Not a fan per se, just the "too slow" aspect. Oh, they're good in a slow meta, but that's about it. Not even my many Stax decks run them.

Oh, in other news, still waiting on that white Delay, WotC. ⌛

For something more universal, City of Brass , Mana Confluence , Shimmering Grotto , or Cavern of Souls works wonders with this. You can also use painlands or to a more limited extent three-color taplands with it, like if you don't have any plains, but you do have this, and you need w now, so you pla...

Tuesday, September 13th, 2022; Sram's Expertise Sram's Expertise Surely you can find some use for three bodies + a free < 3mv spell. ≤ We would also accept <= but < implies a mv equal to exactly 3 is forbidden. Yeah, this is one of those cards people forget about. The addition of a free spell is al...

The card draw rate is always going to be good and you can brush off the 5 life in a 40-life format. The Maro Demon token mode is fun! Not quite a Maro. Its P/T is determined when it's created. But yeah, there really is no reason not to run this. It can also be useful just for the pseudo-Maro in Nek...

Efficient, though just a bit boring. I'm not saying milling 6 for b isn't good; it is.

I actually had several card ideas along this line to represent a resurrectionist, though this was not my final design.

How do I break thee? Let me count the ways. First, I must needs have Parallel Lives , Anointed Procession or similar to properly break thee. With two of them, we're already here. Purphoros, God of the Forge Warstorm Surge or Pandemonium Soul sisters Mana Echoes Cathars' Crusade Grave Pact and friend...

Why is Miren this expensive?!? Just never reprinted? I'd say four mana for this effect is bad, bad enough to avoid (except for combos)! Basically it's a fairly unique colorless effect on a land which actually taps for mana. If you just want a sac outlet, High Market is more your jam. If you're in b...

Obvious synergy is with Task Force. You can just do whatever the hell you want with that infinite life.

I mean, it triggers landfall as well, and it taps for two mana of different colors. (The different colors makes it different from, say, Fyndhorn Elder.)

Needs trample to be a real beater.

Angel of Despair still has value in Kaalia, and there's still a pretty significant gap between 7 and 8 mana.

That said, Ashen Rider is so much better, it's not funny.

If it's narrow for your deck, it's fine, and I'm confident something like Hallar, the Firefletcher or Laelia, the Blade Reforged will eventually get enough support.

Narrow hate is a whole other animal.

This could get busted fast, what with all the "can't be blocked" creatures in blue.

Colorless worse Grand Abolisher. With two colors, it's strictly better than Vulshok Morningstar; with three, strictly better than Vulshok Battlegear.

They are outdated. The Reality Chip is cuter. Are they though? It costs 3UU to get this outta The Chip ™ contrasted to the Iiconic 2UUU of future sight effects. And chip still needs a body to attach itself to, in order to pull it off. It does, but it doesn't telegraph itself. I don't like my oppone...

Oh yes, these two. First, let me say I love the M.C. Escher aesthetic. Secondly, while I prefer "you may look at the top card", those of you who know me know I hate giving out information (I make an odd exception for the Scents and Seers because the Seers are reusable and four of the Scent...

Terravore is interesting in theory as something that can be b i g for cheap and not that much effort, but in actuality, self-mill green decks definitely have a plan that's something other than "attack with a 25/25 trampler I guess" And if you're doing self-mill, black and blue also come t...

You can still use it if you have infinite mana. But then Comet Storm, Entreat the Angels, Decree of Justice, Increasing Confusion, and Exsanguinate all exist.

For me New Sheoldred is going in a few decks. Mostly Nekusar and Oloro. But she can go in any black deck.

Like. Experiment Kraj, Animar, Soul of Elements, Prime Speaker Zegana, The Mimeoplasm, and so on can flip it easy. And if you don't have one of those, just run Increasing Savagery.

I'm guessing Grafdigger's Cage fills the slot instead. Maybe Rest in Peace , too. Just get rid of the GY instead of imprison it. All those other 1cmc GY artifacts exist, too. I've always ignored the second ability, but I like your use of it. Enough that I need to pick up one of these! In black, we ...

I mean, it has value in some decks. Atraxa, Praetors' Voice , Rafiq of the Many , that sort of thing. At the same time, Derevi, Empyrial Tactician and Arcades, the Strategist would frown on having too high power. At least my version, which tends to do everything to freeze out anyone with too high po...

Definitely the best targeted theft spell. (The best theft spell is Insurrection just because if it doesn't end the game, what are you doing with your life?.)

Not that good. 6 mana to flip is just too much, and you don't get to cast these spells for free.

First, remember to take out anything that can easily kill you in a turn. This includes all infect creatures (save for Chained Throatseeker ), since one Might of Oaks can make them into a mess. For the most part, live and let live. Only use removal when necessary in multiplayer. Even something like P...

You can draw the game with this and Repercussion . 👀 #BadAdviceFrom3drinks Imagine the fallout if Unfinity had a card that said "If the game would end in a draw, you win instead." *snap* Done. Doomsday Cultist 1wb Creature—Human Cleric Defender If the game would end in a draw, you win the...
