Melpomene, Tragedy Embodied

Legendary Enchantment Creature - Demigod

Flying

When this creature enters, search each opponent's library for a card and exile face down.

Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, search that player's library for a card and exile face down.

Whenever a player loses the game, until end of turn, you may look at and play cards exiled by Melpomene, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast those spells.

2/2

Create another Muse.

Could Gossamer Chains fit in here? I haven't looked through all the interactions, but it feels like it could be an interesting desperation card.

SaberTech 100% agree. The bracket system still has some amount of subjectivity and personal evaluation, and synergy is notoriously hard to measure. Deck power level will always be a continuous spectrum, no matter how much people try to break it into discrete chunks. I have a few lists I would call "high bracket 2" or "low bracket 3" or similar shading.

I'm just wondering what specific criteria TappedOut uses, and maybe offer some feedback as it continues. I've defied the recommendations a couple of times already.

dwaynewzq It got moved to the View tab on the deck page.

One of the things that caught my eye is that Plea for Guidance isn't a tutor. When I tuned down one of my decks slightly by switching out the deck's only game changer Enlightened TutorGC, the recommended bracket dropped from 3 to 1.

Is this going to have a specific teammate, or is it going to mix and match teammates?

I'm putting this in the TappedOut forum instead of Commander/EDH because it's about how T/O evaluates decks and brackets.

How does the site determine what counts as "few" or "many" tutors for bracket recommendations? What does it count as a tutor? How does it distinguish between brackets 1 and 2, or between 4 and 5? I don't have any complaints or suggestions for now, but I'd like to know a little more about how it works.

Fomorian is a solid common.

Balor is good, but I think you could make the costs to cast and to activate.

Mokele-Mbembe is fine, but Kongamato should be at least a rare. Free fighting against all opponents' creatures is more than what uncommon gets. The Nandi Bear and Mngwa are good.

The Greek group looks good.

seshiro_of_the_orochi 100%. One of my favorite fighting game characters.

Voldo, Treasure Guardian

Legendary Creature - Human Horror

Vercci's voice - As long as defending player controls two or more artifacts, Voldo, Treasure Guardian gets +2/+0 and can't be blocked.

Money pit - At the beginning of each player's end step, if Voldo is tapped, that player creates a tapped Treasure token.

Kkkhhrrrrrssshhhhh...

Wild.

Will go through these a couple at a time as I get time, but first thought is that the peryton wasn't actually a Roman thing. It comes from 1953(?), Jorge Luis Borges, who pretty much made it up from scratch. It's still a good legend/cryptid/folklore thing, but it's not a Roman one.

There's also an existing card Nucklavee, but it's heavily reinterpreted.

Yeah, I was pulling from One Land Spy-style lines. Glass cannon win-or-lose decks are always fun to see.

Bookrook I might be missing something. What's the typical line of play for the first couple of turns? My thought is that Land Grant into Haunted Mire or whatever, the Swamp Forest of your choice, into turn 2 land + Dark Ritual gets the Grist mill rolling a turn sooner. Would this work?

I'm not going to speculate on who created this thread, but read the room. Nobody else is freaking out.

Maybe people do things that annoy you online. But a mature response is to disengage and ignore, not call for mass death. All the threads that you don't like do see engagement by similarly-interested people, and it's kept entirely within the forum for off-topic discussion. That's why that section of the site exists. It takes no effort to ignore it if you're not interested.

Maybe you feel unjustly attacked, and rules are being unfairly applied. Again, I'm not going to speculate on the situation. But there's nothing keeping you here, and there's lots of other alternative sites.

Incidentally, I have to mention that a good chunk of users on this site aren't US citizens and have nothing to do with voting for or against Kamala, liberal or otherwise. This isn't the right forum for political discussion, anyway.

Land Grant can pull out a Forest to help cast Grist early, and Dark Ritual charges your mana for a turn. I don't know what the critical mass of Insects is to keep Grist rolling hard--maybe you can cut one or two?

Sonic Ballista

Sorcery

Sonic Ballista deals 3 damage to each creature target player controls. Goad each creature dealt damage this way.

Create a mysterious hallway.

Balaam__ You could get a few and hand them out at parties. Give 'em to friends, family, random people on the street, anyone you want.

On the plus side, Basking Broodscale's gone, and this deck has room to breathe again. On the minus side, it takes Deadly Dispute with it, and Kuldotha Rebirth is gone too. Is it worth it to try to reclaim the Broodscale space?

Literally two days after thinking about changes, Kuldotha Rebirth gets itself banned in Pauper thanks to a completely different deck. Awesome. This one's getting put aside for now.

Also, activation cost should be ", :"
