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
Think Rowan was referring to an opposing Ensnaring Bridge preventing you from attacking. Yea I am aware, I was more pointing out that my meta is very strong against passive defenses via heavy spot interaction and card draw. I am not saying its something I would never encounter but the meta I am in ...

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...

OOk, big change but it comes after getting to play two games. Both games went really well but it should be said that I did the games with something like an 80% accurate OG list. I made a few adjustments to it based on what I had on hand as some things didn't show or I forgot to order. In those chang...

Re: Did Doctor Who flop?

Re: Viridian Revel
I realized that Eye of Singularity has some anti treasure / clue token kind of vibes to it too on top of its historic token hate gameplan. Just thought I would mention it as its kind of in line with some of this other hate and a card I haven't seen mentioned yet.

Re: Should Multiplayer EDH Have Less Than 40 Starting Life?
From a casual perspective, the rules should not change. From a competitive one, ohhhhh god please change it. This game is regulated on a casual axis though but if you were looking at it from a competitive setting the life total should probably be somewhere between 20 and 30. Unfortunately the compet...

Re: Chromium, The Mutable
I could also see possibly trying Excise the Imperfect . It depends a lot in what you end up removing with it as to the drawback of its use as well as a question of how much you value the difference between destroy and exile. I saw Patriar's Seal the other day and thought to myself how it might be co...

Re: SCD: Mercadia’s Downfall
Its encouraging you to go wide because its a mass anthem buff but if you are actually going wide then I prefer Tears of Rage or Shared Animosity if you are rocking a single tribe. I guess it might have some world where you use it as a single creature buff but when things like Embercleave exist I wou...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
If you look at strict play rates and EDH rec numbers though those cards do have low numbers but that is likely mostly due to costs. I have encountered a lot of players who can't afford them though that think they should be auto staples assuming they had copies which is why I felt the need to comment...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
Mana Crypt is the most underplayed card in the format. It's a better Sol Ring, but it sees less play than Sol Ring. Actually, now that I think about it, ABU duals are probably the most underplayed. Edit: Honorary mention goes to snow-covered basics, most decks should technically be splitting their ...

Indominus Rex and Clones
I am curious if the discard effect of Indominus Rex, Alpha is the same timing of traditional clones like Sakashima of a Thousand Faces . If you were to clone him would you get the discard effect or is there an issue that they are both enters do x effects causing some sort of conflict? Sorry that I h...

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I assume that I probably don't know a lot of how I need to pivot this one just because its going to be quite a bit differently.

Indominus Rex
I had a Rayami, First of the Fallen deck together in the last year and while I really enjoyed playing it, I got into a faster meta that it felt a little too slow in. Seeing Indominus it reminded me a lot of Rayami but with a little less setup complexity at the cost of its abilities being a little le...

The most under played card in the format is Silent Artisan . Nobody ever plays it. Yoked Ox would like a word. That's a 4/4 for one mana in Doran, the Siege Tower . Try again. ;) In a format that Serra Ascendant exists.... Brought Back is a good card its just tough as white tends to lack the sac ou...

I believe I saw on reddit or somewhere that Knight of Malice can give Indominus Rex, Alpha hexproof. Can Spirit of the Night give first strike? I am still a little lost as to what does or does not count with some of these conditional abilities. I assume offhand that you don't get first strike from s...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Doom Whisperer
I think its still a very solid roleplayer in decks with heavy recursion elements and good paired with lifegain. It can also be used with some topdeck play type cards like Oracle of Mul Daya or Future Sight. I wouldn't say its a staple but I also haven't really been sad to see it in most decks.
