A Stensia Bloodhall? Come back when you're eating a Force of Will.

DocLawless

That's piercist.

I have been wanting to build a Damia deck. And BUG seems like a good combination. I'm not the world's strongest blue player. What are some staples I should look for here? Draw spells seem redundant if I'm drawing off Damia. A few counters could be nice, I suppose, but I have to take it easy with the...

DocLawless

Actually... going with black and green to get access to mana ramp is a way better idea than going with black and white to get access to more of what the deck already does. Maybe I should revisit Glissa. Also, can I get a mod to move this thread out of the multiplayer decklist subforum and into the g...

DocLawless

Yeah, pretty much.

DocLawless

Only because I physically cannot bring myself to look for Nickleback on Youtube.

DocLawless

That's actually exactly what I do have. I've been running a mono-black Chainer deck (part-time Xiahou Dun deck) with a recursion based shell to abuse ETB/LTB effects from things like Kokusho and Gary. My goal is to make that deck better by adding white for better recursion options and more answers t...

DocLawless

Definitely. I'm trying to trade my Ajani, Mentor of Heroes for one. Nobody has gone for it yet. I might just have to buy one.

DocLawless

I considered that as an option. It's certainly not off the table as one. I do have a board wipe heavy meta, so I'll have to be able to come back from one of those. I can't use Thopter Foundry with Vish Kal, though, because it's Blue too. But you're right, it's not like BW is short on token generators.

DocLawless

I am convinced that I will never stop deck building. I've decided to just embrace that. Chainer is developing nicely, but I think it can be a little more than it is by adding White to the pile. White adds even more powerful recursion sources and provides access to Enchantment removal, which is somet...

DocLawless

The only stax deck I've seen around here that works around its own lock is Mishra. I'm 99% certain that they all hate stax decks because of that guy.

DocLawless

I feel like my place in the Circle of Distrust is making me be ignored

I'll be your Huckleberry...

DocLawless

That's goal #2. I've only seriously been playing EDH for a few months. The one deck is all I have for now.

DocLawless

Haha! Yeah, I'm definitely not the shark yet. I ain't the smallest fish in the pond, but I do need to work on my teeth.

DocLawless

I think there just comes a point as an EDH player where you reach a level similar to a Kung-Fu guru; yes, you can kill a table on turn 3 or deliver a 5 point palm exploding heart technique punch to kill someone, but is it really worth it? I see myself as 'above that.' I'd much rather play a game wh...

DocLawless

I couldn't tell you, man. I've been EDH exclusive since January. Everything I've picked out as being good or bad has been entirely based on whether or not it'd be good at my EDH table. Zem dropped a hint a while back that we should be aggressively trading for Prophetic Flamespeaker, so I've been col...

DocLawless

Oh, and I did this...

$10-$15 card for $5? Yeah, I'll buy that. And it's from ShuffleandCut, not some new seller that may or may not be reputable.

DocLawless

Someone explained to me not long ago that every time you go up a level of play it becomes a totally different game. I knew that, but for some reason just having it spoken (typed out?) to me was a moment of clarity. People tend to react to players on a level above them by saying their decks are "...

DocLawless

Isn't there another way to write them? Other than 5-7-5, I mean? I swear I learned that somewhere. That, or I'm making stuff up again.

At worst he's one terminate. Karn's with Sheoldred on the list of cards we're not going to let go around the table if we can help it. I found a weird interaction I didn't know existed. Cabal Coffers , Deserted Temple and Rings of Brighthearth . Pay 2 and tap Coffers for X mana, pay 1 and tap Deserte...

Where is this "personal shit" thread everyone talks about?

DocLawless

Subject: Should I take out Black Mike? Pros: - Undying with sac outlets and ETB effects is value. - The +1/+1 effect helps a bit when I need to be attacking. Cons: - Undying with sac outlets and ETB effects is win-more. - Weird interaction with creatures I steal from an opponent's graveyard being sa...

DocLawless

Hi Tube! :hi: Every time there's a new set I buy three or four packs and two or three of them will have the money cards in them, and then I never pull anything good from that set ever again. My first two RTR packs had Sphinx's Rev and Jace Architect, I had a Voice of Resurgence three packs into DGM,...

DocLawless

I should probably just chin up and get a Karn regardless. It's not like I won't use him in some other deck if I don't use him now.

EDIT: $35 on eBay? Yes, I will buy that.

DocLawless

So Erebos is a thing that makes life difficult here. Any ideas for answers other than Karn Liberated?

DocLawless

50 points for the center bullseye, 25 for the outer ring

DocLawless

Magic is like onions! "It stinks?" Yes... No! "Oh, it makes you cry?" No! "Oh, you leave it out in the sun, it gets all brown, start sproutin' little white hairs..." NO! Layers! Onions have layers! Magic has layers, onions have layers. You get it? They both have layers....

DocLawless

As an aside, I hate when I go fishing for ideas on the internet and 90% of what I find is "this deck -blah-blah-blah- until infinite combo". Seems uninspired. Different strokes, I guess.

DocLawless

That is a concern. Timing and holding an answer to it, like Living Death, is probably the only way I'll get away with using him with no detriment to myself. That said, I don't think anyone at my table has ever seen this interaction before so I will get away with it at least one time.

DocLawless

Wow. That's a real card. If I understand that properly... I can use Vish Kal's second ability, for example, to target an opponent's creature for the -X/-X counters, which Horobi then destroys, making it an illegal target? So I'd pick another one, destroying it too, repeat until there are no targets ...

DocLawless

Correction: I was the only one on that jazz. I am now off of it. "The down side of coming off 4096 was that I knew I would need to mix with my friends again in a state of full consciousness. It was awful: they reminded me so much of myself I could hardly bear to look at them. Take Dechs, for i...

DocLawless

Chainer derped hard all night. Opening hand had three lands and Lens. Kept them, then drew no lands for six turns. Finally played my Lens just to get some mana going and proceeded to draw nothing but lands for the next twelve-ish turns. Planar Cleansing killed Lens, then I drew an Exsanguinate. Got ...

DocLawless

I should start a stream where I do nothing but play EDH in "No MLD/Stax/infinite" games with a hyper ramp Omanth deck. Turn four, I Genesis Wave. X is 14.

Do it.

DocLawless

Is there an ETA to launch the new front page? This all sounds very promising.

DocLawless

Murder is a weak inclusion. I was initially resistant to exile removal because I can't steal it from their graveyard if its exiled, but then I remembered Riku with Rite of Replication and Progenitor Mimic making multiple Seedborn Muses or Terastodons and I'm suddenly more okay with Sever the Bloodli...

DocLawless

That could be a thing. I tend towards Phyrexian Arena as an automatic inclusion in black, but Erebos can probably work too. I do like the dirty looks Oloro will give me if I stick him.

DocLawless

This is a work in progress thread for Chainer, Dementia Master . Rather than lose the discussion in my other thread on repeatable recursion, I wanted to go ahead and start a thread specifically for brewing Chainer. The deck started out as a scrubby casual deck I threw together to grief someone who j...
