Which do you like more?

[Atraxian]

That's a hard one.
I would probably err on Back to Basics, that way you are potentially making part of the manabase a 1-use only. Blood Moon just turns all nonbasics into colorless mana generators at worst.
Bending the rules a little because they are the same character, which of the 3 Teysas?
Teysa, Orzhov Scion, Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts or Teysa Karlov

[lyonhaert]

I'm going to go with Teysa Karlov. Just a great set of abilities, and the only one of the three I'd want to build.

vs

Haven't been in the thread as much - busy weekend, and it takes me a while to pick a couple cards.

[TheGildedGoose]

Ancient Stone Idol for sure. I play it in Daretti, Scrap Savant and it's pretty fun to weld since it makes a formidable token when it dies which can then be welded back out for the original Idol. It's also just a big, dumb robot, and big, dumb robots is that deck's MO.

[Rumpy5897]

Necropotence. They're both stellar, but Ad Nauseam tends to shine the brightest in ridiculously low curve competitive decks.

Here's an interesting one, the top two wipes in the format in my opinion. Which one takes the cake?

vs

[JoeyB11223]

Tough choice. Going to go with Blasphemous Act as it's often cast for R and wipes pretty much everything, though of course you miss Toxic for those indestructible voltron scenarios.

VS

[RxPhantom]

Well, if I'm running either in a given deck, I'd probably run both, but I like Nightveil here. I like playing other people's stuff.

VS.

[toctheyounger]

Exploration. As good as Burgeoning can be early game, once you're out of lands in hand it's a dead duck. Mid game onwards you're more or less not making use of it at all, which is troublesome in a 100-card singleton format.

vs

[Gashnaw]

While citadel can easily end games with the whole "minus ten" i prefer reservoir, a storm deck loves it and even a non storm deck than can cast a few spells a turn will like it. In EDH where you start with 40, before long you can use its -50 and not die yourself.

or

[lyonhaert]

Yes.

I have to pick one, though? Dang. Anger. Trample is good, but I'd rather have a haste enabler in an aggressive deck (because a lot of the creatures are probably going to come with evasion anyway).

vs

[Gashnaw]

Restorer.
While Elder uncaps 2, it is one mana more, and it i not like you are gonna be using them to block. So I rather have a 2G to untap 1 or later on untap 3.
Granted early game Elder may be teh better bet. But again still costs one more mana.


Keeping up with the incarnations

[JovialJovian]

Wonder, mass evasion is stronger than mass combat advantage in my opinion. If you were to throw in Filth though, I'd have to go with that one, as I think it's the best of that cycle.

vs

[Vessiliana]

I prefer Asceticism, since the hexproof is passively available. I occasionally run Asceticism. I always cut Glory.

Eternal Witness vs Regrowth

Im gonna keep going with incarnations

[Myllior]

Hmm, do I go for the simplicity and effectiveness of Dread, or the big, splashy plays of Hostility with Earthquake tribal and the like? I'll go with Dread because it just does its thing and doesn't need to be enabled, although I'm sure Hostility has resulted in more epic stories than Dread has.

vs.

[Atraxian]

Have to go with The Ur-Dragon, mainly because I'm a sucker for big Timmy creatures with specific creature types like Dragons or angels. Moreover, you have the flexibility of an up to 5 colors deck and if you are running a dragon tribal, the eminence effects gives you nice extra value even with the commander never hitting the field.

Avacyn, Angel of Hope Vs. Archangel Avacyn//Avacyn, the Purifier

vs.

[Gashnaw]

OG avacun. Second one only gives creatures indestructible and only for a turn. Her transformation isn't amazing either.

[Sinis]

Vigor is way more broadly applicable. Purity just... feels bad.

Sorin, Lord of Innistrad. His plus makes lifelink era. Is neg creates a banner. And his Ult is sick.

Thelonite does not have an echo, I don't like having to pay an aiddtional 5 the next turn just tokeep the +1/+1

(There are 12 Chandras so i may go through all of them)

[Sinis]

Chandra Ablaze, easy pick. Easy hand-disruption/advantage, 4 damage by pitching something probably named Squee or with Phoenix in its title. Ult in easy reach that can be totally devastating. Nothing not to like.

- OR -

[Skello496]

Scour from Existence. Instant speed, not forecasted, and 3 cheaper.

[RxPhantom]

Brago is just more fun, and I really hate playing against Augustin. I hope he dies alone in some Ravnican back alley of a stab wound and left to be eaten by a dreg mangler. Or something. Anywho...

VS.

[Sinis]

Deffo Lord of the Accursed. Reaper is okay graveyard hate, but has nothing on other options (like Withered Wretch), while Menace for a pile of tokens or hard-cast Zombies is a great boon. Lord of the Accursed can also assist with Eternals, or an Amassed token.

- OR -

[Hawk]

Is it fair to say "neither - I prefer to run Overwhelming Forces or Decree of Pain? Assuming that answer is cheats, I'd say it's In Garruk's Wake in most decks, and Hellfire in mono-black that has a lifegain/life spending component but isn't tribal (and thus can't abuse Kindred Dominance).

My question:

or

[marioguy3]

The Mycosynth Wellspring is better because it is a budget way of fixing colors for those decks that run mainly basic lands. It also has more of an "epic" art feel to it. I've used the Mycosynth Wellspring more and found it competent for my Izzet deck in the past.

Oh how I wish Unstable would be legal all the time....
