Re: Group Think : Zaxara, the Exemplary

Polukranos, Unchained - hydra, +1/+1 counters, black card, interaction, first graveyard synergy.

Re: Group Think : Zaxara, the Exemplary

Retribution of the Ancients for a cheap way to interact, which we're currently severely lacking. It's also funny (though not altogether unsurprising) that this is the first black card that's been suggested. :laugh:

Re: Group Think is Double Plus Good: O-Kagachi

Duelist's Heritage - good with our general, good with our forced attack cards (since you can target opponent's creatures) and has some political implications.

I'll steal pokken's mentioned but unused suggestion of Pathbreaker Ibex. Seems good with all the mana dorks we've added.

Re: Group Think is Double Plus Good: O-Kagachi

We have a lot of 4-drops, we have a bunch of tap abilities, and we've even got a potential multicolour theme. Kiora's Follower seems like a good fit.

Kruphix, God of Horizons lets us store up mana over turns for a giant Hydra or Villainous Wealth or what have you (Wealth hasn't been nominated yet, but I mean ... c'mon). :P Dunno if adding Seedborn Muse in addition to Kruphix would push the deck past a 6/10 - something to keep in mind as the deck...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

No, I mean you never get priority to remove the enchantment at a time that stops it. Well no, you do have priority to kill the enchantment. They Tutor, they Cyclone, they cycle - in response to the cycle, you kill the enchantment, no free spell for them. Granted, a second cycle would get you if you...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Marath in particular seems completely nuts. It's actually not super great in Marath, as most times you want to do be activating it in instances of 1, rather than removing more counters in a single instance to avoid getting countered and losing multiple +1/+1 counters in a single go. Yeah, thinking ...

Re: Zirda, the Dawnwaker (Let's Brew!)

Looking at the Commanders individually, here's my outlook on how naturally Zirda as a Companion can fit into most builds and whether it's worth it to build them with Zirda in general. This is to help narrow down possible directions you can take to use Zirda as a Companion. Underpowered: Tajic, Legio...

Holy cow, my Niv-Mizzet Reborn deck can run Jegantha as a companion with just two cuts. Granted, they're two pretty important cards - Murderous Redcap enables a lot of combos, and Aurelia the Warleader does the same while also advancing the deck's beatdown/Voltron plan - but I almost never combo out...

Re: How to Make Keruga, the Macrosage Work in This Format

Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath seems like one of the better potential Generals for the deck. Keruga's weakness is skipping the first two turns, so having a card that consistently and repeatedly ramps you to big mana and filters your draws lets you play a higher land count and focus on getting your hi...

Just tossing my hat in to say I'm very appreciative of the RC's decision.

Re: Best targets for Mutate?

What confuses me is why they say "own" instead of "control". Really don't get why they did it that way. I imagine it's because flickering or bouncing a creature plus its Mutations causes the entire package to move to that zone, and having those cards move to different zones woul...
