Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Runechanter's Pike
I feel like I would always default to Glamdring if this effect is something I cared about. For 1 more mana on the equip you get a pretty significant upgrade, I think.

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange
I think it's totally reasonable to be running more lords here. Varina doesn't have to be built leaning into combo so hard. I actually like that the deck can very easily pivot amongst aggro, aristocrats, and combo. It just depends on how efficient you want to be, how aggressive/cutthroat. For myself,...

Well very very surprising Satoru, the Infiltrator card just became the chase one just seconds after release (It went for $8 to $20 in just one day.) I just got one on TCG for about $6.

Re: What's Behind Door #3? Kadena Morphs
Got a game in and saw a bunch of the new cards. Printlifter Ooze was the all-star! Came down early, and was making big blockers in the beginning to ward off attacks from dinos and wraiths. Later, it started making HUGE bodies (12/12 up to 18/18), and those ended up closing out the game. Hide in Plai...

Re: Let's get ugly with Ghired, Mirror of the Wilds - curing terminal EDH brain - dedicated to my buddy 3drinks [WIP]
Why would I build my deck around a brand new card that (in my estimation) won't even see play in this format? Ok, Culling Ritual then, which I see somewhat regularly. The protection creatures help, but that will depend upon sequencing. Ideally we only need to make 1-2 initial tokens before we kill ...

I fogot the "made this turn" part. You definitely need more repeatable token makers. Rionya, Fire Dancer, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Duke Ulder Ravengard, are going to provide a new token every turn to be copying, as can any of the various populate trigger permanents.

Pest Control wipes like 90% of your field. Any mass bounce spells set you way back. If you're going to run anything with an attack trigger (like the myriad guys) you really want to pack some ways to grant haste. Why no token doublers? Sure, you have the ability to make multiple tokens a turn off Gh...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Screeching Scorchbeast
I like the second effect a lot, but wish the card was either a Horror or 2 or 3 mana less. It's hard to justify including a non-horror that cannot mill opponents on my turn in Captain N'ghathrod that high on the curve.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Sauron, the Dark Lord
I agree that it's frustrating game design to have the tempt cards give you a card, and then Sauron wants you to wheel it away, especially in the case of Sauron's Ransom --why does HIS card work so poorly with him? Major fail. Otherwise, I think you're overlooking a few things. First, the ward abilit...

More stuff! I think we're done with spoilers, but it's hard to tell. We Ride at Dawn seems like strong support for legend-heavy decks. Not sure how many legends you need for it though - Teysa is at 12, which feels like a ton, but I'm not sure if that is actually enough. I think that's probably plen...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
Heartless Conscription I'm definitely going to try this in Prosper where I have generally shied away from non-one-sided board wipes, since Prosper already tends to draw removal, and it can be rough if I have to start casting him for 10+ mana. This solves that issue by sending Prosper to exile and g...

Re: Sefris of the Kind of Obvious Ways
Sefris triggers only once per turn on the venture. Copying it won't do anything. Well crud. Maybe a Strionic Resonator type effect instead? You can try that. I'm not a fan of Resonator--I feel like I rarely have mana open to spend on copying a trigger in any of the decks I've given it a shot. That ...

Re: Sefris of the Kind of Obvious Ways
Oh, I also don't think I'd bother with Delney in your list: you only have 5 creatures besides Sefris that it benefits, and for Sefris, it's only giving you the extra reanimate upon dungeon completion. Unless I'm playing it wrong, Delney is giving me the extra reanimate AND the extra venture. I've h...

I want to add that while Lost Mine is the preferred dungeon normally for its speed to completion, The Undercity provides so much value that I believe it's worthwhile including 3-5 ways to gain the Initiative.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
Gonti looks bad though @CommanderMaster999. Only triggers once per opponent? Ick. Ragavan is strong because he costs 1. For 5 mana I expect a LOT more. And I'd much rather have a treasure than a discount since you can bank the treasures even if you whiff. I mean compare Gonti to Plargg and Nassari ...
