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...

Little bit of a bumpy bump here. Just updated the list. Some notable cards. Mnemonic Deluge - Might be too strong/unfun. Hitting Rise of the Eldrazi isn't a fantastic play pattern for my opponents. On the watchlist Who // What // When // Where // Why is a 13cmc disenchant so that's neat! Makes the d...

So it puts people in a position where taking any poison where taking any poison whatsoever could kill them in ways they can't realistically prevent, which means if they have a slower plan they're obliged to interact with this strategy on turn 2, or 1 on the draw. That's pretty obnoxious imo. 3drink...

"Optimal play pattern" is extremely subjective and meta dependent here. For example, I think this decks winrate goes up pretty dramatically if your opponents find Cabal Coffers + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth so you can reverberate their X spells. I guess if you know their decks well enough th...

Rampaging Brontodon I think has a floor as 21/21 roughly, right? Since it'd double to 14 then swing and get +7 for 21? Assuming I cast it off lands. I think it's *good* but probably not quite there for what I'm looking for. Definitely worth having on the backburner though. Ah, you're right. I was t...

How the f uck has actually nobody here or in the "old" topic talked about Anzrag, the Quake-Mole ? It is basically the best creature ever printed for Xenagos. It is an basically a 4 Mana unblockable 16 damage. With Xenagos buff he is beafy enough to attack into someone who would be foolis...

I have no experience with this card. Isn't it fairly popular? Looks fair but annoying as random poison tends to be.

Rumpy5897 . You've inspired me Toshi Excited to see my meta blow your brain https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/807522660820975626/1228183915236167700/Meta_Tierlist.png?ex=662b1e67&is=6618a967&hm=280b9296b48bfa13a52ffe6e930236e6947e74b92e8e3d3ea1028ba6627a19fe& Commanders in each tie...

Less important card nitpicks first. More substance later. 1 Khârn the Betrayer - never cast it :( UB stay losing You hate Humble Defector deals, but have you ever seen a Khârn the Betrayer + Pyrohemia deal? Obviously not since I didn't draw either of them xD Have you successfully done that, or is it...

On a completely different axis. This guy is great in the 99 of my Changeling deck. His +1/+1 per spell can go on evasive Changelings like Changeling Outcast . Letting your tiny Changelings get swole while spreading around the counters so the counters aren't going to get blanked by a single removal s...

I built @materpillar's Yurlok deck and will try it out tonight. I'll be doing silent politics for the sake of simplicity, and a clean test case, I think. Was missing 4 cards but I think most of them are easily replaced. Wooded Ridgeline → Commercial District Terrifying Presence → basically any fog....

I don't think Sen Triplets was ever particularly strong. It's just miserable to lose to after the game has boiled down to a 1v1. I imagine it'll get hated on for basically ever because of this. One upside of powercreep is that someday I may get to actually play this card without getting immediately ...

There's a new "Outlaw" subtype like party. I assume one of them is going to be extremely pushed. Nothing offensive yet but Discreet Retreat seems like everything I want. Ramp, fixing, and card draw! All on a fairly safe enchantment. There's also a decent handful of non-Changelings this can...

I'm not surprised. It's got that Feather quality where it does something novel and zany, yet useful. It's a cool design alright. We had a fun little thought exercise with the guys recently and we ranked the various decks of the ten years (!) of the group into a tier list. Not all of them existed at...

Powerstones are a mechanic that never really took off - This is really the heart of it. I'm not sure what deck powerstones live in, if any of them. Lazav, the Multifarious absolutely loves powerstones. Stern Lesson is bonkers good in that deck. Ashnod, Flesh Mechanist also quite strong. As for Spea...

This card reads "At the beginning of your upkeep discard a card at random" and then a bunch more text that doesn't matter. If for some reason thats a card your deck wants than this is ok. The rest of the text is basically ignorable, it'll never put a relevant creature into play. Throwing 5...

I'm visiting Japan for just under two weeks. Checking it off my wife's bucket-list. I'm only a day in but it's really cool so far. Going to hang out in Tokyo until next week and then Osaka the next week. Hoping to see some Cherry Blossoms today. Magic the Gathering going to be fairly sidelined for ...
