Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Checklands
I also only run on-color fetches, so there is more room in my decks for the Checklands.
Once they complete the Tangoland and Cycle Dual cycles, then we may have a harder time squeezing these in.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Checklands
Great Lands. Don't see enough play. I like these more than many other lands which get much more attention, like the Temples or the BBD's. Some of the best duals without land types. I need to pick up a couple more of the enemy Checks since they are low cost again. I typically play filter lands before...

Re: Which do you like more?
Eldrazi Monument . If I need the indestructible, its usually for a large team. Soul of New Phyrexia is very difficult to activate at the right time. The Monument also provides pump and evasion and doesn't require mana open constantly to protect the board. Twilight Mire "Filter Lands" Glac...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Karmic Guide
Karmic Guide is a format staple. Hard to undervalue this card in anything with creature synergy. Honestly, I find it difficult not to run Reveilark beside this, which adds to its infamy. White needs more cards like this and Sun Titan to help its card advantage problem. I wouldn't say every white de...

Re: Brewing Liliana (Origins), Help Needed
Price of Betrayal and Smallpox seem a little low impact.
Maybe get a Black Sun's Zenith in for Infest until you get a Toxic Deluge. Killing Wave could also become a more efficient board wipe like Damnation or Life's Finale.

Re: Field of the Dead
Thinking out loud, I wonder if this card is worth the squeeze in my mono green Titania, Protector of Argoth . It uses Scapeshift , World Shaper , and Splendid Reclamation after mass land sacrifice for big token production. It may be win-more if I am already making that many 5/3 elementals, but the o...

Re: Sheldon's AmA

Still, communication is good. This is mostly how I felt. And I only passively follow the RC, though the...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Runic Armasaur
Aye, it's possible but hard to measure. While this one is more subtle than Oppression , I play with a consistent group of people I've known a long time and have noticed the latter slow people down on casting because they didn't want to lose cards. The Armasaur is probably a lesser impact psychologi...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Charmbreaker Devils
This card can create some great value, but in many decks I could see previously mentioned Wheel Dragon to be a better 6 slot than this one. I agree that an end step trigger would be much better, however the pump would be useless by then, which defeats some of the purpose.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Runehorn Hellkite
Runehorn is a good card in my opinion. Playable in Red decks that care about the graveyard, decks that care about wheels, decks that care about discard. I play this in Daretti, Scrap Savant which uses quite a few wheel effects including Chandra Ablaze . I can pitch this to Daretti +2 and then activa...

Re: "Help me cut a card" thread
I dont like Ral or Insidious Will I am not the OP, but I personally love Insidious Will for a 75% list. Its a 2 for 1 against removal spells and can hard counter many game winning plays. 4 cmc is steep for a counter, but I like the card. I also like Mystic Confluence for its ability to scale with t...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Concentrate
With all of the instant speed draw options, X-draw options, and Delve draw options, Concentrate doesn't get much love any more. I have it in a creatureless Talrand deck along with other sub-par draw spells in draw slot 6-10 or something. It is perfectly playable as mentioned above, although for many...

Re: Bant bounce options
Someone beat me to Momentary Blink. Great Card. Saves your creatures from removal (twice) even if you don't trigger ETB. Also Ephemerate in the same vein.

Eternal Dragon was a format staple in white back in the day. Cycle it away early game and have a credible threat in the late game. I have not played it in years because 12 mana for a 5/5 flyer is not an acceptable rate even from the graveyard. Good card that just doesn't measure up in today's Comman...

Re: Having Your Voice Heard
I don't think the RC needs to start throwing cards on the ban list for cEDH players. It is usually quite obvious which players are looking for the cEDH style of play and those who aren't. Playgroup communication takes over from there and you can talk about what type of power level you want from a ga...
