More thoughts: 1) As dirty as the Triskellion/Mikaeus combo is, I'm not sure I like Triskellion in the deck. He just doesn't do anything on his own and I don't think that acceptable from a six drop. I'd like to replace him with Woodfall Primus . With Mikaeus on board he does basically the same thin...

You're the one with the friend who wanted to do it... .___.

My friend can potentially chip in to do a bit of the more complicated stuff. His talents don't lie to making towards making things look pretty, however.

Azrael

Ok, so who wants to volunteer to help get the front page running at long last? We need people who can code, html/css at a minimum. Ultimately, we'd like to have the following up and running: *Original Articles and RSS Feeds *Cull recent T8 results and format them into useful gauntlets for people to ...

Azrael

Nice!! So much thought put into this list. My only question marks would be whether the tutor package is too extensive for consistency, creating too many combo dead drops, and maybe if more artifact critters would help. But if you were aiming for versatility, there's so many different powerful intera...

Azrael

I'd definitely get away from some of the little dorks that don't do much besides add a few points of damage, like Steel Overseer, Argent Sphinx, Master of Etherium, etc. They just don't make enough of a difference versus 40 life opponents. Training Grounds and Liquimetal coating are pretty sweet in ...

Azrael

You could consider dropping the lonely Sword of Feast and Famine , it's a great card of course but I'm not sure how many times you'll be able to just swing with a dude to make it work effectively. Think so? There's a pretty high creature quotient, and it's a pretty mana hungry deck. I cut Doubling ...

Azrael

Threw in Weathered Wayfarer, Grave Titan, Crucible, Life from the Loam, Myr Battlesphere, Sakura Tribe Scout, Skyshroud Ranger. (Cut Sheoldred, Night's Whisper, Stone-Seeder, Dance of the Dead, Worm Harvest, Reanimate, Altar of Bones) Really unsure about some of those picks. I'm wondering about tryi...

Azrael

Chittering Rats? Cranial Plating? Demonic, Vampiric?

Something about the thought of Demonic Tutoring for Chimney Imp makes me giggle inside.

Fleshbag Maruader over the 4cc imp?

Azrael

Like.

Ditto

Azrael

This is my current Karador list. The core idea is working ok, but it needs some optimization. Plan A is tutoring up Hermit Druid. From there, you reanimate stuff with Karador, Dread Return, and Unburial Rites, doing something like Sun Titan into Lighting Greaves into Kessig Cagebreaker, or Craterhoo...

Azrael

i think there should be something dying. preferrably to removal

Yeah, I was partial to the multi-banner rotating images idea that was floated.

Azrael

Can we have one of those rotating banners on the forum page? Like everytime you refresh the page it gives you a different banner? We should just have a bunch of the ones of things actually dying to removal

I like it.

Azrael

Nihil would be a good option for that, cycles if you need it to. Or Bojuka Bog. For myself, I don't play anything aside from Bojuka Bog, and that's in 1 deck out of 14. My preferred method of dealing with graveyard-based decks is to put the player in the graveyard. There's a few decks out there (Her...

Recurring Insight is almost always much, much better than Braingeyser and Mind Spring.

Azrael

My apologies for taking so long to respond to this: I thank you greatly for some of the advice you gave. I haven't bought cards since GTC, so I haven't had the opportunity to pick some of the cards up. Our group doesn't care too much about being degenerate, as long its not ridiculous (cryptic I kno...

Azrael

Heheh, probably.

Azrael

I've been god-awful busy running an insanely aggressively deadlined project. There's also sorts of things we previously discussed for the front page that we should be doing, such as RSS feeds, event calendars - the list is kicking around here somewhere.

Azrael

Holy Crap, I didn't even think about it. I just assumed it was in the list...

I think there's some relatively recent dork that costs 4 and does the same thing, too.

Azrael

Oh, hey, nobody mentioned Fleshbag Marauder yet.

Azrael

I'm thinking we should add a hitler-mustache, just to be in the clear.

Azrael

Both Bloodghast and Ashen Ghoul are pretty good, I'd probably run both. Its tough to have too many recurring critters. And Attrition is also probably a lot stronger than most of the other sac outlets, I've been on the receiving end of it from a similar deck and it's quite problematic. Hmm. Eldrazi M...

Azrael

If you want to be a terrible person, Contaminate?

Bloodghast. Attrition.

Necrologia, Ambition's Cost, Necropotence are good for fueling up. Mind Twist, Head Games, and Persecute are good disruption. Sol Ring, obv.

Edit: Oh! Greater good.

Azrael

I'll take the 250 post compromise. I think Scumbag is right that a lot of people may be having a hard time remembering back to how long it takes most people to reach that number of posts, but we can revisit that number later if necessary (IE, when people start making CI threads about how dumb the 25...

I don't think I am allowed to use copyrighted images? So I used my very limited drawing skills to draw a Chandra lol.

I'm all for fostering community involvement; but I think its helpful to make the bait a little bit easier for newcomers to reach. 100 posts is a good barrier for rippers, but it's low enough that people who are actually interested in the community, or prospectively interested in the community, to ju...

Azrael

I like the idea of having a post limit - 1000 is much too high, and even 500 is pushing it. For most people, it takes a very long span of time to amass that. 100 posts might be more reasonable - still enough to deter lazy rippers to find a site with no post limit (such as Sally), but pulls in the l...

Azrael

Seems like the strength of your build is hitting multiple people at once for critical amounts of damage. Runeflare only does a single player, and it's pretty conditional whether it will deal enough damage to kill a player who's at a decent amount of life. Your deck is definitely far more creative an...

This should be pretty close: [deck] 1 Nin, the Pain Artist 14 Ramp 1 Sol Ring 1 Mana Crypt 1 Palladium Myr 1 Apprentice Wizard 1 Worn Powerstone 1 Trinket Mage 1 Fabricate 1 Thada Adel, Acquisitor 1 Copy Artifact 1 Phyrexian Metamorph 1 Sculpting Steel 1 Doubling Cube 1 Gilded Lotus 1 Thran Dynamo 1...

Azrael

Hmm, I've found in my work on Nin that it's pretty critical to both mana ramp like a fiend and to pack in some cheap utility creatures that can be turned into Mind Springs (or maybe just Divinations and Concentrates) in short order, so you can keep fueled up on land drops and mana development. Some ...

Azrael

Neat deck. Love the repetitive Gilded Drake bouncing in particular. Mana Reflection and Doubling Cube seem like that could be pretty good here. Especially if you bouncing Doubling Cube to re-tap multiple times. If Time Stretch is prevalent enough in your meta, you could run Knowledge Exploitation as...

Azrael

TCG player is the only place I usually read. Don't read SCG since they charge for the "good" stuff. Where else has some decent articles? Channel Fireball, gatheringmagic.com. Don't read them regularly, but what I've read, I've often liked. And TCGplayer definitely has my favorite author e...

Azrael

Also, Amulet of Vigor does some good work in conjunction with Terrain Generator and Thawing Glaciers . Walking Atlas is an absolute powerhouse for ramping, especially when coupled with card draw, Journeyer's Kite, and even Armillary Sphere. He's pretty much an auto-include in Blue or Black big mana...

Azrael

What strange cards do you run that hardly anyone else seems to know about? My number one favorite is Orcish Settlers . Not every deck is set up to profit from a mass land destruction sweeper, but pretty much any deck with a decent mana ramp will love to punch out XX lands from its opponent of choice...

Azrael

So can anyone explain why? Is it just stubbornness at this point to not remove the worst mod and the one that causes the most drama everywhere he goes? Pretty sure some of them think the complaints are all the overblown product of a militant minority with an anarchic agenda, and that she needs prot...

Azrael

Really? Hmm... I've got Bloodgift Demon, Phyrexian Arena, Skeletal Scrying, and Disciple of Bolas for card draw. As for tutors, I have Rune-Scarred Demon, Vampiric Tutor, Enlightened Tutor, Demonic Tutor, and Tithe (yes, it counts). It's never been an issue for me, really. This is a very fast and a...

Azrael

Seems light on draw and tutor effects. Are you ok with that?

Azrael

Kyren Negotiations? If you're just going to the dome, it seems like leaving your team alive is better. Plus, it's pretty good synergy with summoning sick Krenko tokens.

Azrael

I've never played one of these myself, don't know precisely how good Brightstone will be, but traditionally, emptying your hand in goblins is pretty ridiculous so long as you can find sufficient ways to refill. I'd cut Goblin Razerunners, Piker, Tunneler, Leyline, all four of your non-goblin creatur...

Azrael

Goblin Lackey, Warren Instigator, Shared Animosity, Furnace of Rath, Marton Stromgald, Akki Drillmaster (goblin that gives haste), Siege Gang Commander, Brightstone Ritual, Goblin Recruiter, Goblin Matron, Goblin Ringleader? I'd mention Piledriver, but he's a bit ridiculous now.

Seems interesting.
