Cards in my deck that aren't in yours: Yavimaya Hollow Okina, Temple to Grandfathers Maze of Ith Rhonas, the Indomitable God-Eternal Rhonas Nylea, God of the Hunt Myojin of Life's Web Sekki, Seasons' Guide Mana Vault Rancor The Great Henge Phyrexian Dreadnought Song of the Dryads Dragon Throne of Ta...

Oh geez. RabidVacin traded me the last card that I needed for this deck, and I sleeved it up and brought it out tonight for Commander Night (special webcam edition). I read Grothama's stats, and I was promptly told to go die. Then I got to her ability and people said "Oh. OH!" Opponents we...

Yeah, I decided to go with the BSZ and see if I can copy it a few times and then Vortex them out. It's absolutely nuts with 1k-Year Storm. Blue Sun for 5, copy it with Kalamax, Fork it. OK, Storm copies Fork once, so you draw 20 cards. Cerebral Vortex, Storm copies it twice, you draw 6 and take 72 d...

I made a ton of cuts, and so I'm definitely looking for the last few cards to go back in. Melek is out, since he does kill the element of surprise, and he's expensive. Wort might go in. I added a couple more mana rocks - Gilded Lotus seemed good, and Pyromancer's Goggles seems like a no-brainer incl...

What's spider fog?

Probably Arachnogenesis.

Correct! I'll go back and edit tags in.

Ulka also brewed up a list, and one of the cards that's on his list is Spider Fog , which I now have to add. Out: All three Guildmages - too limiting, too fragile, and too expensive to use. Naru Meha - I don't want to pay 4 for a fork with a body. Bonus Round - Tough call, but I feel like this is w...

SquirrelToken pokken Thank you both. I got the LED for right at $150, and picked up the other 3 cards for a total of $320. Even though it has been a couple weeks, LED is currently at $236 tcg market, so I think I got a good deal there. Diamond and Intuition will hold there value I think, and I agre...

My brother gifted me with a Kalamax Precon (totally unexpected) and I've played it right out of the box. It's a ton of fun, frankly, and I didn't know that copying spells would be so fun and satisfy my inner Control player so well. Anyways, my critique of your decklist is that it focuses heavily on...

So, I don't see it in the decklist, but I see it on Grothama's edhrec page frequently, and I'm of the opinion that it deserves a slot here, Dragon Throne of Tarkir . A massive, repeatable overrun effect, who cares that Grothama isn't attacking, that's one activated ability away from crushing death....

Ayy, Artaud reemerged :) Been a while since I've seen you around. Rancor is a brilliant catch. I actually apparently ran Surrak in my list, but I think I got more mileage out of him as a follow-up to a top-up, to get subsequent beefslabs rolling along quickly. The risk-averse way to deploy Hug Slug...

Cryptic Gateway is a definite cut, especially because I'm not tribal. Crackleburr is a card that I've always loved and never found a home for, so I'm a little loath to cut it but it's probably the right call.

Yavimaya Hollow was the one that sprang to mind as I mulled over the concept while at work. I think that I automatically upgraded your Ghost Quarter and Tec Edge to Strip Mine and Wasteland in my head. No need to apologize - I think that we were thinking along similar lines, and that's great! I'm go...

If I don't have Metalcraft for Molten Psyche, then it's no good. I think that I at least rotate two lands in to help - Darksteel Citadel and Academy Ruins. I don't really want to cut too many more basics, so the trilands might be on the chopping block? Not entirely sure.

You need Seedborn Muse . Seedborn Muse is great, but it also untaps Kalamax, the Stormsire . If you don't have a reliable way to tap him multiple times, it works against your theme. Yeah, pretty much this. I have a couple cards that untap all my lands, and I could see adding another one. The Muse i...

Changelog: I couldn't find Jace's Sanctum, so I swapped in Cloven Casting. Then I realized that it costs 7 and only lets me double four of my spells, two of which are ramp spells, so I changed that out for Berserk which will absolutely win games. If I swing with a fresh Kalamax, Berserk makes him a ...

Hi Kyra. Rumpy sent me here after I mentioned Grothama to him. Love your primer. One question for you - other than OG Rhonas, is there anything that you'd add if you had an infinite budget? Considered Song of the Dryads over Lignify, for example?

Whirlwind of Thought really sucks if you can't legally make white mana to cast it :) Yikes. I initially read the card as costing Temur and not Jeskai. I guess that's what happens when I read from a spoiler and not from an actual card in front of me. Ahhhh, that sucks, I was really looking forward t...

LED sold listings on ebay are in the 120s as recently as Feb. Indicates very soft demand to me. Some recently selling under 150. February is after the Breach ban and before Lurrus was spoiled. Plus, as you mentioned, the pandemic is really throwing a monkey wrench into the works. I think that we're...

An instant- and sorcery- focused deck, and I forgot Mystic Sanctuary. Shame on me.

In those conditions it's probably fine, if they're accurate. It's not amazing. Your raw retail prices are about 195/230/50/40, so you're getting about a 15 dollar discount or whatever. I'd offer 450 for that package personally given the current market. Stuff is still high priced but it's not actual...

I know several states in the americas have basically issued a "only essentials" for stores. So certain stores LGS's would have to stay shut and take a hit. I feel that even if a LGS survives this whole ordeal its going to be set back very far. Some more than others that it would be just b...

First round changes: OUT: Burn Trail Giantbaiting God-Eternal Kefnet IN: Reset Wilderness Reclamation Nature's Will As much as I love cards that have built-in copy effects in my copy deck, turns out that Kalamax doesn't care one whit about sorceries, or Kefnet. So they're out. In exchange I'm going ...

Release notes on Kalamax: If Kalamax becomes tapped as a cost to cast your first instant spell in a turn, its first ability triggers. Kalamax's first ability considers the entire turn. If you cast an instant spell before Kalamax becomes tapped, its first ability won't trigger when you cast your seco...

Ikoria has a wealth of new generals from which to choose, and I decided to go with Kalamax for two reasons: 1) I'm tearing apart Maelstrom Wanderer, so I barely have to touch the manabase 2) Spell-copy seems like a really cool concept that I've never built. Commander (1) 1x Kalamax, the Stormsire La...

Sheldon, do you think that Jeter deserved to be a unanimous election to the HOF?
