Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Odric, Blood-Cursed

@Dunadain Odric, Master Tactician is the original, not lunarch Marshall.

Marshall is obviously the most interesting of the three though. Huge downgrade for the third version.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Odric, Blood-Cursed

Blood tokens are not worth all that setup.

Boring and awful.

Re: SCD: Humble Defector

Got in 4-5 games last night with materpillar 's Yurlok deck so I'll share my thoughts. Unfortunately I only drew defector once, and it was at the point in the game where a Goblin Piker was sufficient to get in the last few points of damage, so not much of a test case on that front. I did enjoy playi...

Re: Phelddagrif: Show Weakness to Hide Your Strength

I think Teferi's Protection is a must include! a big thing ive realized in the deck is do nothing until you have to, and teferi's pro allows you to do nothing until the VERY last minute, whether its combat or combo related. then when every one else dies... its a 1v1 which is our strong suit. This i...

Re: Sorrow's Path Golos - another stupid deck by DirkGently (Decklist up!)

I appreciate the kind words :) Glad to know people are getting some use out of my ideas.

Life is a bit hectic at the moment, but I do want to try reimagining the deck under Wayta when I get the chance.

Re: SCD: Humble Defector

I built materpillar 's Yurlok deck and will try it out tonight. I'll be doing silent politics for the sake of simplicity, and a clean test case, I think. Was missing 4 cards but I think most of them are easily replaced. Wooded Ridgeline → Commercial District Terrifying Presence → basically any fog.....

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Thicket Elemental

Extremely bad since the 4/4 is borderline irrelevant.

I remember seeing this in the early aughts and thinking "wow, if you only put 1 other creature in the deck this could cheat in anything!" Which is true but the setup cost is way too high to justify.

Re: Sorrow's Path Golos - another stupid deck by DirkGently (Decklist up!)

kylep33 tbh you got me thinking - this deck has been mostly shelved since the banning, but Wayta is not a bad choice at all to revive it. It will need a lot of land tutors to be "the sorrow's path deck" but Wayta provides a small version herself, plus multiplies the power of your creature...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread

Lmao, Kyle picks Preston Garvey, Minuteman as his "can't miss pick". I guess he has a decent shot to clear, but he's the least popular 3c commander out of the set, and rightfully so. Not as bad as Izoni, Center of the Web or Donna Noble at least. Did someone curse Kyle to only choose terri...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Primeval Bounty

Honestly...I'm pretty low on it. I do remember thinking it looked pretty nuts on release - maybe that's just power creep, or maybe my card evaluation has evolved a bit. It pays you off for doing anything, but the things it gives you aren't necessarily very useful. What's the average deck going to ge...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread

Since it seems like I spawned another UB discourse I figured maybe I should clarify my argument a bit. I'm not saying that I dislike UB because of the cross promotion or the flavor - those are both also true, but not the thing that Fallout brought to my mind. What Fallout made me think about was wha...

Wordling game is using playtest cards and not showing the pictures

Solution for today's Wordling was "chaff" from the playtest card command the chaff. Not sure if that's intended - personally I think it's kinda lame - but either way, the card doesn't actually appear on the solution screen, instead it shows the black arena card back.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Brutal Expulsion

The flexibility is nice, but bounce/shock is too soft of an answer for four mana. Bounce a creature is bad at 1 mana, shock is bad at 1 mana, and bounce a spell cantrips at 2 mana. Getting a shock and a bounce/remand is nice, but realistically you probably won't have an ideal target for the other mo...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Krosan Restorer

You're only overpaying by 1 for the base mode, and then the threshold mode is pretty insane. Still not sure I'd run it outside of a land-focused deck, but it's a solid card for sure.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Pariah

Never really got the flavor here. Why would an outcast be taking your damage for you? Shouldn't it be "loyal bodyguard" or something?

Iconic effect though.

Those numbers are only abstract, there's no way to judge something like that to that precision in a game with the amount of variable or hidden information.
