Even on its own, the Citadel can be a powerhouse. I have had a couple games where I used it for value rather than a "combo" piece and was able to build up a significant board for the "low" cost of 10-12 life or I was able to leave a Counterspell on top so I could counter somethi...

Indeed. My wife exclusively plays her Kaalia list any time she sits down to play MTG, so by default I play a cEDH style of game nearly every time I play with her and anyone else heh.

Will the new Kaalia find a slot in your regular Primer?

[mention]TearsOfTomorrow[/mention] Good to see you're making the switch to MTGNexus! Toc's Dralnu deck is a close approximation of how I would want to build a Reanimator deck, so I fully support it. Also, I LOVE the idea of your custom Planeswalkers and the project you're doing. I think there will b...

The formatting is coming along nicely, Kelzam. I've already taken the liberty of adding your Primer to the Directory, and I tingle with anticipation in seeing it in its final state. It's easily one of the most visually appealing Primers on MTGSal, hands down. The new Cavalier cycle seems really rele...

I recently added in Bolas's Citadel to my Yawgmoth deck and holy damnation it's stupidly powerful. Combined with Sensei's Divining Top and Aetherflux Reservoir and you have a stupidly powerful engine to win the game with. Anyways, my point being that you could probably add in Exsanguinate or Tendril...

All hail the liaison to Kaalia and his Primer! I'll be transitioning over my Multi-Player Kaalia to the cEDH side of Nexus, but I'm pleased to see that you've made the transition over here. Welcome!

Indeed, there was much mourning in the land as Paradox Engine was ban-hammered away. I too see and agree the rationale for banning it, so I can't say I'm too upset. That said, have you considered the other Rituals? Dark Ritual seems particularly awesome for both flavor and acceleration with Dralnu. ...

I like this list a lot. Is Kestia, the Cultivator not good enough for the deck? It seems like a solid card all around and additionally rewards you for playing enchantments.

As a dedicated Dimir mage, I oppose this deck on principle and glare at you from afar.

I'm curious about the lack of hard ramp effects in your deck. While I recognize that they're kinda weak overall, why not include Priest of Titania and a mana dork package?

I like me some introductions! It's great to learn a little bit more about our player base. I'm also deeply grateful that y'all are making the switch to MTGNexus. Lots of love for MTGSal, but it's time for a new face and damn does Nexus deliver. My name is Ben and my immediate family came up with Ben...

My sincere sympathies, comrade! I too feel to mourn the glorious Engine and its recent banning. Hopefully it won't detract too much from your general strategy. Would Unwinding Clock be a decent stopgap for your strategy?

With the banning of Paradox Engine as of 7/8/2019, this deck lost an incredibly powerful combo and mana production piece. While the core strategy isn't directly affected, the Engine's banning makes the deck a little more fragile since it depends on 2 different combo lines exclusively whereas the Eng...

I agree that both cards being banned is absolutely reasonable and fine, so I'm not too upset honestly. But...

Sad day. As an avid cEDH U player, I'm sad to wave Paradox Engine goodbye.

It was hella fun while it lasted!

Praise the almighty Island and thank you for this.

Of course! Us U players stick together against the unenlightened Gruul mages that, strangely, continue to exist.

These are all great points. While hoser and I are still deliberating on how we want to format the Standard threads, I think we'll certainly take your suggestions in stride and follow some advice. My initial thoughts is that we'll probably let specific users host and maintain specific Primers. It wil...

Have you found Leovold, Emissary of Trest to be too broken as a Commander choice? It was banned as a Commander in regular EDH, so I'm curious as to why it's in your Cube or if you've found it to be fair.

Hot damn, [mention]cryogen[/mention] . You could sell this as a book! My sincere compliments and support on this. I'll reference it everywhere I go!

The list looks really awesome, darrenhabib. The coding is also on point! Mad props on figuring out the differences. Have you considered the new Chandra, Awakened Inferno ? Seems really quite good and the fact that you can give opponents emblems for free seems stupidly broken. I know my inner Control...
