KingSorin on Favorite card/card combo?

11 hours ago

Gloom + Painter's Servant + Enchanted Evening has to be up there.I also thoroughly enjoy Venser, the Sojourner + Archaeomancer + Time Warp Ink-Treader Nephilim + Act of Treason + Might of the Masses is hilarious, particularly in multiplayer. Doran, the Siege Tower + Rolling Stones + any wall (i like Wall of Denial and Steel Wall ) = trolls Mycoloth , Life and Limb and Timber Protector is just lol My favorite has to be Swans of Bryn Argoll + Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind , which makes infinite cards. Bazaar Trader + Act of Treason = permanent control (target the treasoned thing and you get it permanently) :) Elder Pine of Jukai + Loam Dweller + lots of spirits (with the option of Amulet of Vigor = fun. You can add heaps to this combo like Sire of the Storm and Dreamcatcher and Death Denied to get all of your stuff back. Hana Kami to get IT back also. This is just turning into a deck now though, not a combo.

Your mana curve is wonky. You have a lot of stuff to do on turn two, but not very many one, three, or four casting cost cards. You were right to include 25+ creatures, but your land count is low and you have random removal all over the place instead of packing four-ofs.

I would make the following changes:

Remove:

4x Boros Mastiff
2x Daring Skyjek
1x Five-Alarm Fire
1x Truefire Paladin
2x Warmind Infantry
4x Wojek Halberdiers
2x Homing Lightning
1x Warleader's Helix
2x Act of Treason
3x Lyev Decree
2x Mugging

...and add:

4x Searing Spear
2x Boros Guildgate
2x Lightning Mauler
2x Mountain
1x Plains
3x Fiend Hunter
2x Pillar of Flame
4x Rakdos Cackler
2x Stonewright
2x Boros Charm

This should improve your ability to play threats on turn one, remove problematic blockers, and churn out more stuff as the game goes on. You want to get as many creatures out as possible while nuking anything in the way.

Here are some of the more expensive cards you should look to add to your deck:

I suggest Catch / Release instead of Act of Treason . You can grab perms like planeswalkers or artifacts and still keep the option to hit creatures.

More than that. If you Cloudshift something you've Act of Treason ed, then it reenters the battlefield under your control as a new permanent - meaning that Act's "end of turn" clause doesn't apply. It's four mana and two cards to do so, but you're stealing their creature indefinitely then.

No. The battlefield is a shared zone, and nothing leaves or enters when Act of Treason resolves. The creature merely changes controllers while remaining on the battlefield.

Note that if Thragtusk leaves the battlefield while under your control, you will be the one to get the 3/3 token.

If I steal a Thragtusk with an Act of Treason , does it re-enter the battlefield undr my control, netting me 5 life? Thanks ;).

Cloudshift is different. It actually exiles the permanent (phasing does not), so when the permanent returns to the battlefield "under your control" per Cloudshift 's text, it's a fresh permanent. Act of Treason 's "until end of turn" clause no longer works because the permanent Act of Treason stole no longer exists.

What? How do you explain Act of Treason and Cloudshift then?
