Re: Archangel Avacyn - Boros Voltron

I put Mistveil Plains in the deck because I am not running the recursion package that you do. It can be tutored by a fetch and it can put valuable equipment (there are plenty of equipment tutors in the deck to find them again) and instants for Sunforger back into the deck. Oh fair one, that makes s...

Re: Archangel Avacyn - Boros Voltron

Yeah, that is a good line of play if you suspect that the opponents won't remove Kellan right away and sets you up for the rest of the game nicely mana-wise. Not gonna lie, didn't even think of that :rofl: I was more thinking build up mana base and wanting Kellan to die so that I can cast the tutor...

Re: Archangel Avacyn - Boros Voltron

Would you mind taking a look at it? Sure :) I never thought about Kellan much, so could be interesting thought exercise. I agree with you about fast mana. I don't think you need it, not unless you are pushing for really fast games. I went that way because of Avacyn's CMC, and to get ahead of contro...

Re: Archangel Avacyn - Boros Voltron

You have written an excellent primer Peter/Avacyn Believer :)! Thank you! Voltron needs more love :heart:. Agreed! I have played Bruna, Light of Alabaster in the past myself (a list I still update from time to time), and this thread makes me want to put together a voltron commander again. Bruna is ...

Re: Mayael the Anima - Of Gods and Monsters

However, I plan to see if your idea of keeping her safe in the Commander zone until I can use her works. The way I do it is to cast her only if I know I will have 6 mana for her ability the next turn. One of my mates always plays control so I had to learn the hard way :rofl: And then once she is ab...

Re: Mayael the Anima - Of Gods and Monsters

Mayael was one of my first EDH decks! Unfortunately she's very fragile I found you can get around this by only playing her the turn before you can activate her. I used to suffer loosing her when the deck worked only because of her, but these days I can get games where I don't even cast her and stil...

Re: Mayael the Anima - Of Gods and Monsters

Not sure why you'd play either of those? There are better boardwipes like Blasphemous Act, and I'd suggest to use creatures that double power and/or damage so Mayael can put them on the battlefield.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

It occurred to me that Aradesh, the Founder would be a decent and unique voltron commander, but I started brewing and their really isn't really enough creatures worth enlisting. I like your thinking but maybe if Aradesh has more colours, at least [sym=w][sym=g] because mono-white is so hard to make...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

The fact that we keep calling the W/R combination "Boros" already molded us into seeing the color pair as nothing more than Ravnica's limited interpretation, Has it? Boros, like all the other terms used on EDHREC is just a name for the colour identity. Yeah it comes from Ravnica Guilds bu...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

The days of being able to fully digest a set and memorize cards is long gone for me, I would like it to be like it was before, it gave me time to appreciate each set and look forward to see ones more. But I think we just have to adapt to the new reality and hope it gets better, somehow. It's probabl...

aaagh it just doesn't wash. they're never been more out of ideas, more repetitive
considering how many sets they have to spew out each year I am not surprised. Before they had time to really focus on each set and spread out the releases and ideas, but now?

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Pardon an ignorant blue mage, but if you don't like the fact that Boros legends do Boros things, why do you want to play Boros? I'd say it is more to do with wanting different options in those colours, rather than just getting the same theme in those colours. As someone who has many Boros and Boros...

Oh boy @Avacyn Believer this could be more hairy than I initially thought with 15 new cards instead of 10 that could add much more support to make devoid eldrazi power level more on par with Zhulodok, Void Gorger/Kozilek, the Great Distortion decks, plus colorless matters is a huge theme in MH3 mai...

Re: Archangel Avacyn - Boros Voltron

Set Review [br] Fallout I don't get excited for new sets often anymore, but %$#%$#% I do like the Fallout set! Mostly I am excited because it has so much support for Equipment (and Auras), which I love to see, but also because I am a fan of the franchise. My biggest challenge with using cards from ...

Yeah, going actual historic would probably open too many cans of worms in this age.
Is Leonardo Da Vinci NOT a historical figure?
He is, but in this context its Da Vinci the character from Assassin's Creed, not the real Da Vinci... not much of a distinction, I know.

The protections are highly relevant, having protections from all instant spot removal, sorcery spot removal, damage-based wipes, and others. I am curious to collect data on this in my future games, see how often my commander dies to which types of cards, but on paper it feels better than protection...

If you have an island, a swamp, and a Darkwater Catacombs in your opening hand, it feels like the filter land is preventing you from casting Counterspell on T2.
