FormOverFunction on Should the Number of Mana …

9 minutes ago

I feel like this is sort of a “a little bit of column A, a little bit of column B” situation. I think of card strength as being on a sliding scale, with colorless things being VERY basic and utilitarian, one-pip cards being sort of a generic colored mana spell, and then multiple-mono-colored pip cards as being stronger (like what you’re saying, DemonDragonJ). They’re stronger, though, because they’re cast at the exclusion of other colored spells, because the land requirements are tighter. A multi-colored pips spell, though, is (theoretically) better because you’re getting two distinctly color-separate effects. Lightning Helix was probably the first multicolored card I saw like that, that really struck home the idea of “oh, of course. Red for damage, white for life gain. Neat.” The upside is you get both a Lightning Bolt and a Healing Salve (sort of) in just one card… and the downside is that one Counterspell stops everything. Now that I’m typing it out, I think I’m in the camp of “more colored pips generally should mean it’s stronger” but mono colored spells seem more complicated, as if you make it TOO strong then people will revert back to all-monocolored decks, like (I can’t get back to the screen to see who I’m responding after… I’m sorry) was saying. Drain Life is the best example I can think of, where you are severely limited by color. It’s a GREAT card, and I love the theme, but I can’t remember the last time I saw someone use it. WotC has worked really hard to make everything a two or three color minimum, commander and otherwise, so I don’t expect we’ll see much of a resurgence in mono color power. Except for green. Green has always been VERY proud of itself ;p This is why we need more forest walk.

Approach of Zarion

Legendary Sorcery

Suspend 6, Storm

~ does 6 damage.

Before the alignment, the body of Zarion will break from its orbit and rush to another planet, destroying it in the process. She has taken two of Raz's planets and one of mine in this way.

One of many celestial event before the Great Alignment. Make another card for a festival of some kind

legendofa, I’ve got to admit… the idea of putting walls in your deck as an answer to huge creatures like that makes me embarrassingly excited.

DemonDragonJ on Diabolical Machinations

I have replaced Crosis, the Purger with Sol'Kanar the Tainted, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 4.26 to 4.24, which is great, because Crosis simply required too much mana to be effective, so anything that can reduce the mana curve of this deck is very nice.

I have replaced Temple Bell with Xira Arien, because Xira is such an unusual and interesting card, and I am aware that she is much more vulnerable than is the bell and that her ability also costs more mana than does that of the bell, but this deck has numerous ways to profit from creatures dying and also to revive creature that have died, so that shall not be a major concern, for me. Unfortunately, I am not certain if I can find room to put Xira, the Golden Sting into this deck, because she would be rgeat, in it.

Venum on OctoCLASH (Marvo)

Marvo is my favorite commander because it's coming out STRONG from nowhere and is not a META Cedh. I love using mechanic that aren't too popular or cause my opponents to be surprised.

I thought about the signet and talisman, and I am still thinking of it. Didn't put them in my version 2 coming, but i might need to unless i add enough double-sided.

I don't want to add too many cantrips since the version 2 will mostly focus on getting Peer into the Abyss from any tutor and cast it for free with Marvo's clash ability. Once i have half my deck in my hand, I can cast any card that gives me no maximum hand size. If i don't win that turn or next one with half my deck in hand... I'll take the loss like a champ

Yes, both Terrasymbiosis and Danny Pink are one time use. But Terrasymbiosis counts for each counter. So if 3 counters are put at once, I draw two cards. Danny Pink gives the ability to each creature. So with 2 or more creatures out, that is a draw-two (or more) effect.
