annihilate mana dorks, esper sentinel, ragavan, anything else that's 1 toughness (which tends to be a lot)

even outside of cedh this would probably be decent for clearing tokens

[gritty nest]

ragavan is red

oh nevermind

im ignorant

yea i forgot vats existed, thank you

[trail anvil]

I currently also run 2-more 1-drop or less evasive creatures, idk the math on it but you definitely need to see it turn 1 or you aren't doing anything

ornithopter, faerie seer and network disruptor are other considerations

[gritty nest]

i added disruptor since that was the one i didnt have

[trail anvil]

I'd also run some other dual color lands in place of the surveil land prolly

wait are you playing cedh tables or just regular edh tables where you're trying to overpower

[gritty nest]

regular but building strong to have another stomp stompers deck

[trail anvil]

cause stuff like mental misstep is not gonna function well at regular tables

[gritty nest]

ive just cut misstep tbh

[trail anvil]

miscast also won't work well probably

if you're just doing regular tables then deckbuilding is gonna be a lot different I think

[gritty nest]

fair

i was thinking of cutting fierce guardianship and offer you cant refuse

[trail anvil]

guardianship is just a generically good thing tbh

[gritty nest]

true

ill cut offer either way, fuck my opponent getting mana

[trail anvil]

wishclaw I'd just cut too then

if you aren't worried about instant kills then the priority is probably not tutoring super hard

[gritty nest]

fair

[trail anvil]

you can cut the 0-drops besides ornithopter too

[gritty nest]

long term ill keep because it can potentially be used with Yuriko either way

what about only keep ornithopter because it has evasion on a 0 drop body?

sorry

[trail anvil]

yeah basically

ah

ive barely played Black Flag

i just did the quest to get the assassin blades

thats like the 3rd mission lol

ive been replaying it recently

Adrestia is also another good card

[gritty nest]

have it already

[stark skiff]

they did reprint conspiracy too for one more black mana to get the same thing on an enchantment

[gritty nest]

i saw lol

im debating on it

[lusty trench]

Me thinking about how with the right deck this windfalls and equivalents for a shit ton of treasures

Huh

[gritty nest]

but it's maybe not entirely worth due to just 2 cards and 90% of my creature lineup will already be the types I need

i'm not looking at EDHREC for this deck, same with another deck im working on

I'd want to build a deck around shao jun but she reads meh and I feel like she plays even worse

thats the tap 2 artifacts burn for 1 right?

[lusty trench]

Just a bad commander for artifacts in a colour combo that isn't struggling for them

Yeah

she'd be great in the 99 of like artifact vomit decks

I can't seem to pull the MDFCs I actually want from this pack but at least I'm pulling mythics like crazy

they run no fast mana

the guy's deck was kinda shit other the mana rocks

[twilit canyon]

???

im so confused then

what the fuck was their curve

i play 27 lands but my curve is 1.01

[copper pecan]

they were playing a skullbriar deck with a bunch of equips and folded immediately after someone else played the overload card that blows up all artifacts

they didn't draw any lands other than bayou for the entire game and never even casted skullbriar

which color did you get?

Rainbow

I regret not holding onto it

[stark skiff]

Wow and you didn’t sell it to me

[glad peak]

Soooo I might be doxxing myself but a shop opened up nearby owned by Cassius Marsh

There’s apparently going to be “commander events with large cash prizes” so I hope we can use proxies because it’ll be cedh for sure

[golden plover]

Nah, Cassius is no proxy cedh

Which is lame

[stark skiff]

see you there kid

[trail anvil]

eh if it's for big money I think at that point disallowing proxies makes sense

when you get to serious tournament level

[golden plover]

I guess that's fair, but it locks cedh into being an already rich person's tournament

Because you sure as hell can't afford a no-proxy cedh deck if you don't already have a lot of money

[glad peak]

Idk how much the prize is but I’m pretty sure a good number of people are going to get punked into joining thinking it’s pretty casual

[copper pecan]

edh kinda sucks as a tournament format

[glad peak]

True but for the right price and prize, it might be worth trying out

[glad peak]

Wait is he actually? Oof

[golden plover]

Yeah, I think it kinda sucks for cedh to do no proxy

[glad peak]

I don’t know much about the guy, almost missed it when the person said who the owner was lol

[golden plover]

Sure you might win like an alpha dual or whatever, but for the $15k to get the alpha dual, you've bought your cedh deck

[sleek ferry]

If it’s like the last big event than yeah no proxies

Last big event had a black lotus as the prize though iirc

If I was you, I would just take Magda or any mono color commander

Teferi won the last one

[glad peak]

How much is Magda nowadays

[sleek ferry]

The last one that won was like 2.5k ?

But if you have a good chunk of cedh staples

It’s probably under 800

[glad peak]

Maybe then

There are other shops in the area that allow proxies so hopefully that’s at least some pressure to let us use proxies

But highly doubtful

[trail anvil]

are those shops also giving out black lotuses as prizing

[glad peak]

Nope but they’re giving alpha duals

Also they specified cash prizing so I don’t think it’s anywhere near lotus

[trail anvil]

o I was going off of this

[stark skiff]

is there a site i can make a mtg list to share as a guest or do they all require accounts?

[glad peak]

I think mtggoldfish didn’t need one?

[trail anvil]

ik mtggoldfish and archidekt don't

I think moxfield doesn't? I don't remember tho

[glad peak]

Just do what I do, excel sheet

[glad peak]

What commander has the most accessible 1 card combos?

There’s godo of course but let’s take mana into consideration as a card for 3 mana

[sudden lava]

https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/0/b/0b2f7397-9d75-4667-8872-e58a39512583.jpg?1691497909

She makes some weird combos

[glad peak]

Sure but they’re nowhere near as accessible as a lot of commanders

[sudden lava]

https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/7/b/7b608134-cfc3-48bf-92d8-35d732fcde54.jpg?1682205787

Yeah we’re not doing that lol

Way too much mana

[sudden lava]

forgot what the god equivalent is

oh found it

https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/a/7/a70cb6d9-3955-4064-917b-11dec26440c5.jpg?1631053286

slightly less expensive

[glad peak]

We’re not going to be anywhere near that mana cost for the purposes of this deck

[trail anvil]

I'm also inexperienced in this area but I can't help but wonder if it's derevi/najeela

[twilit canyon]

i think its either ukkima or najeela

like raw commander + single card

ukkima has technical 3 cards it auto wins off of

najeela has the same

[trail anvil]

for the sake of learning, I'm guessing food chain is one of them for ukkima? what are the others?

[twilit canyon]

consultation and pact

since they go to your food chain

[trail anvil]

ic

[twilit canyon]

but, can serve as a two card with thoracle

[trail anvil]

btw misty where do you usually play cedh?

cockatrice is very far from ideal already for regular edh, it gets even worse there somehow lol

[twilit canyon]

right now? i dont really lol

[trail anvil]

ah rip

[twilit canyon]

im testing some stuff for ukkima with my sister

thats it

if u want dedicated cedh pods, the /r/cedh discord server has consistent lfg

and ppl playing constantly

pretty well moderated and queer safe server

ik they generally do webcam but they also do cockatrice

[trail anvil]

god I've joined so many discord servers lately but I might

[twilit canyon]

that ones one where i can at least attest to it being a good one. i think they do have some casual pods? idr

[trail anvil]

tbh it'd be nice to find more casual online pods too

I really wanna be able to test out new decks or even just use my IRL ones more

[rigid scarab]

Gonna be real casual online pods suck ass

One of the reasons casual edh has built up a negative stigma

[trail anvil]

ik that's why I'm trying to find a regular one that doesn't

usually my irl pods are good

[rigid scarab]

There's where you find the pubstompers, the interaction whiners, the people complaining that their deck "isn't being let to do its thing"

[trail anvil]

I get the interaction whiners the most, the "that's not a 7!" crowd

I know one dude who regularly ragequits if any player is playing group hug at any capacity

[gritty nest]

sounds like someone i know

will personally hard target the group hug player

i would do online pods if I knew a group and had a decent setup

[broken fjord]

I run a gluntch group hug deck, but put in a really dumb win condition so that I'm at least trying to win while hugging everyone. It's a manland + book of exalted deeds combo deck.

[trail anvil]

same but for my wincon I just put a bunch of +1 counters on my things then kill people with a double striking 11/16 flying jellyfish

it's really fun casting approach of the second sun and turning from the best buddy of the table into nicol bolas immediately though

[gritty nest]

i never really liked the idea of group hug myself, but the ideas sound funny

[broken fjord]

Oh, it's very funny. I showed my friend after our game, since I happened to win another way. He was very upset, since no one in the pod ran anything that could hit lands.

[trail anvil]

I feel like most people tend not to run any land destruction, even field of the ruin-like cards

[broken fjord]

Well, Chaos Warp woulda beaten it. Same with Beast Within or Generous Gift. But no one had those. That said, it's not like a ran a ton of tutors to find the stuff. I relied on Gluntch to get me enough cards and mana, among other things.

My real heinous deck is a Grist build that revolves around finding and/or milling lands and permanents.

Shifting Woodlands is the main attraction. I get to play stupid but expensive permanents like Kuro Pitlord and Grave Betrayal.

[gritty nest]

single target land removal is fine, but MLD (especially if you make it one sided) is more annoying

[broken fjord]

Yeah. People should run some amount of land hate, tbh. So many strong lands now

[gritty nest]

interaction in general isnt a bad thing

Any of you have deck ideas in mind youre working on?

[broken fjord]

Well, I'm still refining Grist.

Ashamed to say that I have Glacial Chasmed to win. Kinda want something more fun, but a little stuck coming up with ideas. The heat isn't helping

[gritty nest]

is grist the group hug deck?

[broken fjord]

No, Glunch is.

Grist is shifting woodland mill, I guess.

Get powerful permanents in grave to copy with shifting woodlands. Find impactful lands to generate tons of mana.

It's even got Tron in it

[gritty nest]

ahh okay, sorry

[broken fjord]

Oh it's no problem.

It's a cool deck idea. I actually got to resolve Grave Betrayal's effect. Was very cool

I could run Phage the Untouchable too. No etb to worry about

[gritty nest]

yea, maybe. I'm not too sure the best cards for it myself

[broken fjord]

Tarrian's Journal and Journey to Eternity are crazy. Tarrian's land side means Grist is never gone for long

Since Grist exiles to transform, you don't worry about the finality counter

[gritty nest]

oh is it the new grist?

[broken fjord]

Yup

[gritty nest]

i was thinking OG

[broken fjord]

Old Grist sadly keeps the finality counter

So it gets exiled

[gritty nest]

oof

there's 2 decks im slowly working on, the second one im more stumped on than the first

Edward Kenway and Ravos, Soultender paired with Tana the Bloodsower

[trail anvil]

I'm ngl I actually didn't know these cards didn't say nonland lmao

[gritty nest]

yea they all hit anything lol

[trail anvil]

my brain just autofills that part and it hasn't come up for me yet or maybe it has with glacial chasm and I missed it

[gritty nest]

hey Komi, can I get your thoughts please? how do you think i should take the [[Ravos, Soultender]] [[Tana, the Bloodsower]] deck?

rip bot

[trail anvil]

uh I'll Google this

[broken fjord]

Kinda sad that I'm fairly adept at Magic, but I suck at Yugioh despite me growing up with it

[gritty nest]

its 4c blueless

[trail anvil]

I'm trying really hard to get back into yugioh but decks these days are so much less intuitive

[gritty nest]

same, but cant find any yugioh players irl

[trail anvil]

mostly cause so many cards are extenders and I struggle to figure out the optimal combo

[trail anvil]

yeah that also happens lol

[gritty nest]

do you want me to grab the cards btw for you to see? unsure if you googled them

[trail anvil]

I'm doing it rn

[gritty nest]

ah okay

[broken fjord]

Entomb and Lively Dirge seem good

For that deck

[trail anvil]

uh that's just go-wide + aristocrat yeah?

[gritty nest]

I think so

[trail anvil]

have you checked the edhrec page for ideas?

[gritty nest]

was trying to avoid it, but if it comes down to it i'll probably look into it

[trail anvil]

edhrec to me is the Wikipedia of deckbuilding sites

not the final resource but definitely a great start

[broken fjord]

Street Wraith is good

A draw every turn

[gritty nest]

i mean yea

[trail anvil]

oh hey that's fun

landcycling creatures are nice too huh

[gritty nest]

my main stump right now is what to do with Tana, because she's kinda there for colors, if that makes sense

4 mana 2/2 with trample, she would need to be bigger to be able to do her thing better

my first idea was cards like [[Warleader's Call]] and [[Cathar's Crusade]]

[broken fjord]

The two don't have much to do with each other sadly

[gritty nest]

i keep forgetting the bot isnt working

[trail anvil]

champion of lambholdt is a must

[broken fjord]

Check out Crescendo of War

[gritty nest]

looking on edhrec

shes most paired with Tymna, the Weaver

followed by Malcolm, Ardenn, then Ravos

[trail anvil]

ofc tymna lol

[broken fjord]

If you go super wide, Crescendo ends games fast

[gritty nest]

i get shes card draw but imo Ravos works better for an orzhov choice because hes at least an anthem and recursion

[trail anvil]

that said kutzil looks insane in here

[gritty nest]

yea was trying to find Crescendo

uh

[[Kutzil]]

fuck

[trail anvil]

tbh can't you just run cards that give deathtouch then trade in and plus off ravos?

[broken fjord]

4 strife counters per rotation.

[gritty nest]

yea i could

[gritty nest]

or make the tokens the ways to trade

OH

hold on

[trail anvil]

tbh this deck looks really fun

that enchantment that makes tokens tap for mana goes so hard

[gritty nest]

he would start getting out of hand instantly with Tana

[trail anvil]

okay so

I'd actually highly recommend against this card lol

[gritty nest]

whys that

[trail anvil]

speaking from experience this guy gets targeted really hard and the fact that he needs to attack makes him clunky

I tried running him as a commander and it was so hard to snowball with him

[gritty nest]

thats

fair

i'm still going to throw him in for now because the deck is basically

a cobbled mess, and I know I have one

[trail anvil]

I just think there are 99 better cards so I'd cut this first when you can

[gritty nest]

im going to add hoof and moonshaker when possible

[trail anvil]

that's fun

[gritty nest]

because obvious go wide strategy is obvious

[broken fjord]

War pride and life and limb are hilarious

In go wide

Yavimaya makes their lands 1/1 saprolings

[gritty nest]

im not doing that

[broken fjord]

Nacatl sees those and generates that many tapped and attacking cats

That can only be blocked by 1 creature. They either die or lose everything.

[gritty nest]

And they must be blocked

Meaning mass land wipe

[broken fjord]

Yeah. Garruk's Uprising is silly here. Elemental Bond moreso

Hello card draw

[gritty nest]

I’m not adding Yavimaya to MLD but the cat itself is funny

[broken fjord]

Well, it kills them if their lands are tapped out

Which usually most will be tapped

[gritty nest]

I’m not taking the chance for it tbh

I’m not dealing with the headache

[broken fjord]

I get you. It was just funny for me

Cat is still neat

I think

[gritty nest]

“Oh you run an MLD combo, we’re gonna hate you off the table from now on”

I feel like it would go hard in Rin and Seri

[rigid scarab]

I think most casual pods make the consensus of "MLD to win is fine, MLD to slow the game down isn't"

[broken fjord]

Yeah. This isn't armageddon

[gritty nest]

My local scene gets pissed with both

[broken fjord]

You're trying to kill them

[trail anvil]

I've not seen a distinction lol

[gritty nest]

But they also get pissed if you swords their toxrill

So

[trail anvil]

genuine skill issue

[rigid scarab]

Also keep in mind that

People will react differently to the tone you bring when you do it

[gritty nest]

“Gonna cast grapeshot copied three times then flash in world fire, any responses?”

“Man fuck you”

[rigid scarab]

If you Swords a Toxrill but follow it with "Sorry, but I think Toxrill surviving makes me lose the game"

Most people would be perfectly fine

[broken fjord]

I've made a table a bit upset when I let a guy borrow my rukamarel combo deck.

[rigid scarab]

If you get met with confrontation

[gritty nest]

At my LGS I’ve rarely seen people be reasonable with proper threat assessment

[rigid scarab]

The worst thing you can do is elevate the tension

[broken fjord]

Good old vomiting your entire deck out with World Tree

[gritty nest]

And most people have bad threat assessment

[trail anvil]

I let a dude who had a way more expensive deck than mine borrow my deck so he could hang in a low power pod, but I can think of many people at my locals I wouldn't even let touch my binder

I can't imagine being mad about not being able to borrow a deck

[broken fjord]

It was a Preston, The Myriad Master from Doctor Who, white Ojer, and questing beast to teferi's pro wouldn't save a guy from commander damage

[gritty nest]

I have a story for you

[broken fjord]

Preston and Ojer flood the board with stupid amounts of creatures. Think there was a jodah in there

So Rukamerel was huge

The table was mad

[gritty nest]

Friend of mine let one of the people down there borrow the Mothman precon, this was the last game btw otherwise the friend would be running late on personal events. Game was close to over so friend tried to swing out on the Mothman dude and someone else to KO 2 people (and get the Mothman deck back in a timely manner.) one player fogged and another did something else. Friend said either way they have to leave, and he took the Mothman deck with him, for obvious reasons, which royally pissed off the dude playing the precon

[rigid scarab]

The actual game is one thing

How everyone was talking at the table is a whole different factor

[trail anvil]

I mean highkey you need to play around how much time you have left

[rigid scarab]

Did he just stand up and take the cards or

[trail anvil]

I've ignored optimal play many times because the store was closing

[gritty nest]

He said he was doing that to try to get the game over with so he can leave

He even said that in advance

[broken fjord]

Smacked a guy with an 11/11 Cactus Preserve on turn 3. Got targeted for that one

[trail anvil]

ojer taq is a ridiculous card lol

[trail anvil]

how did that one happen

[broken fjord]

Pride of the Hull Clade

Preserve checks commander cmc for stats

[trail anvil]

ah lmao

[gritty nest]

I get that, I get both ends of them in that situation, but either way the whole thing feels petty In the long run in random ways

[broken fjord]

Myriad Master made Taq and Preston crazy. Since the tokens stay since they don't have legend rule.

[trail anvil]

dude communicated that clearly and they still chose to extend the game

[gritty nest]

Also @rigid scarab

[trail anvil]

it's not a loss but if the game needs to end it needs to end

[broken fjord]

But are still legends, so 4 Jodahs are buffing everything.

[gritty nest]

Talking about the story?

[trail anvil]

oh jeez lol

[trail anvil]

yeah

[broken fjord]

It was a stupid fun idea, but I took apart the deck

[rigid scarab]

Yeah idk why the guy fogged when the other guy clearly needed to go

[broken fjord]

Too linear in the end.

It always did the same thing

Don't think it lost a game

So it was not balanced for the group

[gritty nest]

Because situational awareness is not in their catalogue (seriously, I’ve played a few games with them, they’re a bit self centered)

The only one who isn’t usually was the one that was borrowing the deck

[rigid scarab]

I could say a lot about how people can improve etiquette in casual tables

And a lot of it

Kinda also goes for board games

Which makes sense bc

[gritty nest]

I can agree, I’ll agree I have my moments I need to work on

[rigid scarab]

Most people who only play EDH see it as a board game/tabletop experience

[gritty nest]

I blew up on someone because they smacked me for 39 when I was a threat to them

[trail anvil]

yeah I needed to learn to stop trying to strike deals all the time lol

[broken fjord]

I get away with a lot

Politics wise

[trail anvil]

that's just what got me into commander cause I thought it sounded funny

[rigid scarab]

Most of it has to do with both

How to act when you're the threat of the table

[broken fjord]

I have convinced a guy to work with me, despite the entire table telling him to not take my deals. And they had personal experience with me.

[gritty nest]

Well here’s what happened at least

[broken fjord]

I have a way with words.

[rigid scarab]

And how to act when interacting with people who aren't obvious threats of the table

[broken fjord]

I never break my word, though. So people at least trust me in terms of what I offer

[trail anvil]

breaking your word on a deal is just scummy most of the time imo

[gritty nest]

Ulalek, cast echoes of eternity and copy it. Now that’s all I had left to do, there was a syr Konrad on board and a Dogmeat that was close to lethal

[broken fjord]

But I'm a letter of the law politics guy, not a spirit of the law one.

[trail anvil]

if they're withholding info I think that's valid grounds to break it tho

[rigid scarab]

Some people prioritise taking a win over the table having a fun time

[gritty nest]

They reflector mage Ulalek, swung for 34 then drained me for 5

That’s why I blew up, I felt hard targeted for an unjustified reason

[rigid scarab]

And parrot "Skill issue" to people who aren't comfortable with EDH being Mafia

[trail anvil]

yeah I get that much, I feel like it's just an unofficial rule 0. but then again everybody looks at the game different

all I care about honestly is that the table is having as much fun as possible, that's why I like group hug

although it's morphed more into "here I'll give you a comeback mechanic"

[gritty nest]

My friend is the opposite

[broken fjord]

Nothing quite like Ugin's Binding someone and them knowing exactly what's coming next in Ulalek.

[gritty nest]

“There’s only so much fun in a game of magic, and I want all of it”

[broken fjord]

Ah yes, I will have 7 mana next turn. Wonder what I'm casting next.

[gritty nest]

They built literal cEDH urza stax to play against not cEDH decks one time

[trail anvil]

ngl it's hard not to get mad when you're clearly targeted for no reason

[rigid scarab]

Ok that's just a dick move

[trail anvil]

thankfully usually my pod is also like "why" when that happens

[twilit canyon]

true they could have played a good deck

[gritty nest]

I called him out on it (by called him out I mean the literal blow up I did)

Gave me a “what do you want me to do about it” look

Not be shit at the game?

[broken fjord]

I never build more than one super high power deck.

[rigid scarab]

Pulling cEDH against casual is something you do one time as a joke against people you're already close with

[gritty nest]

Well we bitched at them to stop playing the urza deck

They used the staples to make koma

[trail anvil]

I remember one post where some dude brought a cedh deck to a casual table and the rest of the pod continued on after they won with an infinite

[gritty nest]

Turn 1 Koma was a thing

[broken fjord]

If I'm in the mood for something like CEDH, which is very rarely, I'll pull it out. And tell people what to expect, and ask if they're up for it.

[trail anvil]

so that player had to sit and watch

[broken fjord]

But pub stomping on purpose is stupid

[gritty nest]

Good

[trail anvil]

I wanted to build one because there is a cedh pod at my lgs, but I rarely play with them anyways

[gritty nest]

They wasted my time by just dunking on the table, least I can do is get an actual game in

[trail anvil]

and they have casual decks too

[trail anvil]

ye lol

[rigid scarab]

Still need to get around with proxying a cEDH deck

[gritty nest]

But yea, the blow up was actually this past Friday, it’s been on my mind since and just wondering how much in the wrong I am

[broken fjord]

Actually bullied a guy off of the table before game start. He tried to bring out Satoru, and we were in a low power mood. So I just say "if that has what I think it has, then we're not playing". He walked away.

[gritty nest]

Apparently when I walked away my friend commented to them that we literally powered down our decks to be more fair with the local scene

[rigid scarab]

Self-reflection is good

[gritty nest]

Sounds like it has what you thought it had

[broken fjord]

He didn't even ask.

Just knew

[trail anvil]

what's the thing for someone out of the loop

[broken fjord]

It was kamigawa release week. Everyone knew what Satoru was packing.

Blightsteel

[trail anvil]

ah lmao

[gritty nest]

It is but my friend tells me not to because I stew on it apparently lol

[broken fjord]

We were playing dogshit

Couldn't compete with that.

[gritty nest]

Blightsteel, or any other overpowered 6 mana + thing on turn 4

[broken fjord]

Because we felt like playing garbage.

[trail anvil]

I honestly don't get instant kill cards in casual decks, it's so unsatisfying to me

especially if it kills exactly one person so you're just turning someone into a spectator as you get focused down

[lusty trench]

Wow the level of detail on this

[hidden ermine]

Grief is amazing

Fury feels just a little less flavourful than Grief though

[lusty trench]

Idk the war going on in the background makes me think of overwhelming fury

[hidden ermine]

Yeah but it feels less like a representation of fury and more like

I guess a sweeper?

Its more directly war-themed

Which I guess just encompasses more emotions than just Fury

[lusty trench]

I feel like they could've done a better job representing fury here instead of just generic flame elemental

Like the grief one looks like it's opening a gateway to the afterlife with its hands in it's chest

[trail anvil]

well it's not just the war but the last standing soldier facing the mouth demon 👅 💦

the swords being shot out/falling is really cool

[hidden ermine]

Its good art

[trail anvil]

grief is just really damn cool though

[hidden ermine]

It just feels like less of a flavour slamdunk compared to Grief

[lusty trench]

I feel like furys elemental should be more explosive

Less put together

[trail anvil]

idk I feel like the fury you feel when all your comrades have died is represented pretty well in that art

[lusty trench]

I like the soldiers part of it

[trail anvil]

grief is just so incredibly obvious with a dude holding a corpse

[lusty trench]

But the elemental itself is lacking imo

[trail anvil]

you think so? I feel like the lava elements represent fury well

[golden plover]

Grief is a cool art. Unfortunately it's on one of the most busted cards lmao

Hey, at least that means the art sees play

[lusty trench]

I just don't think how solid and uniform it looks fits with an emotion that's all about uncontrollable anger

i was thinking about it but he has enough decent targets to bring back so i dont wanna rely on it being on the board plus i have to play protect the commander with this as is

[gritty nest]

True, but he could be a target because then people would realize “oh shit your copying dockside every turn”

Getting rid of the enabler would be better than getting rid of Altair

[stark skiff]

just depends on your opponent tbh cause getting rid of altair gets rid of the token coming back anwyays lol

How so?

Even if he dies you just

Re copy everything the next time he attacks

[stark skiff]

yeah you need to recast and potentially wait a turn assuming no haste

Legendary Artifact
At the beginning of your end step, exile up to one target legendary creature card from a graveyard with a memory counter on it.
: Until your next turn, target legendary creature you control becomes a copy of target creature card in exile with a memory counter on it. Activate only as a sorcery.

Legendary Creature — Human Samurai
If a creature attacking causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time.
Trained by the Imperials but disillusioned by their rigidity, he gave his heart—and his swords—to the Asari Uprising.
3/4

[stark skiff]

yeah hes in the list

[gritty nest]

Ah I didn’t see him, sorry

[stark skiff]

he would allow me to banish two assassins and make double the tokens right?

[gritty nest]

I believe so, all that seems to be one effect

Yes

You’d get two exiles then two instances of making tokens

[stark skiff]

oh nice thanks

[trail anvil]

[stark skiff]
