#Need help cutting card in my Evelyn the Covetous deck
1 messages · Page 5 of 1
so 8 should be reasonable
[[shivan reef]] is within the cheaper untapped cycle of lands too
i see you put [[return from extinction]] in the considering section recently i came across [[raise the drauger]] which is a strictly better return spell
and have to keep track of how many anthem effect in the final build, too many is too much redundancy
Really? I'm not a fan of Skyclave. Being indestructible vs just a [[Gilded Lotus]] isnt worth it, and can you afford 6-mana ramp as Slivers? Theres 3 opponents naturally plotting to kill you first.
Plus the copies comes tapped.
Tell me what you think. 38 Lands and 15 Ramps package
Basics can be rebalanced but I think its fine
Actually 16 ramp. Birds of Paradise is an easy in
Im looking through the draw package of most-liked sliver decks on Moxfield and... they barely play any?
I checked, the [[amoeboid changeling]] is to be cute with Slivers overlord 2nd effect and steal a creature
fair, i dont mind it because it is modal; can get out 5 drop UWBRG one turn earlier or just get over the commander tax on a later turn. and with all the low drop slivers, the one untapped mana makes it easy to play most of team regardless of colour (mostly green blue white)
BoP isnt budget so i wasnt really thinking about it
and the other thing would be, sliver's biggest weakest being creature wipe
having creature ramp just adds to the weakness
but early mana dork still helps make the deck run smoother
Yeah birds is fine
Also the biggest diff between gilded lotus is that it only add one colour, 3 skyrelic can add 3 instances of one colour
Its 6 mana
At this point you probably dont need mana fixing
in 5 colours, having the mana fixing with lowbudge land is nice to have
all the signet lands, filter lands
some are cheaper due to reprint
because with more basics in the deck
there is a chance where you end up playing two of the same basic within the first few turns of the game
colour source into any colour fixes that easily
Then another cheaper mana rock can do the work no?
and it was in the original 99 so it s a card your friend already own
technically yeah, but those cheaper rocks has no extra utility or option to play at 6 mana
i dont think it is necessary to change every card for your friend's deck as he can
adjust after he get the hang of it
Yeah but I still dont see me playing a 6 mana rock that pays for itself 2 turns after it came down
that s kinda why i would keep the playable stuff
like, every deck within the right colour identity can play a 0 cost removal
but thats just direct powercreep/pricey upgrade
if i own and can get around with a [[go for the throat]]
i would stick to the worse one until i think i need the swap
https://moxfield.com/decks/ycmP2-o46EKSTlXBURQLag Beside that, I started to put a couple draw cards in
But overall I think the ramp+lands is fine
indestructible will be relevant when that one game someone tries to wipe all rocks
maybe 1/5 or 1/6 times
same link right?
In the end he's gonna keep w/e he wants
i think it is uneccesary power for the price tag
I dont remember if he has it
on the fence about herald's horn
it s one that need a bit of math
more creatures in 99 = better rate of the draw, or always miss, if it is a scry then it is much better
colour reduction is just okay especially when
most slivers dont have 3+ generic cost
do you want to keep [[synapse sliver]] i dont really like that one
chromatic lantern is okay but not necessary, when colours in mana base is spread even enough, its more for lazy land tapping
but i am not against it or trying to defend it
Its better for him trust me
i would probably have it in the same tier as that skyrelic
back to back
i would put in beastwhisperer
heavy creature deck
pretty much guarantee draw
very minor how ziggurat can pay for it but not kindred discovery
may sound contradicting to the "extra weak to boardwipe like mana dork" but imo the draw is worth it
After Guardian project sure.
cryptolith rite i would cut
4 mana is a bit steep for a creature tho
Nah, He wants the Sliver Queen combos and this helps
well, i prefer either elven chorus OR rite
to not have that redundancy
and i just look at "cast creature top deck" and decide chorus is better here
Thats where we differ. I WANT to draw the effect, so having the same effect multiple times increase the consistency of having that effect on the field
so i ended wtih the double mana/gemhide sliver
And if it gets wiped then you just drop another one
- chorus, and then cut cryptolith
i want the creature cast/enter = draw
enchantment does none of that
but show your friend all of this, he can change it up
why not get him on this discussion
He's rarely online
I think the draw package will be short here. Overlord's effect can just tutor for w/e you need
Thats my forte lol, which is why I'm tinkering his deck
if i am you
i would give cards that are obviously not great and see if he actually checks the list
[[war room]] in 5colours
No he trusts me, he wouldnt understand
Also I would look like an idiot to the other guys he will show the list to
Also, forget about anything that spend life lol, he's scared shitless of them
doesnt wanna play Fetch or Shock lands
consider how in the casual social format
Yeah lets do a worldgorger dragon combo for infinite life
playing slower decks sometimes gets away with some attention and focus
i dont think it is the worst idea for your friend
also it adds to his play style, deck expression
if that changes some months down the line
and want the deck to be faster
then the dirt cheap land doesnt hurt the wallet
even at my penny budget, those are cards i can give away for free
you can straight up give him some of those lands to put into that 5 colour deck
Well, the good thing for him (Bless his heart), is that everyone knows he's not super good, so he usually slip under the radar until he becomes a genuine threat
after some games, he will learn why untapped lands matters
yeah, i can see him as a newbie
tutoring can be hard at times too
if someone knows you are going combo
Thats his choice. I told him to stick with The First Sliver
you kinda tells others to focus you and keep you dead before winning
if i know you win with 6-7 mana
then the moment you leave yourself open i am going alpha strike on you because i dont have counterspell for your combo win
i think thats not the nice thing both for me and the player who is not experienced at the game
i dont want to give a free win to them but i also dont want that player to take advantage of the table leaving them alone
Hey man, you gotta learn
thats why i start with some tapped duals instead of no taps at all
for slivers, i am a sucker for the first strike deathtouch
or deathtouch trample keywords ability
so personally i would play those regardless of what power level i am aimming for
for combat focus tho, vigiliance + envasion is probably much better 9/10 times
and for combo, none of that really matters
other than haste
well, only one sliver give both haste flying
As much as I like the FS+DT, Flying or unblockable achieve the same
the red one also has haste, and a blue one drop is flying
Yeah
is there unblockable sliver
https://moxfield.com/decks/G3Y8I5h86keUpXx9tjAAAg Here's the new revised list. I added everything in the land package we did, and the cards that I know he will put in without question
What I wanna do is build from the ground up, make sure all the sorceries/instants, etc are accounted for, before adding the Creatures
So whats missing, is a bit of protection, some board wipes
some interactions
Although most interactions can be found in Slivers themselves
Backup plan, like [[Patriach Bidding]]
No card found for “Patriach Bidding”
[[Patriach's bidding]]
Need some wincon card too. Something like Craterhoof without being Craterhoof
Well, Sliver Legion is one I guess
going to eat first
First draft done
I think there might not be enough creatures at first glance
Not sure boardwipes are really neccessary
Ugh, I wanna get rid of that Amoeboid Changeling lol
XD
the cute dude is what you hate the most?
but the fact you took out [[sliver gravemother]] proves that we cant be friends
Legendary Creature — Sliver
The "legend rule" doesn't apply to Slivers you control.
Each Sliver creature card in your graveyard has encore
, where X is its mana value.
Encore
(
, Exile this card from your graveyard: For each opponent, create a token copy that attacks that opponent this turn if able. They gain haste. Sacrifice them at the beginning of the next end step. Activate only as a sorcery.)
6/6
jk
Gotta make space for the MEN
the thing is, there are so many slivers and a lot of them arent synergistic together
some are more control focus
some are full on combat
Granny can go take a hike in her next home (The graveyard)
like from +1+1/+2+0/ to the +0+1 s
I went with what he likes, and then I went for his combo pieces
I know he will fumble the combos so yeah
https://moxfield.com/decks/makDFmTg4U-SIiqRl_inlw Thats the original
Oh yeah
I did
is the sac sliver for 2 mana necessary
it lowkey hate that one in the build because
its so conditional
Combo with Sliver queen
Searcheable
Overlord makes everything easier to get
Queen as commander require tutors in the 99
[[faces the past]] [[$faces the past]]
$1.61 • €0.48 • 0.02 TIX
Nonono dont start showing me cards lol
Go make a Dimir deck with it sure
Well it has Dimir in it so sure
i will do it 4 colours no black 😈
thats racist
its not racist if black doesnt exist in its colour
only if i build 5 colour but the mana base Exclude black entirely
i am equally racist against black and white, those arent colours, they are shades
Im only racist against orange people
Look at animar
just because you dont live in US they may still raid your house for talking shit about the president
should i buy that card its like $2
Dont break the bank
<.< yourself be like spending $500 a day
Never look into your neighbor's window
Theres this creature
that does the same thing as Training Grounds
I forgot the name
when you glaze into the abyss...
He might be glazing yes
oh the simir thingy
you can do scryfall tag
[[Biomancer's familiar]]
So clunky
Well with Overlord on board its technically free to cast
(If you were to use its ability]
But not using Ovi's ability on your turn is questionable
there are changelings that are 1 drop with decent ability from MH sets
main slivers you missed are
[[homing sliver]]
Oh yeah
theres the shadow one because oyu like envasion
the one i mentioned with replicate is called [[hatchery sliver]]
Creature — Sliver
Replicate 
(When you cast this spell, copy it for each time you paid its replicate cost.)
Each Sliver spell you cast has replicate. The replicate cost is equal to its mana cost. (A copy of a permanent spell becomes a token.)
A single survivor can repopulate a devastated hive within a week.
2/2
which is very much my style and a way to spend extra mana
works nicely with all the +1 anthems slivers
[[Firewake Sliver]]
Creature — Sliver
All Sliver creatures have haste.
All Slivers have "
, Sacrifice this permanent: Target Sliver creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn."
"When establishing a new hive in hostile territory, slivers abandon all sense of individual self-preservation to ensure the queen's survival." —Rukarumel, field journal
1/1
for keywords, i would prefer [[horned sliver]] and double down on
https://moxfield.com/decks/48bFLSkgY0-DeQzBX06dMQ may as well show
Why trample when you can just hit face tho
in consider
[[hunter sliver]] works nicely with deathtouch/first strike or just big slivers
combat [[two headed sliver]]
training groud stuff [[scuttling sliver]]
i am lazy and play mindlessly so i prefer combat win with swing out [[bonesplitter sliver]] closer to my style
[[leeching sliver]]
Wheres shadowdude
we will get there you get to hear my rant about not playing combat slivers, like [[cleaving sliver]]
control [[telekinetic sliver]] [[taunting sliver]]
Creature — Sliver
All Slivers have "
: Tap target permanent."
"Slivers are guided only by simple instinct. Advance the hive, and you will be welcomed. Impede the hive, and you will face unrelenting opposition." —Freyalise
2/2
Creature — Sliver
Sliver creatures you control have "When this creature enters, goad target creature an opponent controls." (Until your next turn, that creature attacks each combat if able and attacks a player other than you if able.)
"The way it shakes its hood is astonishingly irritating." —Neena, outland scout
3/3
card draw you lack [[dormant sliver]] i really like this one btw
Yeah, except you now have a defender army lol
Like playing Zergs on defence
doesnt work
and i am willing to pay 4 mana for effects like [[mesmeric sliver]] [[reflex sliver]]
"defender" is irrelvant when you can sac them
Why tho
this is the problem with so many slivers, some works so well together and some are basically nonbo
if the deck focus hard on combat, even [[synchronous silver]] could be worth it
as bad of a body it is
Friend needs to win too
i dont really like the high cost of [[thorncaster sliver]] but the deathtouch synergy is really fun for me
poor guy is at least 90% loss
i can raise that to 50% loss
0.9 x 0.5 = 45%
i can make it combat and win mindlessly 45% of the time
just ramp, big dummies, attack with damage
maybe combo will go higher WR
but also bigger threat
and easier to fail
no one is going to counter your [[megantic sliver]] because they think it is so dumb
or they are holding a [[negate]]
even [[constricting sliver]] may have a chance dispite its awful mana cost
[[brood sliver]] is okay imo
the control one is so dumb but has potential [[psionic sliver]] this one is too far from the current build so i wouldnt go there
my favourite dumb eff sliver [[pulmonic sliver]] so unique XD
[[capricious sliver]] the card draw?
training groud again [[spectral sliver]]
and last of all [[shadow sliver]] unexpected name right @novel bramble
WHO WOULDVE THOUGHT
[[tempered sliver]] is nice buff
i like [[poultice sliver]] but it will require sac ing the shroud sliver
Creature — Sliver
All Slivers have "
,
: Regenerate target Sliver." (The next time that Sliver would be destroyed this turn, instead tap it, remove it from combat, and heal all damage on it.)
"Its broad claw suggests a chitinous shield, but in fact it conceals glands that secrete a remarkably swift healing agent." —Rukarumel, field journal
2/2
deathtouch always my favourite [[quilled sliver]][[lancer sliver]]
[[Crypt Sliver]]
yeah same thing
need to sac
the shroud sliver first
thats why i think defender sliver is worth the draw
Yeah which is why I havent included it
Thats too much thinking for my good old pal
nah you give him [[frenetic sliver]]
more draw? or loss it all?
What a cruel man you are
we will know after this commercial break
there's only 2 men I know with luck worse than mine and he's one of them
theres no luck if you can search any cards
your sliver lord commander means with training ground out
Did you know that I've begun more game as the last player than any other position?
you are playing Ygo
even if you need to get a [[vectual sliver]] and start the combo
otherwise, i would just use it as a 2 mana 2/2
to take the anthem buff from other slivers
its a bad effect i dont plan on using until i am 10 life
Again, there's the free one
Slivers have powercrept themselves. Call it evolution
i think the hard ones to play are the one that control the opponent
[[mindlash sliver]]
even if you go hellbent
there is a social stigma you need to face
when messing with other peoples resources
You already play slivers, you don't need the group to wait for you at the bicycle rack
especially after people not attack you early
yeah fair, i would play that one personally
but knowing how you describe the friend
i wouldnt want someone new to make those tough decisions
so i would leave that one out
I either picture you as a 6'5 dude 290 pounds of muscle, or a tiny Goblin that sow chaos giggling
Yeah right now he needs to play solitaire and learn his cards. I'm not super fond of him playing counterspells either because he might just never use them waiting for the "Perfect timing"
i am just a harmless friendly neighbour with a slightly bigger frame than an avg Asian who is openly a terrorist
i would be playing [[[[psionic sliver]] + untaps + either self sac or regenerate
"mono blue burn! take that!"
Sliver Hivelord going ham
[[tempered silver]] + vigilance too
Combat damage tho
oh just realiized [[fungus sliver]] is also a fungus. who would have know
Creature — Fungus Sliver
All Sliver creatures have "Whenever this creature is dealt damage, put a +1/+1 counter on it." (It must survive the damage to get the counter.)
"When a sliver of this breed enters the hive, the others claw each other in frenzied fits, thereby ensuring their rapid growth." —Rukarumel, field journal
2/2
thats why + vigilance so it can attack and then tap
after getting big
the thing about flying / unblockable is that even tho you get the damage through, it looks much scarier than deathtouch trample
the false sense of security of "giving your opponent a choice" on their block
make your board slightly less threatening
also [[spiteful sliver]]
taking damage is a good thing
We've gone full off road now
if my opponents attacks each other because i am seen less of a threat
i got "free damage" on my opponent
i dont need to rely only on my board to lower life totals
Never gonna happen with Slivers
thats only if you know you can knock out all opponents by yourself
always trying to aim for archenemy status
makes you lose faster than aimming for 2nd
Overlord kinda is made to just win
but who pilots it matters
is this friend going to knock out the most threatening player one by one
or spread the damage
giving strategic pokes until their life total is within lethal range for the final one-shot
or just tapping out without a second thought
as a rakdos player, my favourite sliver maybe... [[magma sliver]]
I thought about it but when comboing off you're already hitting everyone with infinite slivers
oof
well i like backups plans or expects combos to fail somehow
i think if my commander isnt Hivelord
i would put that in the 99 😅 9/10 times
if the mana base can afford a 6 drop
too bad i dont even own the card
😢
but overall, my mindset is: All to set up for combo win; all combat focus power toughness matters + combat keywords; all evasion for hard to react big damage; gimmick and tricks to do weird stuff; control heavy for the midrange win
each has somewhat different focus
only a few fits in ALL of those category
[[clot sliver]] no targetting need and works with training ground
[[angel's trumpet]] can make sure everyone attacks
saw this too [[hold the gates]] would be funny gate mana base
[[for the emperor!]]
easy to focus what the deck is about
mindless alpha strike
[[appeal//aurthority]] or room for stupid jank
Sorcery
Until end of turn, target creature gains trample and gets +X/+X, where X is the number of creatures you control.
Authority 

Sorcery
Aftermath (Cast this spell only from your graveyard. Then exile it.)
Tap up to two target creatures your opponents control. Creatures you control gain vigilance until end of turn.
which does offer small card advantage
2 spells in 1
I think the list is done for now
Essence sliver is a bit out of place but he paid for it
I got rid of Synapse for now
Shadow bribed me
the lands you didnt look for were [[mossfire valley]]
[[essence sliver]]
Alright ttyl
Its not as great in this deck tbh
Playtests are great so far
mana base didnt suck at all
double strike + this will be satisfying
Yeah we like little shits to sac or turn into mana
Trobbing Hivepool is also superb
right there
[[Trobbing Hivepool ]]
No card found for “Trobbing Hivepool”
the new sliver card?
[[Thrumming hivepool]] I knew you would check
with affainity
okay thats what.i thought it was
i am bad at sounding out cards and names
so whenever its a typo or pun, i will probably miss it
Alright
i can remember what it does
I only remember if I read it
but the details usually screws things over
when someone tell me the card do this
i tell them "read the last line, its sorcery isnt it"
inb4 i try to cast my sorcery spell as an instant XD
because there are so many cards with a slightly different name
i confuse [[big score]] with the sorcery sometimes
i still need to put together the deck that runs [[wizard of thay]]
Creature — Human Wizard
Myriad (Whenever this creature attacks, for each opponent other than defending player, you may create a token copy that's tapped and attacking that player or a planeswalker they control. Exile the tokens at end of combat.)
Instant and sorcery spells you cast cost
less to cast.
You may cast sorcery spells as though they had flash.
3/3
[[Sosuke's Summons ]] i remember seeing this thing is it a new card
How is this not legendary
man
dont even know if i have a deck for it but if i ever get one
What a commander that would be
<.<
i mean, eventually i will get to grixis [[master the multipli]] secret commander
maybe.i can fit everything in there
In the same vein yeah its mono blue so Id die playing this
How many The Master decks do you have
my proudest $2 buy, before it raise in price 10 folds
i started with it as the commander, it has lot of weakness but is really fun when it worked
and then i will just keep moving it around in every 99 as i brew and eventually build the deck
i havent put together the grixis or Mardu version
didnt i tell you [[urza's glasses]]
Multiple cards match “urza's glasses”, can you be more specific?
[[glasses of urza]]
i had this in a deck legitimately
[[!valki god of lies]] master multiplie is in there since it was the deck that used to run it. still trying to pull off the blade of selves on anything
sliver queen the real commander
dang the nonbo
Yeah
target creature is now sliver
Horrible
sliver now has shroud
Little Amoenoid Shit
maybe just straight up remove the shroud sliver then
Crystalline is literally the first sliver you wanna search for
Yeah I probably will
i would tutor morophon
Thats huh. A choice
because it opens up to all the sliver lords from indestructible to whatever you need to win from there
also instead of cryptolith rite, i think you can play the saga here
for a combo deck, you have the option to hold the saga or use the later chapter for the al;-out attack
or early ramp if desperate
unless you plan or doing it on other players turn
where the saga ability would fall of
One mana short from infinite +1+1 damn
i wonder if you have a deck for this [[oath of scholars]]
Why would I have a deck for that lol
"May" is always such a bore
Time to sleep
I'll ttyl
ttyl
i rearranged some cards and did multi-tagging for as many cards as possible including the considering deck
overall i split them into 3 types that sort of belong in diff decks but has some similarity
i think the baseline is pretty much a [[Changeling Outcast]]
1/1 for
drop, 2/2 for
drop etc that is able to do damage to at least one opponent at a time and scale with new existing silvers
this is a good example imo because vigilance is irrelevant for something that cant block (ofc other slivers can still do), most keyword abilities are useless if it doesnt add extra damage (double strike, etc) yet it will take on all the utility and triggers due to the tribal synergy
i think a beginner sliver deck should include at least a few of those for learning and flexibility within gameplay
the first one as mentioned is out, discard is to give yourself bad social credit
i am bais to the red one since i am a sucker for deathtouch synergy
[[ouilled sliver]] for the same reason
Mesmeric sliver is one of a kind with Fateseal so it is a nice chance to try it
if your friend is interesting in playing control at some point, learning instant speed interaction with blue would be important

Enchantment
Start your engines! (If you have no speed, it starts at 1. It increases once on each of your turns when an opponent loses life. Max speed is 4.)

, Sacrifice this enchantment: Search your library for up to X basic land cards, where X is your speed. Put those cards onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle.
You went all in on the changelings lol
If only it wasnt on attack trigger
those are all new adds, just to see what are the options
the 1 drop changelings are good for combo
overall, for most builds, changeling only make sense to get the ones that has the best utility, or lowest mana cost for an extra body
the bull one is nice since it just gets big and becomes a threat then it eats removal
welp he just bought rhystic study
I did around 7 playtests in the last hour; Most games are finished between T5-T7
Nothing reached T8 so far
Quite consistent
i would have cut it and keep it as a combat focused deck XD
tutor in the commander zone with a consistent win con is just asking to be targetted
Doesnt matter if you can win the same/next turn you plop it down.
if you ignore how the table react to it then yea
not neccessily bad rep but once you are seen as a "certain type" of player
it will basically affect all your future game play
I do dumb things and lose a lot (probably 25-30% win rate as a whole with a mix of good and bad decks) because of it; but i am fine with it and i think in free for all thats a very acceptable win rate
but there are still games where i am the archenemy and i am not going to try to politic my way out of it even if it cause someone's bad threat assessment to waste 99% of their cards on me and end up losing
while i dislike focusing down one player without a solid reason, its not how i play but i also have no control over someone doing that to me (usually from the competitive player who basically never build below B3 decks and play a lot of 1vs1 format)
i just have to be prepare when i sit with that player at that table
the unavoidable socially awkward part of commander. That guy basically think B1 and B3 is the same thing
and somewhat ended up with a high B2 deck
my LGS powerlevel is a mess 😅
i am actually trying some really new ways of building the deck, rather than a clear and concise objective in the game, i want a game where it would supposedly finished in a set amount of time. if i want the game to be exacty an hour long (excluding politics and dumb jokes) then each player would average out to 15mins per turn.
under that condition, i would need to build a deck where i need about 15 minutes of game action to create a winning board state and attempts for a win
whenever it is multiple turns or one final big turn
how to eliminate the uncontrollable factors are the hard part even if i ignore what other 3 decks are doing
Well if this sliver deck taught me one thing, is that I don't like 5 colors decks
And also my friend has his own vision of the deck and would rather build it very bad instead of following my advice lol
XD, i guess he is fine with the lottery of bad mana base
thats why i usually dont help with mana base too much unless thats the specific part requested for help; from the most expensive fetch shock to gates with no win con, i just look at the total land counts, as to the mana curve, and a rough colour distribution, then call it done
i really want a bounce land + [[archeomancer map]] + MDFC instant so i can really surprise someone on with the utility as the deck scales
No card found for “archeomancer map”
[[ arceomancer's map]]
someday. someday i will spell this name right
Sorry I was busy these past few days. Friend is supposed to show me what he did to the deck friday so we'll see. I've been tinkering on most of my decks, Serah and mostly Kefka. Nothing too drastic.
Still no inspiration for new decks so for now I'm taking it easy. Dr Eggman is still in my mind but I'm not building it yet.
So far the decks have been performing well except Kefka who's a massive target. I'm reducing the mana value of the spells and adding more ooph-per-mana spells.
i have too many decks to work with 😅
since i brew lot of diff power and check over many other people's deck
and i have very specific requirements when it comes to game play so certain cards never appears in my types of decks
Well I do have my own rules too. Can't have 2 of the same deck, not too many of the same color either unless they play very different (Like Serah and Garnet).
No combos ofc.
Right now, I don't have a tribal deck, and I don't have a graveyard deck
Eowyn wouldve been my Human deck if my friend didnt already upgrade his Riders of Rohan deck
The same friend with the Slivers deck btw, so I'm forced to watch a very mediocre version being played.
i dont even run the same cards in 2 decks i current have. so i cant really do two llanowar elf in 2 green decks unless its a higher power where i have to let it slide
but if i take apart that deck, i will probably build another one that do include it
i am trying to find combos that looks interesting so certain games can end
but it would be at least 3 cards in the 99
to me, colour identity, sol ring, arcane signet overlap is already alot
if i am playing the best of each colour/ staples/ removals, each deck is just so generic off-the-intenet netdeck that nearly plays the same
lucky to have 5 unique card in the 99 more less per game
i can play 20 weird janks and not draw a single one 10 turns in with a consistent draw engine
you have food tribal (legend + halfling?) the vampire one you took apart
[[Brigid, Who's Seen Some Stuff]]
its like sliver lol
[[sliver weftwinder]] online stuff
https://moxfield.com/decks/U_kOCWt24UK3LuQzJ0nbdQ Well i just took this deck of mine apart, so for the first time in a while i actually made record of it online.if you want to take a look at it for how i like my bracket 2
some card choice are... definitely more for fun and lacks the important removals against powerful decks, but it does what it does well enough
Ill check it out. Been busy. LGS went great; Marchesa has a 4/2 record so far. The best of all my decks, and the one I like to play the most.
Which made me think about other aikido/political commander decks that I could tinker with. One that seems interesting is [[Aragorn king of gondor]].
Legendary Creature — Human Noble
Vigilance, lifelink
When Aragorn enters, you become the monarch.
Whenever Aragorn attacks, up to one target creature can't block this turn. If you're the monarch, creatures can't block this turn.
"In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world."
4/4
I like the jank. I wouldve def tried to find space for [[Oketras monument]]
yeah, i dont own that and white isnt my colour, the deck has been taken apart for now so i am moving onto something else
the vigiliance + lifelink is actually insane in lower power and fair combat focused games
although it takes so much to focus on that strategy idk if it is possible to balance it with more interactions; especially against decks that play combos or alternative win-cons
phyrexian arena is either really good in a deck that has unlimited life gain, or not fast enough to get ahead

:c if only this is more affordable
token + draw + mana
just screams commander no matter what deck plays it
the angel build is the one i didnt have time to explore much more
if you can keep monarch, it is really gross
its like a good wide then overrun effect in the commander zone (assume it has haste)
the only possible misplay would be: if you have monarch, and aragorn attack trigger, dont target anything so that it cannot fizzle
i think its an alternative play style to that jetmir cat
that one is so scary leaving them a turn basically means certain death
haste, protection on combat, if you want to go for unblockable out of nowhere
just build a super wide/tall board so you dont get attacked, except when you want to give monarch away
[[dismiss into dream]] maybe too jank for you
but it would completely shut down all the voltron style decks
but that also seems closer to [[hinata, dawn-crowned]]
the fact it makes counterspells much harder to play is really good at certain power level
I was thinking more Monarch with a side of aikido yes. Too similar to Marchesa would go against how I like my decks.
I'll make this one very slowly though. I don't intent on making another purchase for a little while. I got a speeding ticket that will cost me at least 8 proxy decks lol.
Hm, not much rattlesnakes in Jeskai
I shat w/e I could find
Not a lot of great monarchy cards tbh, So I'll just put the best ones and keep the deck political/aikido for the most part
It wouldve been a good Human deck too I suppose, but that's not my inspiration rn
Lots of time to think about it anyway, I'm not in a hurry to make this deck
XD i guessed right, but thats not that expensive for that much speed
here its up to 90 around the city
It was on a highway
used to have 110 km/h when it was like very far out
yeah highway but around the city
the circle drive
what rattlesnakes means
the good haymaker?
Rattlesnakes is a term to design cards that you do not wanna attack into
[[Vampire Nighthawk]] being a good example
AKA flying+Deathtouch is a great deterrant
one thing i really want to try is taunt + giving haste to attack opponent
basically bad goading XD
but its instant speed
and repeatable
Yeah well Goading is always an option
but I'll put some pillowforts cards like ghostly prison and propanganda
This deck will want to keep Monarchy
OR, I use flicker cards to flicker Aragorn before my upkeep
[[roar of resistance]]
Ohh thats a good one
[[Frenzied Saddlebrute ]]
this cost so much but i was referring to it +
[[goblin diplomats]]
because someone will waste removal on it at some point
or the table shares the pain
[[incite war]] is again pretty bad of a card
[[warmonger hellkite]] is again overcosted
Creature — Dragon
Flying
All creatures attack each combat if able.

: Attacking creatures get +1/+0 until end of turn.
Its wings beat to the howls of war and fan the fires of rage.
5/5
Thats just shit
[[lightmine field ]]
[[sonic the hedgehog]] plays that one well
[[beats of the drum]]
No card found for “beats of the drum”
[[sound of the drum]]
[[council of four]]
That one's in, although its cost is high
there is the one thats X
that make tokens and get monarch i think that s in
also idk what art you pick
[[$forthj eorling]]
No card found for “forthj eorling”
[[$forth eorling]]

$8.09 • €14.34 • 6.86 TIX
[[legion loyalty]] while when i build a deck, i try to look for the jankest most fun option
Do you ever get to play 8 mana cost spells
though on [[rein of power]]
Its a solid card
My pods rarely reach T11
i ramp 3 turns in a row
and play no fog and block with face
[[curse of the nightly hunt]]
A few might overlap yes since they share some aikido aspect
Sorcery
Put a double strike counter on target creature, then goad each creature that had a double strike counter put on it this way. (Until your next turn, those creatures attack each combat if able and attack a player other than you if able.)
Overload 


(You may cast this spell for its overload cost. If you do, change "target" in its text to "each.")
from my experience [[agitator ant]] is kinda meh unless you really need a creature
it helps other players ' creature too much and too open to the options
Buffing Aragorn is not bad
on any creatures under their control
if its not for the goading
its basically givingthe table 6 power
in exchange for 2 power
and those creatures can still block and stuff
Aragorn doesnt care
its probably strong enough with aragorn
just pointing out ant wasnt as good from experience
[[absolute virtue]] would be so funny
Yeah could be fun
''Here's an overpriced Platinum Angel"
hate when i cant remember any names
gtg, step daughter is dumb and need a lift
but you dont take damage so you cannot go to negative life total
alright
i have no family so i dont have that problem
[[ruhan of the fomori]][[assult suit]]
[[grenzo havoc raiser]]
Legendary Creature — Goblin Rogue
Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, choose one —
• Goad target creature that player controls.
• Exile the top card of that player's library. Until end of turn, you may cast that card and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast that spell.
"You burn. I'll pillage."
2/2
i wouldnt run ghostly prison in this type of deck because i think there should be enough creatures for blockers
, overall low enchantment count
unecessary if the game plan of directing aggro onto other players
is succesful
if i want enchantment focus pillow fort, [[sphere of safety]] would fit right in, in here, not so much. as least not to the vision i have
since its 4 mana for monarch in general, i think some of that redundancy will get cut
i think [[court of ardenvale]] is meh if the deck dont have ton of options to bring back
i found [[counterflux]] to be super hard to pull off
the same way [[mindbreak trap]] is little effective in lower power
but that one is at least free at some point
holding 4 mana up with double blue is sort of hard
too telegraphed
[[excise the imperfect]] i never got to play, i think it is kind of unnecessary to pay 3 for the effect
Instant
Exile target nonland permanent. Its controller incubates X, where X is its mana value. (They create an Incubator token with X +1/+1 counters on it and "
: Transform this token." It transforms into a 0/0 Phyrexian artifact creature.)
"Riddles are but petty diversions. Phyrexia is the only truth."
and i am sure at some point in time you heard my rant about counterspell when i can [[narset reversal]]
if the deck isnt like 75% or mono blue, i dont find a slot for [[counterspell]] double U pips
at the same time, if the deck can run [[devin's veto]] with sunforger, i think there is even less of a reason to run [[negate]]
if there arent [[saphire medallion]] etc
my cuts for removal is on the extreme side
both most of which is preference
whenever you want to run 10 removal or 45 removal
[[time wipe]] i like to use with etb
vadal blast always give me mixed feelings
its either so powerful against some decks or completely dead draw that do nothing and has no synergy whatsoever
if the deck doesnt want to have a slot for a card that may do nothing at all, i wouldnt consider it in just any deck
[[anzrag's rampage]] comes with extra potential upside
Sorcery
Destroy all artifacts you don't control, then exile the top X cards of your library, where X is the number of artifacts that were put into graveyards from the battlefield this turn. You may put a creature card exiled this way onto the battlefield. It gains haste. Return it to your hand at the beginning of the next end step.
or [[brotherhoods end]] if you dont run mana rocks yourself
i have like [[gilded lotus]] in mine so i get away with it
for your generally high instant sorcery count, i think [[talrand, sky summoner]] is close to how you may want you deck
Not much answers to flying.
I thought about buying both Riders of rohan and Blame game precons but it would go up to 200$ for both. Not worth. Honestly Riders of rohan isnt, compared to Blame game. I'll see what I wanna do.
Could be good with that thingy that give my spells Lifelink
Forgot the name. I think its Jeskai too
[[Soulfire Grand Master]]
bring your own flyer
there are few more of those lifelink to spells abilities but too janky
Yeah, and Im not gonna play that much damage spells anyway.
No flyers with deathtouch in jeskai.
Ghostly/Propaganda help vs unblockable creatures too
And people will tend to send the biggest power creature and pay the cost, then I can aikido it for more benefit
ah so you do want big creatures at youy
[[Deflecting palm]] and co. prefer one big punch
poster left so theres no changing it but it gives ideas
early shift today gtg 🏃➡️
First draft. Some cuts left. Didnt make the lands yet
my vision of this type of deck dont really need a lot of spells, [[secret rendezvous]] and spellslinger focused stuff maybe my cuts
it would be much funny if it is a [[hivemind]] deck
I dont wanna cut too much into my draw
[[electronmancer]] is one of my cut
No card found for “electronmancer”
2 left. Dont wanna cut [[Mirage mirror]] looks so fun to play
1 left, I've decided to drop Flickering entirely. Would be a big nonbo with counters and equips anyway
Probably lands to 37
Colors are heavy on white, so lands will be mostly Boros and Azorius
First draft done.
I guess I'll poke the Dr Eggman deck too while I'm at it.
Tbh, it might look too much like Kefka.
Unless I make the Kefka officially B4 so that I have a b4 deck for the sweaty boyz.
Food for thought
I never netdeck a list but this one looks fun. Check it out: https://moxfield.com/decks/GBoFook_iEyCcYTpLPUQfw
I like the Phyrexian lore.
shocker all your decks are heavy white 🙄
XD
when i saw [[teyo geometric tacti]] i thought you wanted to add the wall as well
Legendary Planeswalker — Teyo
When Teyo enters, create a 0/4 white Wall creature token with defender and flying.
+1: You and target opponent each draw a card.
−2: Choose left or right. Until your next turn, each player may attack only the nearest opponent in the last chosen direction and planeswalkers controlled by that opponent.
Loyalty: 3
but i guess you cant pick both directions or it will stop all attacks
although its mainly here for draws
the wall is a good blocker but no draw
i like the wall that has accumulative unkeep, opponent gain life
will check the eggman deck later
low creature counts makes it harder to use the swords + combat trigger
Aragorn is the creature, usually
Me like Vigilance+Lifelink
I haven't made much progress with Eggman. Only 19 cards in deck rn
Not that motivated for this one tbh
It feels like discount Kefka
Lots of duplicates with Kefka (Mostly all the discard group slug cards)
and I cant even force them to discard
Trigger being at end of turn gives them a turn to react to what I drop too
I'm also looking at other ideas for decks. Right now the commanders that are interesting to me are: [[Quintorius Loremaster]] [[Kynaios and tiro]] [[Valgavoth Harrower of Souls]] and maybe [[Dihada Binder of Wills]]
Legendary Creature — Elephant Cleric
Vigilance
At the beginning of your end step, exile target noncreature, nonland card from your graveyard. Create a 3/2 red and white Spirit creature token.


,
, Sacrifice a Spirit: Choose target card exiled with Quintorius. You may cast that card this turn without paying its mana cost. If that spell would be put into a graveyard, put it on the bottom of its owner's library instead.
3/5
Legendary Planeswalker — Dihada
+2: Up to one target legendary creature gains vigilance, lifelink, and indestructible until your next turn.
−3: Reveal the top four cards of your library. Put any number of legendary cards from among them into your hand and the rest into your graveyard. Create a Treasure token for each card put into your graveyard this way.
−11: Gain control of all nonland permanents until end of turn. Untap them. They gain haste until end of turn.
Dihada, Binder of Wills can be your commander.
Loyalty: 5
I might turn Kefka into a CEDH deck, cauz theres this one guy that loves playing super high power and always try to push the table to. I'd like a deck that makes the whole table miserable.
Quintorius would be my Spellslinger deck. I'm not a super fan of them but it will help me understand them better.
Kynaios and Tiro of the Village People would be another Political/Aikido deck, but it was my 2nd choice after Aragorn; I won't do both, so I'll think of which one I wanna make.
Valgavoth would become my new Villain deck instead of Kefka for B3. Group Slug is also a deck I wanna try to make.
Dihada is another Legendary matter deck but in colors I like more. She also feels stronger as a commander than Serah Farron. I don't even remember where I've heard of her. I guess when I looked at all the playable Planeswalkers or w/e.
when you go for the top end cards, the pool is small and limting
K&T is kinda good stuff fake group hug, as least most of which i have seen if not all of them
dihada i havent seen much of
so iam not sure if that one is especially unique but legend matters do push it toward a lot of the good stuff in those colours
i played quintorius (this one oyu mentioned) in the 99 before, i didnt draw it too many times but when it stays around, having that extra "flashback" at instant speed is really nice. note that the tap ability can ONLY cast spells exiled by that first ability
at 5 drop, it is a bit slow even if you ramp
so i think the focus would be mainly on the 99 trying to cheat out fun stuff before getting that bit of control/ value to finish the game with
not to mention it needs an end step AND full turn cycle to tap for that spell
if the goal is to cast an 8 mana spell, hard casting [[city on fire]] is easier
valg has too good of a precon, so i dont think there is much needed to upgrade that one in particular
with a draw engine that can translate into a lethal threat really makes it shine
I think I'll start with Dihada. Love me some Mardu
so even tho its legend matter, technically you can also focus on the -2 to make lot of treasures
just because you find legends, doesnt mean you have to add them to hand
-3* not 2
"Target opponent become miserable for the rest of the night, this spell cannot be countered. It can target illegal targets as thought the target has no shroud, hexproof, or protection etc."
Yeah I'll probably focus on a treasures+reanimator list

I dont shit a lot of creatures tho
start shitting more stuff out
I have recursion yes but its not holy shit everything comes back all the time
[[Abyssal Harvester]] is in 100% methinks
Creature — Demon Warlock
: Exile target creature card from a graveyard that was put there this turn. Create a token that's a copy of it, except it's a Nightmare in addition to its other types. Then exile all other Nightmare tokens you control.
"Till the soil, spare no soul. / Neath the darkness, nightmares grow." —Children's nursery rhyme
3/2
No idea
eat, shit, and poop tokens works too i guess
Tokens in a Dihada deck lol
which one the dihada?
that would be interesting
mardu but its mostly tokens
you can takes whatever from that teysa deck i had
$3.53 • €6.32
$13.93
$5.69
$22.57
$21.64
$38.06
Or anything not saying "Hi, Play legendaries kthx" on the cardboard
at least one version is somewhat cheap
I never watched dr who
the real master
[[cloak and dagger]]
so when i had my master out and swing with them
cloak and dagger trigger on each entering
so i can have each one be like "This is mine. NO, this is mine"
having at least one copy staying alive is relevant when 3 toughness dies easily
[[Knuckles]]
Multiple cards match “Knuckles”, can you be more specific?
[[Knuckles the ech]]
[[brass knucle ]]
No card found for “brass knucle”
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
He fits well
yeah new cards good
Professional who?
huh?
[[Professional]]
Multiple cards match “Professional”, can you be more specific?
[[Professional face]]
I know you love powercreep
🙄 i can somewhat tolerant mana dorks and stuff to a degree
i dont want more sol rings in the game
I agree with that
imagine [[springleaf drum]] but without the tap condition needed
Sol ring makes games shittier for those who doesnt draw it
but one copy of sol ring is already auto include for b2 and above
if your game has more copies
you have to have super harsh restrictions to not play any
or be at a massive disadvantage around everyone else
You mean, 1 mana cost, tap for one colorless?
.
or
: If this permanent is on the battlefield, flip a coin. If you win the flip, exile this permanent and return it to the battlefield under its owner's control at the beginning of the next end step. If you lose the flip, sacrifice it."
