Harsh Mentor Discussion

NuMetal on Thats alot of (double) Damage!!

1 day ago

Exquisite Archangel finde ich nicht gut, da sie den Tod nur minimal herauszögert. Harsh Mentor ist zu random und schlecht. Indulgent Tormentor ist nicht gut, da er dem Gegner die Wahl gibt. Du wirst also nie etwas ziehen. Und "Loss of life" wird nicht durch deine ganzen Karten vervielfacht. Neheb, the Eternal Afflict bringt nichts, da es loss of life und nicht damage ist und die zweite Fähigkeit ist nicht verlässlich genug. Tunnel Ignus ist einfach nur schlecht

Ansonsten sieht's lustig aus :)

I'm kind of surprised that you're not running Ramunap Excavator / Crucible of Worlds since you have Titania and fetchlands to keep making elemental tokens, plus both/either would help you recover from something like Jokulhaups faster.

And any thought about running some punisher bears ie. Harsh Mentor , Rampaging Ferocidon and the like?

Draw spells like Faithless Looting might be better served being replaced by creature draw like Beast Whisperer or Soul of the Harvest , it takes a bit longer to get the value from them but they'd sneak around Ruric's 6 damage line. Or perhaps an enchantment like Colossal Majesty .

You could also augment your creature base with some of the Theros block or Amonkhet indestructible gods so you've still got something sticking around after a boardwipe.

This is less creature-centric than other Ruric Thar lists I've seen so not sure how much help the suggestions actually are but hopefully you can find something that leads to games with less salt. ;)

Leonin Arbiter and Aven Mindcensor help against tutoring.

Aegis of the Gods and True Believer can help protect you in a bind.

Tocatli Honor Guard and Hushwing Gryff stop ETB triggers.

Grand Abolisher, Sanctum Prelate, Stoneshaker Shaman, Taurean Mauler, Eidolon of the Great Revel and Kambal, Consul of Allocation help against control.

Selfless Spirit helps against board wipes.

Sorry I should have clarified. I meant how I helped TheErebos not asking him for advice. To go with your questions.

How well do you know cEDH? You do know that unless your running a combo deck multiple pieces of cards as a win con is too slow. You said you want to make a Boros color as competitive as possible. The cards you listed are not optimal and subpar.

You mentioned that you want to build a value town/stax(prison) hybrid. You are delving into combo pieces and not part of the lines you set your self up for. The main reason I listed the partners as commanders is because in a competitive meta life is a valuable resource if your going against Ad Naus type of decks the pressure Akiri gives is great. Having all the mana rocks in addition to stax/hate pieces will boost up her power and rack up damage as well as staxing the board. You break parity by gaining additional creatures for the value and go hatebears to swing and chip away at their life slowly while Bruse helps micro manage and enables higher outputs of damage.

Hatebear/Value Creatures:

Artifact Stax/Tax:

Enchantment Stax

Prison is a type of Stax, if you want to add in combo. The most efficient one in Boros is Kiki-Jiki and any creature that can untap him ex. Restoration Angel/Village Bell-Ringer.

Harsh Mentor?

The list looks fun, but may draw a lit of hate with the attack step. I think the only card I disagree with is Harsh Mentor. It seems like it would just dissuade opponents from using the ability. You gave me some solid ideas for my deck +1

Secondo me devi impostare il mazzo più verso il fare attaccare gli avversari tra loro e fargli perdere tempo per poi tirare fuori una finisher. Inoltre non hai nessun vantaggio dallo scartare, perché non hai cose come Liliana's Caress, wheels o carte con Madness, di conseguenza taglierei anche da quella parte. Quindi toglierei alcune delle carte tax che hai messo. Proporrei cose del genere:

  • Harsh Mentor -> Again, una tax abbastanza gratuita che però ti rende il tizio fastidioso #1. Non è ciò che vuoi, ti servono cose più subdole. Tipo Hunted Dragon.
  • Sire Of Insanity -> Spezza le tattiche a tutti, ma anche a te. Non lo ritengo utile, soprattutto perché non carte con madness, né carte sufficenti con flashback, emerge, ecc. Meglio un Combustible Gearhulk che ti fa pescare. In rosso. 6/6 first strike.
  • Dark Ritual -> Non è forte come Mana Geyser. Se non sei un mazzo combo, non te ne fai nulla di una carta così.
  • Hero's Downfall -> Ruinous Path e risparmi.
  • Rakdos Charm -> Nessuno dei sui effetti è così utile, se non forse esiliare il cimitero, but then again... Bojuka Bog?
  • Dreadbore -> Murder e risparmi.
  • Vandalblast -> Costa davvero tanto. Fai tu, ma non vedo tutta questa necessità di spaccare tutto. hai già molto removal per gli artefatti, potresti investire quei denari altrove.
  • War's Toll -> Heartless Hidetsugu è meglio non metterti un bersagio sulla testa grosso come war's toll. L'hidetsugu è più democratico.
  • Worn Powerstone -> Citadel of Pain perché la Powerstone fa schifo. Meglio una carta che gioca contro chi vuole fare il cheesy. Oppure Talisman of Indulgence.
  • Hissing Miasma -> Skyline Despot meglio avere più carte che ti rendono monarca che un side effect come questo enchantment. Se vogliono attaccarti, lo faranno comunque. L'unica ragione per cui invece Marchesa's Decree va bene è perché ti rende monarca.

Io tenterei di mettere tante carte che ti fanno rubare cose agli avversari, perché è un modo swag di rompere le balle. Ci sono così tante carte con questo effetto, che rischi di poter anche non mettere Insurrection, più che altro perché è difficile da trovare e costosa. Dico cose come:

Oltre a ciò, ti consiglio carte swag che sicuramente sono divertenti come:

Scusa se non ti ho commentato tutte le carte, ma sono un pelo di corsa. Ne possiamo piuttosto parlare quando ci vediamo.

Harsh Mentor looks good here. Price of Progress is essential since you're monored, kills people out of nowhere lategame.
