DemonDragonJ on Signature Spellbook: Gideon

1 week ago

I cannot believe that there has not yet been a thread for this, so, I shall make one.

The next installment of the Signature Spellbook series has been revealed, and it is Signature Spellbook: Gideon.

I admit that I was certain that the next installment would be for Chandra, but it is more dramatically appropriate to have it feature Gideon, since it seems likely that he shall die in War of the Spark, and this also make it very likely that there shall be a spellbook for each of the original five members of the Gatewatch (Jace, Gideon, Chandra, Nissa, and Liliana).

The cards in this set are as follows:

Gideon Jura

Martyr's Bond

Path to Exile

Rest in Peace

Shielded by Faith

True Conviction

Worship

Blackblade Reforged

The cards are very visually-impressive, but I am slightly disappointed, because all of them have already been printed in the modern frame style, and this series of products is a great way to reprint older cards in the new frames. However, I am glad that none of the cards are filler, as occasionally happened with the From the Vault series, although I do feel that eight cards is simply too few; ten cards would have been much better.

I definitely plan to purchase foil versions of both Path to Exile and True Conviction , provided that they are not too expensive.

Also, it is so wonderful to see new artwork from Richard Kane Ferguson, since he has not illustrated a card for this game since Eventide in 2008; as usual, his artwork is amazing! I do hope that this means that artists such as Rebecca Guay, Ron Spencer, or Thomas M. Baxa may eventually illustrate for WotC, again.

What does everyone else say about this? What are your thoughts about the second installment of the Signature Spellbook series?

Motys on Yennett All Odds, No Evens

4 weeks ago

So first iteration of my yenett deck was put to the test. 3 games, 3 wins. Worth mentioning i'm playing only in paper and that our LGS is small and deck are rather casual (i believe strongest decks are like 6/10 in term of power). We tend to play long games. My build runs 38 lands (21 basics, 1 fetch), and 10 even cards. Cannot provide decklist yet. My build isn't very focused on single target removal. Thou i need to add some removal for enchantments/artifacts. No Future Sight, Sensei, Soothsaying. Rise of the Dark Realms, Anguished Unmaking i have in other decks.

Even cards are : Strionic Resonator (damn this one is strong), Swiftfoot Boots , some 2cmc mana rocks, Supreme Verdict , Wrath of God , Smothering Tithe (Can this get ban already?), Overwhelming Denial .

Since this is "casual", only wheel effect im running along this Smothering Tithe is Dark Deal .

Liliana Vess performed really well. I don't have Animatou. Jace, the Mind Sculptor is probably fine addition to the deck. Dream Cache is probably better than Frantic Search? Living Death is too risky in my opinion.

To protect myself and yenett i'm running packet of : Propaganda , Ghostly Prison , Sphere of Safety , Shielded by Faith , Karmic Justice , Bastion Protector

Ethersworn Adjudicator was really good in my games.

Counterspell package: Stubborn Denial , Disallow , Overwhelming Denial .

Fun's over pack : Time Warp , Temporal Mastery

Examples of odd cards im running: Herald of Leshrac , Artisan of Kozilek , Brilliant Ultimatum , Pathrazer of Ulamog , Blatant Thievery , Void Winnower , Inkwell Leviathan , Mind's Dilation , Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts , Platinum Angel , Angelic Arbiter

If You want to improve Yenett and make deck real nasty , extra turn spells are probably way to go (Nexus of Fate might be really strong). Old Ulamog and New Emrakul are also Odd cards. Magister Sphinx , Enigma Sphinx , Mother of Runes , Iona, Approach of the Second Sun can also be very good.

Hope this helps a little and i'll see another Yenett video on the channel :D

KuyaKun on Infect Voltron

Livewire Lash Is a great card to add to the deck because infect DOESNT have to be combat damage, it is triggered through ANY damage. The equipment gives the creature the ability, and the triggered ability allows the infect to go through

I suggest running a bit of green for the power boost, Phytoburst Would be great in this deck, just swing for a 6/6 infect on turn 3

Also Shielded by Faith isn't legal in Modern, so you should replace it with Darksteel Axe or maybe Swiftfoot Boots

Tenebroleso on Trostani, Selesnya's Voice [Life Gain] [7/10]

1 month ago

17/03/2019: LOST (Home testing)

Ezuri, Renegade Leader + Zur the Enchanter + Arcades, the Strategist + Trostani, Selesnya's Voice

Ezuri parte molto veloce con una serie di drop a 1 e 2.
Anche Trostani è rapidissimo e scendono in tavola prima Anointed Procession e poi Crested Sunmare .
Al 4° o 5° turno Arcades è già costretto a lanciare Fell the Mighty per pulire il tavolo e rallentare il gioco, di fatto inchiodando gli elfi con una carta in mano.
Zur si mette in protezione con Propaganda , Windborn Muse e Archangel of Tithes e diventa praticamente inattaccabile.
Trostani, diventato archenemy e con 50+ life, inizia a popolare cavalli ma viene fermato in tempo da Imprisoned in the Moon .
Arrivano in tavola anche Armada Wurm e Collective Blessing per Trostani, e Arcades viene vaporizzato da un attacco in massa di token.
Zur nel frattempo ha tutorato Shielded by Faith e Curator's Ward senza che gli altri potessero opporsi.
Prende anche Ethereal Armor e il turno seguente Phyresis e subito dopo Arcades lascia il gioco anche Trostani che non ha volanti per opporsi.
Nel frattempo Ezuri si è ripreso e ha un po' di creature in gioco. Appena Zur passa prova a chiudere subito la partita con Coat of Arms e Triumph of the Hordes ma si becca un Cyclonic Rift in faccia.
Tocca di nuovo a Zur e finisce lì.

RoaringBunny on Mr. Steal Yo Topdeck

I don't know what kind of group you play with so I'm going to make a bunch of general sugestions.

• First off, you might benefit from some instant speed removal. Path to Exile Swords to Plowshares etc.
• Similar to above counterspells will help protect you enchanted creature and stop problems from hitting the board.
• If you do not like counterspells perhaps Brave the Elements effects or things like Valorous Stance or Sheltering Light etc.
• Board wipes are also useful in stopping decks that go wide from getting out of hand.
• If you want to keep your removal enchantment based Prison Term is good and you go further into Pacifism efects and/or Oblivion Ring effects.
• Idyllic Tutor and Plea for Guidance are a couple tutors to consider.
• Sram, Senior Edificer is another enchantress effect for auras.
• Some artifact ramp to speed your deck up could be good. Primarily 2 cmc rocks to play before your general. ex. Sol Ring Azorius Signet Talisman of Progress Fellwar Stone
• If you don't like the mana rock idea perhaps you could hate on other peoples. ex. Stony Silence Kataki, War's Wage Aura of Silence
• Sun Titan , Restoration Specialist , and Retether provide some more recursion.
• Sigarda's Aid is a staple in aura/equipment based decks.
• You seem to have most of the auras I like in the deck already but a few to consider are Flickering Ward , Gryff's Boon , Shielded by Faith , and Battle Mastery
• It might be worth branching into equipment for utility, Lightning Greaves and Swiftfoot Boots add some much needed haste.
• Last but not least Bastion Protector is good at both protecting your general and upping his power.

Hopefully some of this is helpful.
