miracleHat on Maelstrom Wanderer - Overpowering Threats
1 minute ago
Current setup /// drop- entish restoration, chromatic lantern, aggravated assault, sword of feast and famine, genesis ultimatum (winmore or just gamble?) finale of devastation (ouch cascade) /// add consideration- food chain, lotus cobra, is titan or mourag better, balefire or silverback value, extra turn card(s) --- but this really is creature based deck so the instant/sorcery route harder to incorporate -- time warp is less winmore and less gamble so better consistent but still has dead points - oh and avenger of zendikar apparently got dropped but needs to be re-added.
Deck just wants to be a food chain / palinchron combo deck so not adding misthollow/scourge or infinite mana outlet (except for finale which maybe drop for same and other reasons) but still not playing the palinchron game should be wrong choice each time if in deck.

They don't just get rid of mechanics like that. Usually mechanics go away if they're confusing (haunt), broken (storm), or feel-bad (infect).
Flashback is simpler and can be used in more settings.

In simple terms, there are only a few decks where either of them are useful. I tend to see the medallions more in storm decks and (maybe) some kind of Stax build, like with Static Orb?
The familiars have the requirement that you're playing two allied colors, possibly an arc, already hurting them. And one color, the one required to cast the thing in the first place, doesn't get the benefit. Plus, creatures are more vulnerable: Nightscape Familiar can regenerate, though.

He's said it himself. When you get even one poison counter, you're poisoned! It's not coming off, some cards care about this (which, yes, Zendikar had Vampire Lacerator and friends, but you don't trigger them at 18 life), and it can be made even worse by proliferate, even if most of us just prefer Giant Growth effects. The -1/-1 counters also feel like Torture and that's the whole point.
The problem is that it worked too well: Infect was a Tier 2 deck when in Standard, and at least in multiplayer Commander, it basically lets you remove one player before you die, but it was probably as salty as aggro gets. (Not for nothing last year's salt score ranking on EDHRec included Tainted Strike, Phyresis, and Blighted Agent as the third, fourth, and fifth saltiest commons.)

Flashback is a lot more setting-neutral than harmonize, so it's easier to put into any random set. I'm leaning toward flashback sticking around more than harmonize, but I'm ready to be wrong on this one.
If there's a better unearth, it's going to be in a strongly graveyard-centric set. It will probably happen eventually, but I don't think it's going to happen within the next couple years.

DemonDragonJ on Will Harmonize Replace Flashback?

Flashback has been part of this game for many years, and it certainly is a very nice mechanic, but, now that harmonize (the mechanic, not the card) exists, I wonder if WotC shall continue to use flashback, since harmonize is strictly better than it, although they are still continuing to print cars with cascade, despite discover being largely superior to that mechanic, and with monstrous, despite adapt being generally superior to that mechanic, as well.
What does everyone else say, about this? Will WotC continue to use flashback, or has harmonize rendered that mechanic obsolete? As a bonus question, since unearth is to creatures what flashback is to instants and sorceries, will WotC eventually make a mechanic that is to unearth what harmonize is to flashback? I certainly am interested to hear you thoughts, on this matter!

You might want to up your land count or cheap card-draw count. 35 lands and 6ish ramp means statistically you will miss your first land drop on turn 5 or 6. Tricky with a 7-mana commander. That said, you don't necessarily need your commander out on-curve.

No, prevention effects generally trump replacement effects. You don't attempt to draw a card and fail, you simply don't take the action, which means Asmodeus the Archfiend's replacement effect never applies.
See the Gatherer rulings on Maralen of the Mornsong: "While Maralen is on the battlefield, replacement effects that instruct a player to do something instead of drawing a card won’t work."

I seem to remember several years ago (at least 10) there was a series of decks that you could playtest on here with lore attached... As I recall, you'd start with whateve deck you wanted, then you'd use the playtest feature on here and play against yourself... each deck had a "If you win:X or If you loose:Y" that included rules for what cards you'd add to your deck if you made one choice or another, if your health would heal afeter, etc.......
does anyone else know what Im talking about (if so, do you have the link to the starting deck?

@Vessiliana the best build in all of BG3 is ascended Astarion as 12 Eldritch Knight (fighter) with the Titanstring bow and a lot of slaying/multi-target arrows. However, if you're hellbent on making him a cleric, 11 Ek and 1 War cleric is also a great choice.
Honestly I feel best cleric in BG3 is Lae'zel or maybe Minthara/Gale. Astarion's necrotic damage perk only applies on weapon hits. But if you're hellbent on running a cleric build then your go-to multiclass would be 9 light or tempest domain, and dip 2 points into Circle of Stars druid and your starting level as 1 Storm Sorcerer. Con saving throw proficiency is important. And you straight up need Luminous armor. Coruscation + Callous Glow rings are important too. I prefer Phalar Aluve just for buffs + Ketheric's shield. Lae'zel has proficiency with both due to being a Githyanki. Minthara is a good alternative due to being Minthara but Lae'zel can actually swing the sword in an emergency. (Minthy is the only S tier character who doesn't outright favor physical builds.)

I think you're right. Norn's Choirmaster only shines if I can attack more than once with my commander while Tekuthal synergizes with the deck as a whole giving consistsnt added value. Also, once upon a time in the deck's earlier iterations Defense of the Heart was in the deck, I dont remember why I cut it though.
Venum on The Song of Phyresis

Honestly, Tekuthal was added in my deck mostly because of the ''Fading'' counters. Double proliferate means you get to keep it next turn AND remove a counter.
Glad you came back for some the Poison Opera that is Atraxa.

Hi Venum,
Thank you for the nice words, i'm glad you like my deck. Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus definitely pinged across my radar when he was first released, I even went so far as to get an oil slick
copy of him as the price became more affordable. The problem was that I just couldn't find a slot for him in the deck. I'm flirting with the idea of swapping it in for the recent addition of Norn's Choirmaster - both are very similar cards with Tekuthal more synergy with the deck overall, but is not a proliferation source. The Choirmaster is a proliferation source, but requires the Commander to be in play - which is something I generally want. I don't know, the verdict is out on this one. Thoughts?

Hi Venum, thank you for checking in, and sorry for the delayed response. I was in the middle of a round of disc golf when you first commented lol.
I haven't built this deck IRL, as it's more of a theory craft. Tbh, I hadn't really thought about this deck in months lol. I do like your suggestions, and think Sneak Attack could fit right in; I use it in my Goro-Goro and Satoru deck for similar reasons. Impact Tremors effects paired with ETB Token generation is definitely a solid way to build this deck, I think I omitted some of those token generators since a couple of my other decks are more Token/Impact Tremors/Group Slug focused and I wanted to do something a bit different here.
Trailblazer's Boots are pretty solid, I've used them in past builds and some of my friends have used them for some of their Voltron Equipment builds before. I used to use Whispersilk Cloak in an early version of my Alesha, Who Smiles at Death deck a few years ago, but the 5 total mana to cast and equip felt kinda clunky for me. There were also some past corner cases where I wanted to be able to target my own creature for certain effects. Personally, I like Brotherhood Regalia a bit more for a cheaper over all mana investment to cast and equip to a legendary creature. Ward 2 isn't Shroud, but in a lot of cases 2 additional mana for spot removal is enough to deflect attention away, especially in my primary play group.

It’s coming together. It’s still a bit unfocused imo, with a few cards pulling different directions. Parallel Lives only affects Scute Swarm and Chasm Skulker for instance, and without a better ramp shell you won’t get it into play fast enough for it to even matter. I’d cut Parallel Lives and Chasm Skulker entirely since they don’t contribute toward Landfall in any meaningful way. Same for Foundry Inspector and most of your artifacts. They aren’t necessarily bad cards, but they don’t fit well here. As far as countermagic is concerned, I’d run Spell Pierce and Mana Leak or Remand in place of Narset's Reversal.
Ideally you’ll want to hit your land drop each and every turn, and maximize the types of landfall triggers you’re building with. The crabs might not be a good fit if you aren’t geared toward milling out the opponent’s deck, and might be replaced with traditional ‘this creature gets +x/+x whenever a land enters play’ stuff instead.
There are bounce lands to consider too, lands that return a land in play to your hand when they enter. Normally that’s a downside but it can be advantageous in Landfall decks.
Simplify and streamline what you have until it runs like a well-oiled machine. Oh, and this isn’t immediately evident but with the way the site works people won’t see your replies in the deck comments unless you tag then by name. Put the user’s name inside double square brackets and they’ll get a notification they’ve been mentioned. I only saw these new posts because I happened to check back.

Not a bad start but I do have some suggestions.
First, Canoptek Tomb Sentinel is your only repeatable piece of removal for enchantments in these colors. Bonus points for being an artifact and hitting other permanent types. Chaos Warp is worth running too.
Second is card draw. Marchesa's triggers are each separate and creatures come back one at a time, so Satoru, the Infiltrator triggers separately for each creature. Danny Pink, High-Society Hunter, and Liliana's Standard Bearer are amazing here too.
