Legendary Creature — Human Scout
Whenever Hans Eriksson attacks, reveal the top card of your library. If it's a creature card, put it onto the battlefield tapped and attacking defending player or a planeswalker they control. Otherwise, put that card into your hand. When you put a creature card onto the battlefield this way, it fights Hans Eriksson.

1/4

junior meteor
#

ack, hans, run, it's the w a l l s o f b a s i n g s e

#

but yeah i think it's probably great in jaws

#

another new inclusion is [[Engineered Explosives]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

which i have not gotten to try out but would have been insane last night

#

x=2 is very achievable

#

but also, it does just blow up your tokens??

thorny plinth
#

No, it only does the set number

junior meteor
#

yeah

#

if you need it to blow up tokens

thorny plinth
#

And it only can have 1 charge counter, or 0

junior meteor
#

you set it to x=0

#

it can have more than 1, because treasures

#

😄

thorny plinth
#

True

junior meteor
#

that was why i considered running it, i make so many goddamn treasures in my build

#

that ee is just crazy

#

no reason not to run it

thorny plinth
#

I have [[relic of legends]] in mine because I have so many legendary creatures

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

i dont have that many SCGbigsad

thorny plinth
#

I don't have many more creatures than you

#

I have 22 currently

junior meteor
#

i'm on 8 total legendaries

#

with jaws included

thorny plinth
#

I have 12 in addition to Jaws

junior meteor
#

yeah so most of the difference in creature count is legends

#

4 of the 5

#

i'm still trying out [[magmakin artillerist]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

i have a feeling this card is good

#

but i can't prove it

thorny plinth
#

Most of my legends are backups to jaws

junior meteor
#

yeah see that's something i think is kinda important

#

i dont have a jaws backup: if i can't cast jaws, my answer is magmakin artillerist and wheels

#

that's really it

#

oh, or knuckles

#

i can play a "fair" game with plunderer, jjj, and facebreaker, but i will just lose that game

thorny plinth
#

The idea is by having backups they can't just focus on removing one of my things

junior meteor
#

oh i have a question for you actually

#

have you tried [[valakut awakening]] and did it feel like shit for you too if so

static gustBOT
#

Instant
Put any number of cards from your hand on the bottom of your library, then draw that many cards plus one.
"My ancestors reshaped the world to their vision. I have a few ideas of my own." —Tars Olan, stoneforge mystic

Valakut Stoneforge
Land
This land enters tapped.
manat: Add manar.
"I can hear the echo of their hammers, long stilled." —Tars Olan, stoneforge mystic

thorny plinth
#

Yes

#

I love that card but Jaws doesn't want to reheat cards

#

And really wants untapped lands

peak shuttle
#

No microwaves for the shark.

junior meteor
#

yeah true

#

mxkale you should be on snort btw

#

card's crazy

#

i didnt think it would be as good as it is

thorny plinth
#

I'm still heavily considering [[structural assault]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

my worry with that is like, i don't really have a good way atm to get my equips back if they go

#

but i looked at that and pulverize

#

i'm much more heavily reliant on those equips to deal my burn damage than you are

#

it is probably fine for you

thorny plinth
#

I just don't like the self wipe angle

junior meteor
#

yeah that's why i thought you might be on soul immo

thorny plinth
#

But I definitely feel about the not having a wipe in it

junior meteor
#

because like, you can blight 5 onto a 4/1 skeleton

#

and suddenly your opponents dont have a board

#

this deck's so hard to build because there's just so many cards that look like they'd be good

#

but actually they fuck up your gameplay in ways you don't really get until they happen

#

like i was on [[reckless rage]] but actually this makes shark die to lightning bolt

static gustBOT
thorny plinth
#

I've updated my sideboard to be the more accurate cards I'm planning on trying

junior meteor
#

i think you will like curse of op

#

it's been really, really powerful for me

thorny plinth
#

Yeah, I just run it in so many red decks already

junior meteor
#

yeah

#

Raph's Technique I think I'm lower on than Snort or Wheel of Misfortune

thorny plinth
#

Refresh

#

I accidentally included that

junior meteor
#

oh

#

lmao

#

i was gonna say, i was a little confused but i kinda trust you on stuff like that so i was willing to hear it out

thorny plinth
#

Meant to have Ninja destroyer

junior meteor
#

ah yeah

#

staying higher on the legend count probably helps for mox amber too

#

which im not on but you could be

#

i probably wouldn't include it until you try out zhao though

#

not that many low-cost legends

thorny plinth
#

I still like fomo

junior meteor
#

i think fomo is probably good but i would definitely be on wheels if im on it

#

not to harp on it

thorny plinth
#

Yeah, and I'm on [[change of fortune]] and Clive

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

honestly might be something i include if i go on the skittering precursor build

#

i do kinda wonder if this is an [[ox of agonas]] deck

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

and you just never cast this from hand

thorny plinth
#

I think it's close but I've never liked ox

junior meteor
#

eight is so fucking many though

#

i love ox, it's one of my favorite alltime creatures

thorny plinth
#

I know several people are really high on it

junior meteor
#

one of the people i was looking at builds for with Jaws was on it and i didnt get to ask them how they felt about it

#

but they were on like 5 wheels

#

discard build feels weird to me

#

but i could definitely be convinced that [[glint-horn buccaneer]] is better than Reckless Fireweaver or whatever

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

hard to convince me it's better than weftstalker

thorny plinth
#

I know that colossus hammer is still weird here but it's just funny with magnetic theft and otherwise I can sacrifice it

junior meteor
#

yeah, i'd be on it if i was on magnetic theft

#

are you still big on turn inside out + monstrous rage

#

like how have those felt for you

thorny plinth
#

Turn inside out has been better than monstrous rage I've been planning on swapping it out

junior meteor
#

mostly asking because i think i might be on [[bulk up]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

or smash through or whatever

#

the one that's a split second pump or artifact removal

thorny plinth
#

I was probably changing it out with [[temur battlerage]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

TBR good

#

i'm off TBR right now

thorny plinth
#

or [[dreadmaw's ire]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

but i dont think it's wrong

thorny plinth
#

I see more deathtouch

junior meteor
#

yeah i see a lot less so tbr is less valuable than something that just gives a large amount of power

#

still might end up being TBR over soulcleaver though

thorny plinth
#

TIO has been good though becasue I can use it on opponent's stuff

#

And then I still get the manifest dread

junior meteor
#

yeah still a draw 2

#

i might actually be on [[witch's mark]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

is that crazy

thorny plinth
#

No

junior meteor
#

speaking of draw 2s

#

lmao

#

i think if im gonna keep magmakin artillerist it might actually be worth it

#

just have an extra copy of demand answers but it's a pump too

#

if only there were actually literally another card with demand answers' text

thorny plinth
#

fwiw, the reason i don't have monument to endurance is I'm still out of them even though I have 3

junior meteor
#

i am not on it beacuse i just dont like the card

thorny plinth
#

I love it too much

junior meteor
#

but i think depending on how much discard you're on it probably gets better

#

like i think if i go up to 3 or 4 wheels i might try it

#

but i feel like a lot of the time it is bait

thorny plinth
#

Yeah

junior meteor
#

i have been the "that's bait but i believe it" person more than once with it

thorny plinth
#

I'm going to be interested if I end up building brallin/shabraz once we get in-universe Jaws

#

Monument is a card that's been best in decks where I can control discards or clone it

#

Like, a monument list running [[mirrorform]] would be hilarious and I sort of need to try to build it

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

mirrorform monument and cast windfall

thorny plinth
#

Yep

junior meteor
#

whoops i have gained every resource

#

GL op

junior meteor
#

I think you're right, I'm gonna trim the sideboard to just be things I want to try (plus Walk the Plank so I can keep that art)

#

and then put the things in the considering that I know work and can come in or out

junior meteor
#

A couple of other cards I wanna look at, considering how often I'm solo swinging with Jaws:
[[Seifer Almasy]] — Gives doublestrike to solo attackers, and if he swings and hits can recast my copy of Spectacular Showdown? kinda big, but costs 4 mana.
[[Tempered in Solitude]] — Card draw but only if you attack alone and only one card a turn. It's a little weird!

static gustBOT
#

Legendary Creature — Human Knight
Whenever a creature you control attacks alone, it gains double strike until end of turn.
Fire Cross — Whenever Seifer Almasy deals combat damage to a player, you may cast target instant or sorcery card with mana value 3 or less from your graveyard without paying its mana cost. If that spell would be put into your graveyard, exile it instead.
3/4

icy lodge
#

Seifer is really good

thorny plinth
#

If you want to voltron this, those can both work

#

[[bilbo's ring]] might be worth it?

static gustBOT
thorny plinth
#

nm, I forgot what the reduction condition was on the equip

tranquil onyx
junior meteor
#

and burn damage to my opponents = good

junior meteor
#

casting 2 spells cost 3 or less from my grave can realistically be like, spectacular showdown + a removal spell or whatever

#

or hell, wheel of misfortune

#

like [[Molten Psyche]] is very close

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

the problem being i never have enough cards for this to actually draw me anything

junior meteor
#

Thinking about [[Firestorm]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

I dont think it is as good in Jaws as Satya but it might be better than some other removal options

thorny plinth
#

I just wish it didn't have its current price issue

#

But if you're playing online that's not a problem

junior meteor
#

oh im proxying if i get physical paper anyway

#

card price is never an issue for me because i don't support WOTC monetarily

#

also, if i wanted a physical copy i'd get goldborder anyway

#

I'm just trying to think about potential additions, I don't think Firestorm is actually good because there's not really an easy way in monored to repeatedly get Casey Jones' ETB

#

and that'd be the only way to really draw enough cards to make firestorm worth it

#

i guess there's always like, molten duplication or whatever

#

i don't really wanna be on molten dupe though

#

[[Molten Duplication]] actually does this hit artifacts

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

HOLY FUCK IT DOES

#

WAIT ACTUALLY IS MOLTEN DUPE THE TENTACLES REAL MAYBE

thorny plinth
#

I still like [[red sun's twilight]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

well the idea was that i can make a copy of tentacles, which makes jaws a 13/13?

#

and the following turn i threaten lethal on whoever that hits

#

because he's a 9/9

thorny plinth
#

Yeah, no, i was just talking about in general

junior meteor
#

oh yeah fair

thorny plinth
#

Not in this case specifically tentacle

junior meteor
#

and then of course i could also use casey jones for card advantage if i run that

#

hmmm

thorny plinth
#

[[tempestra]] tbh

static gustBOT
thorny plinth
#

She can make copies of jaws by sacrificing a blood

#

And she's the only kiki-style copy effect that's nonlegendary for output

junior meteor
#

oh, that's actually not a bad shout actually

#

i might try her out, that's legitimately very interesting

#

and she curves very well into jaws

thorny plinth
#

Yep

junior meteor
#

tempestra -> j jonah jameson, give her menace, make a treasure -> jaws

thorny plinth
#

Tezzeret can untap her

junior meteor
#

and i would love for Tempestra to be good in this deck because I love Tempestra

#

wait, can he?

thorny plinth
#

[[tezzeret cruel]]

static gustBOT
#

Legendary Planeswalker — Tezzeret
Whenever an artifact you control enters, put a loyalty counter on Tezzeret.
0: Untap target artifact or creature. If it's an artifact creature, put a +1/+1 counter on it.
−3: Search your library for an artifact card with mana value 1 or less, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
−7: You get an emblem with "At the beginning of combat on your turn, put three +1/+1 counters on target artifact you control. If it's not a creature, it becomes a 0/0 Robot artifact creature."
Loyalty: 4

junior meteor
#

[[Tezzeret Cruel Captain]]

static gustBOT
#

Legendary Planeswalker — Tezzeret
Whenever an artifact you control enters, put a loyalty counter on Tezzeret.
0: Untap target artifact or creature. If it's an artifact creature, put a +1/+1 counter on it.
−3: Search your library for an artifact card with mana value 1 or less, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
−7: You get an emblem with "At the beginning of combat on your turn, put three +1/+1 counters on target artifact you control. If it's not a creature, it becomes a 0/0 Robot artifact creature."
Loyalty: 4

junior meteor
#

IT'S ARTIFACT OR CREATURE

#

WAIT

thorny plinth
#

Yep

junior meteor
#

👀

thorny plinth
#

This is why people think I build spooky decks

junior meteor
#

and again, worst case scenario if you don't think you can hit with two jaws, you just clone the tentacles ahead of time

#

because she can do that too

#

actually, might be harder to do that, but still

thorny plinth
#

You have to clone tentacle, untap, then clone jaws

#

Tentacle will attach to the copy on etb

junior meteor
#

yeah

#

and then you have two 9/9s that make a total of 18 tokens

#

crazy shit

thorny plinth
#

And, for me, I can do [[sundial of the infinite]] shenans because she doesn't have delina nonsense

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

im not on sundial because i do not trust my ability to do that

#

but i do think tempestra might be the play

#

and if im on tempestra i might try out mox amber

#

my legend count is kinda getting up there

thorny plinth
#

I'd almost do mox opal first?

junior meteor
#

im already on opal

thorny plinth
#

RIght, forgot

junior meteor
#

Zhao, Ragavan, Tempestra, JJJ, Slobad

#

very close i think

thorny plinth
#

She can also clone like jjj for extra treasure

junior meteor
#

and another menace trigger

thorny plinth
#

Yep

junior meteor
#

because something i do a lot is just tempo jjj

#

giving it to literally anything is huge, so

thorny plinth
#

The clone can suspect itself if needed

junior meteor
#

yep

#

dargo technically also a low-cost legend but i kinda need the mana first

#

Zhao was fantastic yesterday btw

#

card's actually incredible

#

if people just let me play it and trust i will not pay 9 mana for blood moon i think i still get so much out of it that it's worth the slot

thorny plinth
#

I think people will trust me enough to do that

junior meteor
#

and if they don't trust me i say my replacement is tanglewire

#

🙂

thorny plinth
#

More people distrust me over [[crime novelist]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

oh yeah people hate that

#

they see crime novelist and they're like "oh that's a 3 mana ritual that generates 15 mana with kci"

thorny plinth
#

Or [[combustion man]] (which I'm still not cutting him)

static gustBOT
thorny plinth
#

But yeah, I do think Tempestra here is very good and she's going to be ignored in a lot of builds (in EDH in general) because of her activated ability being 3

junior meteor
#

I'm at least gonna test her out

#

I also think I might try out Molten Duplication specifically and not any of the other clones

#

Another card I wanna try is Throne of Eldraine

#

I need to actually set up a proper sideboard tonight, I was just so tired that I played 1 match and went to sleep

#

I think it might be reasonable, even, to look at Godo lists to see the things they're on, they're not quite the same but we're both big red decks that need to go to combat to win so surely they have some tech that could be helpful.

#

like i know Godo's been on [[Anje's Ravager]] and [[Wandering Archaic]] for ages

static gustBOT
#

Creature — Avatar
Whenever an opponent casts an instant or sorcery spell, they may pay mana2. If they don't, you may copy that spell. You may choose new targets for the copy.
"Fly the path of nine birds."
4/4

Explore the Vastlands mana3
Sorcery
Each player looks at the top five cards of their library and may reveal a land card and/or an instant or sorcery card from among them. Each player puts the cards they revealed this way into their hand and the rest on the bottom of their library in a random order. Each player gains 3 life.

junior meteor
#

and I've tested out Pyrohemia before and really liked it, it might end up back in the deck

#

another funny card I know Godo decks are running sometimes is [[Pit Automaton]] since it runs double duty there, it doesn't really do that here but it seems fine anyway?

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

Another card I wanted to try is [[Planebound Accomplice]] and stuff like [[Chandra Awakened Inferno]]

static gustBOT
#

Legendary Planeswalker — Chandra
This spell can't be countered.
+2: Each opponent gets an emblem with "At the beginning of your upkeep, this emblem deals 1 damage to you."
−3: Chandra deals 3 damage to each non-Elemental creature.
−X: Chandra deals X damage to target creature or planeswalker. If a permanent dealt damage this way would die this turn, exile it instead.
Loyalty: 6

junior meteor
#

or actually maybe [[chandra flameshaper]]

static gustBOT
#

Legendary Planeswalker — Chandra
+2: Add manarmanarmanar. Exile the top three cards of your library. Choose one. You may play that card this turn.
+1: Create a token that's a copy of target creature you control, except it has haste and "At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice this token."
−4: Chandra deals 8 damage divided as you choose among any number of target creatures and/or planeswalkers.
Loyalty: 6

junior meteor
#

scrap that, that actually just doesn't even sound good upon looking at it again

thorny plinth
#

No, I really don't think that chandra is great overall for this

junior meteor
#

i don't think planebound as an idea is very good here

#

i've just never gotten to use it and i thought "hey maybe" but actually no

thorny plinth
#

The cEDH decks I've been seeing using that chandra don't use planebound. They're just super ramp (read Etali)

junior meteor
#

yeah

#

[[strength-testing hammer]] is something godo runs apparently now

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

frequently my 5/5 is highest power no matter what the roll

#

but they're also on magnetic theft and stuff

thorny plinth
#

I have that in my box of "cards to keep track of" that I keep looking at recently

junior meteor
#

[[Veilstone Amulet]] is another one that's seeing play

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

which is such a funny card

#

this is very specifically not hexproof lmao

thorny plinth
#

I have a galaxy foil of the one

junior meteor
#

this is "you get an effect that gives this to any creature that is in play under your control this turn"

#

which means you can cast jaws and he can't be removed that turn

thorny plinth
#

Yep

#

It's the [[shielding plax]] text

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

well, this applies to anything you control at all, even if it comes in after the effect resolves

#

because it's an effect on you

thorny plinth
#

Yes, I mean that it's the not hexproof

junior meteor
#

👀

#

oh, yeah

#

sec driving home

junior meteor
#

WAIT @thorny plinth I WAS LOOKING AT JAWS LISTS

#

AND I FOUND SOMEONE RUNNING HERO'S BLADE

#

VINDICATION

lucid loom
#

[[hero's blade]]

static gustBOT
thorny plinth
#

I never said anything against hero's blade

junior meteor
#

i know

#

but i was discussing it

#

i just pinged the wrong person my brain is bad

junior meteor
#

Other cards I've looked at that were interesting from other monored decks:

  • Hero's Blade
  • Gogo, Mysterious Mime
  • Infernal Plunge
  • Molten Duplication
  • Molten Psyche
  • The Rollercrusher Ride
  • Stranglehold
  • The Aetherspark
  • Magebane Lizard
  • Beamtown Beatstick
  • Scytheclaw Raptor
  • Rampaging Ferocidon
  • Witch's Mark
  • Unleash Fury/Bulk Up
  • Throne of Eldraine
  • Pyrohemia
  • Reverberate
  • Irencrag Feat
  • Anje's Ravager
  • Wandering Archaic
  • Chain Reaction
  • Reckless Endeavor (I might give this a second shot)
  • Ghostfire Slice
  • Cursed Mirror
  • Claim the Firstborn (I might look at options that let me steal artifacts, too, actually)
  • Strength-Testing Hammer
  • Veilstone Amulet
  • Treasure Nabber
  • Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar
  • Jeweled Amulet (can't believe I forgot it again)
  • Disruptor Flute
  • Sword of Wealth and Power
  • Scorching Shot
  • Volcanic Fallout
  • Powerbalance
  • Lizard Blades
  • Currency Converter
#

big list

#

[[Momo's Heist]] is very funny

static gustBOT
icy lodge
#

I like [[reverberate]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

Yeah, I'm considering it in a slot over one of my redirects

icy lodge
#

The blue version [[twincast]] won me a game recently

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

redirects are nice, but Reverb has more utility for me

#

and can be used as a counterspell as well

icy lodge
#

And it’s always funny to use it in response to a board wipe intended to draw cards for someone

junior meteor
#

it honestly might go in over [[tibalt's trickery]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

i almost 100% of the time use this to counter counterspells

icy lodge
#

At that point just use reverberate so they don’t get free value

junior meteor
#

and reverb can counter a fierce or whatever

#

i think the only highly-played counterspell it can't hit in format rn is annul?

#

i get got by annul really hard anyway

#

[[Annul]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
icy lodge
#

Oof

junior meteor
#

it's fucking rough, i cast my tentacles, they annul me

#

i cry

#

i think i am gonna try out a build with tentacles and hero's blade but no tarrian's and no ooze

#

and try swapping ooze for something else

icy lodge
#

Cards that let you steal artifacts could be a good idea

junior meteor
#

yeah i was thinking Momo's Heist might be a good shout

#

it guarantees they never get it back, too

icy lodge
#

Also [[mycrosynth lattice]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

i think this makes my life worse actually

#

turns meltdown into MLD

icy lodge
#

Fair

junior meteor
#

and also creatures don't ever trigger jaws

icy lodge
#

Oh right

#

I keep forgetting that

junior meteor
#

yeah it's really important that they don't, it's why i don't just make a bunch of 1/1 servos

icy lodge
#

Doesn’t help that the card is near illegible lol

junior meteor
#

I think I 1:1 swap The Ooze for Agatha's Soul Cauldron

icy lodge
#

Do you run [[visions of ruin]]?

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

I don't, currently, it's very expensive

#

front side is 4 mana backside is 5 and i have to be hitting 3 things to make it worthwhile

#

i'd rather be on [[Seize the Spotlight]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

my removal for my opponents' artifacts is pretty limited to Engineered Explosives and Meltdown currently

#

and targeted I have Untimely Malfunction as well

icy lodge
#

[[Echoing Ruin]] after making a bunch of blood tokens sounds hysterical

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

I was on that, but being sorcery and 2 mana was pretty rough

#

it's gotta be one or the other i think

#

i do have a bunch of ways to sac blood

#

Slobad, Dargo, KCI

#

Crime Novelist

#

there's one more my brain can't remember

#

Arcbound Ravager

#

and then of course Meltdown, Engineered Explosives, and in the past I've also run Brotherhood's End

#

although I'm off of it right now because I don't wanna blow up my equips

icy lodge
#

[[Anzrag’s rampage]]?

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

If Anzag's broke my own artifacts I'd be into it

#

As it stands though I actually don't play anything big enough to justify this + a sac outlet

junior meteor
#

It sounds weird to be like "this blows up my important stuff" and "this doesn't blow up my stuff" back to back

#

But it is important that if I am blowing up artifacts, I am blowing up my blood tokens

thorny plinth
#

It can hit your own and make token copies that then also get sacrificed later.

junior meteor
#

What is RST again I'm so sorry

#

My ability to abbreviate is nonexistent

thorny plinth
#

[[red sun's twilight]]

static gustBOT
thorny plinth
#

I don't think it works with Jaws but the destroy, along with the ability to destroy my own things, made me consider it.

junior meteor
#

Oh right

thorny plinth
#

I am still trying [[devastating onslaught]] though it's a different thing entirely

static gustBOT
thorny plinth
#

Since each artifact sacrificed to KCI increments x up.

junior meteor
#

yeah, i think if i were on more things worth copying i'd be higher on it

thorny plinth
#

I've honestly just copied tokens with it and it has worked. I don't know that it's entirely game changing but it will finish games. It's like an x burn spell

junior meteor
#

Other things I'm looking at, to add to the giant list:

  • Artist's Talent (all 3 modes are pretty good, but I'm unsure as a whole it is worth the cost)
  • Cool But Rude (hoo boy)
#

I think if I were on an x burn spell, I'd probably be on [[Kaervec's Torch]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

I think I like torch a lot

#

other ones feel a little weird to me

thorny plinth
#

As a fan of both of those talents, I think cool but rude is better generally for Jaws

junior meteor
#

im mostly interested in CBR at level 2

#

if that makes sense

#

it's 1 more mana than [[Mechanized Warfare]] but actually it's easier to cast

static gustBOT
thorny plinth
junior meteor
#

and an amount of the time it'll be better

#

yeah

#

that's my thing

#

I also wanna look at [[Iroh's Demonstration]] again

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

which looks much nicer with mechanized warfare in play

#

2 mana volcanic fallout or deal 5 to a creature

#

the concern with running any removal spell that deals 5 is the ability for it to get swatted onto jaws

junior meteor
#

Here's a question @thorny plinth -- Mechanized Warfare, Fated Firepower, The Rollercrusher Ride, Torture Pit, Collective Inferno, Furnace of Rath, or Quest for Pure Flame

thorny plinth
#

Of those? Firepower

#

[[fated firepower]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

So here's my thing with Fated Firepower, I kinda hate that it's 5 mana to be any better than Mechanized at 3

thorny plinth
#

Doesn't specify combat vs noncombat, only is towards damage on opponents and their permanents

#

I honestly use [[ojer axonil]]

static gustBOT
#

Legendary Creature — God
Trample
If a red source you control would deal an amount of noncombat damage less than Ojer Axonil's power to an opponent, that source deals damage equal to Ojer Axonil's power instead.
When Ojer Axonil dies, return it to the battlefield tapped and transformed under its owner's control.
4/4

Temple of Power
Land
(Transforms from Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might.)
manat: Add manar.
mana2manar, manat: Transform this land. Activate only if red sources you controlled dealt 4 or more noncombat damage this turn and only as a sorcery.
Chimil gave the Oltec passion. Ojer Axonil challenged them to harness it.

junior meteor
#

[[Mechanized Warfare]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

and this includes stuff like Pyrite Spellbomb

thorny plinth
#

Yes

junior meteor
#

i can't think of any other things that proc it as artifacts that i care about

#

maybe sofi if i'm coping extra hard

thorny plinth
#

If you're using spellbomb and care about its damage then the warfare is good

junior meteor
#

but also i dont think i am ever on sofi now that wealth and power is out

#

another weird thing i think might matter is if you're on a build with Loyal Apprentice

thorny plinth
#

I liked that I could also buff Ojer to scale the damage (like if it has tarian's attached) and if it dies it becomes a land

junior meteor
#

I think Ojer's cool, but I like creature sources of this effect less than noncreature ones

#

i kinda wish this effect was on an artifact

thorny plinth
#

Yes, it was about scaling from 1->4 instead of 1->2

junior meteor
#

yeah

thorny plinth
#

I would use warfare just because it's cheapest

junior meteor
#

[[Torture Pit]]

static gustBOT
#

Enchantment — Room
When you unlock this door, create three 1/1 red Devil creature tokens with "When this token dies, it deals 1 damage to any target."
(You may cast either half. That door unlocks on the battlefield. As a sorcery, you may pay the mana cost of a locked door to unlock it.)

Torture Pit mana3manar
Enchantment — Room
If a source you control would deal noncombat damage to an opponent, it deals that much damage plus 2 instead.
(You may cast either half. That door unlocks on the battlefield. As a sorcery, you may pay the mana cost of a locked door to unlock it.)

thorny plinth
#

And it's both types of damage

junior meteor
#

this is 4 mana for a +2 but only hits noncombat

#

and i never ever in my entire life pay 4 mana for the other side

#

i would have to be in a really bad spot

#

yeah

thorny plinth
#

I'd end up using [[ticket booth]] knowing me

static gustBOT
#

Enchantment — Room
When you unlock this door, manifest dread.
(You may cast either half. That door unlocks on the battlefield. As a sorcery, you may pay the mana cost of a locked door to unlock it.)

Tunnel of Hate mana4manarmanar
Enchantment — Room
Whenever you attack, target attacking creature gains double strike until end of turn.
(You may cast either half. That door unlocks on the battlefield. As a sorcery, you may pay the mana cost of a locked door to unlock it.)

junior meteor
#

i almost like tunnel of hate but 6 mana is so much here

thorny plinth
#

That would be the side, yes

junior meteor
#

i think if it was 5 i probably play it

#

the 3 mana half is a draw spell though

#

which is like, not nothing

#

similarly, artist's talent is being considered because it is theoretically a damage multiplier

#

but it is simply so much total mana

#

[[Artist's Talent]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

and it only does noncombat

thorny plinth
#

Yes, I also don't know how much it's helping you, in terms of math for the level 2, which is the most important

#

Basically for all talents, the important one to judge it by is the second level

junior meteor
#

the discount is actually really helpful, the builds i've been on are on a lot of mana1manar or mana2manar spells

#

ruby medallion is so incredibly solid

#

so like, is second ruby medallion worth it at over double the cost if it also draws spells

#

that's really it

#

5 mana is right where i consider acceptable

#

but i think im still on mechanized over it

thorny plinth
#

I'd look at that vs [[fire crystal]]

static gustBOT
thorny plinth
#

Which is 1 less than the price with the upgrade

junior meteor
#

yeah, i get nothing out of the entire rest of the card

#

but it is cheaper

#

which is not nothing

thorny plinth
#

I'm just talking about as point of comparison, not as suggestion

junior meteor
#

i know a few jaws lists were on fire crystal because they were on the weird goblin gaea's cradle rabblemaster guy

thorny plinth
#

nod

junior meteor
#

[[howlsquad heavy]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

this one

#

which i think if you're on fire crystal this card's nutso

thorny plinth
#

I'm not running crystal because it's in my Saheeli list and Id idn't want it to be too similar

junior meteor
#

yeah fair

#

i think if i were on the goblin recruiter build with howlsquad and stuff i might be on fire crystal

#

and that might be the right build to be on right now

#

i think it's really weird to consider that jaws might actually just be a really good "goblins" deck

#

where instead of playing goblins classically you play the goblins that are good for making the gameplan work

thorny plinth
#

Haven't you ever heard of a goblin shark?

junior meteor
#

yeah,

#

i dont like thinkin about em

#

they scare me a lil

#

but like i think it's very reasonable to be on like

thorny plinth
#

deleted because saw the scare message after the menu went away

junior meteor
#

its ok

#

goblin recruiter, slobad, skirk, zada, howlsquad, and krark clan shaman or something

#

as your entire goblin package

#

all independently good cards in the deck

#

but i do wonder if that encroaches a little bit on where Pashalik Mons wants to be

#

and if pash does that gameplan better

thorny plinth
#

The goblin engineers

junior meteor
#

oh yeah forgot welder and engineer

#

and uh

#

Daretti

thorny plinth
#

bombardiers

#

[[broadside bombardiers]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

bombardiers i think is just a card that should always be in jaws

#

i think it's just core to the deck

thorny plinth
#

It depends on the deck

#

But yeah, I think jaws as a goblin commander absolutely works and wouldn't be weird

junior meteor
#

hmm, maybe that'll be something for some other time for me

#

once i get this nailed down

#

but i do think it's really reasonable to be able to be like, i goblin recruiter and put slobad and a bunch of very powerful value goblins on top that also happen to just be good if you draw them individually

thorny plinth
#

Which slobad?

junior meteor
#

goblin tinkerer

#

i dont think iron goblin is very good in this deck at all

thorny plinth
#

There are just two of them

junior meteor
#

[[Slobad Goblin Tinkerer]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

is usually the one i talk about with this, since he's your repeatable sac outlet

thorny plinth
#

And v2 opens up like [[spine of ish]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

yeah, i just don't like his effect for the price, i don't think he's bad but he only works with actual artifacts from the deck

#

if he gave me like 1 mana for blowing up a blood i'd be down

#

honestly i'd play that effect, WOTC get on it, tap the creature and sac an artifact to give 1 red mana

thorny plinth
#

They gave us crime writer

#

That's almost as good

junior meteor
#

yeah, i just want second Crime Novelist pensivecowboy

#

Some other things I'm not super sold on

#

I've tried out Weapons Manufacturing and every time it has been in my hand it has felt mediocre

#

I know that it works really well with Jaws and with Broadside and with anything that sacs artifact tokens

#

but I might actually be off of it, I've never cast it and felt good about doing so

#

trimming out a skeleton i think these are the creatures that i am the most confident in being in the deck

#

i think there's no universe where any of these leave except maybe magmakin if i stop running wheels for some reason

#

these (minus maybe artillerist) are, by definition, what i would consider core to jaws

thorny plinth
#

Jaws cares enough about making tokens that I think those not triggering manufacturing is a significant issue

junior meteor
#

yeah that's what i mean

thorny plinth
#

And probably why it hasn't felt great

junior meteor
#

it makes tokens but also not that many of them

#

it'd be weirdly better to just like, have an enchant that says "at your upkeep make a clue" or whatever

thorny plinth
#

One card I'd almost wonder about for your list is [[arcbound reclaimer]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

i've been almost on reclaimer a few times, it's really good as extra protection for the equips

thorny plinth
#

Recruiter is to find: ragavan, zhao, novelist or jjj?

junior meteor
#

yep

#

or facebreaker

#

who is a 2/3 for some reason

thorny plinth
#

I keep forgetting that because of [[grim hireling]] being buffer

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

also it grabs weftstalker ardent

#

and magamkin artillerist

#

it actually just grabs all of those creatures except Dargo

thorny plinth
#

magmakin I think could still be replaced with cool but rude pretty happily

junior meteor
#

so i think imperial recruiter is really hard to justify not running if it tutors any creature in my deck minus dargo

#

i think you're probably right but i like magmakin, being a 1/4 makes it a weirdly fine menace target for jjj

#

doesnt do a ton of damage but it does actually take pretty significant investment to actually remove from play in combat

thorny plinth
#

I still love [[Ivora]] and she's generally played well before t7

static gustBOT
thorny plinth
#

After that her being smaller has been an issue but people just don't block her if Jaws is also there

junior meteor
#

tutorable from recruiter, i do have the small concern of her just being a 1/1 forever

#

until i wheel

#

because if im popping blood im trying to win that turn or the turn after usually

thorny plinth
#

Recruiter also finds knuckles

junior meteor
#

wait is knuckles a 2/4

thorny plinth
#

Yep

junior meteor
#

holy fuck why is knuckles so cracked

thorny plinth
#

Because he's awesome?

junior meteor
#

other weird thing recruiter can search is

#

[[fear of missing out]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

which i've been considering

thorny plinth
#

I love it in my list

junior meteor
#

even if i only get 1 extra combat ever

#

1 extra combat with jaws wins the game

#

a lot of the time

#

i've had situations where jaws is a 6/6 with doublestrike and 2 combats kills a player

thorny plinth
#

4 isn't impossible to get. Land, instant, sorcery, artifact at least

junior meteor
#

i am not on as much discard

#

i think if im on fomo i'm on fetches and thus on [[skittering precursor]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

artifact, land, and instant are pretty easy, the 4th thing isnt as easy but not impossible

#

and weirdly if im on the sac value build i might value [[aether revolt]] higher

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

actually, no, this card is just worse than torture room

thorny plinth
#

No

#

You want an energy deck for it

junior meteor
#

and torture room is worse than mechanized warfare

#

but i probably am on skittering precursor and fetches if im on fomo

#

and maybe even stuff like welding jar and goldhound

#

weird thing, the other creatures that are currently missing from my list are ALSO all tutorable by imperial recruiter

#

i accidentally cared a lot about being tutorable

#

this wasn't intentional, but Magda is a 2/1, Reckless Fireweaver is a 1/3, and Pinnacle Monk is a 2/2

#

i don't actually think magda or reckless fireweaver is core

#

fireweaver just feels so fucking bad every time i cast it, and magda is fine but it is worse than generous plunderer 9/10 times for me

#

because you have to swing it to get the treasure, you don't have it precombat to use to cast jaws

#

i'd almost prefer something like [[zookeeper mechan]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

or even actual factual [[fire diamond]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

but i think zookeeper is like, almost good enough, 7 mana is just too much for the +4/+0 pump but man does that just make jaws a 9/5

thorny plinth
#

I'm using Zookeeper

junior meteor
#

how do you feel about zookeeper and have you ever activated the ability

thorny plinth
#

I like: it's 3 toughness, it triggers the artifact etbs, it gets bigger if tezzeret untaps it

#

The one time I activated it was to put it on one of my secondary bruces

#

It being sorcery speed is rough

junior meteor
#

yeah

#

i don't think the other options for red mana dork are better though

thorny plinth
#

Exactly

junior meteor
#

Brazen Collector has the same problem as Magda, Sunset Strikemaster is just a worse ability outright, i might be into [[Vault Robber]] but ???

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

i dont run very many creatures

#

so vault robber actively will have no text

#

and then from there it's like, Fable of the Mirror Breaker

#

which i don't think is bad but it's 3 mana and again does not curve into jaws

#

because it has to be able to attack first

thorny plinth
#

Goblin dorks are the other viable option

#

The heavy, skirk prospector

#

But for those you want the goblin build

junior meteor
#

yeah

#

i think skirk is reasonable on its own though

#

it is just blood pet, after all

thorny plinth
#

Yep

#

[[last agni kai]] could be interesting

static gustBOT
thorny plinth
#

As a ritual

junior meteor
#

i've been on it, and it's great

#

highly suggest

thorny plinth
#

I'm using it in Neyith where most of the things are 6+ power

junior meteor
#

i think it should really just always be in jaws, even in a post-tarrian's landscape

#

2 mana make 4 mana is something that just happens a lot, for me

thorny plinth
#

If you have crime novelist you can keep any mana generated during combat

junior meteor
#

yep

#

that's really the big part: i can use slobad and crime novelist to sac a bunch of blood during combat to make mana and hold up interaction

#

it's so good i've considered running [[Ashling Flame Dancer]]

static gustBOT
#

Legendary Creature — Elemental Shaman
You don't lose unspent red mana as steps and phases end.
Magecraft — Whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell, discard a card, then draw a card. If this is the second time this ability has resolved this turn, Ashling deals 2 damage to each opponent and each creature they control. If it's the third time, add manarmanarmanarmanar.
4/4

junior meteor
#

even though i think this card isnt that good in the deck, the effect to keep my red mana is pretty valuable, and sometimes i do cast 3 spells in a turn

#

also i wanna make sure on this but doesn't any instant + flare of duplication make 4 red

#
  1. cast spell 1
  2. cast spell 2 (flare)
  3. flare resolves, copies spell 1 ?
thorny plinth
#

Thoughts on [[fire nation palace]] or [[fire nation turret]]?

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

i tried Fire Nation Palace and I did not like it

#

i dont think it's bad i just don't think it's great either

#

it would be better if [[blood]] didn't have this stupid line of text on it

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

WAIT IT DOESN'T

#

HMM

thorny plinth
#

What line of text

junior meteor
#

i thought these were sorcery only this entire time

thorny plinth
#

Did you think it had

#

GOD NO

#

those are maps

junior meteor
#

I THOUGHT IT HAD THE MUTAGEN/MAP LINE

#

THAT'S WHY I THOUGHT THEY WEREN'T REAL GAME OBJECTS

thorny plinth
#

omfg

#

I'm so sorry

junior meteor
#

holy fuck

#

wait i can actually just hold up mana to draw cards now

thorny plinth
#

Yes

junior meteor
#

hmmmmmm

#

i still don't think im on fire nation palace

thorny plinth
#

Can you understand why I love blood now?

junior meteor
#

but i might be on turret theoretically

#

or even, stupidly enough

#

[[firebending student]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

???

#

is this anything

thorny plinth
#

I don't think so personally

#

It's not a storm deck

junior meteor
#

im not really storming but i am frequently casting rituals

#

there was another firebending card i liked

#

one moment

#

it's not in these colors

#

im ruined

thorny plinth
#

[[saheeli's directive]] or [[inspiring statuary]] are cards I keep thinking about

static gustBOT
#

Sorcery
Improvise (Each artifact you tap after you're done activating mana abilities pays for mana1.)
Reveal the top X cards of your library. You may put any number of artifact cards with mana value X or less from among them onto the battlefield. Then put all cards revealed this way that weren't put onto the battlefield into your graveyard.

junior meteor
#

i forgot fire nation occupation was black

#

i hate it here

thorny plinth
#

But I'm not convinced on either

junior meteor
#

[[fire nation occupation]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

i do think [[firebender ascension]] could be reasonable

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

but i gotta look at how many attack triggers im on

thorny plinth
#

I would suspect not enough

#

JJJ is your main one

junior meteor
#

so im on curse of opulence, jjj, and knuckles

#

wait, no, knuckles is damage

thorny plinth
#

But a lot of those aren't on the creature

junior meteor
#

CRINGE

#

man that sucks so much SCGbigsad

thorny plinth
#

JJJ cares about creatures with menace attacking so he'd only double trigger for himself

junior meteor
#

oh, im on [[generous plunderer|big|41]]

static gustBOT
thorny plinth
#

That's only one creature

junior meteor
#

which is totally not worth it

#

unfortunate

thorny plinth
#

Boast is the attack trigger but not the sac ability

#

And is only 1x per turn (w/o birgi)

junior meteor
#

yeah

#

and facebreaker is also only on damage

#

birgi isnt in the list anymore but i've unironically considered putting her back in just for double boast activations on broadside

#

it is a really powerful thing to be able to double pop something

#

hmm, well that was a dead-end

#

I was listening to some podcasts with people playing monocolor cEDH and something a lot of them said is just "it doesn't matter if a card is good if it doesn't work with your deck, you cannot just run good cards in monocolor, you need to rely on the synergy because your card quality is going to be low comparatively"

#

and so im re-evaluating a lot of things i thought were great recently, like i still think Guild Artisan is good but it's probably not very good in Jaws

#

because with Jaws you just need to get in and sometimes that's not possible against the highest life opponent, it is more important that you get in at all than get 2 treasures, so why play something you can't reliably trigger

thorny plinth
#

Yeah, I agree with that. Backgrounds should be in your CZ for anything you want to be more competitive

#

Monocolor decks don't have 2 card combos, like say dimir does, that can be included that aren't directly connected to the commander

#

I guess [[paradigm shift]] + thoracle, but that's borderline

static gustBOT
thorny plinth
#

And I think the one example I can think of

junior meteor
#

Well I mean there's Dualcaster Twinflame

#

I'm not on that as long as this stays b3

#

Oh, the other night when @lucid loom joined us for a game, I repeatedly was joking that [[Stranglehold]] would be a beating and I'm think it is less and less a joke

static gustBOT
lucid loom
junior meteor
#

Not just that, look what I consistently play against lmao

#

Might be bad against merfolk but still

#

i do play against TJ on Omnath like, regularly

#

it is his main deck

#

i dont really like random specific stax pieces but Stranglehold is super interesting to me because even if someone steals or clones it, i don't do those things anyway

lucid loom
junior meteor
#

yeah, as you noticed the games with that group skew a little faster

lucid loom
#

That’s okay

#

The mismatch was on my end and that’s okay

junior meteor
#

@thorny plinth do you think [[Blast-Furnace Hellkite]] is worth testing

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

i know slicer players have been on it for a while and jaws isnt that much different deck-construction-wise than slicer

#

might need to figure out artifacts a bit differently for that to work though

thorny plinth
#

I'm the wrong person because I have never liked that dragon

junior meteor
#

me neither but im looking at it

#

im also looking at [[impact resonance]], another card slicer plays sometimes

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

yeah

lucid loom
#

what can you feed to it?

junior meteor
#

uhhhh the ring

lucid loom
#

I think its good, but for this deck?

junior meteor
#

i think literally just the ring

lucid loom
#

then no

#

its not for this deck

junior meteor
#

oh and twinshot archer

lucid loom
#

2/99 hits?

junior meteor
#

i dont even know if im staying on twinshot

#

well i mean i can feed a blood token, but 9 mana is a pipe dream

lucid loom
#

yeah you're not doing that

junior meteor
#

yeah

#

impact resonance might be too cute

#

but also it's 2 mana pyrokinesis

#

actually wait, i need to ask something in rules

lucid loom
#

okay

#

meet ya there

junior meteor
#

yeah, so 2 mana pyrokinesis

lucid loom
#

still pretty solid

junior meteor
lucid loom
#

oh boy Satya!

junior meteor
#

yeah #commander was talkin about em so i wanted to repost my most recent list

#

i do still think, fwiw, [[raph & leo]] > fomo in this

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

but i like the draw engine and i like the theoretical possibility of getting infinite combats

junior meteor
#

Here's a thing for Jaws that I really like actually

#

I was looking at a list that's getting regular updates, built for fringe cEDH, and they're running [[Glaring Fleshraker]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

now, im aware it's for the kci combo as a killcon

#

but i think if i'm running enough artifacts it's probably just actually a good card?

#

the problem is trying to find a way to get that colorless symbol

#

i think there's a real consideration that top + fleshraker is worth playing if i can find a way to up my colorless mana count

#

but their list is on Helm of Awakening -> Top -> Fleshraker -> Mystic Forge

#

which is interesting if nothing else

#

other things that list was on that i'm really interested in are [[kediss emberclaw]] and [[razorkin needlehead]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

i think razorkin goes much less hard in b3 but kediss is maybe worth giving a try

#

they are very notably not on the JJJ package but i think it's probably just that it's too slow for cEDH

#

they are on mechanized warfare, and the two i'm looking at are the only ones actually on it instead of whatever the fuck the flash x-spell one is

#

these are the main two i'm looking at

#

the first one is the glaring fleshraker list, the other one is much more focused on using jaws to burn

#

Both of them are on Inti, which is just a card I haven't personally enjoyed in the past but might give another try

#

Also, both are on Grim Monolith even though only one of them actually has a way to abuse it

#

I might try out [[Basalt Monolith]] actually, I'm unsure

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

just a value basalt seems medium but also it's a really good way to go from 3->6

#

or maybe i go down a GC for [[Grim Monolith]], I don't think that's correct but maybe

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

honestly a little fucking annoying that [[coldsteel heart]] only taps for colored mana

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

otherwise i would play this

#

it could be [[solar transformer]], feels wrong but it does tap for red 3 times

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

which is way more than i really need

junior meteor
#

Okay, minor update

#

I'm running Inti and Monument to Endurance now, as well as Myocsynth Wellspring, Hero's Blade, and Dragonfire Blade

#

I went down a little bit of stack interaction (most notably pyroblast is back to being gone) and swapped Skred for Ghostfire Slice

#

Also we put Goblin Engineer in. I don't know how much I will enjoy that. Glaring Fleshraker is in, and to support it we put in Volatile Fault.

#

If it's too hard, I might go down 2 snow mountains for a copy of prismatic vista and a snow wastes

#

(I am currently still on snow lands because of arcum's astrolabe, even though i dropped skred)

#

I also wanna try out Dead//Gone at some point.

#

Oh, and Tarrian's Soulcleaver has finally left the deck. I love that card but it's just not where Jaws wants to be, I think.

#

reminder to self to also put Ramunap Ruins in the to-test list

#

not because im ever gonna sac it to deal 2 but in case the colorless requirement for fleshraker is too inconsistent

thorny plinth
#

Pell, I do want to say on Inti, I think a lot of people are on it in jaws because it's an alternative engine if Jaws is offline and can slowly grow things. I don't know that it means that everyone who's playing Jaws needs to be playing it

junior meteor
#

i mean im gonna give it a shot

#

clearly if everyone's on it it should get some time

junior meteor
#

FUCK I WANTED TO TRY OUT THRONE OF ELDRAINE

#

aaAAA

#

also, [[rockface village]] is another red/colorless land

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

i dont think i can run this legally

#

i do not run that many creatures

lucid loom
lucid loom
junior meteor
#

the nice thing is i still have most of my satya proxies as well as the ones for captain howler, so i don't have to proxy a lot

#

just the remainder of jaws, the updates for satya, and whatever for whatever 3rd deck i end up putting together irl

building out my cEDH ob list to add to the order and the guy with the most recent and consistent ob success is not on [[razorkin needlehead]] or [[casey jones back alley brute]]

#

and i can't really know entirely why because he's got a primer but it's very out of date

junior meteor
#

oh, funny enough, Mente's working on the primer tonight maybe

junior meteor
#

So the site I use to make my shit has me at 274 cards after both the Satya upgrades, Jaws, and an entire obnix cEDH deck. They charge the same for 240 cards as 395. I need to find a 3rd deck to use those extra 120 cards.

#

might be jyoti

#

might be marchesa but i really need to tune that deck

I accidentally clicked on the VOD of the tournament match I watched where 2 players handed a game to blue farm rather than feed Vivi even a single card and listened to this Vivi talk about how he's playing an interaction-heavy midrange build with [[Thunderclap]] and Cave-In. I have never seen this card before in my fucking life

#

huh. neither have I!

junior meteor
#

0 mana deal 3 damage is actually really interesting for me

#

i don't value lightning bolt super high, it misses 4 toughness creatures, but 0 mana lightning bolt is pretty hot

#

[[cave-in]] i have seen though

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

and i've considered playing this

#

-2 cards to pyroclasm the board for free is like, not bad

#

i dont think it's ever better than Engineered Explosives but it might beat out Soul Immolation now that I'm not on Tarrian's Soulcleaver

junior meteor
#

I've also only just realized that I, personally, do not own any blood tokens. Need to find some pretty ones.

thorny plinth
#

Those are your options for official ones

tawny zephyr
#

I like the VOW one

junior meteor
#

man there's really only been 3 huh

#

well, i don't love the chum bucket

#

i might just get a custom one done with like, red vector shapes resembling a shark's jaws on a black background

#

or something idk

dapper mortar
junior meteor
#

what does it look like

#

👀

#

because i didnt even know that existed

dapper mortar
#

Yeah, I made some minimalist filigree designs with Commander Staple advert stuff on the back to MagicCon to hand out

#

I am gonna order some more and would love for you to have a set or two

junior meteor
#

hell yeah

dapper mortar
#

Here was the original announcement

junior meteor
#

those look really nice

dapper mortar
#

I had to relearn GiMP all over again for these but yeah I was real proud of them

#

The foils are fucking ✨ stunning

junior meteor
#

very rainbowy

dapper mortar
#

I'm 100% just gonna get a bunch of foils this time round tbh.

junior meteor
dapper mortar
#

anyway yeah, if you want I can see about getting some to you

junior meteor
#

but yeah if you want to get a set or two to me i would really appreciate that

#

and you know im gonna get use out of the blood one at very minimum lmao

dapper mortar
#

You got it! I'm actually probably gonna look into ordering them here directly

junior meteor
#

woo catyay

#

i still wanna get the deckbox for jaws

#

there's someone on etsy that makes deckboxes that look like VHS tapes

#

and i think that's very cute for specifically Jaws

dapper mortar
junior meteor
#

no

#

i havent seen iron lung either idek what that is

#

pensivecowboy not a big movie pell

dapper mortar
#

It's so cool, I imagine it wouldn't be hard to scale down and turn into a deckbox with someone who's a wizard at blender

#

It's Markiplier's movie he released recently

#

one sec

junior meteor
#

oh

dapper mortar
junior meteor
#

good for him actually

dapper mortar
#

I watched it in theaters and it was real good

#

Anyway that's the bucket

junior meteor
#

he always seemed like one of the few youtubers that could make it in other industries and i mean that in a way that is less mean than it sounds

dapper mortar
#

He released the STL file free online so you could print it yourself though

dapper mortar
junior meteor
#

that bucket is crazy what the hell

dapper mortar
#

Especially in his ability to say he doesn't know something

junior meteor
#

yeah that's what i mean

#

a lot of youtubers will not learn, they will not admit they don't have expertise, they will not improve

#

and i really respect him for being someone that isn't like that

dapper mortar
#

He does it for the love of the game and you can really see that

#

And he gets to brag now because his movie was the #1 grossing movie for like three or four days straight the weekend it came out

#

For a movie that costed $3 mil he made magnitudes more money from it than he spent

junior meteor
#

I think Monument to Endurance is actually just correct, I can't believe I wasn't on this

#

i can draw 3 cards on 1 mana every turn with blood tokens

#

pay 1, sac a blood discard a thing, make a treasure, draw 1
pay the treasure, sac a blood, discard a thing, draw 1 draw 1

#

it might even be worth running reckless handling just to have more ways to get it

#

if only there were more ways to tutor it in red

#

so both Monument to Endurance and KCI are effectively card draw engines in this deck, which is a weird thing to say

#

i guess also Crime Novelist

#

and both Crime Novelist and KCI are also rituals

tawny zephyr

#

That one seems likely to kill me, but I like where you're at actually

#

[[Indomitable Creativity]] could be a legitimate option

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

i hadnt even considered these

#

or, actually, more likely [[Reality Scramble]] ?

static gustBOT
#

Sorcery
Put target permanent you own on the bottom of your library. Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a card that shares a card type with that permanent. Put that card onto the battlefield and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
Retrace (You may cast this card from your graveyard by discarding a land card in addition to paying its other costs.)

tawny zephyr
lucid loom
#

I too love polymorph

junior meteor
#

reality scramble on a blood works right?

#

it would tutor an artifact to board?

tawny zephyr
tawny zephyr
junior meteor
#

is [[smelting vat]] crazy

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

i kinda like this

#

oh wait, this doesnt work

tawny zephyr
#

Hm. it does care about the mana value of the sacrificed thing, so nonbo with tokens

#

unfort

junior meteor
#

unfortunate, i thought that was kinda cool

#

[[Saheeli's Directive]] is kinda interesting

static gustBOT
#

Sorcery
Improvise (Each artifact you tap after you're done activating mana abilities pays for mana1.)
Reveal the top X cards of your library. You may put any number of artifact cards with mana value X or less from among them onto the battlefield. Then put all cards revealed this way that weren't put onto the battlefield into your graveyard.

junior meteor
#

i just improvise all my blood tokens for a turn?

#

5 is how many you make on jaws

#

and 5 is more than every artifact in my deck

#

my most expensive artifact, currently, is [[throne of eldraine]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

which has goldfished EXTREMELY well

#

i was not impressed by this card and thought "there's no way im actually ever using 2nd mode" but actually

#

this card says draw 2 cards on it

#

for manarmanarmanar

#

that's not just above rate, that's so far above rate it's not even funny

#

you'll laugh but i actually grabbed that tech from Godo players I think

#

lmao

#

one really interesting thing about monument that i think i didnt really consider is that it is an engineer target

#

usually im engineering like, moonsilver key

#

so that i can use that over and over again to get KCI and mana rocks

#

but monument when i have the mana and no cards is VERY reasonable

junior meteor
#

it has retrace and this deck doesn't need that many lands to play

junior meteor
#

and also

#

retrace = discard

#

= monument trigger/inti trigger

#

kinda almost too perfect

tawny zephyr
#

yup

#

retrace very good

#

shame we didn't see it in LCI

junior meteor
#

yeah

#

i do wish i had a moonsilver target that drew cards other than throne

#

but that's a lot of wishful thinking lmao

#

technically chromatic star draws 1

#

Another thing to look into is that this deck generates a lot of mana but has nothing to use it on

#

once kci or crime novelist is out, there are a lot of very large rituals

#

and if both are out forget about it

#

1 shark hit with both out is 15 mana

#

Another weird option is because Crime Novelist is technically card draw, I could run a goblin tutor for it

#

I already run Imperial Recruiter, and it's the only goblin in my deck rn

#

wait, that's not even true

#

Slobad and Hedron Detonator are both goblins too

#

... and goblin engineer

#

not sure how i missed that one

#

maybe it's a [[Goblin Recruiter]] angle

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

im gonna test this tonight

lucid loom
#

noted

#

(I will forget don't worry about it)

junior meteor
#

i also might swap [[mycosynth wellspring]] out for [[ichor wellspring]]

static gustBOT
junior meteor
#

i like the land tutor a lot but also i like draw card

lucid loom
#

the hell you doing?? GET THAT IN THERE!

#

(Im biased)

junior meteor
#

i don't

#

i have the other 2 wellsprings

#

prized statue and myco

#

but also i like draw card ThinkEgg

short flare
#

Im not sure i've never been on just myco without ichor

#

Get those numbers up

junior meteor
#

i might just drop a land for it

#

kinda worth

#

i am at 34 lands i am slipping from my principles

short flare
#

I value drawing a random card in my deck over a land in a KCI deck personally, it feels like if myco is worth playing ichor probably is too

junior meteor
#

i do need to actually hit land drops in this deck though

#

which is why myco was in

short flare
#

Did you see B's extremely responsible 44 with dorks in their thread for Eshki, very responsible

junior meteor
#

very responsible

#

a little too responsible

#

live a little

short flare
#

I said so

#

They had a valid reasoning, but I still think its too many

#

Regardless

junior meteor
#

im at 34 now

short flare
#

I think myco is worth playing to

#

Its more to highlight how both are probably worth the slot
