Re: [SCD] Pip-Boy 3000

Probably not a factor, but if your two lands tap for at least [sym=3][sym=R][sym=R], it combos off with Aggravated Assault . I guess you could go deep with that via Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx . It sounds like it wants to just be Sword of Feast and Famine but I guess it has the upside of giving you the ...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Animal Friend

Its awkward in that you are sort of stacking a bunch of buffs in one location while going wide. Usually you don't want to go both big and wide but the small cavoite I will give it is that it might help against edicts. I think this card is probably in most cases a trap though.

Re: [SCD] Pip-Boy 3000

The fact that its on attack rather than on doing damage is nice as it means if you get chumped it doesn't matter. The filter mode is weaker than Mask of Memory but it is again an on attack rather than doing damage to a player trigger. I think its probably fine. I think the filter and untaps are the ...

Balancing Act

Balancing Act Ok, so I was looking at a very low permanents in play style of deck and I was curious as to what level of inappropriate something like Balancing Act might feel. This deck would generally probably be somewhere of an 8+ power scale deck having a lot of interaction for opponents but its ...

Re: Mirko, Obsessive Theorist

Some more changes to the deck. I haven't gotten a chance to play recently but I wanted to boost my survivability and increase my rezable targets for my commander. Its sort of important for me to keep a reasonable number of answer me kind of threats as I do want my opponents to target things other th...

Re: Queen Kayla - Norin Soul Sisters

Looks absolutely sweet! I think you might still want Winota, Joiner of Forces in the mix, since there's so much overlap from your last list. Sorry been sick lately. I think Winota, Joiner of Forces has some overlap but my concern offhand would be that I don't have a great human to non human ratio a...

Queen Kayla - Norin Soul Sisters

I am merging a few ideas together here. I really wanted to find a deck where I could jam a bunch of Rule of Law effects together as a lot of players I play against push hard on chaining spells repeatedly and given my commander I end to rely more on just activating my commander. The other was that I ...

Re: Ratadrabik Legendary Death Loops

I managed to pick up a copy of Delney, Streetwise Lookout and have temporarily slotted it in for Athreos, God of Passage . I am not really sold on either card if I am being honest. Athreos has been kind of mid passable at best in my experience so far. My thinking is that with all of the cloning of m...

doh, I think you're probably right. So I have thought about Esior/Tymna too, and also the two-tymnas gameplan of Sakashima of a Thousand Faces (with more of a raffine style creature lineup). I think the thing that probably appeals to me the most about the whole thing is getting to play all those st...

Mirko, Obsessive Theorist

Ok, I am a junkie for a low cmc evasive commander who grows on their own and has vigilance. That is like slap all the things I like together but beyond that they also have a reanimate clause stapled on? Wowza I am in. I really didn't go suuuuuper duper deep on the Surveil support. Honestly I might e...

Re: Ratadrabik Legendary Death Loops

Yeah I was confused about how it would be a legendary creature, but on Gatherer one of the rulings is that it retains its types in addition to being a creature. Makes sense now. Thanks. Seems like something fun to test out. Would definitely be better with Rata and at least another token doubler on ...

Re: Ratadrabik Legendary Death Loops

Gideon doesn't become a legendary creature, so you can't get Commander copies. You could still benefit from the token doublers though. Its contingent of using his own ability to animate him first so you don't get to emblem with the original the point of it is really only if you have a means of spli...

Re: Ratadrabik Legendary Death Loops

Alongside of considering the multiple commander design I was also curious of thoughts of Gideon, Ally of Zendikar . It seems like a little bit of a winmore situation but let me spell out what I was thinking with this. You can animate Gideon to be a creature and then sac him to trigger commander copi...

Re: Ratadrabik Legendary Death Loops

Alright, I did a little bit of different experimentation this last week. I only played one game but my experimentation was on cloning the hell out of my commander (which is hard to do in BW).

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Gandalf the White

Gandalf as a legend is kinda boring because its mono white ETB / Deaths which mono white doesn't do all that well if I am being honest but I think we are starting to get such a density of this effect that in the 99 he is quite reasonable. As a commander he probably can do some combo stuff with like ...

Well, I've played Rata a bit more and realized that I need a greater density of legendary creatures. Still haven't received Erebos in the mail yet, but that'll go straight in.

Glad you got more games in. I've noticed what you discussed earlier with Living Death . I haven't been able to get it set up very well and it hasn't benefitted me as much as I'd like.

I played a One Ring this weekend in a game in which it was stolen twice before it came back to my turn. If that doesn't give you primeval titan vibes I don't know what does.
