Bothersome Quasit

Creature — Demon

Menace

Goaded creatures your opponents control can’t block.

Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, goad target creature an opponent controls. (Until your next turn, that creature attacks each combat if able and attacks a player other than you if able.)

rtdfjyghc I added an Asceticism to the blocker to prevent Gornog, the Red Reaper and Bothersome Quasit from targeting, so that's accounted for.

I don't remember why I put The Black Gate aside for specifically multiplayer. If I can't come up with the reason, I'll add it in.

legendofa, I've been thinking/researching a bit more and got a couple others. Not sure how helpful "defending creature can't be a xyz type" is, but here are some more.

Boldwyr Intimidator/Gornog, the Red Reaper, Have Archangel of Tithes also be attacking, Bothersome Quasit, probably not worth it as we would be adding green, but could replace Skyblinder Staff with Bower Passage to make our other creatures avoid flying too, Frenetic Raptor, Heat Wave, Problematic Volcano (Playtest), Spitting Dilophosaurus, Twins of Discord, Varchild, Betrayer of Kjeldor, War Cadence Hope these help :)

Crow_Umbra on How to Protect My Creatures …

If you stick with the pillow-fortish route with Powerstone Minefield and Caltrops effects, I'd highly recommend pairing it with Goad. Isshin has some solid Goad options available such as Bothersome Quasit, Vengeful Ancestor, & Seifer, Balamb Rival to name a few. Forcing your opponents into the Minefield trap effects can make them a bit more reliable than hoping they play into them.

Crow_Umbra,

First, on Command Beacon, is the second effect at instant speed? Becuase depending on the answer I could use it to (possibly) negate the +2 general mana cost if I were to place it back into the command zone.

Second, I definitely will replace three of my snow mountains to add Strip Mine, Volatile Fault, & War Room.

Third, I think I will replace Fellwar Stone for Ruby Medallion. Fellwar Stone has a slight condition on helping me get red mana that the opponent has to have a land that produces, or is able to produce, red mana. Might be over dramatic but shrugs.

Fourth, I will definitely add Chandra's Ignition. Along with Bothersome Quasit because it combos well with the goad cards that I do have in my deck. So, that leaves only one "slot" places left (two if I didn't add Command Beacon). I am definitely eye-ing Fling & Cursed Mirror though that would take the last "slot" places, and in other notes Jeska's Will & Valakut Awakening  Flip for their card draw but I wouldn't know what cards to replace for them or any of the other 'Stuff to Consider' cards.

Fifth, on Swap Outs, the second card recommendation the person commented was Liquimetal Torque, so I think I will replace Liquimetal Coating for it, more mana consistency while only a slight debuff on the cheeky main effect. though of course I wouldn't mind if you gave your opinion on that too.

Six, I have two more decks I potentially face, one commanded by Kilo, Apogee Mind, the other commanded by Ashling, the Limitless.

It's all good. That experience was one of the odder interactions I've had in my time here.

Cool, glad you have proxies available to you. I try to hone in any recs based on potential budget.

Even personal play groups develop their own little meta over time. To that end, besides the commanders listed in your primer, are there any others that you regularly encounter?

Here are some ideas I have, I'll put them in accordions so I don't blow up your wall:

Since you have proxies at your disposal, I think you can swap in some more utility lands to get even more value out of some of those basic land slots:

I totally agree that swinging in with a huge Kratos is a fun way to pilot this deck, but I think you can lean more into the forced combat element of it. Since you play against things like Ur-Dragon, Eldrazi, & Sheoldred, forcing them into combat could be super beneficial:

  • Ur-Dragon and (maybe) the Eldrazi, need to get their color fixing right in order to start taking off (assuming this is a five color Drazi), which means they may rely on mana dorks and other smaller utility creatures to help get them running.

  • Sheoldred may be in a similar position, if it isn't a creature or token heavy deck, may have a smaller board that also relies on squishier utility creatures

  • Kratos' damage effect "encourages" opponents to not leave their creatures untapped. Kratos is one big Punisher effect, so your opponents will have to weigh cost benefit of not attacking or tapping their creatures somehow.

  • Red has plenty of access to Goad effects, giving you another means of forcing attacks.

  • All of this is to say that I think the Kratos damage should take a more secondary priority to forced combat control.

I think you've received some solid recommendations from the other comments already on your deck. I'll try not to suggest anything that's already there.

Generally speaking, I think cutting back on red Auras that mostly focus on Kratos could be helpful. Some other standouts that I think can be swapped:

  • Icy Manipulator - Seems kinda slow for a single target effect.

  • Liquimetal Coating - I can see the cheeky line of play with turning something into an artifact in response to a Vandal Blast, but I think this could be another spot for something more consistently beneficial.

One of my homies runs a Deimos deck that's pretty fun, but he doesn't have a list online yet. He does have a Kardur deck that could be another source for forced combat ideas.

Hope this all helped

Idoneity on Commodore Guff is sexy af

1 year ago

Hello hello! Love me a good Guff list. I have some propositions given your description.

To protect your 'walkers, Disrupt Decorum and Taunt from the Rampart each deny your opponents from attacking them for a turn. In the same lens, Bothersome Quasit is a little more pricey but pairs well with your swath of instant-speed interaction.

Do you like your planeswalkers living? Well then I have the cheap solution for you! Fog. It's pretty good, but Green, right? Thankfully, White has some pretty good options that may be right up your alley. To be clear, some of these suck, but there's 15 for you.

Lastly, if you really want to hate out creatures on a budget, try Portcullis. It's terrible to play against. You'll have a great time.

That's all, folk! Maybe one or two of these will make it in, but I enjoyed the deck regardless. Easy +1.

Last_Laugh on Marisi Goad

1 year ago

Not a bad start, but I do have several suggestions to help you get your avg. cmc down. The earlier you can get a goad chain going, the better off you'll be by far with this deck. I'll try to keep things budget friendly and break it down by category. If you're picking up what I'm putting down, I can help suggest some cuts too (but definitely several of your 5+ cmc cards but especially the really expensive 7+ to cast stuff).

Evasive Early Creatures: Bothersome Quasit, Beloved Chaplain, Soltari Foot Soldier, Dryad Sophisticate, Spirit en-Dal, and Mirri, Weatherlight Duelistfoil are all excellent options here.

No Fresh Blockers: Authority of the Consuls and Urabrask the Hidden both prevent your opponents from having new ungoaded creatures to block with. These cards make it almost impossible to get out of being goaded every turn.

Randomness: Shalai, Voice of Plenty is evasive and helps protect you and the rest of your creatures, but most importantly protects Marisi from spot removal. General Marhault Elsdragon makes your opponents not want to block and helps your stuff survive combat if they do. Aragorn, Hornburg Hero is easy to trigger thanks to goad and he will turn your small guys into actual first striking threats. Conclave Evangelist is hilarious here and snowballs out of control fast (all his permanent copies each have myriad and make more copies). Dhalsim, Pliable Pacifist or his universe within version Tadeas, Juniper Ascendant is another draw engine on an evasive body.

I could go on, but don't want to overwhelm you. Feel free to check out my Marisi list for more ideas. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Marisi the Pimp - (Combat) Trickin' Hoes

Crow_Umbra on Nightmare Blunt Rotation

No prob! I will preface that most of my experience with Goad primarily comes from the Mardu slice of the options available. In case you want to look at a more comprehensive list of the various Goad options in all colors.

From my own personal experience, I'd recommend the following:

  • Bothersome Quasit - Fairly low to the ground & not color intensive for your deck. Also helps open up aggro lanes for additional chaos.

  • The Sound of Drums - I'd recommend something like this or Ghoulish Impetus, which can both be replayed, while the other Impetus cards are kinda one & done once the creature they're on dies.

  • Disrupt Decorum - A pretty classic & budget option.

  • Nelly Borca, Impulsive Accuserfoil - She can Suspect/Goad creatures repeatedly as long as she sticks around. Her draw ability also incentivizes and rewards your opponents to smack each other, which can play into that chaotic feeling.

  • Vengeful Ancestor - Another repeatable Goad option

  • Karazikar, the Eye Tyrantfoil - Opens up aggro lanes and also forcibly rewards/incentivizes your opponents to attack each other.

  • Taunt from the Rampart

They're all pretty fun options to try out. If you ever want to build a straight up Goad deck, I highly recommend giving Nelly Borca a try, she's a lot of fun.
