Just want to note the flavor win of Burdened Aerialist. He won't see a lot of play, but the mechanics fit the story of the card quite well.

I'm looking at the list you've got page one there, and I have some questions based on the games you just described. One of the first is, you were debating Spellstutter Sprite in the other thread, but you're low on interaction overall - do you think this deck could benefit from a stronger interaction...

Lonis, Cryptozoologist - seems kinda fun to me. I like that it's something for simic to do other than Exploration and I love clues. Might do something with it, but sadly that something will inevitably involve Tireless Tracker and Exploration because I can't control my damn self, but hey :) I do lov...

Initial review of Lonis, Cryptozoologist: I don't hate it.

that's pretty high praise for a ug legend tbh.

It... uh... uses investigate to... investigate your opponents decks? I guess the flavor on that isn't terrible! And it's not play land profit.

Hmmm. ISBPathfinder the problem here appears to be that no deck I run would ever do well in your meta, haha. We're so casual and no one has ever put their hands on an ABUR dual much less seen one. I say that not as an insult, but your group is cut-throat, and appears to be pretty restrictive rather ...

I am all for sweet synergy, I just see it as an under performing counterspell though. What additional value do you plan to make it better than just a one shot ETB? Being bounceable and reusable should be enough to consider it FAR superior than any other conventional counterspell in this deck, hones...

How has Spellstutter Sprite been for everyone? It seems like everyone jammed it into their list upon immediate suggestion. I haven't drawn mine once yet. I only have a few games in - but we get together every other Saturday morning, so I've got a few games coming. That said, I dropped Spellstutter ...

Void Mirror is... it's good. Shut down whole decks for ? Yes please, but also why did they print that? Sorry Kozilek, the Great Distortion.dec. Sorry Force of Will or any free crap cards. Really?

What if we get Dryad Arbor-style fetchable duals?

I'm still hoping they'll finish a Riftstone Portal land cycle.

Not to be a negative nancy but I doubt you're going to get out of a rut by playing a 1-trick-pony mono green deck that'll probably hold your attention for 2 or 3 games :) Good luck sir! You underestimate my love of bears then. How... BEARY ...disappointing of you. Well. There's Ur Sine. I think we ...

It's a seahorse.

It features strongly in my fish horse memory tribal deck.

That's right "afari" there hasn't been a flavor text of one of the tales written since mirage and visions. Now, before you'd say coincidence back in the "Commander legends" preview they showed off a card called Demonic Lore the flavor text is "Nevinyrral" that's the fi...

So far the alt art treatments for the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms cards - b/w line illustrations meant to evoke the look and feel of first edition AD&D books - really turns me off. The one for the Beholder (card text not yet spoiled) is okay, but the boring Boros dwarf legend is, well, b...

I am so pleased that Dakkon, Shadow Slayer is once again bearing the hyper colorful art of Richard Kane Ferguson. I don't exactly like his style, but I think it's great that he's on Dakkon's card art once again.

I know you already have a Sliver/changeling deck, but Changeling Outcast really feels like he'd have a solid home here. Just an easy way to get a a -1/-1 going without having to worry about blockers. I know he doesn't multiply your effect, but at least it won't cause pokken to try to kill you for ru...

I've run him before, in an Inalla deck. He's value town, for certain, but I have not seen him stick around for long, either in decks or on the table. He's a pretty big target. The fact that he's 'a graveyard' not 'your graveyard' is pretty incredible. I guess I'm generally fond of a lower mana curve?

I'm the guy swinging at you for three games straight because you attacked me with a 1/1. Ok, I'm not that spiteful, but I do like to crack back at random times and remind you of that earlier attack. My playgroup is just getting started, but they're mostly people I've played well with in the past. O...

Edit: wtf is the art on this supposed to mean? I see a big weird guy carrying a santa sack while wading through lava. Is he disgruntled by his floor-is-lava working conditions? What's in the sack? Who is this guy? How does this convey "fractured loyalty"? Look at Custody Battle , that's p...

Also: Feldon's lore is well worth reading, and can be found here . How wonderful. There are lamentations in the chat threads here about the nature of the lore these days. Read this story - it's short. This is a story about a card game which causes nerds to flips tables on some occasions. The writer...

Two games in today, first since I built the deck. My build is pretty similar to materpillar 's at this point. First was vs. Lathril, Blade of the Elves , Daretti, Scrap Savant , and Esix, Fractal Bloom . I worked around with two lands most of the game - but Gemhide Sliver did a lot of work. The boar...

Blade of Selves as I mentioned with getting cage counters, but it's also another equipment that can be put onto opponents creatures. As you get the tokens you get to attack players in other peoples turns which honestly is something that I've never encountered before. Even more weirdly you can attac...

@Moonlighter One thing I realized that was never clarified in the rules discussion above was about Tatsumasa, the Dragon's Fang . In order for that ability to work to protect Mairsil the way you want, you need to leave Mairsil in Exile. If you move him to the Command Zone, he won't return, but leav...

Spy kit can be copied when Mairsil, the Pretender is attached to a creature via Mirage Mirror . It has to be on the battlefield, though. Same with Worldslayer . Rules sections 301.5a and 303.4b highlight that the enchanted creature or the equipped creature are only referring to the creature the per...

This is the bare skeleton of an idea that has haunted me for a few years, and I'm looking for some help. I've been talking with materpillar about it, but it's been sitting in the 'odd, but not great' category. Then Vorpal Sword came out, and it just had to happen. The goal of this deck is to turn Ma...

Curious to hear how this is going for you Krishnath . Me and some friends are going to give this a shot, and you've persuaded me to start with Ikoria, as well as the fact that A) I don't own any cards from it and didn't draft it, and B) None of the legends sit clearly in archetypes I like to play. H...
