Re: Arcades, the Strategist: Wall-Ball Combo

@Moth I was trying to digest your pile and I noticed there are only 97 cards in there. 98 if you include Muddle. Yet, I don't think Muddle will help you search for either the Isochron Scepter or Dramatic Reversal since they're both 2 CMC and Muddle is 3 CMC. Or, do you use Muddle to search for somet...

Uggghhh...I need to read slower and more carefully. Thanks!! Tombstone is pretty sweet, even more so in multiplayer.

Re: Teysa: Sacrificing Tokens for Fun and Profit

I think your addition explaining infinite combos is GREAT!! Thanks! I've seen other folks discuss them around the web so it provides extra value to your "possible primer". Tombstone Stairwell : Folks are saying how great it is as a token generator on the Varina thread and you're using it f...

Re: Arcades, the Strategist: Wall-Ball Combo

I definitely think he'll be a serious value commander. We do cast a lot of cheap creatures and flicker them, but ETB is not the same as casting so I can see the synergy not being quite there. I'm seriously considering replacing either Ulvenwald Captive or Shaman of Forgotten Ways with Faeburrow Elde...

Re: Teysa: Sacrificing Tokens for Fun and Profit

Ok. On the mana-fixing vein, would you generally prefer to play Terramorphic Expanse over Ash Barrens ? With the caveat that Fabled Passage and, of course, Prismatic Vista are higher on the food change than Terramorphic? Seems like with Terramorphic and Evolving Wilds you're guaranteed to fix on tur...

Re: Arcades, the Strategist: Wall-Ball Combo

Thanks for the Winds vs Austere assessment. Makes sense. What are you thoughts on adding Chulane, Teller of Tales to the 99? He seems like a massive card advantage Commander, but his high CMC may not jive with this deck as much. However, I do love that you can further ramp later on IF you manage to ...

Re: Teysa: Sacrificing Tokens for Fun and Profit

Ahhh. I actually liked Barrens more since Myriad seems so slow, but that makes sense why one would choose Myriad over Barrens. I guess Barrens would tend to be better in 3+ colored Commander decks then. Maybe I'll pull it from Teysa. Thanks for the that! Krosan Verge seems far far better than Myriad...

Re: Teysa: Sacrificing Tokens for Fun and Profit

I'll probably play the deck a couple times in the next two weeks, so I'll let you know how Ayara goes. First, I have to receive the card in the mail. One thing I would say about 1v1 vs multiplayer is that it is a lot easier to win a 1v1 game via grinding out your opponent with card advantage. Howeve...

Re: Teysa: Sacrificing Tokens for Fun and Profit

Hard to pin down an exact CMC, since it depends so much on your meta, but I would say that around 3-3.5 is usually fine. Multiplayer games tend to go longer, so you have more time to play expensive spells. It does depend a lot on the meta though - the faster your meta is, the lower you'll want your...

Re: Teysa: Sacrificing Tokens for Fun and Profit

Oh yeah, I really should add Buried Alive to my deck, but I was trying to avoid mass reanimation. Maybe I should add a couple of those too?

Re: Teysa: Sacrificing Tokens for Fun and Profit

Wow. Thanks for the Throne of Eldraine review! Syr Konrad seems intriguing to me. He costs quite a bit, but recurring him should help. So, I've been thinking about our respective decks. One thing I didn't mention is that I have no playgroup at the moment. I simply have a co-worker who I can play wit...

Re: Teysa: Sacrificing Tokens for Fun and Profit

Yeah, I contemplate the same regarding the balance between lifegain and beneficial-lifedrainers. Currently, I'm running Soul Warden and Blind Obedience as opposed to Authority of the Consuls , which I have but chose Blind O instead. So far so good. Here's a link my decklist: https://archidekt.com/de...

Re: Teysa: Sacrificing Tokens for Fun and Profit

I appreciate how much work you put into this, but it's sad to see no comments. I've been working on my OG Teysa deck for several months now having come back to MTG after a 10+ year hiatus. Commander seems like my speed, so I've been building decks. I'm up to five now that I play here and there. Teys...

Oh yeah, I realize Winds of Abandon is slightly scalable, but why not run Austere Command instead?

Re: Arcades, the Strategist: Wall-Ball Combo

Any thoughts on Crashing Drawbridge ? Also, my deck tends to lean more towards Benjameenbear's and I noticed in your Alternate Build section you have an older version of Ben's decklist. He posted changes on the MTG Salvation site on May 15, 2019, but I just noticed that his "official" desk...

Re: Card list by Role/Function - What's your approach?

If I find it, I'll post that decklist example, but Sanity basically has it. It was just a short description a la:

Sacrifice: X
Ramp: X
Draw: X

They had it sorted from highest to lowest too.

Re: Card list by Role/Function - What's your approach?

I agree that organizing by type isn't as useful as by function for me to develop a quicker understanding of what the deck is trying to do. However, I find it a bit distracting when I read decklists that list the same card under multiple function categories. To me I initially "see" a Comman...
