TehGrief on Trigger ability resolve after source …

1 hour ago

Player A's Storm Crow is equipped with Mage Slayer and attacks, on the attack trigger, Player A casts Unleash Fury on the Storm Crow. Horrified of the consequences, Player B casts Unexpectedly Absent targetting the Storm Crow after the Unleash Fury resolves.

With the Storm Crow no longer on the battlefield, how much damage (if any) does the Mage Slayer trigger cause?

Looks pretty fine! How about Teething Wurmlet, Sardian Avenger and Pain Distributor for some additional tech? Also, Viridian Revel gives you a little card draw.

First a little information about the site. The Q&A is for rules questions. It's not a big deal and I'm sure a mod will be by at some point to move this thread.

I'm assuming that you mean Modern Horizons 3 and English isn't your first language and the name of the set didn't translate well. The set is scheduled to release June 14 with prerelease events starting June 7 and the official spoilers beginning May 21. The full set contents will slowly be previewed between May 21 and June 7, though I'd guess that previews would be done by June 1, but that last date is supposition.

Radiance Overseer

Creature - Angel Cleric (Mythic)

Flash

Flying

When Radiance Overseer enters the battlefield, you may exile target creature or planeswalker who attacked you or targeted you this turn. You gain life equal to its mana value.

6/6


Make a creature, legendary or not, who's name is "Archangel of the Eclipse". If it's legendary, add an angelic name in front of that title.

It must have an Orzhov () identity.

DemonDragonJ Looking deeper at your post, I'd say you are recommending I listen through a full album & play some deep-cuts... Which I think I should, Tyler was extremely talented & not afraid to use Blues/Soul (one of my favorites), so there is probably some more of that shining through in the deep-cuts, as they would not have been the popular sound for the time period, but they undoubtedly would have that element... Sidebar, if you want a really solid Blues revival song: 'The Hook' Blues Traveler is it-my 3-year-old is hilarious trying to sing it.

MollyMab come on with that "nothing in the last 20 years" stuff. Do you expect that they are going to throw out 30+ years of chart-toppers? That seems like an unreasonable expectation for most bands.

If you are a dinosaur like me, experiencing the time period, then you would know that Aerosmith had a revival. So, at least, 2 "haydays" not just the 70's. Certainly the 90's ranging from whenever Wayne's World 2 was around to all those slow songs that dominated WAY too many proms at that time...(that seems like maybe 8 years of relevance in the 90's). I suppose prom time for me would be more pop-punk stuff, but Aerosmith was all over right before that. I am just going to work off memory here, I'd rather not research when I can just run the clock back :)

They had some really solid stuff for their deep cuts, particularly when Tyler embraces his Blues roots. I love 'Amazing' .... Uoh! Ack-ack-ow, silvolobadabadow, oh-ack-ack-ack-ack ow OW!!!! :) "Pink" is good, if not a little bit on-the-nose :)

Niko9 I've always been into the "Raw" sound, that unpolished sound jives with me, just raw emotion without worrying about that choir training & no voice-modulation to fix it yet. The Ramones "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg" is amazing for that raw quality, sometimes David Bowie would do it, obviously Neil Young, The Hives. Then you get into bridging the gap with modulation: The Strokes took some raw punk elements but added that electronic element, by my estimation I can listen to 2 of their albums with all the deep cuts being good.

YouTube, twitch, anything like that.

We tend to have a rather diverse and vibrant community on Tappedout and, in my personal experience, this site seems to be one of the friendlier ones - if not the most welcoming.

Given how nice everyone is here, how many excellent deck builders we have and how diverse we all are not just as individual people but even play styles, I'm legitimately curious.

Has anyone here been featured on gaming channels such as Game Knights or ChannelFireball or anything like that?

Or, if it's okay with yeaGO and other admins, do you have any personal content (Related to MTG of course) you'd like to share such as Twitch handles or anything?

OUT: Evolutionary Escalation, Strionic Resonator, Taurean Mauler

IN: Halana and Alena, Partners, Arwen, Weaver of Hope, Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion

Mauler is a single, slow burn creature with no evasion (unlike the Managorger Hydra already in the list).

The Evolutionary Escalation was a big target and doesn't provide any protection (unlike the Agitator Ant or Orzhov Advokist already in the list).

And Strionic Resonator could be good, but has limited use in this version of the deck.

Each replacement should help keep my deck moving along better than what I took out.

OUT: Lotus Cobra

IN: Lupine Prototype

I got "recd" by EDHRec on this one. Was looking for something to fill a slot while I waited for for the Prototype to come in on order. Cobra only sort of acts like a mana dork early game. The landfall from Gitrog doesn't work with the Cobra, so out it comes.

I realize that the NH3 set doesn't officially come out until June. My question is whether or not we will see a full cards list? This is the first release I have been excited to see, so I don't know how it works.

When there’s free tapping I also go back to look at the “inspired” mechanic, to see if there’s anything there. While not great, this is probably the closest it’s gotten to being worth considering ;p Could be some useful tokens. Satyr Nyx-Smith makes hasties.

jawz on GURW Loot Too Cute

20 hours ago

I'm still tinkering. Something about all the crazy exile play loops feels unique and interesting. Should just trash the deck but... there's something about it.

I feel like Jodah, the Unifier gives a top end threat that it was missing.

One problem with Jodah is that when I'm casting a legend, they're usually mana value 3, and I only have Doc Aurlock, Grizzled Genius to pay off Jodah's trigger. But The Goose Mother is another play at mana value 2 that surprisingly fits in very well with the rest of the deck (especially with Rocco, Street Chef and Aurlock). I always wanted goose mommy to be good somewhere so I'm happy to try it. If you get some food artifacts in play, Loot, the Key to Everything accelerates.

I had to admit that with all the legends I'm kinda committed to a Relic of Legends mana fixer. Once the relic's in play that helps goose mommy too.

With the changes, the threat level of the deck's plays seem to be a good step higher. But the deck is insanely hard to pilot. Sequencing between Jodah's trigger and Kellan's trigger and discover triggers and the Outcaster's card draws and plotting and play from exile and generating foods and on and on. It's harder than combat mathing for real.

There's a good argument for cutting one of the angles. Like cut the adventure stuff, or cut the discover stuff. Or cut the plotting stuff? It's really hard to say.

Thespian Stage and Deserted Temple are decent includes.

Removing even more crime do-ers is out of the question cause that's the point of the deck. I've playtested it a decent bit and it really pops off with repeatable crime. Otherwise it's just a worse Ghoulcaller Gisa deck. I did replace Victory Chimes with Zombie Master though.

As for artifact removal, Gate to Phyrexia would be my first consideration for any black token deck. And even then I don't know if I want it. Rather focus on aggro than control with this.

RiotRunner789 on Void Shatter's Thousand Virulent Cuts

Yes, Ghostly Touch and Hidden Strings can tap or untap (useful politically) your opponents lands.

On ramp/Mana rocks: Most decks have at least a few but it depends on how it plays. You are only running 31 lands and (I think) two Mana dorks, and 1? Mana rock which is low. However, your average CMC is 2.66 which is also pretty low. I'd add a Sapphire Medallion if you have one laying around. Otherwise it should be fine. When you play it, if you seem to get Mana screwed too often then add Sky Diamond, Midnight Clock (great at refilling your hand) or other 2 cost rocks but you shouldn't need to many with how cheap everything in your deck is.

It’s bad when you keep finding things to make your deck better, cool synergies etc, but then accidentally replace the main pieces of your deck to the point where your deck doesn’t work anymore... so those cool things /can’t/ work.

[sic!] Some other standouts are Emmara, Soul of the Accord who when tapped creates a 1/1 soldier with lifelink. So tapping will actually create two tokens. [/sic!]

Just to clarify Emmara, Soul of the Accord and Ghired, Mirror of the Wilds‘s interaction.

The activated ability given by Ghired requires a legal target. Without target the ability cannot be activated. So Emmara cannot tap this way if there is no token that has entered the battlefield this turn and that could be targeted.
But only after activating the ability does Emmara‘s own ability trigger to create a token.

So Emmara does not copy it's own token from that turn, because the token does not yet exist. And Emmara cannot copy its tokens from previous turns, because they didn’t enter this turn.

Emmara can still be great to copy other tokens (as any nontoken creature in this deck), and it can create a consistent army especially with the doublers.

I'm glad I was able to inadvertently point it out. Now for some actual suggestions/thoughts....

Cabal Stronghold - You do not have enough basics to warrant it's inclusion. You need at least 4 basic swamps to make it mana neutral. Assuming you draw 5 basics and stronghold in a row, you only get 1 extra mana. Stronghold is best for budget decks without a lot of non-basics in the mana base. Another potential replacement is Thespian's Stage to copy coffers or opposing utility lands like cradle, nykthos, Crypt of Agadeem, etc... Crypt of Agadeem is also another decent replacement as you run more than 25% creatures. Lastly, my favorite option is Deserted Temple as it allows you to untap your large mana producing lands and has a political aspect as well.

Zombie Master > Zombie Trailblazer - While I understand trailblazer allows you to commit a crime, I feel the redundancy is not needed whereas the protection is super useful. I do understand what most wipes make it so you can't regenerate your creatures, but this is another hurdle for opponents to play around which I believe warrants the swap.

Priest of Forgotten Gods - I get the need for crimes, but the impact of the ability itself really needs to be taken into consideration as well. It's not impactful enough to warrant an inclusion. Perhaps something more on flavor such as Zombie Apocalypse? Mikaeus, the Unhallowed is also a great choice and is a combo enabler

Wayfarer's Bauble - With a deck whose avg cmc is so low, I feel another card in your maybeboard or otherwise could pull more weight. Jeweled Lotus, Mana Crypt or a more budget friendly Mana Vault can help you establish an earlier board presence.

Last thought, I see feed the swarm for enchantment removal, but how do you deal with artifacts? Perhaps an Oblivion Stone might be worth considering depending on the prevalence of artifacts within your meta and how much trouble they give you.

Slurpz on Crouching Kadena, Hidden Phage [Ultimate]

ksleazy - Scroll of Fate has been in and out of this deck since its inception. It does all those things as you say, but I find that it doesn't do enough of any one thing to further me winning to warrant it a slot. Since I want to be able to cast Phage, I tend to want to play all of my lands, and outside of that the only thing I would really want to be manifesting is maybe a Vedalken Orrery or a Final-Word Phantom. The decklist is tight enough at this point that I want be playing my cards over manifesting them. In the case that I have a glut of cards and I can comfortably manifest a land, then the ceiling of what is available with Scroll of Fate is still lackluster. I'd rather a morph or something that gives flash to take the 'Scroll of Fate spot' to keep that part of the deck consistent. I found in my experience that the manifest and get in an unblocked Phage strategy is too clunky and inconsistent to keep it in the deck long term after achieving it once. It's always on my radar though and the recent release of Vannifar, Evolved Enigma prompted some more rounds or testing with it but as I said I didn't find this strategy to be consistent enough for my liking.

Sorry for the paragraph and delayed response but I have spent more time in the shower debating with myself whether Scroll of Fate is worth it than I would like to admit and had to get my thoughts sorted out lol. Glad you liked the deck and thanks for the comment!

Quickspell on Build a Deck with Me …

Hi. Great idea, I’m well entertained!

Here is a thing, I don’t get the following play.

Context:
T1 Sol Ring
T2 Oltec Matterweaver
T3 Ghired, Mirror of the Wilds

[sic!]
Turn 1 you play a plains and a sol ring. Turn 2 you bring this out, turn 3 you bring out Ghired, creating a copy of sol ring, tap your Oltec Matterweaver and create another sol ring.
[/sic!]

Oltec creates a token that’s a copy of an artifact token. It basically populates it. Ghired, too, only allows for creating copies of tokens.
So how does Ghired create a copy of Sol Ring? Where does that copy come from?

Hey man I love the deck. I wanna build something like this to be a fun way to get around my friends decks, which are mostly big creature/control decks. What do you think about Virus Beetle/Blightbeetle for some control, or maybe even Giant Ankheg/Crash of Rhino Beetles/Vorapede for some damage? I know Grist Ult is the main win con, but I was thinking it would be a nice challenge to get 100% insect tribal deck with some win cons of their own. Circuit Mender and Triumph of the Hordes might also be fun. Awesome build tho, you've definitely given me some ideas!
