Re: The One Ring
One Ring and Paradox Engine could be banned for very similar reasons. Maybe once LotR is an older set and people forget about it. I have a MTGA historic deck with The One Ring and Paradox Engine. Super fun. If RC is under pressure to not ban this, there has to be an expiration on that pressure, rig...

Re: [Helpwanted] Looking for a tight budget build for budget night
Yasova Dragonclaw and Bazaar Trader were always a combo I liked. Threaten a dude, take it permanently.
Is that the kind of annoying you are looking for?

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
So, yesterday i got to draft Ravnica Remastered - and i don't know what to think of it. On the one hand, it has been one of the better Master/Remastered sets to draft, especially compared to Dominaria Remastered. There is plenty to get sentimental about and the decks we got to built were nice. Buuu...

Re: Wow @MTGSally really did go off a cliff since our move here.
I will say though, that I wish we had a livelier Cube forum and better spoiler announcement situation. I could post my own cube, but yeah. Not much momentum in those areas. Most of my cube discussion is with my local playgroup though. Meh at this point I am not active on the forums. I will pop in f...

Re: Did Doctor Who flop?
I think we will see a decline in product launches. Not related to Dr. Who though. Global inflation has a two-pronged impact on MtG - it costs more to make, and people have less money to spend. I think we should see fewer commander decks per year. We don't need 4 new decks with each new set, especial...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Nexus of Fate
I have one in my Kefnet the Mindful High Tide . I can't work out which is better, Nexus of Fate or Blue Sun's Zenith When Kefnet makes infinite mana I can draw my deck. So either infinite turns or infinite mana BSZ will win the game. I am not sure which is better as a mid-game draw though. So for no...

I just remember slapping this on Mindshrieker.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - The God-Eternals
I hate how resilient they are. Exile should still be an out.
I don't love any of them so I don't play them much. Oketra sometimes. Bontu for decks like Glissa the traitor that want to sac non-creatures.
Rhonas actually hits very hard.

Re: The Community Deck Build Project v9.0
@3drinks why do you never value exile? This conversation comes up a lot. Exiling a broken permanent is better than destroying it.
I don't think we want 3 mana anything, and I think Unexpectedly Absent fills the gap of being able to hit anything pretty well. Yay.

Re: The product deluge vs Costs
I think I am busy enough that even if money was no object, it would barely affect me. I would buy more, but not a lot more. I am barely paying attention to new sets anymore. I do sealed on arena to introduce myself to the cards. I have no idea what is in the sets. Supplemental products are getting c...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
What does "render the card art unrecognizable" even mean? Like, if I'm going to get an alter, I'm going to change the art, lol. Seems vague (where is the line where you can still recognize the art?) and unnecessary, but I haven't played in a tournament in years, and never a tournament big...

Re: The Community Deck Build Project v9.0
I don't understand Black Market Connections ' popularity. It seemed like the hivemind reached a consensus that Phyrexian Arena is too slow, almost unplayable. And then we get a variant with a similar power level (imo at least) and it climbs to 30€. I don't see any reason to run this unless the Shap...

Re: Legolas' Fight Club
Thanks for educating me on Thrive. Ugh. I did slot in bonds of mortality. Interesting idea for bequeathal. You may be right about the ramp. 1v1 is very different as my goal is either to land Legolas turn 2 against Blue counterspell decks, or to play him turn 3 with mana up for protection against W/B...

Re: Legolas' Fight Club
So I have been playing this on Arena and it wrecks creature decks. It's hilarious. So I started a decklist for paper and I think the main things I have that you don't are: Thrive - you can target opponents' creatures and kill them all. 5 mana dorks, and only 4 other creatures. Getting Legolas down b...

Chromatic Lantern supreme fixing - I don't think we need it? Like, a turn 2 signet will help us hit all our colors in most games. And then we have treasures popping out all over the place for the odd Aurelia. I don't think our spells are so hard to cast that we will need this supreme mana fixing and...

Re: The Community Deck Build Project v9.0
Can we cut cultivator's caravan and play arcane signet? Or actually chromatic lantern is probably worse. We do have a lot of treasures after all.
Removal I would suggest Dismember. It hits most threats in the format.
Card draw I am starting to draw blanks. Maybe we want impulse draw effects?

Re: The Community Deck Build Project v9.0
Yay bolt and maneuver, easy peasy
Dire Tactics seems mediocre to me at a glance. I think usually I would usually go Anguished Unmaking and Dismember first. But.... I kind of like it here over Unmaking.
My question is whether or not it's better than Abrade at two mana.

I want to nominate Selfless Spirit. it can attack to trigger some of the other cards in the deck. It protects our dudes. Seems decent to me?
