector does all the same things but for free, I can't imagine ever playing this card outside of a thematic dedication to Snow.

@pokken I'd write this clown off. They're suffering from a particularly vile lack of self-awareness. My diagnosis: it's terminal.

@xardas Get over yourself.
