Mave on If I turn creatures into …

9 months ago

I was looking into some ways to avoid finality counters on creatures and stumbled over Tatterkite who in theory will never enter with a finality counter. I used cards like Mirrorweave, [[card:Shapesharer] and [[card:Sakashima's Will] a lot in the past and since I have decks that put lots of finality counters on my creatures I wondered if I can simply turn all my creatures into Tatterkite until end of turn to get a pseudo Aether Snap (for counters on creatures only) in a mono blue or UW deck. Another case with similar interactions would be: I have a creature with a finality counter on it now I equip Blade of Shared Souls or Assimilation Aegis to the creature and turn it into Tatterkite for as long as the equipment is attached to it. Will the creature lose the finality counter by becomming Tatterkite? Not sure if Tatterkites oracle text changed to be more akin to Solemnity if it simply works like Solemnity and not like a static effect that says there can't be counters on this permanent.

Arcane Adaptation could turn your praetors into gods to fetch them with The World Tree. Same with Conspiracy.

Resurgent Belief would add an endgame opponents would be afraid of.

Aether Snap would reset your saga counters.

Cleansing Meditation would be helpful in the mirror or just generally helpful against enchantments.

Virulent Plague hoses most tokens permanently until its removed. Aether Snap deals with all token and counters on permanents. Key point is it doesnt remove poison counters from players.

I use Archfiend of Depravity in my Kaalia of the Vast deck to deal with big wide decks myself. Unless all those things have haste, this hoses their board each turn.

Just my initial thoughts if they help :)

Ooh, wheel punishment fun. Here are some thoughts of varying budget levels:

• Memory Jar is a great wheel effect, and comboing with Sheoldred means 14 damage right off the bat. You could also think about Teferi's Puzzle Box, cheaper-price wise and is effectively a wheel every turn. (I use this to great effect in my Nekusar, the Mindrazer EDH.)
• Wound Reflection and/or Archfiend of Despair will multiply damage and life loss, and not just from Sheoldred. (Use them both for extra fun!)
• In terms of board wipes, The Meathook Massacre, Toxic Deluge, Damnation, and Oblivion Stone are all within color and all very brutal. Living Death is a bit of a strange boardwipe, but can be quite handy. Murderous Rider is also good for pinpoint removal with an upside., and Aether Snap might also be useful depending on your playgroup.
• Tutors are good things to get your stuff, but many that I would recommend (Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, and Imperial Seal) are price-wise quite high. Diabolic Intent and Grim Tutor, however, are much less expensive, though, and recently reprinted, so maybe worth a thought.
• If reanimating is a thing you want to do, The Cauldron of Eternity is maybe worth a thought.
• Field of Ruin and Demolition Field are good pinpoint land removal tools that don't really cost you anything. (Because there are some lands that need to die.) You could also use Fabled Passage, Prismatic Vista, Evolving Wilds, and Terramorphic Expanse as other land fetches to also load up your graveyard for whatever shenanigans you plan (and for deck thinning).
• Snugglemuffin–er, Phyrexian Obliterator is great in any mono-black deck. Not only is it cute and adorable, but it's very hard to deal with.
• If you can have a reliable source of sacrificial victims (eg. Reassembling Skeleton or Bloodghast, for instance), Contamination is maybe worth a thought. Your opponents will "love" you forever when their lands only tap for one black mana at a time.

DrukenReaps on Looking at Battles, possibly a …

So as the title, thinking about a Gimmicky theme deck around Battles. Not sure if there's anything worth building there yet though... What I've got so far is as follows-

36 total Battles making a 5 color deck possible but no 5 color commanders really have much if any synergy to me. Maybe Omnath, Locus of All for the flavor and connection to {B} Further comments explain why black is important I think.

Each 3 color combination has 17 or 18 Battles, about the minimum to make it feel like a "Battle" deck imo.

So looking at 3/4/5 colors for the deck. With the following cards I think black is the best possible color for it - Vampire Hexmage, Hex Parasite, Cemetery Desecrator, Aether Snap, Marchesa, Resolute Monarch  ^Flip, and Render Inert. There are some things in other colors but they only removed 1 counter at a time. I'd rather remove all or most of them in one cast. Alternate use on these is killing Planeswalkers and making certain commanders sad.

Glissa Sunslayer exists but as a commander she'd only get 11 Battles currently and only 1 of those dies to her trigger. Others take two triggers to kill at least. Maybe with another few sets she becomes much better? If they keep printing Battles...

So Looking towards

{B}{U}{G}- Sultai

{B}{R}{G}- Jund

{B}{R}{U}- Grixis

{B}{W}{G}- Abzan

{B}{W}{R}- Mardu

{B}{W}{U}- Esper

If there are any commanders you think would work well in those colors let me know. Or other things you think would go well in this sort of idea like Dark Depths. I'm thinking commanders that are hard or difficult to block or can cause non-combat damage to any target have the most synergy.

legendofa that's right. It can cast Aether Snap for 5 mana so it's exactly the same cost, but if you don't want Snap, it can be multiple other cards. So it's equal or better than Snap in all situations.

Imagine your opponent has an 8/8 flyer. You die next turn if you just play Snap. Instead you cast BTL grabbing Valki, God of Lies  ^Flip, and cast Tibalt, Cosmic Imposter, exiling the flyer and getting a bonus planeswalker

Or maybe your opponent is affinity or enchantress. Then grab Fracturing Gust with BTL (postboard).

Or sometimes you grab Magus of the Moon and the opponent can never cast spells.

I don't fully understand the utility of Bring to Light. Is it just to find Aether Snap, or Supreme Verdict or one of the two creatures as needed?

Aether Snap is another counter removal.
