Storm's Brewing Projects and Archive

[high parcel]

ok this hand is better

this hand plays the game

[quasi magnet]

yeah

that hand is juicy

t2 wood elves, turn 3 potentially both Dryad and Birthing Ritual lol

[high parcel]

we drew into worldly and fanatic so this is a turn 4 combo?

[quasi magnet]

it could be yeah

[high parcel]

wait

no im off 1

[quasi magnet]

especially if we can get lucky on our hits

[high parcel]

i have to see a forest actually

[quasi magnet]

This hand has some damn promise lol

its got 2 pieces in hand too so its just getting all 3 out

[high parcel]

so wait what am i doing here, it's t1 sol ring t2 wood elves crossroads into t3 ????

oh this is where i needed the forest actually

and i didnt draw it

[quasi magnet]

you can start to do some step-ups with Birthing Ritual (can also grab Dryad arbor lol)

[high parcel]

yeah the plan was grab dryad arbor during opp's turn using fanatic if i dont hit anything 4 power at the 4 slot

[quasi magnet]

this one is ending on turn 5 assuming no disruption

[high parcel]

i didnt so we bricked but i think this still does stuff, i just have to play scute swarm typal

[high parcel]

yep that's the game

[quasi magnet]

lol forgot I was on 101 cards since I added orb...

[high parcel]

oh

we're not on badgermole cub

[quasi magnet]

oh true...

fuck

well now I have to find at least 1 cut

awww, I think its the Shrieker

[high parcel]

i kept this hand thinking "oh it's t1 worldly for t2 cub t3 yedora?" but actually it isnt

because there's no cub

you dont have to

that can be one of the concessions to the bracket

[quasi magnet]

okay I will def make my Core Yedora list happen lol

[quasi magnet]

its okay

[high parcel]

sorry just trying to pay attention to stuff like this while test hands so i can give actual suggestions

[quasi magnet]

I think I have some of that: Silverback Elder, Kamahl's Will, Mosswort Bridge (or not this card slaps)

[high parcel]

okay so i think this is pretty solidly around where we play

[quasi magnet]

yeah

just need to go down by 1 card

[high parcel]

i had some issues with some lines but im not very good at the deck as this is literally the first time ive ever played it

could be shrieker

could be yavimaya dryad

honestly im kinda shocked to see yavimaya dryad and not the harrow guy from mh1

since one is easier to cast

[[springbloom druid]]

[sturdy gale]

https://scryfall.com/card/fdn/767/springbloom-druid

Springbloom Druid <:mana2:292901509060886528><:manag:292901508654301185>

Creature — Elf Druid
When this creature enters, you may sacrifice a land. If you do, search your library for up to two basic land cards, put them onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle.
"New growth applies a healing poultice to wounds long scabbed over."
1/1

[quasi magnet]

Dryad, Silverback Elder, Ainok Survivalist, Kamahl's Will

Yavimaya Dryad can also get Dryad Arbor which can be nice to up the creature count

[high parcel]

oh fair

also this one has a problem when you're at like 1 land and it's urza's saga or whatever

[quasi magnet]

tbf, Idk how many lists I want to make where I'd be super happy to keep a 1-lander

or totally willing to

[high parcel]

oh i mean this one is worse in that situation for sure

than yavimaya dryad

[quasi magnet]

true

yeah

[high parcel]

but i think druid is probably the stronger card only because of the cost

2G > 1GG

[quasi magnet]

higher pip counts aren't too big a worry: there are only 3 colorless lands in the deck, and then there's Sol Ring

[high parcel]

(also because you can sac a forest creature from yedora and immediately just ramp 2)

[quasi magnet]

it does get better there but that's gonna be a lot later

[high parcel]

but at that point it's kinda like ???

splitting hairs, if we have forest creatures the game is probably ending

[quasi magnet]

I do like holding my Steve up for when I get Yedora in play so its basically a cultivate

yeah, once we start getting the already lands animated we don't need to worry too much about ramping via a harrow

[high parcel]

still was a thing i thought about while i was playing those test hands

so i thought i should bring it up

[quasi magnet]

oh for sure

I love to do it

you hold up your Steve until you can cast Yedora and then you sac it for 2 lands worth

or you don't clamp the wood elves or feed the birthing ritual until Yedora arrives

its more greedy

fun, but greedy

[high parcel]

i keep taking 1 landers in the test hands just to see how the deck can play through it

for mulligan's sake

and it's much worse than i thought it would be for playing through it

[quasi magnet]

I think this deck has room to play off of 2-landers, but 1-landers is not great

[high parcel]

again this is not a knock on the deck or anything just trying to get a feel here

[quasi magnet]

I like having lands in play, especially forests

[high parcel]

yeah, deck wants land in play, so it makes sense

[quasi magnet]

I could cut the Silverback Elder

[high parcel]

maybe, but i like having that removal tool

[quasi magnet]

yeah

but also its 5 mana plus another spell for said removal

[high parcel]

yeah i found a turn 4 kill

[quasi magnet]

oh for sure

[quasi magnet]

I think the absolute fastest I ever got with my c yedora list was turn 2 or 3

[quasi magnet]

hmmm

[high parcel]

t1 elf t2 sol ring scute t3 yedora t4 blasting station, game ends?

i drew 2 lands

[quasi magnet]

you need to stick the life and limb

[high parcel]

OH

I FORGOT TO ANIMATE THE FUCKIN LANDS

aaaaaaaAAAAAAAA

[quasi magnet]

but it still works out

just barely tho

[high parcel]

oh wait, yeah

[quasi magnet]

barely

[high parcel]

because instead i just sac the elf, it becomes a forest, scute swarm makes a guy to untap blasting station

[quasi magnet]

because you can sac the elf, make an insect, untap the station, sac the og swarm, cast life and limb

[high parcel]

yep

[quasi magnet]

but yeah you needed that one extra piece

scute swarm and springheart nantuko can do some real funny stuff in this deck

especially if you get a single scute swarm clone

[high parcel]

interesting

yeah maybe it's just the monkey

[high parcel]

hey thats

[quasi magnet]

dont worry, the Core Yedora list still has room for it

[high parcel]

turn 2 yedora t3 lethal?

[quasi magnet]

potentially

[high parcel]

is that how math works

[quasi magnet]

Yedora is 5 mana...

[high parcel]

oh nevermind scryb math

[quasi magnet]

lol

[high parcel]

scryb is 2 mana

not 1

[quasi magnet]

lol

the draw was thousand-year elixer

oh okay

[high parcel]

punished for not grabbing dryad arbor

[quasi magnet]

oh that was the first draw

[high parcel]

oh

[quasi magnet]

then we can tutor

[high parcel]

i thought you meant your turn 2 draw

[quasi magnet]

nah

[high parcel]

you dont grab arbor though right

you grab the natural order guy?

[quasi magnet]

I think we grab Ambush Commander here

or Magus of the Order

[high parcel]

yeah

[quasi magnet]

magus is good

[high parcel]

with thousand year elixir magus is 1 cheaper

[quasi magnet]

truuuuuue

[high parcel]

you've never quite greeded like me

i sneep this

it was never even a question

do i lose every time i dont draw a 2nd forest, sure

[quasi magnet]

Refresh btw, the list is now at 100

[high parcel]

ah

(im at 100 but this is pre-cub)

[quasi magnet]

lol

I like where we at, after this fish imma go to bed

work is back tomorrow

[high parcel]

i did not draw the second land

UNFORTUNATE

well, you have a good night, i think this is better

[quasi magnet]

hell yeah

tahnks friend

gnight

[high parcel]

yw

[quasi magnet]

turn 5, infinite mana and life, also turns into infinite pumps from Ambush Commander

[quasi magnet]

another turn 5 win:Badgermole cub turned dryad arbor and a t2 land into 5 mana on turn 3, and so we got to GSZ for Ambush on turn 4

had just enough mana to be able to use LQR to get 3 mana for blasting station on turn 5

I might just lean into some actual token doublers lol

[slate tangle]

I just keep looking at the card and its so insane

[quasi magnet]

its so sick

[slate tangle]

I just want to hit people with it and get stuck there

My first search was literally

"otag:gives-haste"

[quasi magnet]

oooo

Surrak and Goreclaw

[slate tangle]

Fuck yeah

[quasi magnet]

there's a bit of unnecessary there since Koma has trample

but S&G is a haste enabler

[slate tangle]

Im adding [[amonkhet raceway]] for now, for the reload

[wind bison]

That koma has always been a weird one for me

Seems like an okay finisher but just… doesn’t doa lot

For me its a starter in an aggressive ramp strategy that is hard to interact with and generates a lot of pressure

Plus snake babies

[trim minnow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f2UYOhw1FY

A starter because it curves easily off of double ramp and cant be countered

so you just need it, yedora, and the outlet instead of the animation piece

it is a land that can sac itself

since turning the lands faceup doesn't really happen

Zuran orb is interesting here

it helps with the loop but only once the lands are all animated

which is still good

it still can basically help do the loop

[sharp flax]

Yeah, it also is searchable with urza

[quasi magnet]

mhmm

its just a bit more specific than say Altar of Dementia or Blasting Station

[sharp flax]

Yeah

[quasi magnet]

its a combo that doesn't immediately win, and needs a more specific setup where its actually comboing

like you can't protues combo with zuran orb

I probably shouldn't be on Seedtime but idk, I like it lol

[sharp flax]

[[Leafkin]] feels weird here though I understand it

[sturdy gale]

Multiple cards match “Leafkin”, can you be more specific?

[quasi magnet]

its sort of a holdover from a previous iteration

[sharp flax]

Leafkin druid

[quasi magnet]

yea

it was like "its a 2-drop dork, that sometimes taps for 2"

but i think priest of titania does that better and so does joraga treespeaker

I think Leafkin and Incubation druid are looking like cuts rn

[sharp flax]

Mm. Incubation is an elf, but yeah

[quasi magnet]

it is yeah

It just often is gonna be tapping for 1

Im not gonna get a counter on it that easily

I can hold on it for now but I think it will get the cut

[sharp flax]

Yeah

Badgermole makes sense as a sub for it

Or one of them

[quasi magnet]

leafkin is gone

Im currently 4 over (maybe refresh)

consider board has more stuff and the main board has 4 cuts to make on top fo that lol

pulling from a convo elsewhere: how about winter moon?

or similar?

[sharp flax]

It does ping you here because the lands are still nonbasic

[quasi magnet]

yes

but odds are once im turning my lands back with yedora im comboing off

[sharp flax]

True

[quasi magnet]

it mainly hits my buildup when i dont have that many basics

I put it in the consider board for now

[sharp flax]

I adore winter moon fwiw. I think it can work for yedora but I'm not sure?

[quasi magnet]

I think it can too

[sharp flax]

If it works in the list you'll know it because it will actively feel like you're pulling away.

[quasi magnet]

right

if/when I finish this list, I can proxy and try it out locally

a few of the locals play c so I can try it with them

could also maybe try it around with Pell and a couple people here if time and ability permits

but yeah part of why I wanted to get input from some of yall is Im not as familiar with C

hmmmmmmmm

Grim Monolith?

[sharp flax]

Maybe? Cogs turning on that

[quasi magnet]

it helps me get to 5 faster

kind of the logic there

part of my moment of panic thinking about this list was this morning going "am I on mana vault or not? surely I am but I gotta check!"

[quasi magnet]

@rose iris no idea if this is an area you got much input on, but I do value your input and I noticed you were awake

[rose iris]

Just set off on a car trip so I’ve got time to check :)

(My brother is driving)

[quasi magnet]

figured but good to clarify

[rose iris]

Yeah lmao

My current thought would be to cut Magus of the Order? I know its a tutor for combo but it’s 4mv, plus G plus tap itself and sac another creature

[quasi magnet]

I can definitely put it in line, I think Incubation Druid is next on the chopping block?

I am sort of stuck in "find cuts" and "these other potential adds could maybe go in too so..."

the considering board has 11 potential additions

tho I am throwing cuts into there

so maybe i just take leafkin out of that board

Im also just wondering if its better to have 2 more basics over Centaur Garden and Castle Garenbrig

especially if I do want to be on Winter Moon

[rose iris]

That also makes sense - DIY black lotus is nice but requires more set up than some of your other stuff

[quasi magnet]

setup Im probably only getting from the druid itself

which is 5 mana

so its either a druid of the cowel or a gilded lotus that also makes cradle, CoDD, and Priest of Titania better

[quasi magnet]

@bright rampart

[bright rampart]

looks nice

card of the year tbh

[sharp flax]

I have seen people really be annoyed with that card

As a good way to draw the game

[bright rampart]

it for sure is

its annoyance is geting bigger than rhystics at the top

but i also think if that card destroy you maybe its time to play some slaughter pacts

and we are starting to see more pacts

Mfw the turbo decks which have cut interaction to speed up their win suddenly get slowed down by stax/counter-engines

this can def go into the consider board

okay, I have pushed myself up to 110 cards

I think the current lineup for potential cuts, based on my own thoughts:
Incubation Druid
Nature's Claim
Seedtime
Manglehorn
Magus of the Order
Karn(?)

that's not enough cuts, however, and Im not sure if they're the right ones outside of probably Incubation Druid

[quasi magnet]

@mossy mural this was the list I was working on https://moxfield.com/decks/0hT9FIWELkO-oiwi_42_LQ

(reposting here now so its easier to find)

[quasi magnet]

cuts I just made: Heritage Druid, Incubation Druid, Craterhoof, Seedtime

[quasi magnet]

@dapper otter

[quasi magnet]

Up to 1 cut left, for now

well 2, somehow forgot to put Fanatic of Rhonas in here

Cuts made so far: Heritage Druid, Incubation Druid, Hoof, Seedtime, Magus of the Order, Sylvan Tutor, Tooth and Nail, Evolutionary Leap, Castle Garenbrig, Centaur Garden, Leafkin Druid, Fellwar Stone, Sylvan Safekeeper

the cards Im thinking about cutting: Manglehorn, Scute Swarm, Selvala, Glimpse of Nature, Nature's Claim, Grim Monolith, Earthbender Ascension

any other ideas are appreciated tho

[quasi magnet]

@sharp flax Im not sure about the Ascension

I think its sweet but I feel like its just for the rampant growth and earthbend and idk if that does enough?

[sharp flax]

It was a thought not a "I'm sure I'm right on this"

[quasi magnet]

no that's fair

[sharp flax]

It gives trample eventually as well

[quasi magnet]

I have the list at 100 now so Imma mess with it

[quasi magnet]

yeah

its a good card, I will def keep it in the board to mess with

this goldfish feels nice so far

tutor for ambush commander with the battle next turn or the turn after

sadly can't also play the lotus cobra but that feels pretty solid

turn 5 win this time, but still feels good. also infinite mana in this case because of nissa

and an Autumn's Veil and LQR for protection of pieces

this def seems like an interesting keep with the winter moon

the outcome

[quasi magnet]

realized having a sac outlet on a creature would be very nice, largely due to not always having ways to put myself in a winning position if I don't draw into a sac outlet

gonna try out [[baru, fist of krosa]] as an alternative to hoof to find with a creature tutor if I don't need to find Ambush Commander, and [[starved rusalka]] as an outlet to find with the creature tutors as well

@dapper otter this is a turn 2 TOR with a few of the combo pieces in hand lol

turn 5 win

[dapper otter]

I was fiddling with the deck but getting unideal mulligans

[quasi magnet]

any ideas you have are appreciated

[dapper otter]

Only had like 5 goldfishes so small sample size, feels like I got flooded with value but not much to output into

I will need about 20 more goldfishes before I can give advice

At least

[quasi magnet]

this turn 3 is infinite mana and a chord of calling on deck to grab whatever I want, probably Baru to take a player out

[dapper otter]

I high key think I just drew unlucky while blind reviewing so take that with a grain of salt

[quasi magnet]

whatever you can/want to do, its appreciated

it does help Ive played this commander for a few years and know the lines well enough, but idk what your situation is with her

this is where i want to have Evolutionary Leap lol

infinite mana, let me draw every creature

I did misplay this playthrough a bit, but its okay

I have the option to do infinite mana and infinite life, or infinite mana and make a big body that can kill a player each turn

here's a turn 4 win. TOR is not okay

[quasi magnet]

infinite turn 6 after going into top-deck mode on turn 4

the finale was a draw I needed considering I had infinite mana

[quasi magnet]

and this is why having a card like Baru is actually very good, and a creature on a sac outlet

another turn 5 infinite

Im really glad I reworked this list because I don't think I was on Proteus Machine or Temur Charger in the first list, which seems silly

wait, nope

this is the one infinite proteus machine doesn't do infinitely

blasting station

well, not without some sort of animator, but that point we already don't need the proteus machine

[sharp flax]

So, my other thought on storyteller that's more specific to your deck is I think it's important to note it was originally brought into the meta by Sam Black in Rog Thras

The commanders both coming down before the storyteller plus having more colors available is an important difference in what it can do for the deck and the strategy

[quasi magnet]

mhmm

turn 5 infinite win

[sharp flax]

It's basically a more pro-social lantern

[quasi magnet]

turn 6 this time

dang, earthbending a City of Traitors is pretty good, eh?

more turn 5

this went infinite on turn 4, but its an infinite that doesn't win right away, so I have kept going

this one does win assuming the right battlefield since I can pump the whole team

[quasi magnet]

@fervent belfry

[sharp flax]

This is part of why I was suggesting you wanted earthbending

[quasi magnet]

mhmm

its pretty good alongside cub and it pairs good with Ba Sing Se

[sharp flax]

Yeah

Ba sing felt like a free include too

[quasi magnet]

mhmm

its felt better than some of the other nonbasics I cut too

also, as far as goldfishing can take it, haven't ran into too many times where winter moon is dead or a problem for me that much

turn 6 win only because temur charger gives trample so we infinite pump all the ones that can attack and then just swing (in this case, with how much the ambush commander costs to use, its mana neutral, so we do go infinite)

Im gonna try greeding with this

(with the way I do presumed turn order, this hand would be going second)

very clunky, but it wins turn 6 by using scute swarm and temur charger to loop w/ blasting station

feels a bit risky but if I can get enough mana then that invasion has my wincon

(going last lol)

(drew off TOR on turn 2 into said piece to find, so that's not necessary lol)

primed to win t5

what's funny is so long as Yedora is the largest creature on the field, I can draw my whole deck with selvala and infinite mana

[sharp flax]

So hope no Etali?

[quasi magnet]

yeah lol

that or Lumra

I really wanna play this against some other decks

[quasi magnet]

turn 4 win this time: proteus machine facedown, so infinite mana, and then Baru gives us infinite pump to win via combat damage using any 3 fo the 4 creatures w/o summoning sickness

[quasi magnet]

@haughty bridge @cedar lynx @jade parcel sorry for the pings, but the baru talk made me wanna bring this to ya

[quasi magnet]

Well ill post it in a bit, once I find the urge to get out of bed

But Ive now begun making a list for a MSH commander because of an idea that came into my head

[quasi magnet]

https://moxfield.com/decks/K_2zLfxJLkaHxcxhy44yNw

holy moly Im having fun

the wording on this commander is hilarious

so you cast that new paradigm spell on your upkeep because how that trigger works? make some tokens with it

@rose iris

I figure you might actually like this

at least on paper

[high parcel]

storm where is our master of the pearl trident 🙁

[quasi magnet]

hang on, hang on

Im first doing the cards that trigger the commander

the creatures are coming

[high parcel]

oh ok

[quasi magnet]

also Im not at a reasonable land count

oh this is not at the cutting step yet

[high parcel]

i was like "wait we have LOA and not Master 🙁 "

[quasi magnet]

any suggestions will be appreciated

this mana curve lol

its pre-cuts but also...

definitely need to trim down on the sorcery count

I thought about an enchantress subtheme

[quasi magnet]

now I have to make nearly 70 cuts

depending on the cuts, I will def cut Entity Tracker

started refining my questing beast deck due to some #format-philosophy convo this morning, just checking on its current weak points, and some of the unnecessary cards

@warm gyro @lethal portal @wind bison sorry for the pings but I wanted to throw yall into this one

[wind bison]

Squee

Voltron?

Light abd shadow seems mid as hell

Like if you want protection you’d probably be better off jamming Tyvar’s Stand/Tamiyo’s safekeeping

[warm gyro]

Wandering archaic my beloved

[wind bison]

The lures are also insanely powerful

[quasi magnet]

its probably the worst one int his deck, yeah

it is the only sword in the deck tho that gives pro black

put Sinew and Steel into the sideboard

which is semi redundant with what its damage trigger is, but the protection it offers is good

[quasi magnet]

https://moxfield.com/decks/K_2zLfxJLkaHxcxhy44yNw

okay, gonna try and drop this list from 167 cards to closer to a legal amount

[cedar lynx]

I would try to narrow down between making token copies or payoffs for your tokens. Because both plans seem a bit much.

Day of the Dragon style stuff doesn't matter with enough tokens. So I would choose the path.

Namor being a cast trigger also is important to keep in mind since phasing won't contribute to the value machine.

[quasi magnet]

I like DotD a lot for this deck lol

I think its kinda funny

[cedar lynx]

It's cool but, also negates all the anthem merfolks.

[quasi magnet]

Tbf, its more so a “take my board and turn it into a bunch of dragons.

Because if I have even like 4-5 tokens already, plus the 3 from it, then I suddenly have a ton of dragons

The floor is there but the ceiling is funny

Thats kind of it

I can find the conversation I had with him

From what I remember he felt it was underwhelming for what you get

[slate tangle]

Oh sure

[sharp flax]

Ok no, I misremembered (this was 4 years ago). He liked punishment instead of armageddon

But wasn't like advocating for it?

[slate tangle]

I see

[sharp flax]

This was my comment on it in the feedback thread and the problems I had #sheldons-article-feedback message

So like, in a hearthhull deck where you float mana, sac your lands to drain and then cast it?

But if you're just playing it like, straight, it's not a big difference

[quasi magnet]

I mean that is my main worry for it, and something I wanna try out

Also the wording is a bit clunky and confusing

[green niche]

I think playing it just for treasure reasons will probably be underwhelming. Since you have secondary benefits to those treasures, I can see it being worth a try.
In my case, I considered it for Magar where I'd intend to re-cast and without the 5 mana investment each time.

Should probably include Lotus Field and/or Vale considering.

[quasi magnet]

Yeah

Only time will tell

[green niche]

Sundering Eruption is good for every this deck.

[quasi magnet]

That crossed out word doesn’t need to be crossed out

But yeah I will probably add it

Idk about the other MDFCs tho

[green niche]

-# I know. lol It's so good.

[quasi magnet]

I think Imma also play Sink because those two are so good, and also red and blue are likely my most heavy colors for this deck

[quasi magnet]

So Im at 100 cards

I do plan to keep adding more so any more suggestions are appreciated

[quasi magnet]

Because I feel like there’s a lot more I could add but Im just blanking

And edhrec has no page for this for any final ideas

Propaganda feels weird to me

Both for the "ah yes, olympics are propaganda" message and that it's the only one of that effect you have

[quasi magnet]

That first part is not intentional lol

But fair

I did consider the other ones

[sharp flax]

I figured it wasn't, but it's probably a byproduct of being old and how the olympics were talked about when I was younger
