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...

I bought some Gamegenic Prime Sleeves this week and sleeved one of my new decks in it. First impression: these are excellent! They shuffle really smoothly and they are not as stiff as the Dragonshield Mattes that I have always been using so far. They are costed me 7 euros for 100 sleeves I think? Th...

Played one game with Avacyn yesterday. Game went pretty well initially - had access to plenty of draw and I got Avacyn out ahead of curve. However, there was one big problem matchup-wise: there was a Lord Windgrace deck at the table who got an Maze of Ith out pretty early. That was kind of inconven...

Couple new cards that caught my eye Hellspur Posse Boss -- Beetleback Chief with upsides Brimstone Roundup -- In my case this is also an enchantment, but all in all an efficient token generator that's pretty easy to trigger for decks like these Geralf, the Fleshwright -- Another Talrand of sorts Ah...

First of all, interesting take on Narset, Enlightened Exile ! I really like enchantment-based decks :check:. Here are some of my initial thoughts: I am not sure if Skullclamp is super good in Narset. When you cast Skullclamp existing 1-toughness creatures on your side of the board will get buffed ou...

The Changes: REMOVED :fuming: Memory Deluge : Right... during goldfishing I realised that this card doesn't do its thing when you try and cast it with Narset from the graveyard. I have grown to really appreciate this card over the past few months, but I'd rather run something that does actually wor...

So I was typing out a response as I run a Narset EE deck as well, then I thought the effort was probably better spent creating the thread: https://www.mtgnexus.com/viewtopic.php?t=279825 Mine is more enchantress-focused than yours and prefers to run more repeatable enchantments like Flickering Ward...

Probably the thing that upsets me the most about this set so far is the horrifying treatments in the breaking news cards. those cards are ugly af. Yeah... not really a fan of those either. I like the "wanted" Gisa alternate art by Greg Staples though, she looks so morbidly cheerful: https...

Woooh, a music thread :grin:! Enjoyed reading what kind of music everyone listens to. I am always on the lookout for new tracks and artists. My own musical taste spans all kinds of genres... when I was a kid I wasn't particularly interested in music, but that changed when I was about eight years old...

Monday, March 25th 2024; Animal Friend I wonder why they didn't go for mole-rats, since those are more in tune with Fallout lore. Card is... eh. Making a 4/4 should be doable if your deck is built around auras and equipments. But if you are equipping your creature/commander with 4/5 aura's and/or e...

Sunday, March 24th 2024; Back to Basics Back to Basics|usg This and Blood Moon are the bane of my existence. My mana bases are really greedy 🤣. I generally run enough interaction to remove these effects, and I know which players in my LGS tend to run these, so I can play around them at least a bit.

Definitely consider adding Brought Back btw, narset being able to hit it and bring back fetchlands is pretty amazing. You can fetch fetch, brought back, then next turn do it again :D More fetches you run the better here, ofc. I visited my LGS today to browse through the single maps and I actually s...

Some initial changes based on goldfishing this list for a day - removed some ramp as the deck doesn't need that much of it and tweaked some categories. This might be the list I will be testing in my LGS. I have no idea how it will perform :P... kind of fun honestly, as I generally build decks and st...

Extra turns and combats are the obvious lines I think. But might be worth a couple. I like the rebound one since you can get three out of it. Thank you for responding! In all honesty, I didn't even think about extra turns and combats :rofl:. Guess she is more like OG Narset than I imagined. You mea...

If you have any thoughts on anything I've missed, especially recent cards, don't be shy :) Or anything you have questions about. lots of questionable choices tbh. It's been a while since I have played a lands deck :sweat:... Earlier in the thread I saw you were somewhat hesitant to include Azusa, L...

I agree with Dirk, I can't envision a deck or strategy that actively wants to play Aether Rift and be succesful with it. What did the Twitter post say about this card?

Sweet decklist, nice spin on the lands archetype! Haven't seen the Thrasios + Tormod pairing before. Definitely going to keep an eye on how this list will evolve. Sword of Forge and Frontier put in some serious work as did the new charm that got first field of the dead Yeah, Archdruid's Charm is a g...

If you play this card in relatively high power level pods, I think it won't raise many eyebrows, especially if your opponents are also playing cutthroat decks and cards, and able to respond to shenanigans like this. I ran a somewhat similar card ( Natural Balance ) in a decently strong Titania, Prot...

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 ...

I just saw some of the newer artwork for Bloomburrow, and I no longer care about Thunder Gun Express anymore. Yeah, I think I am going to enjoy Bloomburrow more than Thunder Junction. Bloomburrow reminds me a bit of the books and series I watched in my childhood two decades ago, so that has some no...

I have been playing since Onslaught - I was nine years old then :grin:. The neighbours' kids (who were a few years older) had some of the old 60-card theme decks which we would play against each other. The first MTG cards I bought myself was the Goblin theme deck from Scourge : https://i.imgur.com/V...

On a completely unrelated note, I might give Star Wars Unlimited a try. Of course, since its FFG it will likely be shuttered in a year or two, but if not it might be fun. I played Star Wars: Destiny for a while. Became reasonably popular in my LGS and the gameplay was refreshing, but yeah... FFG. N...

I tend to enjoy decks that play tutors and/or take quite a few game actions during a turn cycle. I am a fast player though - in most cases I know what I what to tutor for and I resolve triggers pretty smoothly. Current Decks: Sythis, Harvest's Hand : A lot of triggers and tutors. When I play a singl...

Maybe Aftermath Analyst over World Shaper?

Thanks for the suggestion ! Yeah, that seems like a straight upgrade in this list. Immediate impact when it ETB's and I don't run that many sacrifice effects, so the ability to sac itself is great.
