Re: STATE OF THE FORMAT 2024
I can't help but read the explanations of why cards are banned and ask why the hell we haven't banned like 20 other cards that are bigger problems than cards we have actually had banned for years. Reading the explination of the bans on Erayo, Soratami Ascendant // Erayo's Essence and Balance and the...

Re: Ratadrabik Legendary Death Loops
That all sounds good. Right now I am really pushing hard for more draw and cheaper more expendable legends and I will see how and where that goes for me. I have considered if something like Land Tax might be useful as well given that we really aren't ramping lands much at all and it might be somethi...

Re: Ratadrabik Legendary Death Loops
Repeatable draw would be better. I forgot about Dark Prophecy and it makes sense that you'd test out Daxos considering you'd lose a lot of life drawing cards. I have a spare Necropotence from an unfinished deck I can add. Maybe I'll add it in. Additionally, I've seen Gift of Immortality in other Ra...

Re: Ratadrabik Legendary Death Loops
Yeah for draw I chose Village Rites , Nasty End , and Plumb the Forbidden to combine the sac element with the draw. I think there's a new Village clone that would work better than Plumb in terms of mana efficiency. Plumb though is decent when facing a board wipe, but then it's more reactionary. I a...

Re: Ratadrabik Legendary Death Loops
Okkkkkk I finally got around to playing games with this deck and..... yea its fun but holy hell its also combo tastic and it can be kind of slow rolling to get to its objective. I think I got away with a lot of stuff just because things weren't falling into place until suddenly they super were. Peop...

Re: Is it me...
If you ask me it really doesn't cost them to make a product with solid reprints with no single outstanding money card. They have reprinted a lot of the like $5 or less cards into oblivion at this point and while it still costs a few dollars a card for those its really only useful to newer players to...

Re: Sanwell - Modular Sac
Alright, its been a hot minute since I updated this one. I always get a little squirrely when we go into Path of Exile new league time and I fall off a little in my updates of existing decks. I have been kind of poke updating this deck as I went and I do think that the Ixilan set brought a lot of re...

Danitha, Benalia's Hope
Well a little backstory, I did what I was hoping for as an aura focused death trigger deck based on Danitha a while back and while it found some sucess I really found that it sort of rarely accomplished its thing because it didn't have enough targets in the deck that were hits and it really wanted t...

Re: Ratadrabik Legendary Death Loops
I am not a judge but I believe in the case of Teysa Karlov it creates an instance where the other trigger goes on the stack twice rather than generating a trigger itself for the other effect to generate a second trigger. If we can shrink our commander via something like Yawgmoth, Thran Physician I b...

Re: Ratadrabik Legendary Death Loops
Ok, I have sleeved up what I can from what I have on hand and a bunch of stuff is in the mail still. I still haven't played this deck yet but the high curve was nagging at me so I worked on it a little asking myself what my priority in this deck is and I think I was really pushing myself on the lege...

Re: Ratadrabik Legendary Death Loops
Let me start off by saying I haven't piloted this at all so all of my thoughts are still mostly theoretical rather than anything proven. Thalia, Guardian of Thraben is on my shortlist too. Even with one of your token doublers, she can slow down your opponents. Late game with an Ojer Taq, Deepest Fou...

Re: Ratadrabik Legendary Death Loops
Mangara of Corondor is gross. I remember fearing him in Legacy Death and Taxes. That deck had some great unintuitive rules exploits. I've only run my version of this once, but it felt very resilient. Excited to see how yours develops. I put in an order for some cards and I am mulling over a few add...

Re: Ratadrabik Legendary Death Loops
I'm curious to see how Drivnod, Carnage Dominus works for you. I have it on the shortlist for a bunch of decks, but it usually gets cut in favor of other stuff that plays in a similar space/has more utility. This is definitely what my Ratadrabik of Urborg list would look like if I was playing pick ...

Ratadrabik Legendary Death Loops
This deck can get some super splashy things off but it also looks like its going to take some assembly to do some of it. The "Living the Dream" of this deck is going to be something along the lines of Commander + Double Death Trigger + Token Multiplication Mechanics . In short, if it actua...

Re: Winota, Joiner of Forces is "Norinota, Joiner of Waries"
I feel like you might want a few more cheap non humans to trigger winota but you seem to be pushing a bit more for the utility for Norin guys rather than triggers for winota offhand. Its probably fine but you will notice a slower opener due to it. I found that a number of vehicles were actually quit...

Re: Wyleth vs Kellan
Kellan, the Fae-Blooded // Birthright Boon can get auras which could be auras so I feel like I can see situations where it can play a less straightforward voltron aggro plan. I also think that you can probably come up with a slightly more optimal curve of using Kellan to reliably get a specific buf...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
Man, these mtg releases are getting out of hand It is amusing to see Lorcana in a Ixalon box. If you aren't being sarcastic with that, that is Disney's new TCG not an actual magic product. Its a bit unknown as to how well Disney is doing with it just because there is a lot of pull back right now on...

Re: Wow @MTGSally really did go off a cliff since our move here.
I will say though it sucks that we had to make that move. I still sometimes do magic rules searches that bring me to salvation and I think we had built up a lot of search results on salvation back in the day. It sucks that everything did what it did but I do think Feyd gives us FAR far better suppor...

Re: Indominus Rex
Since you discard a lot of creatures for Commander's ability then why not use cheap reanimation to bring them back? Even Living Death could be an option if Rex gets killed somehow. You could use better (more-costed) creatures as discard fodder then. The problem is that most of the cards I am discar...
