capwner on Old School Dragons

This is freaking sweet. It's old school, and it's dragons. And you have the freaking Jokul/Worldgorger combo. I love it, pure oldschool EDH decks always have such a cool feel and I wish there was more of a community around playing them because I think then I'd be more incentivized to build one! This makes me want to build an all-Cephalid mono blue deck. Looks very clean and I love your use of staxy enchantments like Smoke and Mudslide to back up the dragon beats, though the latter does seem like a slight non-bo with Zirilan. AEther Flash is really cool too I don't think I've ever played with that one. Repercussion seems like it could be good in here especially in conjunction with cards like Earthquake. Maybe a backup MLD spell like Apocalypse could be nice considering you basically always have access to WGD and this is a very robust finisher. But understandable if you don't want tons of hard MLD in the deck, for social reasons :) +1

Flarhoon13 on Blim's Blumpkins

Finally!!! Lost one, won one yesterday evening! Let's talk about the win. I attacked turn 4 with Blim, Comedic Genius, gifting Francois, on Gyrus, Waker of Corpses, an Oni Possession. Blim, Comedic Genius never attacked again, even though I cast him for 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 mana. Later in the game, I cast a Sorcerous Spyglass and found an infinite combo in Aubrey's large grip... Exquisite Blood and Enduring Tenacity. Seeing that, I decided not to name Francois' Chainsaw nor his Lightning Greaves. Instead, I named Blighted Fen, which never seemed to matter.

Francois used Gyrus, Waker of Corpses to kill Aubrey, sending exactly enough to get 5 damage through, past his only creature, Athreos, God of Passage. I had a Tormod's Crypt out but never used it.

On my penultimate turn, at 6 life, I cast a Nefarious Lich and a Chain Reaction, taking out Tendershoot Dryad and The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride. I had about 9 cards in the yard, including AEther Flash, which had killed a Blood Artist and did a lot of work this game. A Demonic Collusion had found me a Blasphemous Act, which eventually took out Aubrey's Valgavoth, Terror Eater and several other blockers to allow Francois' kill shot on him. Auren was able to kill Francois. Auren passed turn to me while he was tapped out at 1 life with 5 tapped food, Night of the Sweets' Revenge in his graveyard, and his commander, Ygra, Eater of All making all creatures into delicious morsels. I made the ultimate top deck: Greed's Gambit. This allowed me to draw 9 cards with Nefarious Lich out. Among those nine was a Dark Petition which found me an Earthquake for the win. Finally!! Earthquake for 3 finally was enough to win the game.

Squall, Earthquake and luckly Wind Sail So... I love that idea of non-fly tribal, {G},{R} and {U} are my favorite colors

Livia Winged Chaos {G}{R}{U}

Legendary creature - Elemental mage

{2}: Livia winged Chaos gains or lose flying

{G}{T}: Target creature lose flying

{U}{T}: Target creature gain flying

{R}{X}{T} sacrifice Livia Winged Chaos: cause X damage to all flying creatures or to all creatures without flying

Up and down we will fly, if you stop you will die

-Elemental saying

Create a {G}{R}{U} legend

Both are definitely great options to consider. Earthquake isn't my cup of tea as I find your health can get low due to other players poking you throughout the game, so the symmetrical damage could be an issue.

I also personally prefer Pull from Tomorrow over Mind Spring as it's got that instant-speed flexibility.

All that said, try them both in your Saheeli deck and let me know how it goes!

this is exactly what I had in mind when I bought the saheeli precon a few years ago... maybe Earthquake for a flexible "win the game" spell or just a needed token sweeper? I think Mind Spring would be fun too; any thoughts?

king-saproling I definitely agree on Spellweaver Helix. It's better than Harness the Storm though I dislike it slowing me down by exiling two Dragon's Approach from the graveyard. It's a minor drawback that would otherwise make this an instant maindeck choice. I still go back and forth on it.

Neheb is a powerhouse in any red deck and in burn its a massive mana source. In practice, it's effects usually take a turn to realize and because it's a creature it's pretty vulnerable. It's a big effect but might be on the verge of win-more for my personal tastes.

Syr Carah, the Bold is an excellent suggestion! Repeatable card advantage and damage all in one is at a premium here. The only downside is that it's a creature that is vulnerable to enemy removal and it gets hit by Earthquake. These minor factors keep it on the backburner but it's a close call.

You've got me thinking! Thank you for sharing!

FormOverFunction on Players vs. Planeswalkers

2 years ago

Would it be good, or maybe bad, if the cards (or rules?) were changed to have “target player” include planeswalkers? Or maybe this has already happened... sort of? An example of what I’m talking about would be to have Earthquake hit planeswalkers because they’re included under “players.” They’re not creatures,so you can’t Terror them, but you can Lightning Bolt them with an “any target” spell. Changing earthquake would then make Magmaquake less useful, but I feel like fixing this blind spot might make PWs more manageable. Please help me understand PWs better and work through the logic of whether a change like that might be bad. Thanks all!
