Optimator on Giant's Deck

3 years ago

Some of the newer Common giants are a lot better than the older ones in your list, so if you feel like dropping the $0.25 on them, here they are:

Shatterskull Charger is decent. Might not be a bad idea to have some lower-CMC giants in the mix so you don't get run over early.

Cragganwick Cremator is certainly a card that exists. Not great, but better than some of the commons in your current list. Probably not worth running but it's not garbage.

Bulwark Giant is tolerable.

Crystalline Giant can become a huge threat. Worth considering, actually!

Council Guardian is cute

Rumbling Sentry is meh

Wayward Giant is almost cost-effective

Ravenous Giant is Juzam Djinn. Might be worth running for the lolz.

Enraged Giant is playable. We can do better I bet.

Fleshpulper Giant is probably playable

Omniscience_is_life on The MOST expensive deck

I don't think Progenitus is the most expensive creature... try a Juzam Djinn instead maybe. Similar with Door to Nothingness, maybe a Candelabra of Tawnos? Love the idea of the deck!

DemonDragonJ on Modern Horizons Announced

Today has been another day for awesome previews!

First, I am very glad that WotC finally acknowledged that Beast Within is a violation of the color pie, and has created a more appropriate replacement for it, but, if the original card generated a green token, should not the new card generate a white token?

The new variation of splice is very nice, due to being much more flexible than the original incarnation, so I hope that that is an indication that it may return again in future sets.

A red variant of Juzam Djinn is very nice, and also much more appropriate to the color pie, today, but, by today’s standards, it is nothing spectacular, which would explain why it is an uncommon, not a rare.

Umezawa’s charm is very nice, and I am very glad to see a reference to a famous character from the story and his signature weapon. Will there be a complete cycle of charms, or is that a stand-alone card?

It is nice to see a card with the overload mechanic that is not red or blue, as this is not the first time that a mechanic that originally was used by a guild of Ravnica appeared outside of that plane, and this set also marks the first time that a replicate cost is not exactly identical to the card’s normal casting cost.

If I could find one negative thing about today’s spoilers, it is that I feel that Altar of Dementia is another card that should not have been introduced to modern, but even that is a fairly minor complaint. Hopefully, this year’s Commander set shall have some great cards for eternal formats.

Hi_diddly_ho_neighbor, yes, I am glad for that, but this set is introducing cards to modern, and, at this rate, the differences between modern and legacy are very minor at best, so I wish to WotC would make an effort to keep those formats distinct from each other.

Sol Ring, Dark Ritual, turn 1 Juzam Djinn

Thank you for the comment and support.

I still prefer Swords because giving an opponent more life is inconsequential compared to giving them a land considering I win using Lab Maniac.

Yeah, the card is not in the list. I used Juzam Djinn for the deck picture because nostalgia. :)

Coward_Token on Grixis!Zedruu

6 years ago

(I would add a proper community card but that feature seems to be malfunctioning right now.)

Farly straightforward, this card would mostly be Zedruu the Greathearted (although a different character, not simply her gone evil or something) with a casting cost of and an activation cost of . In EDH, this could lead to some fun usage of cards like the following:

(I realize you can basically already do this with any Grixis commander + e.g. Bazaar Trader, but that's a bit less straightforward.)

Wall of cards Show

Vampirism, Pitiless Horde, Aku Djinn, Witch Engine, Yawgmoth Demon, Andradite Leech, Moroii, Ebonblade Reaper, Demonic Hordes, Phyrexian Vatmother, Treacherous Vampire, Takenuma Bleeder, Archdemon of Greed  ^Flip, Immortal Coil, Null Profusion, Phyrexian Negator, Reaver Drone, Blood Funnel, Oni Possession, Benthic Djinn, Yawgmoth's Agenda, Phyrexian Etchings, Master of the Feast, Unholy Fiend, Bloodcurdler, Juzam Djinn, Wretched Anurid, Yukora, the Prisoner, Colfenor's Plans, Sleeper Agent, Gloom Surgeon, Minion of Tevesh Szat, Oath of Lim-Dul, Demonic Pact, Vampire Lacerator, Exiled Boggart, Midnight Oil, Herald of Torment, Jagged Poppet, Flesh Reaver, Measure of Wickedness, Nefarious Lich, Derelor, Ebon Drake, Liege of the Pit, Grinning Demon, Filthy Cur, Fledgling Djinn, Scourge of Numai, Hasran Ogress, Demonic Taskmaster, Thrashing Mudspawn, Gutwrencher Oni, Evil Eye of Urborg, Forbidden Crypt, Bellowing Fiend, Priest of the Blood Rite, Grollub, Xathrid Demon, Blessing of Leeches, Infernal Denizen, Evil Eye of Orms-by-Gore, Minion of Leshrac, Lord of the Pit, Abyssal Persecutor

(Hell, even things like Necropotence, Kothophed, Soul Hoarder, Carnival of Souls, Dark Prophecy, Dralnu, Lich Lord and Corpse Augur can be less-than-pleasant for an unsuited person.)

I'm unsure what would be suitable for its upkeep ability. Just copying Zedruu's straight off isn't too inappropriate, as drawing is certainly associated with black and life gain isn't too far out either, but that's kinda boring. Replacing the life gain with something negative towards opponents like milling, discard or plain life loss proportional to the amount of gifted permanent could be one option that's more in line with the color change (thought the negative effects would probably targeted in order to preserve some political potential). Putting a +1/+1 counter per gift on Zedruu the Grixishearted to take advantage of commander damage could also work (especially when combined with auras like Herald of Torment), in which case you could also change power/toughness from the original's 2/4 to 4/2 to signal greater aggression.

For the sake of flavor its subtype would be Horse Djinn, with the artwork depicting a djinn with a mare's head, wearing a mouth-covering veil.

Feedback would be welcome, especially on ways to make Grixis!Zedruu more distinct from the original while still fulfilling the basic function of giving out torturous black cards, in addition to the blue and red ones they both share.

(A version containing green could also be made for the sake of giving that color a chance to show off its painful cards, in which case the creature in question should probably have monkey paws.)
