Re: Will & Rowan Kenrith - Sparks of Ice and Fire (Superfriends)

The Enigma Jewel Locus of Enlightenment This card is intriguing in a number of ways. It costs 8u to Craft, but can tap to provide 2 of that, so it sort of costs 6u which is doable. Once its transformed into Locus of Enlightenment then you get the benefit of "Whenever you activate an ability th...

Re: The First Doctor + Jo Grant - Enchantment Cycling

I don't have anything to contribute but I really like the idea. There's probably an alternative 1st doctor deck bent around exploiting Restore Balance that could be built. I wanted to make a Planechase deck to use TARDIS / The First Doctor , but my friends didn't want a bar of playing with it. Casc...

The First Doctor + Jo Grant - Enchantment Cycling

Piggy-backing ideas from my Niv-Mizzet Reborn deck, this is centered around putting enchantments into the graveyard and then cascading into Resurgent Belief to put them into play. Resurgent Belief Tardis There are only 3 cards in the deck are 2 mana or under and they are Resurgent Belief , Fluctuato...

Re: Niv-Mizzet Reborn - Astral-Living-Genesis

How do you feel about the LOTR common landcyclers? They can't be found by Niv but they are extremely efficient I've always been on auto-pilot when it comes to cycling focusing on bi-colored, so didn't even consider them. There are other bi-colored cards that have cycling, but I've always focused on...

Re: Niv-Mizzet Reborn - Astral-Living-Genesis

Doctor Who set has quite a few bi-colored cards. Lunar Hatchling is the first land cycling creature since Alara Reborn, so I'm happy to include it as part of the original flavor of the deck. The Fugitive Doctor does a very similar role as Quintorius, Loremaster , but a little less risky. Just swappi...

Re: Twelfth Doctor Spellslinger: Allow Me To Demonstrate...

Vislor Turlough is interesting because cast from Command Zone you can Demonstrate and you'll end up giving 2 away. If the opponent is smart they will give you their copy, so that your copy will get the legend ruled. You keep and give away the new one so that the original can be kept or given away. ...

Re: Greven, Predator Captain - No Pain No Gain

I love the The Beast, Deathless Prince for this deck! Stealing a creature to sacrifice to Greven is really amazing tempo play and this also has a large body to sacrifice later. Probably unlikely to trigger the last ability, as you'll be sacrificing the stolen creature rather than connecting with it ...

Re: Twelfth Doctor Spellslinger: Allow Me To Demonstrate...

I think you need to think in terms of politics and power balancing games when building around 12th Doc. Who gets the copy? Make deals. Play cards that can effect players who are getting out of hand by directing 3 spells at them (opponent made to cooperate first). Glorious End kills an opponent. Beca...

Not on the battlefield

I would like "not on the battlefield" or "aren't on the battlefield" to be clarified thank you. For example I have the planar card Glimmervoid Basin in play. What happens if I cast Swords to Plowshares on a creature? Will all the creatures get exiled that are in libraries and hand?

Re: Aminatou, the Fateshifter - The 8-year-old Planeswalker

The Pandorica is a sweet new protection card perfect for phasing out a planeswalker each turn. Vronos, Masked Inquisitor did the same thing, but itself was vulnerable, and unfortunately the other abilities on the card I never used. I'm pretty okay with replacing it with The Pandorica in a similar r...

Re: Need cEDH perspectives on Xander

If the aim is to stop a single player then I think a counterspell deck would be good enough and running on a budget of $300-$500 you could just build a mono-blue deck to save on expensive multicolored lands. Baral, Chief of Compliance would be my pick. If he wants it to be interesting and varied to ...

Re: How many players in your game?

We never split into separate pods. Six players is the most we go with a "normal free for all" though. At 7+ players we will almost always switch to "Kingdom" format, which speeds games up with the victory conditions involved. Six players we will either do Free For All or Kingdom...

How many players in your game?

I'm always used to 4 players, 5 sometimes. But I'd say 4 is the average. Do you play in bigger groups? Some cards and decks do matter about number of opponents so I'm curious if some people have large groups that can make advantage of that. I imagine people who play at their LGS could/would get big ...

Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might

If I have Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might in play and I cast Shower of Sparks , will the Shower of Sparks deal 4 damage to the creature instead? Or does it still just deal 1 damage to creature and 4 to player? Same with Pyrohemia , if I activate for r will it deal 4 damage to each creature and each player?

Re: The Best Relentless Rats

Accumulated Knowledge would get out-of-hand pretty quickly. You'll be discarding a bunch of Accumulated Knowledge due to hand size. So you'll be doubling each time you discard end of turn.
