Re: Was WotC's embrace of Commander a good thing?

It's a bad thing if you lack the self control to say no to building new decks. It's fair to middling if you can convince yourself you don't need every new card and just because a removal spell is "better" than terminate|pls , doesn't mean that removal spell is meaningfully pushing your gam...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Fetchland Appreciation Day

Fixing shouldn't be this effective. It erodes the structure of the game that multicoloured manabases carry so little requirement and risk. Also I love my perfect manabases and you can take them from my cold, dead hands. Perfect mana is a privilege, not a right. And I say that as a fetchland connois...

Build-Your-Own True-Name Nemesis wasn't something I knew I could have but here we are. And it's in the right colours, even. Huh.

Pretty reasonable, I think. Emblem reached in one turn and is quite strong, as you expect from permanent cost reduction. Still a mythic that's under a buck.

Re: Budget deck price and philosophy?

Kei Takahashi slivers because 1) slivers are conventionally 5c, 2) Kei is the Null Rod of commanders because it doesn't do anything and I was challenged to do something with it beyond just being there for the colours. Got a deck list? I finally got around to it. This is a theory build that was conc...

Re: STATE OF THE FORMAT 2024

I feel like some of you didn't understand their reasoning behind some of the bans. For instance, with recurring nightmare, it's not just the power level, which is high but fair by today's standards, but that it creates extremely repetitive gameplay. They said in the description that once you cast i...

Re: STATE OF THE FORMAT 2024

Recurring Nightmare and G-Brand unban when? Don't give me that crap that G-Brand is busted when we can play a legal tutour that gets the exact card we want at a given time for 2 life and a sacrifice. 0 mana universal tutour > 0 mana random seven off the top. Full stop. Nightmare is just fair, reason...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Alchemist's Refuge

he fact that the deck has ad naus lines, I spent my lunch thinking about this. This seems the worst place to have ad naus lines ever since the angels, demons and dragons are so high MV wise. how do you play it? like the old modern deck with "You cant lose the game"? The typical Kaalia at ...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Kaalia of the Vast

The only good thing I can say about Kalia is her flavor text: "I'll have my revenge if I have to call on every force from above and below" I don't even know what she wants revenge for, but that's badass, especially because it's supported by her actual text box. Story time! It looks like t...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Pact of the Serpent

her price went down hard, i'm guessing so did people playing her. Multiple reprints will do that. Rather have her $10 than $30 so more people can enjoy her. Kaalia is imo a terrible design. She's like...peak "Jon commander". Either she's going to win on turn six because she got to run amo...

He already has hexproof so the shroud is irrelevant…he's a terrible blocker so untapping is basically irrelevant…he only has 2/2 stats so the + and - is mostly irrelevant (I guess up to +3 power with godhead but that's expensive and conditional)…are you using this just to give the guy Flig...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Pact of the Serpent

mtg trivia aside, I've never seen this used to do anything besides generate infinite mana by enchanting a mana dork that produces 2+ mana on tap, which is cringe. Another "up to no good" card. Nobody outside of draft is playing this fairly. Idk guys. We used to put this on our Geist of Sa...

Re: Budget deck price and philosophy?

I generally try my best to steer clear from cards that are ten dollars or more, and try to find cheaper versions that do the same but are different way to achieve it For example, I'm debating if I should buy Bitter Ordeal for an infinite combo or look for a cheaper version, since manabox says that ...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Pact of the Serpent

Never seen this before, but it looks fine? I suspect, if your willing to tie your card draw to your board presence, their are cards with higher ceilings, and if you, like me, want your card draw to work even after a board wipe, then you don't consider it in the first place. It's also targeted. I've...
