i doubt you need solemn simulacrum in this build. high cost, full on aggresive all out attack mode
who needs blockers
novel bramble
Probably not
warped flare
as much as i like [[military intelligent]] i think its janky
zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
you love your draw though so who knows
novel bramble
But solemn can be constantly sacced every turn
warped flare
when a deck has like sneak attack, terror of the peak
those raw damage kinda ignores going for the long value game
terror is just broken in general, i think my final marchesa was cloning. if i clone multiple terror, the game ends in like then 2 turns whatever i pop out
novel bramble
I guess. I just made a list
This deck might need more boardwipes though, since I'm pretty much immune to them
warped flare
ideally, you can play without marchesa, and if she is coming out, better have a way to give her a counter and send to grave
yeah, as long as you are not up against farewell
you can toxic deludge yourself

Haste can do that, and I still play a couple counterspells

There's actually very few enchantment removal in Grixis. Surprising

Yeah, assuming I have one and mana open
I mihgt just go Feed the swarm and Withering Torment then
warped flare
thats why i struggle against enchantment as a rakdos player
enchantment type is in itself unfair advantage in commander against all non white decks

I mean its not super common either
warped flare
XD i have or known someone with a 99% enchantment (for all non lands) decks
he is a nice but the power of some of if not most of those decks and the pricey stuff are gross
my LGS had some of those gross things depends on the table and player match up

i did look

But anyway, I added the flares by default, they all fit
warped flare
i am just not doing the math at all until its somewhat close to 100 cards
because unlike green and black flares, red and blue need something on stack
red specifically target instant sorcery
so even tho they can all be free
having a target ontop of the sac is what makes it more conditional
novel bramble
Its also a good Swords to Plowshare dodger

i have more than enough games where i get stuck with [[reverbate]] in hand and no decent target

so that same guy lost to his own win con the same way twice that night

thats his problem casting a spell with wandering on board
warped flare
i think he wasnt expecting me to be able to steal it, but i did something else to be able to
probably like destroyed the hexproof thing or sth idr
but the point was that dualcaster copy was doing nothing every game until a very niche situation happened
so as much as i love red copies and mess with the order of the stack
i have to admit they arent rarely as good as expected
not to the point of jank but meta dependent
best bet is to copy your own spell, and if that count in the 99 is low... the chance decreases
if your LGS is like 50% interactions
then your chance is much better than mine
warped flare
and if a deck is running close to 20 spot removals, boardwipes are more efficient, if they are doing over 13 wipes, stax is more consistent
i think my most removal was like etb in simic and i have up to 25 ways to remove target problem
thats not counting the commander [[volo guide to monster]] doubling/tripling my copies
zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
but it didnt really have boardwipes
novel bramble
I think every deck should run at least 10 removal pieces, although I havent followed that rule for every deck
sometimes its hard to cut "The main plan" to add interaction
warped flare
i think my lowest removal was like 5 in the 99 XD somehow still winning
no flashback just single use 5 removes pieces
novel bramble
My lowest is def in my Toph deck. Its so hard to cut anything
warped flare
marchesa one of the less janky creature i had was chupacarba
so etb destroy target on repeat if looped
warped flare
but it was just because 4 mana was my sweet spot and its a card i already own
i think there are lowkey better stuff now
with proxy no budget you can probably do close to reserve list stuff
exchange control is also broken good on etb

What about [[Noxious Gearhulk]]... 6 mana too much right?

Yeah. Might need to find space for Demonic Tutor and co then.

in your case i think you dont need gearhulk since you also have the wurm

As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice any number of nonland permanents. This spell costs less to cast for each permanent sacrificed this way.
Whenever this creature enters or attacks, put a blight counter on it. Then for each blight counter on it, each opponent loses 4 life unless that player sacrifices a nonland permanent of their choice or discards a card.

Few tech that looked fine: [[Rottenmouth Viper]] could be nice, with all the has...
ehh that one is very strong in any decks
not as bad as toxiro but i remember a game where it was just getting reanimated non stop and the table sort of chasing after it
each opponent loses 4 life unless that player sacrifices a nonland permanent of their choice or discards a card. the part that matters
repeatable
burn, or resources denial
so it puts a clock on everyone's head
so power/play pattern aside
the burn can potentially become a nonbo with dethrone
i would say its a finisher rather than something you want out as early as possible
and its like "if you are going to win, make it quick and not drag it out"
rankle flying matters a lot so i like that edict. build in haste too if played on curve with nothing else
and whenever there is this "group hug/symmetrical" effect, people tends to let it happen a little bit more
and not spend removal on it until it becomes a problem

warped flare
https://scryfall.com/card/sos/80/emeritus-of-woe-demonic-tutor
since it enters perpared, the first cast is almost as much mana as playing with [[diabiolic tutor]] on a big body. but after that , repeatible tutor is game winning and i can see that makes your small creatures unblockable if they want to avoid combat giving you a prepare for the following turn
zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
but most of the time, a sorcery speed tutor with that much mana means you just need to find the right card and isnt going to be doing too much with it unless you know what is coming on the following turn
novel bramble
The body itself isnt bad though; 5/4 for 4 mana
warped flare
https://scryfall.com/card/sos/45/emeritus-of-ideation-ancestral-recall
if you can cheat it rather than hard cast, the value is lot better. itself is 5 mana flying 5/5 which can be a win con
novel bramble
technically 6/5 with dethrone
warped flare
yeah those are all big stats on what used to be the most broken spells
its not as full value as adventure spells
but you are getting more power up version on both ends
novel bramble
if you can cheat it rather than hard cast, the value is lot better. itself is 5 ...
Not only that, if I can loop him every turn and have the mana its potentially 15 card draw
warped flare
you are using scampering surveyor?
novel bramble
I have them both so its fine to test anyway
warped flare
i never like how slow that is
novel bramble
Its loopable which is why I like it, although its hard to do
warped flare
meh
novel bramble
but ramping every turn is still good value
warped flare
value on loop can be fun
but they are only good for setting up for the next turn
sometimes there are no next turn
warped flare
Its 9 damage per player turn with a sac outlet. This is insane
but terror of the peak is just a reanimatable warstorm surge and comes with flying
novel bramble
Doesnt trigger on itself
warped flare
i think from 5 to 6 mana is usually that turning point
novel bramble
I plan to have both anywya
warped flare
it dependso n how many +1 counters goes on your reanimated stuff
novel bramble
But Flayer is def. not getting cut now
warped flare
well i didnt think you were trying to cut flayer
novel bramble
I dont have a ton of counters engine that can put counters automatically on stuff as they enter
but I have a couple still
warped flare
you are going to run out of life so fast with madame XD
oh and i think for flayer/etb burn equals to power
those doesnt see the new power
UNLESS that creature leaves before the trigger resolves
[[terror of the peak]]
zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
[[?terror of the peak]]
zealous ridgeBOT
zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
The creature that entered from your graveyard deals damage equal to its current power (including any +1/+1 counters it entered with)
this is the biggest difference
so 3 power enters, the trigger is set to 3 damage, even if the power got buffed is how i understands it
if you pump power, that doesnt change, but if its higher power, then it leaves (sac etc) then that power will change and deal more
warped flare
sort of
novel bramble
But I have to sac him before his effect procs
novel bramble
ok
warped flare
i mean HAVE +1 counters
i looked this up a while back because i wanted to check for deathtouch damage in the middle of a trigger
novel bramble
Lets play it out just to be sure: I have Madame null and a sac outlet on the field
I cast Flayer, I don't pay for Madame.
I sac Flayer, Undying triggers, Flayer tries to come back on the board with a +1 counter
warped flare
sac flayer, flayer udying trigger, comes back, damage on etb, stack madame on top, damage unchanged
novel bramble
Ok, madame doesnt work with Flayer then.
But I could pay 5 life and have it enter as a 10 power creature tho?
warped flare
after stack madame, before flayer damage resolves, sac flayer again, damage now checks for the new power before it leaves
where terror would see the final regardless
terror double dips since its on ALL etb
it will be etb finisher each time
[[!dagger caster]] this is the interaction i learnt because if i can give it deathtouch at instant speed in respond to the etb burn
zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
nothing changes
but if i let the deathtouch instant resolve, AND THEN sac it, then the trigger on the stack will see that the creature had deathtouch
novel bramble
Terror sees 10 power or 5 when Flayer comes back?
warped flare
[[?terror of the peak]]
zealous ridgeBOT
novel bramble
Oh yeah I need to sac it again
warped flare
https://scryfall.com/card/c19/144/flayer-of-the-hatebound#rulings
thats why this is much longer
novel bramble
If I dont sac him with Terror on the stack, it does 5 damage, but if I do, it would do 10?
warped flare
2011-01-22 The creature that entered from your graveyard deals damage equal to its current power (including any +1/+1 counters it entered with) to the target permanent or player. If it's no longer on the battlefield when the ability resolves, its last known existence on the battlefield is checked to determine its power.
with terror always full damage
no need to sac
novel bramble
Even with Madame?
warped flare
frayer checks on the moment of the creature entering
terror checks on the moment the ability resolves
novel bramble
Damn, why though
zealous ridgeBOT
novel bramble
It reads the same way
warped flare
i would lowkey feel bad to do it even in B3 because of the potential burn and instant win out of it, but its a fun achievement
novel bramble
Because enters the battlefield and enters from your graveyard isnt the same timing-wise?
warped flare
until it becomes an instant win button
no, entering is the same
[[terror of the peak]][[flayer of hatebound]]
warped flare
its just the source of the damage
terror is the source
it checks a creature entering and checks for the power of the thing
flayer is the source of the ability, but the creature is the source of the damage
it puts an ability on the stack for that entered creature to do damage
so flayer predetermine that amount of damage aka the power when it enters
terror just looks for the amount of damage to deal as the ability resolves
novel bramble
Why would he predetermine
novel bramble
if his trigger only get on the stack when a creature enters from grave
warped flare
the way they put a trigger on the stack are differernt
[[$flayer of the hatebound]]
zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
devils are meant to be bad, dragons good $$$$
in the end you just need to know the difference i guess
novel bramble
I mean Terror's trigger is a lot easier to trigger too
novel bramble
I understand how they work, but I don't understand why they work that way. Terror makes 100% sense to me, but Flayer doesnt
warped flare
or a flicker deck
yeah, its hard to understand. idk if my understand is correct but thats sort of how i see it
if something enters directly from grave to battlefield
etb trigger
that part isnt any different from peak
but because the source of the ability and the source of the damage arent the same
when an ability goes on the stack, it seems to take note of a number
of how much is going to be dealt
in this case, its that entered creatures power
novel bramble
Just to make sure, if Flayer and multiple other creatures ETB from grave at the same time, he will trigger for each of them right?
warped flare
and the flayer's ability resolve allows that entered creature (with any ability) to do the damage
yep
that s the easy way and ignore all the mess
and because the game looks for last known information if something is no longer there
novel bramble
Yeah, all in all when he arrive I probably win right there and then
warped flare
if that creature tries to deal damage but isnt on the board
it will check and correct to it's new power
and deal damage equal to that power
then flayer allows for the full damage to happen dispite increasing its power
novel bramble
Are the rules different when its Flayer triggering himself and another creature triggering him?
warped flare
what do you mean
it should be the same
as long as flayer triggers
the damage is the power of the creature that enters
novel bramble
When he ETB from his Undying ability, he deals 5 damage, no?
warped flare
Yes Undying (When this creature dies, if it had no +1/+1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control with a +1/+1 counter on it.)
Enters with +1 counter on it
novel bramble
But madame null wouldn't work on making him deal 10 damage, correct?
warped flare
so it is like [[glorious anthem]]
zealous ridgeBOT
novel bramble
since he needs to have entered
warped flare
it fixes the power before it sees the battlefield/is seen on board
yeah madame cant increase that damage unless you have another way of removing flayer
after the power increase
novel bramble
So if I buff with with madame null, and sac him while his effect is still on the stack... He does 10 damage?
warped flare
and thats why i love my weird commander interactions and i consider this to be the easier ones i have done XD
yes that
novel bramble
Ok, I'm starting to see.
Weird dude.
Reading the card doesnt explains it this time
warped flare
and i remember that he was in the 2019 precon with like madness cast from grave stuff
most people didnt know about that casting from grave
will enter the stack before enter the field
so its not actually a reanimate directly from grave to field
even though that rule is under flayer
and edhrec had an eps that pointed out that number % being too high
but it was also in the precon
it was the my first cut the moment i got that precon, but i hardly played it because i didnt like anje's value play
i am red-deck-win philosophy, i am here to burn my hand, not churn through my deck and draw for value
i wonder how good is anje combo in Cedh nowadays, its too obvious and i think it has consistency issues on top of boring play pattern?

you can backup resolve last and use madame for just 1 life 1 counter
you can manipulate your life total and power this way

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.)

i actually made this mistake before
the trick is to play it post combat
and not goad yourself if you dont have to

Why wouldnt I tho
warped flare
you can get double strike and swing out for double strike combat triggers?
but in return

But I'm trying to not play repetitive cards between the Marchesa decks

if you overkill the table

you will lose that "pillowfort" player in front of yourself

i basically killed the other player and ended up getting goaded creatures with double strike coming at me

quite many new players that i only see once
they are naive to the game

Yeah I almost feel bad not paying much attention to what they're doing while I focus on the good player
Threat evaluation and how to be aggressive is hard
I understand the feeling of not wanting to attack with too many creatures "just in case I need to block"
but its always the right play to attack the player with no blockers because he's building his lego set

Changes to Toph; I removed anything that gave +1/double counters. I figured my principal use of earthbending was to sacrifice and reuse strong cards so using mana to give them more counters instead of just playing more strong cards was nonbo
I added more ways to turn toph into an artifact, and more ways to double trigger her effect
It might make some creatures a lot worse like [[Giggling Skitterspike]] , in which case I'll switch it to other cards

cya, good day at work

done
novel bramble
I started playing this game a year ago. Crazy how many cards had their prices increase by 50%+
I was looking into maybe turning Toph to real cards and honestly? not worth it.
Anyway. Small changes: [[Nissa Ressurgent Animist]] is probably better than [[Tannuk memorial]] considering that every elf and elemental are worth drawing.
novel bramble
Yeah pretty strong with Nissa.
T6
Another T6. Deck feels a lot more consistent, card draw is iffy, but in this case I can swing with Gigling, and I have enough mana to Freyalise and Monstrosity again if needed.
Welp, same round lol
I got the Survey Mechan on loop with Toph to draw 3 every turn, everything earthbended is hexproof and indestructible (Toph)
Oops, survey mechan has summoning Sickness. This doesnt work 100%
Question: Earthbent artifact creatures that comes back to the field have summoning sickness?
Another T6 strong position. I can ramp with Elvish and draw cards by looping the Ichor Wellspring, and I'll earthbend Esper Sentinel to get potentially 2x per players because I don't think they'll pay the 2 twice (With Romaing Throne)
Yeah. I'm very satisfied so far.
Ofc when I actually play this for real my mulligan will be uber trash.
warped flare
I was looking into maybe turning Toph to real cards and honestly? not worth it.
i mean you are also picking good cards
if you play mostly janks and bulk, or cards that are generic enough to get lot of reprint and not retain value
then its much cheaper

https://scryfall.com/card/eoe/233/tannuk-memorial-ensign
i think the ping is just not as consistent unless you go into some sort of loop
but nissa is also like a lotus cobra, when you said you have too much mana already
but it is also better card "draw"

but cabal is kinda rare enough

Oh yeah. But its rare enough
warped flare
below B3
novel bramble
Technically this deck can deal with lands quite easily
warped flare
if they are mono black, i would give it
otherwise, all fetches duo and utility lands + urborg cabal is greedy af
those players are both easy to punish and deserves every bit of it
novel bramble
Lol yeah
warped flare
they are a rare breed so i dont have to prepare that perfect counter everything ghost quater deck as well
novel bramble
I wouldnt play both unless I have land tutors
warped flare
and tbh one of them is just very unfun to play against since all his decks are basically by definition B4 with "MDL" sort of colour denial effect
and only blood moons that can affect my cheap ass basics
pre bracket days, idk how much of him contributed to "scaring away" newer players
otherwise i expect that 20 year old LGS to be much bigger today
the owner isnt the friendliest either so theres also that

how good is tomik?

they ends tapped, and are creatures, so yes summoning sickness applies to all creature permanents

eager bayBOT
warped flare
when summoning sickness is an informal term that technically has nothing to do with summoning

And I always end up with no cards and too much mana anyway
warped flare
brb

Gtg anyway. Ttyl 👋
warped flare
i never thought its too much, it was more so a "how many lands i need to be wort\h it"
and Toph makes it super easy
one of those perfect fit in terms of synergy
much weaker in any other commander but still usable
novel bramble
Last last one just cauz this was funny.
T7 I dropped Toph earthbending master and upped her experience counter to 15
I can wipe the whole board minus all my stuff, except the tokens
All my stuff is indestructible, I didnt bother calcing Ashaya's and Greensleeves Power
Having both Lotus Cobra and Nissa on the board creates a situation wehre I go mana positive everytime I drop a 1 mana artifact
I think the deck is complete. Cross fingers
warped flare
Exodia hand
yeah, perfect basics and sol ring start is one heck of a an infinite turn. do people get piss on T4 infinite in B3?
so many badgers

Tawnos learned quickly from Urza that utter simplicity often led to wondrous, yet subtle utility.

still kinda cost mana at first

if everyone is at the same power, its not pubstomping

ofc, I just meant that she's viable up there
warped flare
fair, so there are some nice fast combos

my LGS typically dont plan for B4. but the long time players usually have the "salty 2nd/3rd" game deck if the first one went really bad against something very out of proportion

i dont play aggro in blue often enough but its utility is so good, i guess with delney and double strike, you can basically turn it into a 3/3 cantrip on first hit and then copy another thing right away
i would add more double strike into the deck

not the best for shuffling but the feel is alright
