I'll yay Volcanic Offering because it seems fun and there just aren't many places you could play it. Maybe it's bad to have in hand, but hopefully we can put it back on top of the library when this happens. I dunno I think I'm sort of talking myself out of it, but I'll stick with the yay for now.

Oblation. Good removal, not too far under our commander's power, emergency card draw for us.

I'll put in a Yay for Battle Angels of Tyr . Also works for Bonder's. I am uncertain about Wild Ricochet because I don't understand what Crazy Monkey is talking about with stack order and triggers making this not work for cards we freecast with Velomachus. Or do you mean we can't use it when we swin...

Anyone else looking forward to transforming Etali, Primal Conqueror for 3 with Seedpod Caretaker and Amoeboid Changeling?

Edit: oh not sure if this works

Edit2: it does not work got too excited

Henlock - I think that getting some ramp and card draw out of the way first is sensible (which I think is 3drinks' intent). Once we're loaded for bear on some staples, we can probably figure out more of a theme for the deck. So we have some draw that just works, and we're thinking incidentally abou...

Also nay on Thorough investigation . Seems like our business is getting the Dragon online and freecasting scary stuff more than early aggression. Haven't looked into it too hard, but anything that would hit while Velo is on the field that gives us Monarch may actually be a good bet for later game dr...

2nd cast of Approach of the Second Sun has to be cast from hand or it doesn't work, which makes this a little more complicated, no? Makes me say nay because it turns into a bit of a nonbo.

My thought re: Bonder's is that it works in the lategame, and has the benefits TheAmericanSpirit mentioned - it's a land, it gives mana, won't get hit by sweepers, is inconspicuous, and isn't symmetrical like some of the ones you mentioned, 3drinks . So I'm hardly married to it, but I think it'll wo...

Yay Dragon's Rage Channeler. She'll do work here. I'll put Bonders' Enclave up. It'll be on with our commander and hopefully some others. If we're free casting spells on the attack, then we can use some saved mana to draw later.

I'll nay Sunforger. It's good in the right spot but I agree the deck is already too mana intensive with our commander. Yay windfall.

Yay to Sol Ring because Sol Ring and this commander needs mana.

Aw crap I've been called out uh… Prosperous Partnership would be pretty funny to get working in a deck and our commander already has vigilance so let's get a little incremental value. I don't actually expect this to pass, but who knows. It's hardly ever going to be worth removing, and it's likely to...

Yeah dgt has gone crazy for me a number of times.

Do you have a current list?

It's close enough to yours to not be worth noting differences. I tend to just copy a list these days and then experiment from there, so your last iteration is where I'm at. Fairly few alterations.

Every game so far!

Lol, it does happen a lot Been happening to you too?

Deep Gnome Terramancer and Land Tax have been the most frequent culprits in this regard - they just drain the deck of basics at a hilarious rate. It's a good problem to have because I hit my land drops^TM

@Moonlighter Of course it's all subjective - what would a debate about something objective look like? I guess you could have a debate about something scientific, i.e. I think this celestial object looks like X whereas you think it looks like Y, which presumably does have a correct objective answer....

I'm with Toshi , I love these things. I love a good classic DirkGently fight. They tend to all have a similar structure, though I'm not 100% sure I can articulate it. Maybe Ulka and I can write a thesis on the process, if not the content. But this one's good because I happen to enjoy Yojimbo a lot. ...

Yay all three. Wondering about a ramp package using Geomancer's Gambit and Cleansing Wildfire and some indestructible lands for some ramp shenanigans for us. I'll nominate if people don't think it's too clunky.

Land destruction is a route less travelled for a hateable deck.

I ended the game out of plains in my deck again.

Every game so far!

Deck works as advertised. Becomes hilariously oppressive as the game goes on. I kept flickering Wood Elves whenever Emiel got targeted, and I could afford to pay 10 for her in the late game because I was sitting on so many lands. I ended up 'Hoofing the table, no problem.

I am going to figure a bit of a rework on this to suit my playstyle and group a bit more. I keep getting railed by having too few resources in play to capitalize on what I've got. I think I need some of those cheaper recurrent enchantments, like Spreading Algae and Screams from Within , as both of t...

I tend to get slapped in the 1v1, and people have started to cop to the fact that you need to kill Breena as the game winds down, so I think the Ozolith will help by adding an extra target for them to have to remove. I've never run into the Guardian of Faith , so I don't have a strong thought about ...

Any thoughts about The Ozolith as a backup for counters in case of removal? It makes for yet another thing your opponents have to deal with to slow this deck down. Having a lot of fun playing Breena. She does exactly as advertised. I don't have to politic, just remind people who they have to hit to ...

Liking this deck a lot. Tested a game with it last night and felt like I need to get the turn order right, but in terms of sac fodder, using lands hurts. Wondering if maybe Shigeki, Jukai Visionary , Skola Grovedancer , or Tymaret, Chosen from Death might be good ways to get a little more types on t...

Palmer was a prescient man, and a hero. [paraphrased] Magic is a game that is pressured to constantly push the envelope and things we think are obscene now are doomed to be one upped. They spent a very long time trying not to allow scope creep to come on too hard and then in the last few years when...
