I don't think I can afford pseudomoat. I miss when trash cards on the reserved list didnt cost 60$.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Well, you can cast the living death/warp world yourself, that seems like worst case scenario (at 8+ mana).

Re: Commander format and the Brothers Yamazaki

They are legally one card, as they have the same name, so it's a definite rule 0 area

Alternatively red has a few temporary clone effects, though you're in deep Johnny territory if you're trying to pull them out on a Yamazaki in the 99.

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

My incredibly fun and social bag of tricks was Jolrael, Empress of Beasts and Pernicious Deed and then who cares. Maelstrom Archangel ? Some answers?

Re: Warhammer 40K, Lord of the Rings, and other IPs in Magic.

It's so weird to me that they're doing warhammer 40k and not warhammer. Warhammer is pretty close to shadows over innistrad in terms of theme, it has 10 winds of magic that could probably be mapped to colors, it has skaven that could be relentless ratted. 40k has psychers and glassing planets from o...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Wasitora, Nekoru Queen

I briefly thought about building her with phantom tiger, Mirri the Cursed, Dreadmalkin, etc, you get the idea... but like many joke theme terrible decks i never got around to it.

Re: Kaldheim - What is your take?

My big concern is how ubiquitous snow will likely be from here on in. There's no reason not to just swap out basics for snow basics more or less everywhere. This is why desert needs to be a supertype, along with desert mana and you know, sand-covered plains et al, so you have to make a choice! (I'm...

Re: How to beat FOTD?

At some point, I feel like you've just to to drop sadistic sacrament and friends played as early as possible to take the pet combo away. Alternatively, waaaayyy more nonbasic land hate than you're playing? Ruination them fools and their seven lands with different names.

The thing that makes farfinder a cut above the rest is it enables that most crucial of abilities, fox offering, which is very important in patron of the kitsune decks.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Cosima, God of the Voyage came so close to me caring. If it didn't have to hit the table first, and then survive a turn cycle, it might actually be worth playing. It could have had 2U: Exile from hand. Instead it's an instant hard pass. Sad. Oh my, she's speedboat tribal, I love her. And I'm pretty...

Re: Navigating players' pet peeves...

The first guy I'm 90% sure is doing it intentionally to try to convince people not to target him, Oh my gosh this is my pet peeve. Creating social static to make your permanents harder to target, because if you answer another player's permanents you don't get as much whining. This has led to anothe...

Re: Navigating players' pet peeves...

To be generous to your opponents, perhaps people were just frustrated in general and that bled into the game? Being upset about mill and then milling someone to death is a bit nonsensical, to the point i might be blaming it on covid/2020 making everyone more than reasonably irritable. (Not to mentio...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Last Stand

I love this card and will never regret casting it, and I'm sad the Commander meta has probably wildly outgrown its power level. My first deck when I got back into magic 10 years ago was a kitchen table five color semihighlander whatever-looks-cool deck, with maelstrom archangel , coalition victory ,...

Probably an exercise in futility but I'm determined to make Radiant, Serra Archangel work. Until today I figured the best partner for her was Siani, Eye of the Storm but what do people think of Gilanra, Caller of Wirewood ? Gives you the ramp from green and a small payoff with card draw.

Uhhh do Sakashima of a Thousand Faces and Kodama of the East Tree interact? So that if you play, say, a 3-cmc drop, you get a trigger from kodada, a trigger from fake kodama, use the trigger from kodama, which then triggers fake kodama, use the trigger from fake kodama which then triggers sakashima ...

Hullbreacher is a type of card I immediately love because I think it's made to combat excess card advantage and then I remember it's in the color of wheels and prosperity.

Re: What bothers you most about the Walking Dead commanders?

I think what bothers me most is that... this is the type of thing we'd normally see on someone's The Walking Dead fansite forums or whatnot, and it'd be good for a "that's neat!" reaction. Maybe some people play with custom commanders, as well? And it's taking something that's neat homemad...
