Happy photoday birthdyer!

Looking at making my current RDW deck work with some of the fantastic options provided by Journey into Nyx. The current "themes" are haste and a touch of devotion for fanatic of mogis. The peices all work together as I want them too, but the problem is that it's just not looking like it's ...

Are we limiting ourselves to red here? … Yes, I am limiting myself to red here. I am already going to be spending money on flamespeaker prophets and eidolons of the great revel, plus some random one ofs for commander and given I am mostly living on disability and a shitty part time minimum wage job...

So does that stupid lifegain sheep worry anyone else in standard? It stops most aggro creatures cold, while moving them out of burn range pretty quickly. My best guess on how to get around it is either [card]titan's strength[/card] or rubblebelt maaka , but that seems like a stopgap, unless satyr ho...

Does anyone else ever find themselves putting command tower in monocolor decks out of habit and not realizing until the end that it is contextually worse than a basic? No. I don't have many Command Tower cards, so they only end up in three color decks for me. I only own 3 (power hungry, mind seize,...

DarthStabber

I brought up low permanent count decks as a separate type of example, not to imply this deck was one in any way. I still think either venser's journal or reliquary tower is a good choice (though you may not need both) and I wasn't suggesting that this deck use price of knowledge, only that it was a ...

More options for untaps
[cards]Thousand year elixir
Jandor's saddlebags
Magewright stone[/cards]

Equip king macar with umbral mantle and paradise mantle , now for every mana you invest you kill something and give him +2/+2 (I know it costs 3 to activate umbral mantle but paradise mantle gives you 1, and the gold token gives you another reducing the effective cost to one). And you're in black so...

The only actually black tapper I can think of is rathi trapper , but they made kind of a deal over it being such a weird ability in black which leads to believe he might be the only one. Beyond that you can fill the void with artifacts. [cards]icy manipulator deserter's quarters Amber prison Springl...

DarthStabber

You could try king macar the gold cursed if you want to get silly.

DarthStabber

Jbt, it's always most recent set first.

DarthStabber

Scrubbed out of the prerelease. picked black and had a pretty solid BG aggro/constellation deck, had mana problems every game.

Weird, I started white, ended up in [mana]wbg[/mana] constellation and did really well with it.

DarthStabber

I don't have a very optimistic view of standard post rotation, I think its just going to be creature pile vs creature pile…

Why is that not optimistic? I kinda like formats like that.

DarthStabber

Dictate of the twin gods seems like it would be worse for you than most decks out there. I like furnace of wrath, but it was never even on the table for me. Even if you are playing fairly aggressively, anything more aggressive is going to shove that effect down your throat. If it were an instant or ...

DarthStabber

I'd drop the Spellbook and Venser's Journal. I don't like the Reliquary Tower either. Depending on your opponent and your deck hand limit removers can be powerful. This deck can draw a ton of cards, it has effects that are based on the number of cards in hand, and sometimes stops playing cards all ...

JunkConstellationNoRemoval.deck
Only running 3 non-enchantment creatures, golden hind, pharika's mender, and hero's bane. Loads of recursion and 2 [card]kruphix's insight[/card], and the rest is bestow and constellation. Surprisingly awesome for having no removal (okay I have an asphyxiate).

DarthStabber

And to those about to play the prerelease:
May your plains be flatter
Your islands wetter
Your swamps slimier
Your mountains rockier
And your forests woodier

Disregard FNM, acquire beer and weed. Weed AND beer? Not a good plan, but a lesson it is all stoner padawans must for themselves learn. And why would either on it's own preclude FNM? In my case it was: disregard FNM acquire poverty! Disregard condoms, acquire.....oh, shit Disergard ".....oh, s...

So is godsend a combination of "god" and "send" or a combination of "gods" and "end"?

DarthStabber

what about phyrexian reclamation as an additional option for cards? It's like greed on 'roids.

DarthStabber

Signed up (shop agreed to trade 3 rav remands and a foil rav remand for entry).. Playing white because: White pride nation wide motherfuckers!

DarthStabber

It's a power/resilience question, however given the amounts of mass removal typically flying around a commander game the frailty issue is unlikely to come up (my personal opinion is that outside of MUC, aggressive/pressure, and certain combo decks you should start with 10 mass removal spells, but th...

DarthStabber

Clearly I am misunderstanding how the deck is supposed to work then. I assumed chainer reanimator, but doc is talking a more aggressive variation. And if even if you are running 2-5 tutors that means little if they aren't in your hand when he gets tucked. I've seen it happen before, decks that have ...

DarthStabber

Something that just occurred to me, why do you want so much redundancy for your general? Chainer is powerful, always available, and does exactly what you need. I play tons of recursion in Ghost Council because I need that. On balance I get to play fewer sac outlets. Seems to me that you should do t...

DarthStabber

Be careful, best laid plans of mice and men and all. I've not seen chainer be anything but glass jawed, it has the potential to be insane, but you absolutely need to have a free sac outlet or you are begging to get your backside handed to you.

DarthStabber

Free advice. Aggressively trade for Prophetic Flamespeaker.

Heard that loud and clear, I was already going to go all in on it, but it's really nice to have someone who knows something to reinforce the point.

Removal is for gays, play your creatures and make them have it.

I do like having removal.

I kinda wish flash wasn't banned just so I could build a deck with it and worldspine wurm. Then I remember hulk flash and I chastise myself for ever wishing that.

DarthStabber

I've got a bad lim-dūl deck that I play with my scrubbier friends and I can say that he is a blast, even as part of the 99 ( ascendant evincar was the original commander followed by kuro, pitlord then chainer, and now it's Lim). It looks like you are intent on pushing the reanimate harder than my pi...

DarthStabber

If you find yourself building around a planeswalker's ultimate, you should probably just buy a t-shirt that says "Budgcaj" in Comic Sans. Control decks with Mindsculptor say :hi: Mindsculptor decks just need something after they have the game under control. Jace is in the deck on the meri...

DarthStabber

I wasn't huge on Dack until I realized just how good his -2 is in a format full of Stoneforge Mystic decks. I agree on that front, he's really good, it's just that his ultimate is either useless or requires contorting your spell choices in ways that seem stupid considering how rarely most 'walkers ...

DarthStabber

So looking at Mr. Fayden's ultimate, I am disappoint. It seems really good, until you realize 90+% of the spells you are likely to run in constructed that can target opponent's creatures will obviate his emblem. That being said the first 2 abilities are good enough on their own.

Happy thirstday redbirth!

DarthStabber

I've always enjoyed modern as a format despite considering it the worst overall of the big three… Limited says what's up, and wants you to know that booster draft alone is bigger than legacy and modern combined. Honestly the only formats I care about anymore are (in order of shits given): draft, co...

Happy spirit journey formation anniversary lorddax!

On the subject of Dresden, does anyone else have Liliana Vess as their mental image for Mab? And as of Cold Days she's my favorite character (replacing either Micheal Carpenter and Toot-Toot).

DarthStabber

Currently getting my nails did for Easter.

You know jesus once got nails did shortly before easter, didn't turn out too well for him.

DarthStabber

Is it wrong if I think Dack is kinda sexy?
