Capaldi's run as The Doctor is my favorite, with Heaven Sent as my all-time favorite episode of the show. I'm eager to build a deck around him, even though The Twelfth Doctor is a challenging card to make work imo. They sort of did our good doctor dirty for a few reasons: - 5 mana is more than I nor...

I only goldfished her and never built her, and maybe Lantern Control was the wrong archetype for them, but Rashmi and Ragavan really underwhelmed me. Only triggering on the first spell you cast on each of your turns is a huge limitation. "Target opponent" instead of "each opponent&quo...

Have you thought about Loran of the Third Path instead of Reclamation Sage ? She is a legend, and card draw. 100% a problem of Budget - as soon as I can get a copy, 110% this is a 1-for-1 swap. ------------------------------------------ Dr. Who is looking to bring some powerful cards to this deck, ...

quantum misalignment looks like one of the most versatile and powerful cards from the set. I have been super impressed with Irenicus's Vile Duplication in a lot of decks; for 1 more this doesn't grant flying, but has Rebound. Huge card is huge for sure, going to go in a ton of decks. This is going ...

Trying to figure out how to brew The Twelfth Doctor . That second payoff is bleh, but the first ability is very strong if you can jump through the hoops. Clara Oswald is a fine companion for him to choose any color for help and get double the counters for copies, but we'll see if Bill or Nardol are ...

Flavor on most of these cards is a 11/10, but power-level wise I'm a bit more underwhelemed. Only one I'm super into so far is Decaying Time Loop - it is card disadvantage every time, but Retrace is a strong effect and I can see myself playing this in my two hyper-durdly WRx decks (Sevinne and Quint...

Wanted to second that Glasses of Urza is much, much, much, much worse than Telepathy . The power of Telepathy is that everyone knows everything - and you can then use that. "Bob has a boardwipe" or "Alice has Thorcale in her hand and you know what that's gotta mean" are no longer...

So really dumb idea: Codie, Vociferous Codex as the commander. A whole bunch of Dragon's Approach es + Test of Talents , Now I just need to find a pay-off. Serpentine Curve I suppose? Serpentine Curve works but you could also jam big expensive fat dragons like Earthquake Dragon , Ancient Silver Dra...

Contagion Clasp feels like the better version of this, coming down for cheaper and activating quicker (although less proliferation) I don't know that I'd bother with either though even in a deck that wants the effect. I'd say Karn's Bastion really killed it. Being able to run your "4 mana prol...

This card always felt too slow even in the dinosaur age of 2010-2011 EDH. 10 mana before you start killing a meaningful amount of creatures with those -1/-1 counters is just a ton, and you need a boatload of counters/'walkers/other synergies to feel like you're getting your mana's worth. I remember ...

Said it in the other thread, but this is sad for sure. I was reflecting on Reddit that after Garfield and MaRo, I don't know if anyone has had as big an impact on this game as Sheldon Menery did. I had forgotten until WotC's article on it that Sheldon was a Level 5 judge and key figure in the wild &...

Sheldon passed away. Really sad - I was surprised to feel as sad as I am about a dude I've never met and who I generally didn't find super engaging in video content. I did love his writing though, and he's the grandfather of Magic's best format. Condolences to his family. Be sure to give him a nice...

Have we ever talked about Filter Out on this thread? I totally missed it because Aftermath was a confusing %$#%. It's not revolutionary, not hitting creatures makes it pretty niche, but bouncing ALL nonland, noncreature permanents is a pretty potent effect for 3 mana, I wouldn't even consider it if...

I am curious for folks that play in more competitive metas if Stroke of Midnight is better or worse than Generous Gift / Beast Within . To me it's a clear upgrade and the 2nd best single-target removal spell in the game for this deck after Swords, although obviously I think this deck just runs all t...

Couple cards I have found really strong in my kinda similar oketra deck: Martyred Rusalka - not quite infinite, but very efficient and can even stuff Eldrazi Helm of Possession - not my favorite play pattern but it does a ton of work at stopping some shenanigans. Martyr's Cause - really efficient o...

This deck has continued to perform well with no changes, but it's about to eat good with WOE. A few cards I have a strong eye on: Night of the Sweets' Revenge : Jaheira and Statuary are among the best cards in the '99. This is worse than both of those since it doesn't trigger Sam and costs 1 more an...

Spoilers if you haven't read the last story online yet. After reading the last story today, I now really want see Kellan's card. Son of Oko. That's like your last name being Skywalker as far as magic players are concerned. lol, who knew the big hero of the next storyline would be Oko's boy haha. Sa...

It's funny that I am so high on Trinket Mage and so low on Fabricate . I think being blinkable/recurrable makes a huge difference for the Mage (and all his magi friends). Anyhow, like folks are saying, three is a sweet spot for tutors, and if I had a deck (like the Lulu/Feywild Visitor deck I keep d...

Hey thanks for the response! I like the inclusion of the planeswalkers and faithful mending. They seem to really help the deck along with casting and looting. I was wondering how you felt about adding more draw effects into the deck like Archmage Emeritus or increasing burn effects like Fiery Inscr...

Howdy! This is my current list on Archidekt: Deck Link I haven't tested it a ton since making changes. I don't buy cards often so the only newer cards I have are ones I've randomly acquired - I finally got this deck a Faithful Mending, for instance. Also trying out Turnabout as mentioned in thread a...

At 19 different versions (including Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh // Chandra, Roaring Flame ) Chandra has the MOST options, but a lot of them are pretty unexciting. In terms of power level, I think Teferi is the best. Teferi, Master of Time , Teferi, Hero of Dominaria , and Teferi, Time Raveler are all ...

I'd happily buy Commodore Guff at a normal $45-50 price point as it includes a few new cards I find exciting (mostly the new 'walkers), a new staplish card in Guff Rewrites History , and a few nice reprints like The Chain Veil , Deepglow Skate , Mangara, the Diplomat , and Spark Double as well as gi...

Can attest this card is one of the best cards in the deck for my sister-in-law's Atla Palani, Nest Tender dinos deck. Auto-pops eggs, triggers Enrage effects (including BSoDing the table with Polyraptor if there's no way to remove this first), and absolutely brutalizes token and small tribal decks. ...

Like everyone is saying - we don't need $$$ manabases, but after LotR in particular I expected functional landbases with a minimal amount of EtB tapped lands. I understand why other precons don't get painlands, for example, (new players despise painlands), but these are definitely the decks for them...

Got two games in this weekend. Both a bit weird as 3 player "attack left" games, but it was a test drive nonetheless. Game 1 versus Narset, Enlightened Master (defending against) and Brimaz, Blight of Oreskos (attacking into): Narset ramped into turn 4 Narset, then Pathed the Gwaihir, Grea...
