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: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread

Douple post to point : Rafine filtering and low curve Edgar were brought to forums by @ISBPathfinder I am a sucker for low curve aggro. I did a few other ones too that didn't get as much traction outside of me playing like Sai, Master Thopterist artificer which was about as fast but a lot more of a...

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...

Re: Mirko, Obsessive Theorist

Just poking around at my physical list as a few ordered cards come in and I realized I already wanted to make a few changes. Its still going to be a few weeks before I can play this one more just because I am booked over the weekends but I am going to make some small updates anyways. DECK CHANGES: N...

Re: ISB Raffine

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). I did some shifting around of cards in my list and did some testing again with a bunch of things that can gi...

Re: Ratadrabik Legendary Death Loops

I had a few games this weekend but it was mostly instances of crazy infinite combo decks going off paired with some hatebears hitting and slowing me down.

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 ...

Re: Ratadrabik Legendary Death Loops

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. I've found that I haven't really needed Land Tax , so that'll be a cut. So far I haven't had much success with Grave Pact a...

Re: Ratadrabik Legendary Death Loops

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 too will try out Tragic Arrogance in that slot. So far, my games with Rata have gotten close, but I've never real...

Ok, I am a little concerned that this commander and playstyle is just absolutely miserable to play against.

Re: The One Ring

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. I believe it was turn 5 when I played it. Out of curiosity, what effects stole it? I can't think of many commonly-played arti...

Re: The Rukarumel Conundrum

Honestly, I don't think its really even a competition if I was going to make that commander I would do it with elves. The reason I say elves is that slivers have some great top end selective cards and elves already have ramp and draw elements to them. I am not sure that it makes for a good elfball d...

Its possible that I just bail on the one drop idea entirely but I want to push a few more cheap legends in for now to test. Whisper, Blood Liturgist → Body Launderer - it fe...

For what it's worth I'm still not quite on the ban hammer for this. It's very, very strong, but I just haven't seen it at a casual level, and I think I would be throwing eyebrows at anyone who argued it was in the right place in that scene. I think if we're comparing it to Paradox Engine , which ta...
