Alright let’s see it

Any combos I should know about?

[gritty nest]

theres only 4 legal sagas in the entire game lol, and im running all 4

[gritty nest]

not that im aware of, its just gruul landfall

https://archidekt.com/decks/15321709/rydia_pdh

i dont play Pauper EDH enough to know common only strats

[glad peak]

Aggro is a lot better there

I can’t remember if keen sense was a common

[gritty nest]

it is not

[glad peak]

May want to remove some of the protection or pump

[gritty nest]

debating between chocobo and the wolf to keep

the trample enabling will be helpful

[glad peak]

I don’t really like this game plan tbh

[gritty nest]

too inconsistent you think?

[glad peak]

Very

I play kediss Malcolm for context

[gritty nest]

iirc kediss burns everyone when a commander smacks and the og malcolm that draws?

[glad peak]

Treasures

So with Malcolm I make 3 treasures per hit

[gritty nest]

thats nice

[glad peak]

And then I turn a pinger into a pirate, slap a curiousity effect on it, then draw a bunch

But the reason why I don’t like landfall is because too few effects and way too fast of a format

[gritty nest]

im not trying to play at peak performance, at least to my knowledge

[glad peak]

True but you start at 30

Lot less time to set up and lower density

[gritty nest]

that i didnt know

is commander damage lower too?

also i figure this deck will do a lot better if i swapped rydia out for tannuk, cut all the sagas and just load up on gruul midrange shenanigans

[glad peak]

Commander damage I think is the same?

[gritty nest]

i see, alright

[glad peak]

Tannuk would likely do better but same problems

Mainly because drawing cards is so good

[gritty nest]

thats fair

snake umbra on him would put in more work than snake umbra on something in the 99

[glad peak]

Yep by a lot

But also self triggering draw is good

[gritty nest]

yeah

rydia is technically looting effect but yeah

this guy is kinda a mood tbh

definitely a scrunkly oomfie

[glad peak]

True but it’s also discard then draw which is a lot worse than the other way around

[gritty nest]

yeah 100%

[sleek ferry]

Lost g1, won g2 and g3. I feel like Kona builds are just frankly too greedy

Bats and intimidation tactics have the deck just top decking

Playing vs better players has made one thing abundantly clear, outside of vs mono red, I should never be shotgunning far fortune

[glad peak]

for people who've cubed, what are your favorite sets to cube?

[copper pecan]

neo and dominaria are both pretty good

[glad peak]

the remastered cubes? haven't really looked into remastered retail sets

[copper pecan]

no the set that is just titled "dominaria"

[glad peak]

oh nah i was talking about cubes, not retail

[rigid scarab]

Good god

Trying to argue with someone rn who’s saying that

Competitive MTG was never a real thing

And no one actually cared about it

[glad peak]

lmao wut

true it stopped being a big priority but that's because they're still working super slowly after covid

but also commander

[rigid scarab]

The argument is

Commander was naturally going to take over competitive

Because competitive was fundamentally flawed

[glad peak]

Commander may have naturally taken over, true, but that’s just because the vast majority of players are casual in any game

Especially as a game is growing

The main issue I have with commander though is that people tend to stick there and never leave their hole to try anything else and there really isn’t anything in between commander and competitive at the moment

[broken fjord]

I have tried other formats, funny enough. Not my cup of tea. In fact, I started by playing standard structure decks with my brother. 1v1 just kinda sucks, IMO.

[glad peak]

The intro and event deck lines were pretty shit gameplay wise ngl

[atomic harness]

I like constructed more

Born to play modern, forced to play commander

[glad peak]

You should play cube, very fun social format

More people = more fun and there’s less salt

[atomic harness]

I might

[glad peak]

What do you play in modern?

But also no long talks about power level which the community is infamously bad with even with a good group

[broken fjord]

Despite my dislike of 1v1, I do think the shift towards commander being a big focus has been a negative.

Not a fan of the constant introduction of powerful cards

[glad peak]

I’m fine with commander mostly but hate how design shifted to cater specifically to commander

Especially since now it feels like every set is split in half with standard cards and commander cards

[sleek ferry]

I mean I don’t mind this at all

It used to be 90% unusable garbage vs 10% actual usable cards

Now it’s probably closer to 75% unusable garbage vs 25% usable cards

[glad peak]

Where it gets bad is when you’re drafting and the rare you get is a commander card that has nothing to do with any draft archetype

But trash mythics have been a thing since forever

[sleek ferry]

Yeah that’s nothing new, they just replaced those trash mythics with commander mythics

Which again, you rather have that if opening sealed. I do think play boosters are ass though, and I miss the draft/set split

[glad peak]

I just realized we’re going to have a generation of drafters who’ve never played with 15 card boosters

[sleek ferry]

I feel like the solution might have honestly been to make set boosters the standard, instead of combining the two, also the special guest list is just a broken thing

The list was at least 95% garbage

[atomic harness]

I like Dimir frogtide

The kaito obm one w/o oculus

I also think the mocs winning grixis reanimator list is p cool. But that's bc I love [[archon of cruelty]]

[sleek ferry]

I think modern’s issue moving forward

Is if we don’t have any straight to modern sets

Standard will always be exciting and new, and modern will go through big lulls

[atomic harness]

Sigh, mh4 it is

[glad peak]

Tbh I’m fine with that

Format’s been moving way too fast as is but also not fast enough

Changes to bans rarely happens but whenever a straight to modern set comes the power level spikes which sucks for the rest of the format

Would much prefer the old days of maybe 1-5 cards in any standard set is modern playable

The MH sets did increase interactivity though so that’s a good shift

any fun non vivi cauldron decks? i made 3 a while ago for a deck thats rotated out and kinda wanna use them in smt

I've seen it used with roots given how much milling you're doing. probably not the optimal build but it synergizes pretty well

[golden plover]

True, it's brawl anthology and other cards Anthology

But like, they really could've just been one

[twilit canyon]

the other anthology is goated though

[golden plover]

Also... Strip mine gonna be the first timeless ban?

[twilit canyon]

nah

timeless is fun

[golden plover]

It's restricted in legacy because of W6

[tardy echo]

Part of the fun in timeless is that everything is broken

[twilit canyon]

i watched someone's life drain from their eyes real time after i strip mine looped them for 20 turns in a row

[golden plover]

Would be weird if it gets to live lol

[twilit canyon]

i didnt win the game

i intentionally didnt attack

i just locked them out and kept them captive until they conceded

[golden plover]

Might get restricted in timeless then

[twilit canyon]

this is peak magic

[tardy echo]

They could restrict it in timeless

[golden plover]

They do that there, right?

[twilit canyon]

yeah they restrict

and they can

Just realised they got shadows quote wrong on the airshoes

They mightve used a more direct translation of the Japanese original

"Chooses to become my enemy" - foolish mistake, not expected but futile.

@atomic harness funny frog gaming

im glad to see that even in historic, you can ruin someone's day with the frog

I feel sorry for anyone who buys aa1 in the store

[twilit canyon]

why? if you have the spare gems, its not the worst

you'd probably be better off buying 4 mythic wildcards with money

if you have gems for days then power to you ig

[twilit canyon]

and swords are good to have for sfm/cloud

[trail anvil]

uncommon wildcards are still abundant as hell tho

[twilit canyon]

it isnt the best overall value but

if u can spare them, sure

yeah lol but again, if u can spare the gems

bought it to prove a point just now smh

[trail anvil]

I'm surprised you can spare the gems more than the wildcards lol

[twilit canyon]

draftinggggg

i actually spend more time drafting than constructed on arena

i've spent down on cosmetics + the anthologies + the 20 pack alchemy set and im still at 9k gems

[trail anvil]

I wish I was into drafting, cause arena was built for drafters

[twilit canyon]

arena heavily fucks with drafters yea

its actually free

[trail anvil]

how feasible is going infinite in standard events or something

[twilit canyon]

mmm i'd say its a decent ev

but

the issue is that constructed events can vary in quality a lot in terms of gameplay

especially with this current format in standard

i think its just not worth

it wouldnt be outright bad but it would also wouldnt be great

and imo, fun > infinite or rewards and whatnot

are there any mtga braawl decks build arouind this

this card looks super suepr fun

and i wanna use it

i have like no wildcards but idk kinda wanna try to make A brawl deck

its either this or simic landfall methinks

[trail anvil]

idk about build-around but it's a decent reanimator target for reanimator decks

simic landfall is pretty cheap to build too, tatyova is an uncommon wildcard and there are a ton of land ramping cards that you can just use for whatever big simic payoff

[steady onyx]

hmmmmm ok

ill look into that

[steady onyx]

if i could craft 1 mythic for simic landfall

for bral

wl

which would be best?

[trail anvil]

what are your current simic mythics

[steady onyx]

waiting for mtga to up

update

but ill pull up once it updates

[trail anvil]

mana drain is the boring answer because it literally causes auto-scoops, or time warp/temporal manipulation

which brawl format is more popular

standard or brawl

[trail anvil]

brawl

[steady onyx]

ok

[trail anvil]

standard brawl is easiest to craft for if you wanna start on that though

this was filtering by blue and green?

i dont have many

oh wait im only filtered to commander rn

sec

sry for image spam but this is all of them

my old old old first ever mtga deck was like a standard koma landfall deck so I have a couple methinks...

[trail anvil]

yeah you have some decent payoffs

you could probably find more in rare and uncommon too

tireless provisioner is an uncommon for example

[steady onyx]

ok so then mana drain?

[trail anvil]

sure that's fine

[steady onyx]

now we try to put smt together

;-;

taty is best commander?

she's easiest to build around. there are other commanders but she just synergizes with anything land related

[steady onyx]

ill start wiht her

there are like 2 billlion cards lmao

I’m selling this for $400 tracked US if anyone is interested! Have tons of refs can send them to you in DMs!

Also have some more foil foreign high end some CEDH cards included

And some graded stuff too

Oh I don’t mean like that I mean it’s like really hard to start in brawl

I think as an actual format it’s like. Fine

It’s a weird intermediary of like broken stuff but not actual fun stuff

I thought of all the nadu formats the brawl version was the most enjoyable

And the like 2 days lutri existed in that format was kinda cool

[gritty nest]

I’ll buy the slabbed cards for $2 each

Slabbed is actually a fucking waste

The wanderer I’ll do 50 cents because it looks faker than a kardashian

the issue isnt reliability

i was just asking if u had asked another mod and had gotten the ok

i have a question tho

what is worth to craft with mythics

like i wanna put this dimir midrange deck together

and i know like I am missing a lot of rares and stuff

but would crafting like 2 kaito and i have 2 curisity crafting the 1 cecil and the siren and the 4 drowner then replacing the rest be worth it?

and then like what could I replace the 1 curiosity the 3 saboteur the 2 tidebender and the other 2 kaito with?

or is 1 tidebender more important then 1 dark knigh

probably cause it's Breya would be my guess

I just don't really like many of the artifact commanders

and playing noctis without being able to do like the mox diamond loops feels a bit shit

Unofficial format made by the guys at loading ready run which is 100 card (I think) singleton made of any cards on arena, basically a format they made which is canlander but for arena

[fallow citrus]

okay after looking into sami more

the idea of just being able to drop some glup shitto eldrazi for like 2 mana is funny to me

also giving everything affinity makes some other funny loops

[sleek ferry]

I would probably like Sami more if he wasn’t 6 mana

[trail anvil]

that's why you run them with a metric fuckton of mana rocks

[fallow citrus]

that effect would be insane if it wasnt 6 mana lmao

[trail anvil]

you probably don't play them in 60 card formats though lol

[sleek ferry]

I mean, for 1 mana more I can Etali tbf

And that’s usually a game winning play

[fallow citrus]

yeah but I'm not intending to play like suuper high power mtg

I say with 2 easy infinites in my deck

[sleek ferry]

Infinites are just a thing that happens naturally, especially in a deck like Sami

But, the table is kinda encourage to remove him before you get a turn back tbf

So that’s the main issue I’m looking at fun wise

[fallow citrus]

this is true

depends how many artifacts you have when you do play sami though

because if you have more than 6 from stuff like treasures etc

you might be able to just drop a glup shitto down

but yeah I like the idea, may not be great in execution

ofc you can play the medallions to make sami 4 cost but then you're having to draw specific hands to make the card better

[fast tide]

Which of the edge of eternities precons is better?

[glad peak]

what're you trying to do with them?

[past socket]

Because yeah both are really nice

[glad peak]

keep them as is, or strip them for parts, or upgrade?

[fast tide]

Probably upgrade

How does each one play?

[glad peak]

how high are you looking to upgrade

[fast tide]

Probably not that high and I play pretty casual

[glad peak]

the lands one is just generic land sac and extra lands

and bringing back as many lands as you can

[sleek ferry]

I think both are solid, I prefer the land ones though

[glad peak]

the other one is combo heavy once you upgrade it

kilo does so much for combo

[sleek ferry]

Seed broodship or whatever is called is just a better version of most green cards at its cost

[fast tide]

Can I feasibly make a.. kind of spaceship ass deck with counter intelligence because inspirit looks really fucking cool

[glad peak]

i mean i don't see why not

charge counters are pretty fun

[fast tide]

[glad peak]

but inspirit is pretty slow

[sleek ferry]

If you wanted to make a spaceship deck you probably have to grab the 5 color spaceship from the main set no?

[glad peak]

especially for a combo heavy mechanic like charge counters

[fast tide]

Ahhh okay

Tbh I never liked wizard’s whole thing about “this product is not for you” and then deciding to push those “not for you” products into more areas people play in

our holy format will not be defiled by proxies...

[sleek ferry]

Idt this is true, most people are fine proxies. You do get players such as myself though that doesn’t really like proxying and prefers owning the cards

sure most people are fine with proxies but the most pushback i've gotten regarding proxies has to be commander players compared to literally anyone else

Is the wotc thing on the right something they actually said?

[glad peak]

Yep

They said they were only going to do emergency bans on “what deserves it” and quoted the felidar ban iirc

Otherwise bans will follow the RC timeline

[sleek ferry]

Also, the Emergency Ban also has a schedule I saw somebody say

iirc, earliest they could e ban was like october

[broken fjord]

It's very strange to see such a conservative ban philosophy. It looks like it only creates negative sentiment. I'd get it if MTG's card pool was smaller and it was a younger game. But design has changed so much over the years and cards do keep getting stronger. I'm not sure of the benefits of sticking to their guns at this point, especially since they have made multiple goofs over the past couple years.

[last glen]

I imagine part of it is related to collector confidence in prices. The more likely a card is to be banned in its relevant formats, the more likely your cards can lose value suddenly and with little warning (be it when a surprise ban happens, or when Wizards announces they're considering banning a card).

[glad peak]

yep a lot of it will have to do with market confidence as well as RC season competitive benefit

yes, the meta is not healthy right now and they may acknowledge that, but the point is that people usually expect one season to have 1 banlist at the end of the season and practice accordingly, it's a feelsbad when competitive players spent tons of hours practicing a deck/matchup and suddenly it's gone

[fallow citrus]

crazy that GW actually did an "emergency" points change in 40k but wotc still just don't care

[fallow citrus]

looking at my old decks in moxfield

and now I have the landfall brainworm in my head from when I played tatyova turns

[broken fjord]

Thinking if I should add a professor onyx + fury storm combo for my Shadow deck. It's expensive, but also completely uninteractable. Might make my playgroup miffed.

[glad peak]

who's the commander?

[broken fjord]

Shadow. So it's going to have split second.

Fury Storm's interaction with that is so funny.

[glad peak]

oh you mean literally shadow

[broken fjord]

Yup.

Split second onyx. I retain priority once she resolves.

[glad peak]

i mean, you just do a couple damage, maybe a decent chunk

[broken fjord]

Cast anything, hold priority, cast Fury Storm with split second.

Target Fury Storm with the copy.

Fury Storm copies itself endlessly

[glad peak]

oh right that combo

that's way too expensive

[broken fjord]

Oh yeah.

It is.

This is not a high power deck

[twilit canyon]

cus the meta is honestly p diverse in standard outside of vivi

[broken fjord]

I'm intentionally making it like that

[glad peak]

yeah, that shouldn't make anyone angry

[twilit canyon]

idt they wanna take too much action for tournament standard atm

[broken fjord]

The other combo is Manifold Key and Cursed Recording plus Worst Fears.

This shit is jank

[glad peak]

this onyx combo requires way WAAAAY too much setup and tons of mana on the combo turn

[broken fjord]

It's still a game ending combo with only 2 cards plus my commander needed. I've been chewed out for worse.

[glad peak]

if you have minimum 10 mana while having to have had cast shadow earlier and made a treasure and another card (or i guess technically you can do it on opponent's instants) on top of that, you deserve to win

[broken fjord]

I agree

[glad peak]

at least it isn't the chain of smog combo

[broken fjord]

That one can be stopped, though. New copy doesn't have protection. I do have CoS. Just trying to theme my combos.

[golden plover]

The meta being diverse outside of a deck taking up 55% of the meta is the perfect reason to do an e-ban lol

If the rest of the format is good and there's one problem deck then hit the problem deck

But for some reason we don't have a window until end of November and even then they'll just hit cauldron and call it a day

[glad peak]

sure but in terms of raw power it's just much much better than what was suggested and if they're ok with CoS then they should most definitely be fine with the one you proposed

[broken fjord]

Oh, for sure.

[glad peak]

especially since if you also have to play shadow on the same turn to make sure he doesn't just die on the turn rotation

[broken fjord]

I know this combo is bad, but it having split second might make people upset.

They got mad when I made my Blightsteel play.

Which was Scroll of Fate manifesting a face down blightsteel. Cast my commander, The Master Formed Anew, which now IS Blightsteel. And waiting a turn to attack to kill one person.

A real rube goldberg machine to threaten one person at a time.

The Master Formed Anew is a sick commander. It's just Dimir Secret Commander.

If you ever wanted any nonlegendary creature in dimir to be your commander, then this is the guy.

Yeah, Hashaton can win at split second

Oh yeah he said to use angel's grace first then do your stuff (and pray theres no stifle/trickbind but those are pretty rare either way no)

even if they activate mana abilities, there's normally nothing to do with that mana right?

God I fucking hate playing against the landfall deck. It's so braindead and doesn't really feel like it matters what I do against it.

I feel like WoTC intentionally pushed landfall because it just lets you benefit from having the ability to play the game and it's easy for new players, but it really just feels like a coin toss every match

Triggered abilities, mana abilities, and special actions are the only thing that can happen with split second on the stack I think

Yeah, I’m saying the Sonic version isn’t brain dead, there’s actual outplay potential in it and not just “I drew 2 snakeskin veils gg”

if you only need to check if you like the playstyle it's enough i think

like you can drop the consults and play stock up, i just specifically wanted to test consult

[fallow citrus]

actually?

did not know

do you just get enough gems or wildcards immediately?

[subtle sierra]

new accounts get a lot of packs which results in around 10-12 rare wildcards and 3-5 mythic wildcards

plus whatever you pull

in that screenshot i pulled anchorage and fumigate

the first few wins will give you like 1-2 more packs off mastery, and then you get 1000 gold for another, which iirc rn results in another rare wildcard

[fallow citrus]

oh shit nice

[subtle sierra]

if you also don't wanna make another email for this, you can just make an acc with [email protected] or smth

mine is [email protected]

[fallow citrus]

oh sick I'll do that then

tyty

[subtle sierra]

np

oh sometimes (idk what triggers it) you get 5 jumpstart tokens

google mtga jumpstart packets

they have a list of what they contain and what % you have to pull stuff

i got adagia off those

it's rng but there's stuff like elspeth or adagia or i think even mistmoors there

it's a low chance to pull but it's free if you luck out

god i have this put down to a science

[lusty trench]

This is cute

[gritty nest]

Low key pissed about this LGS I went to tonight

I was offered essentially 50% on an 80 card

Store credit, not cash

[glad peak]

Eh 50-75% is pretty normal

One shop I went to even went down to 45

[gritty nest]

Here’s the thing

They had 80% trade in since it opened as a new location, opening special

That’s why I went to trade in the card. It was an Ancient Tomb

[glad peak]

When did they change it?

[gritty nest]

Not tonight, was talking to them earlier about it and I was told it was still 80% credit

[glad peak]

Huh weird, maybe different printing or they went off a lowball online offer

[gritty nest]

Stellar sights one, one of the cheapest printings of it to begin with iirc

[tardy echo]

That’s a webp

If it embeds it’ll autodelete

Also already posted sigh

[stark skiff]

Hey weirdo stop talking to yourself

[tardy echo]

[subtle sierra]

[atomic harness]

[gritty nest]

the LGS sent me an email about the ancient tomb

"sorry about the mixup, we can offer 65% for it" basically

[lusty trench]

Don't trade in singles you can easily sell yourself for like 5% below lowest on market

People are always gonna want tombs

4/4

[atomic harness]

Oh is it infinite soldiers with abdel + animate dead/necro?

[glad peak]

Tbju enables 1 tick of hashaton which isn’t nothing

[atomic harness]

Also yeah it does

[glad peak]

Yep, infinite soldiers on an end step

For 1 mana I’d say wanting a repeatable source of discard isn’t far off (at least once per turn) but I guess it’s build dependent

[atomic harness]

Is there a way to loop tiny to leave opponent's handless?

"this is my handless combo" - mr infernity man

[glad peak]

Not really in hashaton unless you want to do some weird extra combo

Leonin + necro + tiny doesn’t work, has to be abdel

And at that point you win regardless

[atomic harness]

I guess if you wanted to be mean right

inf soldiers + handless

[glad peak]

Sometimes just turn 1 abdel loop is just good enough lmao

[atomic harness]

Just in case some kids are on wipes or whatever

because im not actually playing in c

You may cast this spell as though it had flash. If you cast it any time a sorcery couldn't have been cast, the controller of the permanent it becomes sacrifices it at the beginning of the next cleanup step.
When this enchantment enters, if it's on the battlefield, it becomes an Aura with "enchant creature put onto the battlefield with Necromancy." Put target creature card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control and attach this enchantment to it. When this enchantment leaves the battlefield, that creature's controller sacrifices it.

I forgot this thing had flash spheed

I don’t think I run animate dead because necro has flash and I prefer just doing full value

Also maybe im a noob but it's hard to get the mana for hash sometimes

bc im not on stuff like LED

[glad peak]

Not a GREAT card but turns out drawing when your opponent plays their commander is pretty pretty good

[atomic harness]

I usually only go off a turn after (which is okay where I play because im not in b5)

[glad peak]

The mana aspect is why hashaton isn’t as great in cedh than expected

[atomic harness]

If only it was free, sigh

[glad peak]

He has a broken ability and fits very well in a control deck but 3 mana each time, even if it grants you tons of advantage, can be too much

Works wonders vs those midrange decks that just wants to stockpile interaction though

instead of a combo win

[glad peak]

Nah just slam down bomb after bomb, like valg in Jin gitaxias into cons sphinx

[atomic harness]

but I think I have to pivot to combo wins now

Or bigger bombs yeah

[glad peak]

Hashaton is very good at just chaining bombs

[atomic harness]

can I still play archon he's my favorite

ive been double archoning ppl

[glad peak]

Not good enough

[atomic harness]

You copy in a magister of worth and if Grace gets more votes then you reanimate the initial magister and try again

Reminds me of thinking about the Abdel loop for Master of Keys

I think ppl will just vote grace again

[twilit canyon]

vote deez-

[stark skiff]

Just had a fun commander duel using the World Shaper precon. Player to my left used Riverchurn Monument and it got bounced to his hand. Player in front of me was Krenko. So it was either kill the mill guy or kill the goblin guy and lose to mill. Didn’t notice that the Monument sent Moraug to my grave and I had an Exploration Broodship so was able to cast it with extra landfall triggers.

Got a foil promo Tezzeret from the pack reward for the trouble

[glad peak]

Depends on boardstate and other etbs

But it’s also much harder to get Grace going because all 3 of them have to choose it (assuming you always choose condemn)

[stark skiff]

Some new foil pickups along with the promo Tezz I got lucky in pulling

[glad peak]

Huh I didn’t know spirited companion had a cat version

Makes the etb module in my modular cube easier to work with

[stark skiff]

they were the bonus cards from the "X Better Than X" secret lairs

[glad peak]

I’m still theorycrafting Modular cube and it’s difficult, more than I thought lol

I know there are some workarounds like bigger modules or a decently large base module but I don’t want any of that, just pure 15 card modules

The more that I think about it, making each module 2 colors while being archetype and set locked with 1 gold card and 7/7 mono colors is probably the best way to go about it

And have a set rule for how many land modules I put in, leaning towards 1 land module per 2 players

[wary night]

Is this expensive to build atm?

Welp storm is pretty much impossible to add into this modular cube, 15 cards is way too low

Well it works under some permutations of the cube but it won’t be consistently showing up, at least not the cast 10ish spells then kill version

I feel like hell queue is more flexible than usual

also they don't preload commanders into hell queue

W6 should've been the exception lol

Time to strip lock with her until they send her to hell queue

Although strip mine shouldn't be legal in brawl at all

Strip Mine should never be legal in 1v1 formats lmao

Maro’s Spider-Man Teaser

Before previews for _Marvel’s Spider-Man_​ officially begin, I thought it would be fun to do another of my _Duelist_​-style teasers where I give tiny hints of things to come. Note that I’m only giving you partial information.

First up, here are some things you can expect:

• a new artifact Food

• “mind swap” as flavor words

• a new card with “Rocket-Powered” in its name

• some new counters – ingenuity and film

• a five-color Spider-Man

• a reanimation spell that can reanimate a number of creatures never used before

• a card that keeps the “legend rule” from applying to Spiders

• a card that lets you exchange life with another player

• a character, other than Miles, from the Ultimate universe

• a famous Spider-Man meme is made into a card

Next, here are some rules text that will be showing up on cards:

• “Exile those tokens when Mysterio leaves the battlefield.”

• “choose a card type other than creature.”

• “Look at the top nine...

Tomato tomato

[gritty nest]

They didn’t specify anything other than it being a famous meme?

[hidden ermine]

I think youre looking at the wrong line

Salt is referring to one creature having vampire scientist villain as their creature type

And yeah that has to be Morbius

Morlun is the only other spidey enemy who is a vampire but hes not really a scientist

[twilit canyon]

wonder if we can get another company to fall for the morbius hype

[gritty nest]

That would be peak

[sudden lava]

the famous meme is gonna be the spiderman point

[barren cairn]

Morbius

[fallow citrus]

just saw a post saying with the price of standard why is anyone playing it instead of modern

and my first thought is there are no locals nearby that do anything other than commander or standard, like do people not realise communities are different

[twilit canyon]

bope

*nope

[fallow citrus]

like yeah I'd be playing modern immediately if I could play it

[ornate cedar]

mind swap

Superior Spider Man confirmed

[trail anvil]

I feel like playing a format cause there's nothing else around is more of a sad reality than a motivation

[glad peak]

That’s how I feel about commander, good thing the best players in the area (survivors of the format purge) have cube and are open to trying everyone’s cube

There’s rumblings of a pauper event happening soon

Fast forwarding through the professor’s new video on discontinued products made me sad because I remember how excited I was to look through event decks and looking forward to playing them in standard fnm

Illusions my beloved (delver is my second)

[gritty nest]

Format purge?

[glad peak]

Every store swapping to commander in the area

Happened during covid when events were shut down but people were allowed to come in to play commander

[gritty nest]

Group Hug being a strategy that emphasizes political gameplay through handing out resources in return for your opponents beating your opponents up.
Some settle with going for 2nd place but the best aim for the girlboss win once the timing is right.

Bello is really strong @lavish temple

sorry wrong ping

@fast tide

[sudden lava]

to name a few "hugs" in my list (added in) we got gluntch for draw/counter/treasure, Oviya to emphasize aiming attacks elsewhere via mass trample, and Gor for handing out stabby salamanders

[fast tide]

Oooh bello is the raccoon

Yeah I was looking at group hug it looks hilarious

[trail anvil]

word of warning, group hug is kinda hard to play given you have to balance giving out resources with accruing your own

also you have to be careful not to kingmake

[sudden lava]

^ This

[trail anvil]

but yeah you can't really go wrong with any of the bloomburrow precons, they're all pretty potent and have their own theme

bello is strong but probably the most commander reliant of the 3

[fast tide]

[trail anvil]

oops 4* I forgot the bird one

[sudden lava]

Group hug is an acquired skill over time, can't just expect to play cards and win. The cards you're holding and how you speak with the table are equally important

[fast tide]

Ooooh right the politicking

So if I'm split between usually playing 1v1v1 or just 1v1

Is it better to just look at one of the others
