Even with changelings you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for impactful dinosaurs.I agree. Now is not the time to build Gishath, the best thing to do is wait till Rivals of Ixalan comes out, since it will add some more much needed Dino's.

bury the year Posted October 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 I just picked up a Spanish Angus MacKenzie. I need to build a more casual deck that's not just bant oops I win good stuff. What do? Enchantress with planeswalker finishers? Don't have any combos in the deck (or if you do, only make it Doubling Season + Jace, Cunning Castaway). Or are you looking for something more janky?

Poc Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 I was thinking enchantress with a light bit of stax. I want enchanted evening+aura thief as my main win. I'd do walkers but I got rid of my doubling seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 It only took 3 weeks, but I finally figured out the new cards I want for my many lists. Karador: Growing Rites of Itlimoc Animar: Growing Rites of Itlimoc, Tishana, Voice of Thunder Sedris: Fleet Swallower Rith: Growing Rites of of Itlimoc Freyalise: Growing Rites of Itlimoc Hanna: Thaumatic Compass, Search for Azcanta, Overflowing Insight Grenzo: Unclaimed Territory, Vanquisher’s Banner, Dowsing Dagger Iroas: Captain Lannery Storm, Dowsing Dagger Sliver Overlord: Growing Rites of Itlimoc, Unclaimed Territory Ezuri: Growing Rites of Itlimoc, Tishana, Voice of Thunder Gitrog: Growing Rites of Itlimoc, Thaumatic Compass Kozilek: Conqueror's Galleon, Dowsing Dagger Kemba: Dowsing Dagger Phenax: Fleet Swallower, Overflowing Insight Atraxa: Growing Rites of Itlimoc, Herald of Secret Streams, Vraska, Relic Seeker Wort: Growing Rites of Itlimoc, Primal Amulet Talrand: River’s Rebuke, Primal Amulet, Search for Azcanta Prossh: Growing Rites of Itlimoc, Unclaimed Territory Sharuum: No Change Sidisi: No Change Sigarda: No Change tl;dr I need a ton of Growing Rites of Itlimoc. I fear for the day when I own all the decks since full upgrades are going to be expensive. Though I don't think it will be that bad. Regardless, ON TO EDGAR!!!

Flame Dragon Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Surprised you don't have Herald of Secret Streams in there: he seems like a slam dunk for UG!Ezuri. I did consider him, but the deck doesn't go wide with counters in the way Atraxa does. My thought process was that between Craterhoof, Champion of Lambholt, and random evasive creatures in the deck already if I want to swing in with giant evasive creatures I already have ways to do that. I can be wrong in this matter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted October 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 I did consider him, but the deck doesn't go wide with counters in the way Atraxa does. My thought process was that between Craterhoof, Champion of Lambholt, and random evasive creatures in the deck already if I want to swing in with giant evasive creatures I already have ways to do that. I can be wrong in this matter though. Late response, but I'd still try him out. At minimum he's another experience counter with Ezuri, and you're not guaranteed to always be able to push creatures through. Anyhow, wanted to give a write-up on my current stable of decks. I have two complete in paper, one that's an online list that may make the jump into paper, and two other commanders that I'd like to build.Ephara, God of the Polis // list built in paperProbably the list I've had together the longest in paper now, and one of my favorites. It's a very control-heavy build that focuses on flickering creatures with ETB triggers while playing hatebears and prison/fort effects, all the while holding a full grip of cards in hand. Once the game gets to 1v1, my opponent usually can't stand against the myriad of outs I run to their threats, and I can peck them to death with a bunch of weenies.Edgar Markov // list built in paperPretty standard Markov list. Even though there's nothing fancy about it, I just really enjoy how Edgar plays: his eminence ability makes an aggro strategy actually viable.Grimgrin, Corpse-Born // list built onlineThe result of a White Elephant experiment. My assignment was to build Grimgrin as "counters tribal," not the standard zombie zerg rush. I thought this was going to be tricky, as missing green means we don't get as many of the counter tricks - surprisingly, though, the deck still works. While +1/+1 counters are the name of the game here, there are some fun things to do with -1/-1 and energy counters too. The primary wincon is to pump Grimgrin up to absurd heights, then swing with an angry zombie behemoth for lethal.Riku of Two Reflections // list is WIPIntending to make this a spellslinger build, so keeping a low number of creatures and piling up on powerful instants and sorceries. The "key card" is Primal Amulet: when it flips, I hope to tap and untap Primal Wellspring as much as possible to copy a haymaker and make it lethal.Samut, Voice of Dissent // list is WIPProbably just an "activated abilities matter" list? Not sure yet - this mainly came about from the remnants of my now-disassembled Saskia list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Heres a quick first draft of kind of a cheesy combo deck. The idea is to use Deceiver of forms + Biovisionary to win.

Poc Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 infinite reflection? i know it's not very tutorable but it wins with biovisionary out of nowhere usually. You never want to draw or play biovisionary. Thats why I'm considering putting scroll rack in because this deck needs more ways to get biovisionary back into the library. Plus always shuffling with Momir makes scroll rack ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bury the year Posted January 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 It's that time of year again: the time where I pester you all to post what cards you're adding from the newest set. This time, it's Rivals of Ixalan, which seems to have more good stuff than Ixalan did. More overtly-powerful tribal themes, and many more interesting rares. Hazezon:Huatli, Radiant Champion (trivially easy to ultimate, and her -1 can deal some serious damage)Path of Discovery (this before a Hazezon resolution is an absurd amount of card advantage)Wayward Swordtooth (Exploration strapped to an undercosted body)Ephara:Azor, the Lawbringer (ETB trigger is good, and his attack trigger refills my hand)Crafty Cutpurse (can be a blowout against token decks)Release to the Wind (saves a key permanent from a wipe, or rebuys a good ETB trigger)Edgar:Arch of Orazca (later game card advantage!)Bishop of Binding (unless otherwise stated, assume the reason is "generically good vampire")Champion of DuskDusk Legion ZealotElenda, the Dusk Rose (her + sac outlet = wrath insurance)Forerunner of the LegionLegion LieutenantMartyr of DuskRadiant Destiny (anthem effects are good, anthems that help enable ascend are even better)Skymarcher AspirantTwilight ProphetRiku:Brass's Bounty (lots of mana, and unlike Boundless Realms it doesn't cap out) Alesha:Dire Fleet Daredevil (steal key removal spells)Pirate's Pillage (looting and artifacts)Pitiless Plunderer (artifacts on death trigger) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radio414 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Not sure how much I can contribute, but I figured I'd pop in here. I've been playing since the Mirrodin Besieged prerelease, and my decks are: Nicol Bolas (Mono-Instants, or rather Mono Instant-Speed)Sasaya, Orochi Ascendant (Mono-Green Combo)The Unspeakable (Morphs and Arcane)Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder (An exercise in indulgence) And lastly The Big Idea, which isn't legal anymore (well, certain card choices made it not legal at any point), but it's still ninety-nine cards and a general, so... I do what I want? I haven't really thought about what Rivals could add. I didn't go to a prerelease because I was snowed in, so I guess I'll have to see what I get when drafts start firing.

Flame Dragon Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 The Big Idea might not be legal in stores, but you can still play it with your play group. I know I'm fine with the Unstable cards. Speaking, of Rivals, additions from Rivals for my various lists. I have a handful of other older cards I'm going to add, but the list is long enough with just Rivals. Karador (3) Path of Discovery World Shaper Journey to Eternity Animar (2) Timestream Navigator Wayward Swordtooth Sedris (2) Timestream Navigator Nezahal, Primal Tide Rith (2) Tendershoot Dryad Huatli, Radiant Champion Sharuum (0) Freyalise (1) Arch of Orazca Hanna (1) Kumena's Awakening Grenzo (2) Azor's Gateway The Immortal Sun Iroas (3) Tilonalli's Summoner Azor's Gateway Charging Tuskodon Sliver Overlord (2) Radiant Destiny Ezuri (1) Hadana's Climb Gitrog (2) Wayward Swordtooth World Shaper Kozilek (2) Azor’s Gateway Arch of Orazca Kemba (3) The Immortal Sun Azor's Gateway Arch of Orazca Sidisi (2) The Immortal Sun Arch of Orazca Phenax (2) Azor's Gateway Arch of Orazca Atraxa (1) Hadana's Climb Sigarda (1) Arch of Orazca Wort (4) Path of Discovery Azor's Gateway The Immortal Sun Arch of Orazca Talrand (3) Flood of Recollection The Immortal Sun Arch of Orazca Prossh (1) Journey to Eternity Edgar (8) Forerunner of the Legion The Immortal Sun Radiant Destiny Champion of Dusk Legion Lieutenant Oathsworn Vampire Twilight Prophet Elenda, the Dusk Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Long time no chat, y'all. Masters 25 is out, so I wanted to get some thoughts on what people are thinking of picking up, and how they feel about the set overall. Thoughts in aggregate:I give it a 6.5 out of 10? The good news is that there are a lot of strong common/uncommon reprints that were even only spoiled on the final day. Promise of Bunrei, StP, Arcane Denial, Brainstorm, Counterspell, Cursecatcher, Ravenous Chupacabra, Street Wraith, Unearth, Zulaport Cutthroat, Bolt, Ancient Stirrings, Arbor Elf, Cultivate, Fierce Empath, Nettle Sentinel, Presence of Gond, Rancor, Regrowth, Utopia Sprawl, Ash Barrens, and Myriad Landscape. That's a lot!The bad news is that about half of the rares and mythics seem really baffling. The Akromas, Tree of Redemption, Bident of Thassa... why? The lack of mechanics outside of morph and cycling feels bad, too. Even if we could also get devotion (if only so I could see Gary and Nykthos back in limited). The emphasis on "limited combos" may hurt the format, too, as it seems like it gets really easy to be blown out if your opponent is lucky.Now, cards I want!Ephara: Disenchant (new art!), Luminarch Ascension, Arcane Denial (new art!), Flash, Vendilion Clique.Edgar: Fetid Heath and Rugged Prairie, if only so I can have a full set of M15-border filters.Hazezon: Azusa, Myriad Landscape.To hold onto: Animar (may build Animorphs after this), Imperial Recruiter, Pernicious Deed, Armageddon, Living Death, Phyrexian Obliterator, and a playset of Promise of Bunrei for my jank spirit!storm casual deck.

bury the year Posted April 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Looking for 6 more cards to fill out the list. Thoughts? http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/elenda-the-greatest-sacrifice/?cb=1523727845 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 I'm surprised you don't have more anthem effects. Not only does Elenda get helped by them, but they work REALLY well with the tokens she makes. One that end Cathars' Crusade is likely the best you'll fine. Bloodline Keeper also works nicely with both the token theme as well as serving as a way to pump them. The Blackblade Reforged also does some work. Past that, Planeswalkers are always helpful. Sorin Lord of Innistrad and Solemn Visitor both fit. Elspeth Sun's Champion is also a personal favorite. I'd also recommend Greed as another source of card draw. In other news, new set soon. Anyway, I did my first round of pulling. Basically, I note any card I might be interested in for a deck and make note of it. This way when I do my full on Commander consideration I have a much shorter list of stuff to look through. For this round I have a lot of stuff, but it is mostly niche stuff. Danitha, Capashen Paragon Shalai, Voice of Plenty Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle Karn's Temporal Sundering Time of Ice Wizard's Retort Fina Parting Josu Vess, Ich Knight Phyrexian Scripture Whisper, Blood Liturgist Fight with Fire Jaya Ballard Jaya's Immolating Inferno Verix Bladewing Fungal Plots Grow from the Ashes Kamahl's Druidic Vow Marwyn, the Nurturer Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar Saproling Migration Song of Freyalise Spore Swarm Darigaaz Reincarnated Grand Warlord Radha Oath of Teferi Primeval's Glorious Rebirth Teferi, Hero of Dominaria Blackblade Reforged Gilded Lotus (I should be playing this in more decks then I am) Helm of the Host Mod Amber Cabal Stronghold Memorial to Folly Memorial to Genius Memorial to Glory Memorial to Unity Zhalfirin Void 37 over all which is a nice batch. Part of that is purely on the strength of the Memorial cycle though. Based on the first pass Wort has a lot of options. I'm a little angry at myself for not putting two and two together and realizing Jaya is perfect for that deck. I think my biggest issue with this batch if most of the cards are for decks I don't yet own. Suppose that isn't the worse thing though since it means less cards I'll need to buy. I posted this in the Dominaria thread. In thinking about it more Kamahl's Druidic Vow seems really bad. Like, Genesis Wave is a million times better at the post of 1 more mana. Think that is going to be axed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 So, I've started the next phase in figuring out stuff. From my initial list I decided Shalai, Voice of Plenty was too slow Kamahl's Druidic Vow being a worse Genesis Wave indeed made it bad enough to not play Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar is just a random giant creature and I hate those (the word made me think maybe Gitrog would want it) Mox Amber is worse than a 2 mana mana rock since it isn't early ramp Memorial to Glory is to low impact to be worth giving up a land. Also realized I had the perfect deck for Urza's Ruinous Blast. Final break down of cards I'm interested in per deck. Note, these might not make the cut, but I like figuring out what has promise. Almost noted a couple older cards I'm considering. Karador: Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle, Memorial to Unity Animar: Grand Warlord Radha, Gilded Lotus, Memorial to Genius, Memorial to Unity (+ Azusa, Lost but Seeking) Sedris: Final Parting, Whisper, Blood Liturgist, Gilded Lotus (+ Deadeye Navigator, Conjurer's Closest) Rith: Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle, Fungal Plots, Grand Warlord Radhad Sharuum: Final Parting (+ Cephalid Coliseum) Freyalise: Marwyn, the Nurturer, Memorial to Unity Hanna: Teferi, Hero of Dominaria, Memorial to Genius Grenzo: Memorial to Folly Iroas: Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle, Blackblade Reforged Sliver Overlord: Memorial to Unity Ezuri: Marwyn, the Nurturer, Memorial to Genius, Memorial to Unity Gitrog: Grow from the Ashes, Memorial to Folly, Memorial to Unity (+ Azusa, Lost but Seeking) Kozilek: Zhalfirin Void Kemba: Danitha Capashen, Paragon, Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle, Blackblade Reforged, Helm of the Host (+ Foundry Inspector) Sidisi, Josu Vers, Ich Knight, Cabal Stronghold, Memorial to Folly Phenax, Gilded Lotus, Memorial to Folly, Memorial to Genius Atraxa: Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle, Urza's Ruinous Blast, Karn's Temporal Sundering, Phyrexian Scriptures, Oath of Teferi, Primevals' Glorious Rebirth, Teferi, Hero of Dominaria Sigarda: Danitha Capashen, Paragon, Blackblade Reforged (+ Darksteel Plate) Wort: Fight with Fire, Jaya Ballard, Jaya's Immolating Inferno, Grow from the Ashes, Saproling Migration, Song of Freyalise, Spore Swarm, Grant Warlord Radha (+ Citanul Hierophants) Talrand: Wizard's Retort, Gilded Lotus, Memorial to Genius (+ Whir of Invention and Walk to Aeons) Prossh: Whisper, Blood Liturgist, Verix Bladewing, Darigaaz Reincarnated, Grand Warlord Radha, Memorial to Unity Edgar: Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle, Whisper, Blood Liturgist, Memorial to Folly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the least targeting restrictions of similar spells.Dauntless Bodyguard in Sigarda (old one, I assume)? A cheap way to protect her against boardwipes.Raff Capashen, Ship's Mage seems like he'd be really good in Hanna and Atraxa (assuming the latter is superfriends). He gives all of your artifacts and planeswalkers flash and has flash himself, meaning he's easier to catch opponents off-guard with than Orrery or Leyline. Plus, he's legendary himself, meaning all of the legendary sorceries you're playing in Atraxa will trigger off of him.Tatyova, Benthic Druid is absurdly powerful card draw, in my experience. She stops you from flooding out, which is always a thing to consider.Also, includes are finalized for Elenda. Well, for the most part: unsure about The Eldest Reborn, but pretty confident about the others.Gilded LotusIsolated ChapelPhyrexian ScripturesTeshar, Ancestor’s ApostleThe Eldest RebornUrza’s TomeWhisper, Blood Liturgist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She stops you from flooding out, which is always a thing to consider. I'm not a fan of the single mana tax cards (Archangel of Tithes is also a card, but not really playable in a 4 color deck). If I wanted to protect walkers I'd rather just stop attacking all together. It is an interesting card for Hanna which is a pillowfort build, but I'd rather the protection come in the form of enchantments. I'm not high on Cast Down because of my play group. Most commander games I play involves Karlov and removal that can't hit Karlov isn't worth it. I'd rather Go For the Throat or Dismember. Body Guard is cute in Sigarda, but I'm not a fan of the 1 time nature. The one shot protection I'm currently running is just Teferi's Protection. Raff is an interesting card, but I'd want to be doing more at instant speed, and Atraxa doesn't have a lot. If I wanted to operate at instant speed I'd pick up Layline. It would be more interesting in Hanna, but she focuses more on the enchantment recursion than artifact. IMO Tatyova is best in decks built around abusing landfall and none of my GU decks can really do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
