Ponza without Stone Rain or Pillage? Isn’t ponza basically just midrange land destruction? You even have it in your decks hubs. Still getting an upvote.

Heyo, thanks again for help deck tech'ing my own Magda brawl deck!

One thing I see you're not running but has saved me a couple games already is Arena of Glory (admittedly, only about 15 or so games under my own deck's belt).

All the treasures the rest of the deck provides really helps mitigate using it every other turn, and reliably getting extra mana ramp/haste has allowed for some nasty multi-spell turns firing earlier than normal. Maybe one to consider for ya - either way see you on Arena!

Triskelion -> Nexus of Becoming
Svella, Ice Shaper -> Saheeli's Artistry
Ion Storm -> City of Death
Ooze Flux -> Court of Vantress

Shapers of Nature -> Extravagant Replication
Zameck Guildmage -> Second Harvest
Sage of Fables -> Intelligence Bobblehead
Collector's Vault -> Luck Bobblehead
Third Path Iconoclast -> Mechanized Production

ClockworkSwordfish, those are all great recommendations.

I can't believe I somehow didn't think of Dowsing Dagger.
And One with Nature is an insanely good card for this deck. I obviously don't play enough green, because I never even knew it existed.
I will say though, I try my best to avoid any card that introduces the Day/Night cycle to the game, just for mine and my playgroup's sanity lol.

I'm not super sure why I left Cephalid Pathmage in the list. Maybe I was thinking about using it for politics and giving the unblockable to someone else's creature?
But I definitely agree that it could pretty easily be replaced. In fact, there's probably a handful or more basic or outdated creatures in the list that could be updated with some more modern choices.

Trying to figure out what your aim for the deck is. I am not much o a mono black player either but I have to say I really enjoy my mono black deck (Chainer) give it a look over cause there is a lot of useful things you should consider in it. If you give a more specific idea for what you want your deck to do let me know makes suggestions easier (eg: life drain, or aristocrats, aggro, reanimator). I ask because it feels a little all over the place. With your commander choice I tend to see a lot of aristocrats / reanimator with a splash of token.

FallopianGolem on Action Surge (Karlach Extra Attacks)

NV_1980, That looks like a Xenagos deck! There's a player in my regular group that has a Xenagos, God of Revels deck, so I wanted to do something different.

There's a few differences in our two decks, and I think it comes down to your deck's focus on mana production as a means to use cards Aggravated Assault and Moraug, Fury of Akoum more than once, and admittedly, I forgot that card existed. I'll definitely be adding it to my own list. I'll also be looking at adding World at War and potentially Relentless Assault. There are a few other cards I may look into swapping out as well.

My deck above has a "cheat creatures into play" sub theme. This allows me to trigger extra combats by cheating in creatures like Anzrag, the Quake-Mole or Scourge of the Throne on the first combat. Then using the second combat to trigger another combat step or two. With Karlach, Fury of Avernus in the command zone, I also wanted to make sure I was playing other creatures that made more combat steps. Like the aforementioned cards and Combat Celebrant. Running Fury of the Horde and Savage Beating helps add to that, but shouldnt be this deck's primary source of extra combat steps.

Generating a ton of mana via creatures attacking is great value, and it works well to allow both our decks to play one or more large creatures ahead of curve; however, there are some differences that appeal to different play styles in both decks. Looking at your list has definitely given me some extra ideas, but all and all, I think both decks have different sub themes that may appeal to a variety of other players. Thanks for the comment!

Might try more removal like you suggested though.

ClockworkSwordfish on Literally just a list of …

Looking good, I like the cohesion and dedication to the concept. Looks like it could do the trick, too!

I can see a couple slots that could use a possible boost, though... you might like something along the lines of Suspicious Stowaway  Flip, Silent Hallcreeper or Shoreline Looter over Cephalid Pathmage - there aren't exactly many targets waiting for him to help with unblockability, ha ha. Metathran Soldier might also be a little plain as a vanilla 1/1 for 2.

There are also a few gems that come to mind for 'unblockable tribal' that are worthy of finding room for! Dowsing Dagger  Flip ends up being a discount Gilded Lotus, and One with Nature can be a Rampant Growth every turn for one measly mana.

Hi, I've made a similar deck but I'm using Xenagos, God of Revels as its commander. It contains a few more ways to get many more combats per turn. Feel free to check it out: King Stranger, Make Me Strong!

Stodge17 on G/B graveyard/reanimator deck

2 weeks ago

I agree with you, ramping more many to allow Stick to be brought back again and again along with having few creatures and going with higher mana, stronger creatures to make reanimate more aggressive.

It’s another great point to have multiple wincons and reanimate strategies. Being able use different strategies will make the deck more balanced. Along with having a few token making creatures in the deck will help.

The hard part for me is limiting creature count in the deck. I’ve weeded out several and got it down to 22 in my “dream deck” getting it lower seems so hard. But having more ramp and permanent removal will keep the opponent off balance.

I happened to have a Tolarian Academy, but it is by no means necessary, I have played this deck many times and still never had it come up. Removing it also cuts a substantial cost from the deck, and so I would basically encourage that, unless you happen to already have one.

I am keeping it strictly to Bloomburrow for now, until the wife feels ready to branch out (she’d say I’m cheating XD). It’s her first time playing, so I have to be nice.

Good call on Lunar Convocation. Have to find a couple of those. I did have two Darkstar Augurs in there previously, but removed them in favor of I can’t remember what. Play felt better with the replacement. Thanks, again, for your suggestions!

Taida on I wanna play Yu-Gi-Oh but …

BirdieGirlie makes a lot of sense. I playtested the deck just to see how would it work and intended on keep iterating on it. While trying I found what you said. Not enough creatures either for Eldritch Evolution or Fauna Shaman so I will try getting more on the deck. I also found that The World Spell and Invasion of Ixalan  Flip usually were very underwhelming. The latter still had some value, but it would rarely be flipped, so I want to try getting simply more draw spells. The ideal here would be to get something like Forging the Anchor is for artifacts, in general a very efficient draw spell just for something, but I don't think there is any choice. Maybe I will try some draw + scry effects. Regarding the Omniscience payoff, Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur is AMAZING, so now I think the deck is just missing some other threat that is more immediately dangerous, as Worldspine Wurm does not seem to go all the way to it. Finally, dealing with removal and counters. I absolutely know that the combo is VERY reliant on Kona, Rescue Beastie living, but I want to just get some more consistent and better tuned deck first. Also, some of the best options like Veil of Summer are quite pricey and feel very bad if they get stuck in your hand without use or you draw too many. For now, I am considering including Destiny Spinner to deal with counters and also act as fodder for some of the crature searchers when not needed.

DreadKhan on Composting with Wurms

Huh, I didn't realize Dark Ritual had gone up that much, but that makes sense. It's a very good card in decks that have explosive uses for it. As was mentioned, you might find it for cheap, I got most of mine when I bought some cards from people I knew (stuff that had rotated out for example). While I got a lot of stuff like this I also got a handful of Dark Rituals! I hope you can find some, they're a really amazing Legacy card, and they cost next to nothing.

Since I don't have anywhere to practice Legacy play atm, I often test decks people post vs stuff I've homebrewed. When I was testing this vs my Pox deck (it's a midrangey Control list that can be incredibly slow) it was a big issue if your deck couldn't reanimate Armada Wurm, that second body is a real hassle in Legacy, where people rarely use wipes. Many decks can pass a single removal check, but two of them can be crippling, and being able to do this each time you reanimate an Armada Wurm played well. Roar was a convenient card relatively early, a 6/6 vanilla is still a must answer threat IMHO, and 3G from your graveyard for it seems playable (it outclasses my Pox deck's various 5/5s). Vs my Affinity deck you were just way too slow to compete (the answer would probably be to run Serenity, Seeds of Innocence, or Force of Vigor, and you'd put them in a sideboard I think), that's why I felt some ramp might help, if you can cast a 4 drop a turn early it'll feel quite good.

As for what to pull, I feel like you should leave at least 1 Armada Wurm, and I'd hate to see Roar go if you add Augur of Skulls, the main problem with Roar seems to be that card sucks to draw early/have in your opener, Augur gives you a way to bin it. Anyways, Rite is one of the worse reanimation options, it's hard to cast either way, and it's pretty bad to mill, so I could see you cutting it (I've seen people use Dread Return like Balaam mentions, it's even got Flashback fwiw). I really don't like Boneyard Wurm very much in practice, if you have it early it'll be bad value for mana, and late game it's still just a vanilla beater, I'd play Ornithopter over that.

This is a bit random, while I'm pretty confident most Dredge stuff wouldn't make sense in here, I do wonder about Dakmor Salvage? It's not a fantastic card, but if you can mill it you can mill more cards to 'draw' it? It's an ETB tapped land so it could hurt you later game a bit, but this deck felt like one that could fit a tapped land into it's curve. Maybe try x1 or x2 in place of swamps?

inni794 on Liesa but Angels

2 weeks ago

Thanks to both multimedia and TheoryCrafter for the suggestions.

A few of them I've acted on, for example, I didn't realise I couldn't use multiple Legion Angel in sideboard, and then Seraph Sanctuary, plus replacing Unmake with the Strictly better Utter End.

Added a Hedron Archive for more ramp, and Divine Visitation (a card I had already and was figuring out which deck to put in), along with another token generator in Dramatic Finale.

However, every addition I've made for your suggestions is just cards I already had (or found randomly when looking through my now 10 year old collection and forgot/didn't know I owned).

For the rest, though I agree with some of them on a concept level, including some of the lower power angels, my friend already has an angel deck and I'm trying to make mine slightly different from hers so as to not have overlap, so some of this was a conscious choice to be different, or some cases, I simply don't have more copies of the cards and don't want to buy more (HI Arcane Signet/Phyrexian Arena.

Again, thanks for your suggestions :)

@Frykas Dark Ritual isn’t too bad if you buy the cheapest printing of the card. It’s ~$1.50 at the moment most places.

If you have a card shop in your area with a ton of bulk commons, it’s worth spending 20mins picking through them. Rituals have been historically cheap, and most shop owners don’t take the time and effort to sort thousands of bulk commons to pick out cards like rituals if they jump in price .75 cents or so. There’s a decent chance you can find some in the .25 box in your local shop.

Nov 23

Yidris: Controlled Chaos, budget power won a long, kind of crazy game. Darryl cast Jokulhaups via Discord, Lord of Disharmony, which looked like it was handing Nolan the game, since he was able to make his Rakdos, the Muscle commander indestructible. I drew well and cast the greatest thief in the multiverse, Dack Fayden, to steal Darryl's Sol Ring. I cast an Aetherflux Reservoir, and a Sunbird's Invocation. The next turn, I cast a Berserkers' Onslaught, Sunbird's Invocation revealed an Inevitable Betrayal, which I used to get Nolan's Molten Primordial. That stole the Rakdos, the Muscle, a Professional Face-Breaker and an OG Jodah, Archmage Eternal. I attacked Nolan with his own commander and Darryl's Tainted Strike made it lethal, even as I attacked him with Jodah, Archmage Eternal, also for lethal (he was at three life). Doug had enough on board to kill me but I untapped and played Karn's Temporal Sundering, bouncing my Dualcaster Mage. In my extra turn, I had the Dark Petition to grab Ghostly Flicker. Ghostly Flicker copied by Dualcaster Mage does go infinite. Infinite mana, then Seasons Past meant I was totally infinite. I could recur the Dark Petition for Seasons Past and cast them infinitely plus so many more, Aetherflux Reservoir was a win condition
