Re: Titania, Protector of Argoth

Few changes and a little land utility to discuss. IN Force of Vigor|97680 >> OUT Krosan Grip : Sad day to pull the last Krosan Grip from a deck, but casting for [sym=0] without split second is going to be more useful than casting for [sym=2][sym=g] with it. Thanks for the reprint Thunder Junction! I...

Re: 5c Mana Base

I forgot about Krosan Verge + Triomes, which gets all 5 colors across 2 lands. Depending on if you consider this a "Fetch", but it is the best fixer in 5-color triomes and now I'm not sure I even have it in my deck. Will fix that soon.

Re: making multiple monocolor decks

I don't think I could have more than 2 mono-color decks in the same color. Even 2 is a stretch because I don't play enough magic to get enough enjoyment out of 2 decks in the same color identity. And I like multi-color too much to have any mono decks in the same color. Right now I have almost the co...

Re: Karador, Ghost Chieftain - Quest for Control

I like Honest Rutstein better than Savvy Trader . It is 1 cheaper, only gets creatures back and only reduces cost of creatures, but let's be honest, we are primarily casting creatures from the GY, so I think the cost reduction is comparable, and I think the limitation to creatures only recursion is ...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Isildur's Fateful Strike

Living Death = Probably one of the most compact win conditions for GY decks outside of straight combo. Been using is in Karador for years and it is my #1 way to win the game. I have gotten a little greedy with the self mill, but so far that deck is the only all-in GY deck in the meta, so not enough...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Volatile Stormdrake = Fixed Gilded Drake is sure interesting. Steals 4 drops and smaller permanently, but requires more hoops to keep anything bigger. More targeted removal at sorcery speed than actual theft, but can easily steal commanders or utility guys with upside of bouncing for more uses. I u...

Re: 5c Mana Base

10 shocks 10 Battlebond lands or slow lands I think you'll find this to be horrible. There's no way it'll be balanced. I'd play the color picking gates and thriving lands over off-color pairs you won't use much. But I really strongly agree with your Farseek manabase and think that is almost surely ...

Re: 5c Mana Base

My personal path to semi-budget 5c mana base is the heavy-green route. This is how I set it up, but I am doing to try the way Ruiner did it with 10 non-typed duals like Battlebond lands or Slow lands with some Shocks when I complete my set of Battlebond lands. Anyway, here is my current 5c mana base...

Re: [MH3] Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student - Turn 4, draw half your deck

64% chance to Thassa combo the table by turn 4? Sounds like this deck list belongs in the cEDH sub. No offense. Fast mana and free counters support this conclusion. I guess the main draw is that getting Tamiyo out turn 1 reduces your threat surface to counterspells since loyalty abilities cannot be ...

Re: Cards like Surge to Victory

My brother cast this a couple times in a Zaffai, Thunder Conductor , now Magnus the Red deck and when it works, it's awesome. But when you cannot get attackers through, it is pretty much dead. So it is a high variance card. I don't remember what he copied, but it was a spell that was at least 6 cmc....

Re: Those whose partners play commander: how is that working out for you?

My wife will not play magic with me. I am a very competitive and strategic person. She is carefree, non-competitive, and anti-strategy, so she has the wisdom to foresee that playing this game together would not yield any beneficial outcomes to our relationship. She is just not a strategy gamer, she ...

Cactus Preserve is one of the best manlands we have seen in a while, but I'm not sure what it does for Karador's strategy.
