wallisface High Fae Prankster has the "perpetually" Alchemy ability, which means that the changes continue when the affected card changes zones.

If Prankster perpetually becomes a 4/1, it will continue to be a 4/1 while in the graveyard, and that will be the P/T that Likeness Looter copies.

No. When a creature card is in a graveyard it no longer has any battlefield effects on it - it’s no longer a creature but a ”creature card”, and doesn’t have any alterations on it that may have existed on the battlefield.

Anything in the graveyard just has the stats they’re printed with.

you are allowed to voluntarily reveal cards from your hand, or any other hidden information you have access to, unless a specific rule or card effect prohibits it.

But why?

leovolt884_ Hey, I really appreciate the input and will look into moving some things around and trying those cards out in this deck!

Nicklaffy2302 It happens to the best of us! Rubblebelt Maverick is a very good card and will get you results for sure. The card selection it provides is great setup for the early game, I just find it to be a somewhat dead draw over something more controlling or aggressive outside of your opening hand for this deck. But yeah test out the deck and see what you enjoy!

I still love this deck because of how aggressive it is and how it uses your own life total and lands to fuel a super aggro/lockdown strategy. It's really cool and is something that you could really only see in pauper

I personally love Mantle of Tides for blue control finishers especially because it can be equipped/moved between your creatures at instant speed with the best card draw in the format. Faerie Duelist is one of my favorite fairies from Return to Ravnica draft and would be really good with Spellstutter Sprite. It's also just more instant speed game action for a tempo/draw go style deck

Cool list! Pirates are cool and I drafted a list for Kenny awhile ago- pretty great character to build around, and I like what I'm seeing here.

(If you wanted to check out my list, it's Kenny's Fleet.)

This deck is meant for a good time, not a competitive time. Your power level (unless it's being determined by the old scale) seems very much like a bracket 3, at best.

I personally believe this deck functions at a pre-con level of power, which would be bracket 2-3, dependent on how you choose to look at or believe in that associated system.

This deck is a lovely project and I like what you've done! If you'd ever like feedback to make it more competitive please feel free to tag me in a comment. +1!

Upvote for the name, I will be incorporating this into my vocabulary.

I dont know if you've seen DanDaDan but it gives my the vibe of something Turbo Granny would say.

Caphir on Likeness Looter on High Fae …

Cardcombo:

Likeness Looter & High Fae Prankster

Since Likeness Looter copies a creature in your graveyard - a specific creature(?), not just an example of a creature in that graveyard - Likeness Looter should also have the power/defence of that specific creature.

For example, if I play High Fae Prankster and swap the Power from 1/4 to 4/1 and the creature gets killed and lands in my graveyard, the creature has still 4/1. Therefore, when I play likeness looter and it becomes the High Fae Prankster in my graveyard, it becomes a High Fae Prankster with 4/1.

Is that the correct application?

If not, could someone please cite the rules and maybe explain what I misunderstand.

Thank you very much in advance. I‘m looking forward to your answers.

Herigast, Erupting Nullkite, Laughing Jasper Flint, and Bazaar Trader are just a few that popped out to me as not really helping your Steal and Sac strategy. I'd say you want more sac outlets that can stick around other than your commander, stuff like Viscera Seer or Culling Dais are a few that come to mind.

KongMing on How to Lose Friends and …

Yeah, you both noticed the lands, lol. This deck only has 85 cards thus far - I still needed to make ~10 cuts before adding the rest of the lands. This just a way to see what all I have as I work on cuts. This build is 6+ years old now, and probably requires a lot more consideration for new cards.

I've actually made a 3.0 prototype version of this deck too, but it leans into the Infect and Phyrexian tribal aspects since Ertai is a Phyrexian now, lots of MOM cards.

That's a good call. I have Faerie Vandal to benefit from the draw, but something that damages per draw might be nice as well. I will have to play it a couple times to see what doesnt work, but I think i have a couple extra Crawlers in my library, so will have to find a space for it.

leovolt884_ I'm little embarrassed to admit I missed the Swamp part in Snuff Out, I appreciate you pointing it out! I enjoy your suggestions of Bayou Groff in place of Werebear, Utopia Sprawl, and Skyshroud Ranger. I've never been good at land base building / having an appropriate ratio, so I'm hesitant to include a third land colour.

I also have mixed feelings about Rubblebelt Maverick, but I think I want to see how he does first before replacing him.

Thank you very much for your thoughts, and I look forward to seeing your version if you do build one! :)

Great looking list! My friend has a Jon deck centered around relentless rats, and this one looks like like it'd also be difficult to figure out how to play around! Love a deck that makes players approach the game differently. Only think that comes to mind is making sure you're good to go if it comes down to just you and another player's. Pieces like Psychosis Crawler come to mind to help you chip away at life totals in the mean time, and I checked it is below 2$!

The Game (silver-border)

Utter the Profane

Instant

Look at target opponent's hand and secretly choose a non-land card name. Until the end of your opponent's next turn, if a player casts a spell with the chosen name, you may reveal the chosen card name. If you do, that player loses half their life total, rounded up. If no spell with the chosen name is cast, instead discard your hand.

"To utter it is to invite ruin; to forget it is to merely delay it."


I imagine the card art recalling the same figure from Cruel Tutor, but wagging their figure while pointing to the "ok" sign on a chalkboard.

Seems thematic enough!

Make another deceptively veiled reference to something!

Gleeock on Kardur's Fight Club

1 day ago

I tend to agree there. Flexibility tends to win me games with Kardur more than redundancy of Goading effects, particularly when Kardur is better than alot of "goading". For me, Kardur is more of a pressure relief valve, I don't actively try to cycle him that much because players identify that looping pattern & become very actively opposed, also you don't really build the board much doing that. I try to build up a little, build the graveyard, slug people with radiation, then drop Kardur if lethal is possibly coming my way. Recursion & a few ETB effects are king for me.

Hello!

like the title says, I'm unable to add any alternate arts. pressing the green 'add alter' button does nothing, just says this feature is only for upgraded accounts, which I've done. Even following the direct link from another thread gives me a 404 error. I see a couple other people have had this problem, but the threads don't provide any real solution besides contacting the admins, which I'm not sure how to do.

Hi fellow Yargle and Multani wielder! You've given me a few ideas on what I would change about my take on this deck. Hopefully you won't mind if I return the favor :)

Most notably, you have very little in here to prevent token decks from swamping you with too many creatures to block. I've solved this by adding stuff like Crawlspace, Jaheira's Respite, No Mercy and Silent Arbiter. There's more ways you can add to make Yargle/Multani very hard to stop as well. Prowler's Helm and Whispersilk Cloak for instance.

Anyways, looks good otherwise! Have fun with the deck.

This would work for numbers counters probably but not entirely for keyword counters. I don't think the searches of this site have boolean operators yet to do exact string matches like that.

But that's if I were the one to do it manually. I can't say the same for backend stuff or if there are any other bugs or limitations with large automation like that.

I may be stupid, but how are you casting snuff out?

In terms of suggestions you could probably go 20 or 21 lands in a deck where lands matter so much. I don't think Rubblebelt Maverick is actually helping that much to run 4 of it. I think what would be funnier is jam 4 Raze and run 2 or 3 Skyshroud Ranger or something of the same effect. Maybe make a small engine with Groundskeeper to return lands and then put them directly into play from your hand.

Another direction you can take it is just have one REALLY GOOD land and sacrifice the rest. Enchant a land with Wild Growth and Utopia Sprawl and just focus on keeping one or two enchanted lands around and keeping your opponent down to one or two mana while you have 3, 4, or even 5. Stone Rain is also an iconic card. This deck seems to really want to play black. Bone Shards can help you bin an early land to play a turn 2 wurm. Village Rites is excellent card draw and can keep your hand full of lands for afforementioned Skyshroud Ranger type effects. Black loves to sacrifice for cheap and while Improvised Club is a great use for Akki Blizzard-Herder more sacrifice outlets would be more consistent.

I don't really like Werebear in this deck because I think it will just take too long for it to become a 4/4 and it isn't an effective beater if you have to end up using it for mana to cast anything. Maybe consider Bayou Groff or Burning-Tree Emissary. This deck looks kinda funny and it makes me want to make my own version

Kruphix's Questioning Conundrum

Creature - Sphinx Hydra

When Kruphix's Questioning Conundrum enters or attacks, each player draws a card.

Whenever a player draws one or more cards and it is not their turn, if this creature is not a token, create a token copy of it. If you create a token this way, you may have it fight target creature.

4/4

Every deck that a user posts on this forum includes a list of the tokens that that deck can generate, which is obviously very nice, so would it be possible to add a feature in which every deck also lists the counters that that deck can place onto permanents?
