I almost died last weekend. Had an experienced/rusty student getting back in the saddle. After a few passes, managed to get a good approach. Touched down fine. Told him to put the power back in for a touch and go...and he applied no rudder (or maybe the wrong rudder considering how quickly things w...

How budget are we going? "5c g " is typically the de facto response to this style of question. Top of my head, I might lean; Cmd Twr Exotic Orchard Path of Ancestry Grand Coliseum (city of brass is like $15 for...reasons) Reflecting Pool is pretty cheap pending version This is a pretty al...

I used to have Jaya Ballard, Task Mage and Lovisa Coldeyes decks that were completely different. Off the top of my head I could have easily had goblins and artifacts decks with minimal overlap.

Does your playgroup allow for "outside the game" concepts for Fae of Wishes // Granted , Wish , Burning Wish ? Have you thought about doing custom proxies for each card? So you can use an online website to make up the cards with your characters and they have the "alternative names&qu...

Even though you say the theme doesn't dictate your mana, the 99 still matters a lot. How many early plays are necessary and is that skewed to particular colors? My 5-color Niv-Mizzet Reborn deck doesn't have any plays until turn three so I can afford quite a few tapped lands. Most decks have some t...

3bb is a pretty solid rate to just win the game

I'm currently working on a 5c mana base. Every other time I've built 5c I've had some guidance on the lands that I put into it. A pile of typal lands for my Changeling deck. All the bounce lands for my dredge deck. All dual face cards for my esika. Once I have those slots taken up the rest of the la...

Duel Decks Series: BRed Wort vs Tivadar of Thorn, when?

Sign me up. The winner might surprise you!

Seriously it might, Tivadar of Thorn can't beat a Goblin Chirurgeon.

I tried to run this in my Changeling deck for recursion but it was just too slow. I have a hard imagining running this as an actual goblin commander over some of the mono-R options.

@pokken
In your user control panel there's a "board preferences tab"
In there is a "Allow users to send you private messages:"

xD I can't respond at the moment

Some new cards just dropped. Urza's Cave looks just absurdly strong

Wonderful. Before I forget, what's the combo with Remembrance ? The idea was "trigger on the stack", shuffle the creature back into your library with Mistveil Plains . I'm not sure that I ever actually got to do that, so I cut it a while ago. Man that's just the best flavor of stupid thou...

@pokken You still living a few hours away from Cleveland? I still think it'd be cool to meet up sometime. Yep! Actually just rode the train through there :D I'm in Erie (although Chicago for work this week). Got some cool early dawn shots of what I believe to be the Sandusky lake shore I should try...

So yeah, Nxyborn Ancient is :poop: here, if that is taken as a personal attack and all the other suggestions therefore ignored, that is fine by me, but I disagree--> it is worth protecting newer players and being disingenious about that ala "netdecker playing vs cedh, their fault" is pret...

Not sure what your problem is. I stand by my comments on some of the worst choises, would be rather pathetic to walk that back just to appease anyone. Like I said those comments were NOT to your benefit. Not sure why that concept is to hard to grasp or why making obvious noob traps clear is To your...

How updated is this through the most recent sets? I want to run this through MPC and stick the it in my collection. Such a randomly specific card that's hilariously relevant. Here's my current list. https://aetherhub.com/Deck/tivadar-slayer-of-goblins It's mostly up to date. It is for sure getting ...

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 har...

My wife has no interest in learning Magic The Gathering. Although, admittedly I haven't really tried particularly hard to get her to learn. To be honest, I think there are just much better games than MtG so we play those instead. I more play MtG to have something in common with my brother and to kee...

@materpillar In terms of the 3 cards in question, yes, once the first copy of Deluge resolves and you cast one of the Epic spells, you are done. The other spells can no longer be cast because Epic prevents it. Copying a card and casting the copy is still casting. You would need something like Hive ...

Surge to Victory Can we think of any cards that give this kind of stupid effect along with some pump? I'm not having any luck, and I'm also struggling with super powerful hits for this outside of just comboing with Seize the Day or something. :D Eternal Dominion . If you want to go peak ridiculous,...

This is a fun conversation. I'm glad I put the deck together, it's making this a lot more interesting to talk about. 😍 1) "isn't as worrying" doesn't really sell me. I'd allow that giving one or maybe even two opponents lands could be a correct play in certain circumstances, but boosting ...

I'm often tempted to build a deck with her as the general but I already have 3 5c decks I love. Also, Slivers are super boring to pilot and I don't want to build her as just a combo piece. So I'm kinda left in this vague uninspired area. But she cool. >:( Who says you need 5c slivers? The Sliver Qu...

Monday, April 15th 2024; Sliver Queen Sliver Queen ...No one is spending $300usd on a physical version of this, right? I certainly hope not. I mean I spent like $20 on one a decade ago? I'm often tempted to build a deck with her as the general but I already have 3 5c decks I love. Also, Slivers are...
