Bookrook on Pattern Recognition #352 - Momir …

3 months ago

berryjon thanks! I swear I’m not a WOTC employee and had no clue that this event was going to start. I played a game where I got pretty much the best stuff possible. I got Dinrova Horror into Toxril, The Corrosive into Griselbrand into Blazing Archon. My opponent just conceded at that point. I was looking for more of the Momir strategy than raw gameplay. Don’t get me wrong, I love that you made an entire article with over a half hour of gameplay just on my request, thank you. Do you know any strategy that helps you win more matches? “I’ll take the murderous rider because I’m a bastard.” That quote will inspire me forever.

Flarhoon13 on Gay Kings can win through love

5 months ago

Having completed my quest to play all 52 of my decks, I decided to try getting a win with all of my decks

Sep 27

Gay Kings can win through love... And they did. Ramped and got beaten down by Syr Ginger, the Meal Ender before stabilizing with a Blazing Archon. Jesse's -2 of Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge made us each lose about 18 life, killing Josh (Ginger). My Kraum, Ludevic's Opus *f-etch* attacked wearing Empyrial Armor. Will attacked Jesse for 30 and I used Reins of Power to finish him with Will's Selesnya fatties. Will was at six and Valakut Exploration plus Psychosis Crawler was enough to finish him, after a Constant Mists saved my life, raising my losers' record to 7-15

xraider on Pramikon the wall of Stax

A few suggestions for losing the few friends who still want to play Magic with you: With Suppressor Skyguard or Mystic Barrier in combination with Pramikon, Sky Rampart, your opponent can’t attack you anymore. Cards like Archon of Absolution, Blazing Archon, Windborn Muse, Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs, Archangel of Tithes, and Baird, Steward of Argive can also stop attacks from your opponent and are definitely worth checking out.

Since I see you’re playing a lot of enchantments and artifacts, I’d recommend including some tutors like Idyllic Tutor, Fabricate, or Enlightened Tutor. I’d also suggest a few pieces of removal, such as Cyclonic Rift, Path to Exile, and Swords to Plowshares. Finally, consider adding Esper Sentinel for taxing and card draw.

If you're dead set on Celestial Convergence, Axis of Mortality, Mirror Universe, or the much worse Soul Conduit are probably entirely essential to your gameplan. They are also searchable with your signature spell

Moat, Magus of the Moat, and Blazing Archon, Mystic Barrier and Ensnaring Bridge are also good ideas for your pillow fort. Ghostly Prison is nice, but these effects are always better when multiplied. Windborn Muse and Norn's Annex are also good ones.

Cosmic Intervention and similar spells are probably good ideas too.

Relic Barrier and Icy Manipulator are best friends with Winter Orb and Static Orb

Solemnity instakills

Ferropede?

Nyx-Fleece Ram is better than some of your walls, Daxos, Blessed by the Sun probably is too.

Dusk / Dawn is your best board wipe in my opinion. Also reanimates almost every card in your deck.

Renounce and Zuran Orb are good ideas to dodge mass removal or suddenly gain the life you need to win.

Add Reprieve. it is temporary, but it will allow you to dodge a counter, or you could use it to bounce your own about-to-be-countered spell back to your hand before the counter resolves.

Elixir of Immortality? might help against mill. not great though.

The One Ring costs life if you need it to draw, but pro everything is probably more than worth it, and the extra cards are likely to be as well.

Imaginary_Friend777 on Marchesa, Forced Combat

Hey, I just built a very similar deck and had a couple suggestions. Have you thought about a couple cards like Ghostly Prison or Windborn Muse to keep you safe early? Blazing Archon is great, but it is more of a late game threat. You have a lot of global forced combat like Goblin Diplomats and Avatar of Slaughter, so you want to make sure those effects don't come at you. You can also achieve this with political pieces like Shadrix Silverquill or Loran of the Third Path. One more thing, I like to have on hand are some surprising wincons like Delirium for big commanders and Incite Rebellion for big boards. Definitely some cool ideas here!

TheVectornaut on Goaded creatures may attack Planeswalkers?

2 years ago

Edit: I looked at some old rules questions, and it looks like my answer is still mostly correct. However, the words "if able" in the rules for goad do allow planeswalkers to become the only valid attack options in the rare circumstance that all players the goaded creature would normally be forced to attack are not able to be attacked (via an effect like Blazing Archon's).

Niko9 on Card Arts With Blindfolds?

Blazing Archon because riding a big kitty is awesome : ) Sorry for double posting. My brain isn't awake yet.

Valakut Awakening  ^Flip, Fire Prophecy and See Beyond are good ways to reshuffle Emrakul back.

Aquatic Incursion provides Hexproof creatures to prevent removal on them.

Boseiju, Who Shelters All also can make your combo uncounterable.

I don't think you need the 4 Emrakuls... only 2. Unless you intend on playing Through the Breach MD or SB.

I see the Mass Polymorph in there. Have you tried making a deck dedicated to it instead? (A deck that doesn't necessarily brings ONLY JUST Emrakul). Mass Polymorph has the potential to win the game on the spot withXenagos, God of Revels, Iona, Shield of Emeria, Archon of Cruelty, Blazing Archon, Platinum Angel entering the board on the same time :V
