Re: Urza planeswalker

Oath of Teferi doesn't interact with Urza, Planeswalker in the way you think it does. The abilities have the same wording, so it's like giving a creature two instances of vigilance. You'd need to use The Chain Veil . The physical card, Scryfall, and Gatherer all have the correct rules text. Thanks ...

Urza planeswalker

If you look at the physical card Urza planeswalker , it says you 'You may activate the loyalty abilities of Urza, Planeswalker twice each turn rather than only once.' If you look at it on scryfall, it says the same thing. If you go on Gatherer, it says the same thing. And yet, from what I understand...

Re: Sisay and Urza blow up the world

Are you familiar with RebellSon's Sisay Elk cEDH deck ? That's another route you could take. It's accepted as a playable cEDH option. Teferi, Time Raveler is an important part of that list. Your version of Sisay Jegantha definitely gets more style points, though. Yeah Teferi is awesome. I made a fe...

Re: Sisay and Urza blow up the world

I made some updates after playing some games in a Cedh setting, seeing the rest of Brothers War spoiled, and taking another look at Darren's suggestions. I feel like the deck would be more efficient if I gave up on the Urza, lattice, Karn wincons, but I like the flavor they provide. I'd like to find...

Re: Sisay and Urza blow up the world

Thanks for the reply, Darren. I made a Sisay, Weatherlight Captain and Jegantha, the Wellspring back when Companion was released and actually you had a few posts on it :) Yeah I've been infatuated with the both Sisays since the day they were spoiled. I'm a sucker for tutor generals. Umm we figured o...

Sisay and Urza blow up the world

Sisay, weatherlight captain Urza Planeswalker This fast, competitive, 5-color deck has a toolbox that can deal with any situation. Both cards required to make this deck go off are in the command zone ( Jegantha, the Wellspring is companion). It usually gets more than a dozen legendary cards on the ...

Re: Pir & Toothy, Imagine a Bigger Friend!

I don't play my Pir and Toothy deck anymore but here's some cards I found to be very efficient: slip through space and shadow rift are 1cmc cards that replace themselves and make Toothy unblockable. siren's ruse is another decent blinker. Kenrith's Transformation is card draw and removal in one.

Re: 5-color Sisay - fast, competitive, and full of superfriends

Based on your target play patterns and critical turn 4-5, it looks a bit like a cEDH style deck. Extremely powerful, but linear. How often does Sisay get removed enough to keep you down during a game? You could say it's like Cedh, but with a bunch of jank thrown in. I emphasize playing something fu...

Re: Sisay - a fast, powerful theme deck with her Weatherlight crew

Made some changes after Dominaria United got spoiled. Some of those cards are awesome in this deck: Ertai, Jodah, Timeless lotus, Plaza of heroes, Relic of Legends.

5-color Sisay - fast, competitive, and full of superfriends

This deck may look slow and clunky but it's neither of those things. It fills the battlefield with more than a dozen legendary permanents by turn 4 or 5 unless disrupted (and usually does even through removal) and it throws tons of disruption your opponents' way. It also has a cool theme that should...

Re: The peregrine dynamo + teferi who slows the unset

Yes, that seems to work just fine and your outline is accurate. The copy will resolve first so as long as the copy keeps the Dynamo as a target, the land you untap can pay for it again and again as each copy resolves. Thanks. And I notice it would also grant me infinite untapping of my artifacts as...

The peregrine dynamo + teferi who slows the unset

The peregrine dynamo + teferi, who slows the sunset = infinite life and creature untaps? Teferi targets the peregrine, a land, and one of your creatures with its untap ability. Gain 2 life. Peregrine copies the ability The copy resolves, untapping peregrine, a land, and a creature. You use peregrin...

Re: The 5 color tribal everything deck

Hi Robo, thanks for the post! I was curious about the large density of tutors. Are the creature tutors there to grab derevi elsewhere on your curve? Grab the haste enablers? Due mostly to my budget I would probably replace them with just more redundant ramp and interaction. They're mainly there beca...

The 5 color tribal everything deck

I have a 5-color deck with Jegantha the wellspring as companion. It requires only 2 cards to go off, Jegantha the wellspring and Sisay, weatherlight captain , and they're both in the command zone. There's about 7 flexible spots set aside in the deck for various tribes. It typically runs like this: T...

Child of alara question

I have a hell's caretaker and child of alara in play.
During my upkeep I use the caretaker to sack child of alara for ashaya, soul of the wild.

Does the caretaker (and my other creatures) live or die?

Re: [SCD] Old Gnawbone

Myriad won't do much by itself since Old Gnawbone is legendary. You're right. To get around that, my plan is to cheat out miirym, sentinel wyrm first, then Gnawbone, and have Duke Ulder Ravengard give haste/myriad to the nonlegendary Gnawbone token. In a 4-player game if my opponents have no flying...

Re: How do you feel about hermit druid shenanigans to bring out jank

That would require Mirror Box or something, and at that point the combo is so thoroughly involved that nobody could really be mad. To work around that I was thinking I would cheat miirym, sentinel wyrm into play first and myriad Gnawbone's non-legendary token. If I swing at three people and create ...

Re: [SCD] Old Gnawbone

I like the flavor of this card - a dragon that's accumulating treasure.

Can't wait to give it haste and myriad with duke ulder ravengard and have the token-making ability trigger three times.

Re: How do you feel about hermit druid shenanigans to bring out jank

I would still expect it to attract a fair amount of attention though, and if you're using it to turbocharge reanimation shenanigans ahead of curve, that may be an issue. Definitely depends on what you're reanimating though - dragons and other beaters are probably fine, Terastodon and Eldrazi less s...

How do you feel about hermit druid shenanigans to bring out jank

Is it lame to use hermit druid strategies to bring out a few big creatures instead of winning? The lgs I play at has mostly casual-ish players and a minority of guys who like to pub stomp newer players with net decks. I make unique theme decks that are usually strong enough to stop the net deck dude...

Re: Sisay, Weatherlight Captain Historic Matters

One thing I liked about Jegantha as companion is how she alone makes Sisay a 4/4, which is enough to cheat out Derevi, untapping Jegantha, and start a chain of cheating out everything I want that turn. If you don't have Jegantha as companion, I'd say the best card in the deck is bloom tender which I...
