hey Spirits!

quick question. what would mox diamond replace? just one of the other mana rocks or a land?

also, I was wondering why you use 1 snow-covered swamp and 1 regular swamp? what is the distinction there?

Happy holidays!

LordKunai,

The Snow-Covered Swamp and Snow-Covered Plains are protection against Blood Moon. We don't need Mountain because most of the lands will be mountains in that case.

They also cannot be Swamp or Plains because then you have a potential of countering our own Tainted Pact when looking for a Razaketh, the Foulblooded or a Master of Cruelties with Kaalia of the Vast triggered ability on the stack, or when looking for that last combo piece, or a Counterspell to stop someone from winning the game. It doubles our options for basic lands but also means that they don't conflict with our intstant tutor.

Mox Diamond could replace an interaction piece like Praetor's Grasp but it is nice to pull the opponents Thassa's Oracle and then win the game with a Tainted Pact. It could also pull a more control oriented card like Hellkite Tyrant that doesn't necessarily win the game, but he can devestate some players boards, could replace a Grand Abolisher but probably Everybody Lives! because well Everybody Lives (except the player trying to Fish-Consul win that is). Chrome Mox has a low activation rate in the turns that matter (I have a tab with the calculations but I haven't update my combine rates based on new artifacts, although Mox Diamond actually improves it's rate. Rakdos Signet isn't great becuase it's a MV3 (2 to cast, 1 to activate), so probably just easy to replace that! Thrill of Possibility is good to get a Worldgorger Dragon or Razaketh, the Foulblooded if for some reason we draw it, but isn't necessary. Thoughtseize might even be better (just target yourself), but even when used on an opponent it creates card disadvantage for you and one opponent, leaving the two others with card advantage now.

Probably Rakdos Signet goes, but we have different options for sure.

LordKunai,

Also was EXTREMELY happy that Orcish Bowmasters replaced that awful Bogardan Hellkite!

Made the change from fringe-cEDH back to high power with combat damage.

Can't seem to update my description, wont save, going to keep working on it later.

Hello im pretty new to magic, how does the infinite angles work?

vaholla,

Under my "Deck Stats" accordian, I have details for Game Winning Like: Kiki-Resto, which is the most efficient way, however, if Kiki-Jiki is on the battlefield, and you cast a Restoration angel, you can start at step 11. which is basically.

1. Kiki-Jiki on the battlefield
2. Cast Restoration Angel
3. Target Kiki-Jiki with the Restoration Angel "Enter the battlefield" triggered ability
4. Resolve the ETB and return Kiki-Jiki to the battlefield (untapped when they flicker out/in).
5. Repeat step 3. and 4. as many times as you want, each time Kiki-Jiki makes a copy of the Restoration Angel, and Kiki-Jiki gives those tokens Haste. Haste allows them to attack the turn they Entered. So your "Infinite" Restoration Angels are ready to inflict lethal combat damage.

I would read the Kiki-Resto accordian above, as Kiki+Resto is a lot of mana value, where this goes through the 2 cards for 4 mana which makes it viable.
