Re: Is White getting better?

By product of white getting all these nice new toys... they are quite expensive. Eventually when we get our 3rd or 4th version of these effects, saturation will occur and prices will drop, but it seems every white card that is good in multiple archetypes is $30-$40. Though that isn't exclusive to w...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Honestly red has had the most organic level of growth and improvement in EDH. It's been slow and steady. Green has felt like a boulder rolling down a hill. I actually like that WOTC is going the red route with white. Obviously white needs improvements and support for EDH but I agree with those sayin...

Re: What mechanics would you like to see in future Commander precon decks?

I would love to see amass!

Granted the current cards we have aren't great but I threw together a Grix amass deck and it has been fun to play. With the right commander it could be better.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

A friend reminded me that you could just Generous Gift something of your own to get a green token. A lot of hoops but I'm going to try it! If you are fine with that, Sarpadian Empires, Vol. VII seems like it should be in the deck. It can help with any color you might not have a permanent of yet. St...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

I got so excited when I saw Mascot Exhibition because I thought it would help trigger Happily Ever After in mono white but then read it again and realized there was no green in there. Why or why didn't they let it make a fractal token too?

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

What are people's thoughts on Gilanra, Caller of Wirewood ? On the one hand he is a ramp spell in the command zone and gives you access to green as part of your color identity. On the other, he is a worse Llanowar Visionary until you draw your second card off of his mana. Also it seems like it woul...

Probably an exercise in futility but I'm determined to make Radiant, Serra Archangel work. Until today I figured the best partner for her was Siani, Eye of the Storm but what do people think of Gilanra, Caller of Wirewood ? Gives you the ramp from green and a small payoff with card draw.

This is probably a silly question but. Does the second ability on Archelos, Lagoon Mystic nullify the abilities on Thalia, Heretic Cathar and Urabrask the Hidden and other similar cards when he is in play along with them?

Re: The Mono White Compendium

If it's any help I've read through a lot of the ones you've done previously and I've never gotten a crabby tone. I think you are a realist with the ones that generally aren't going to lend themselves to leading a strong or overly functional deck. And sometimes it is just natural to be disappointed. ...

I think you get a free Paradox Haze . Like, it just appears on the battlefield. Kodama is too good. Radiant is too bad. I was thrilled when I saw the art and then :dizzy: when I saw that CMC. I'm guessing they intend her for a W/U flying matters deck. She pairs ok with Siani, Eye of the Storm I gue...

Hatebears are for sure something I have to get better at running. I have certainly found myself in situations like you described above where they don't do anything.

Re: Bruna's Human Squad

I love this list! I have to admit I was indifferent to the TWD cards until they spoiled Rick. I love Mono W and humans so I was very tempted to brew a deck around him. But I'm holding off until they hopefully print him as an actual card. He seems like such an Odric template. I toyed around with a Br...

I've always liked this card but can never find a place for it. I've tried running in a hatebears deck but it ends up getting cut. It's so situational and narrow.

Wasn't Iona another angel that didn't wear the halo around her head? Although she was one of the greater archangels of Zendikar so perhaps that is why?

Re: [M21] Liliana, Waker of the Dead - preview from WotC's twitch stream

My big complaint is I was really hoping that the black planeswalker would be Davriel since his War card didn't do a good job of capturing his abilities. This card is okay. I like the art, but the abilities don't really excite me. Yeah I was kind of hoping for a new mono B planeswalker or a new vers...

Re: Your favourite "big dumb fatties" generals

Rhonas the Indomitable

The fun part is that he lets you run a bit of control via the fight mechanic which works wonderfully with his deathtouch and indestructible.

My favorite ever moment with this deck was slapping on a Lure to him and then letting all my other fatties run through.

I suppose if you need the indestructible the Amonkhet gods are better for that since they are always creatures. Although then you get caught up in those gods' can't attack/block restrictions.
