MagicalHacker on Official MagicalHacker Commander List Update …
6 years ago
Welcome, fellow planeswalkers, to the Official MagicalHacker Commander List Update (OMCLU) for Hour of Devastation!
If you are not aware, I have had lists for commander staple effects for a very long time now, and I have been updating them as new sets are released. Rather than showcasing individual cards that are being used, I instead use these lists to show all cards in categories that have proven to be advantageous to have in Commander. More specifically, these categories of staples are ones that answer certain problems a deck could be experiencing, such as having a hard time against control, not being able to play cards in hand quickly enough, or dealing with problematic commanders. (They can be found on my profile.)
The purpose of this thread is three-fold:
To raise public awareness for these lists (which I know to be extremely useful since I use them more than literally any other resource online when building decks).
To receive feedback about HOU cards that should be added/removed from lists.
To receive feedback about older cards that should be added/removed from lists.
Hour of Devastation is now up on Gatherer, so its now time to go through the process of updating my decks!
MagicalHacker - List of All Draw Cards (Steady):
vizier of the anointed (extremely deck-specific, but technically still worthy of inclusion in all respective decks)
MagicalHacker - List of All Draw Cards (Burst):
Prerequisite wording updated to streamline description.
Razaketh, the Foulblooded was not on the gatherer search for the list, so the gatherer search has been fixed accordingly, which showed two other missing cards on the list.
MagicalHacker - List of All Recursion Cards:
Prerequisite wording updated to streamline deck by dropping cards that cost too much mana when so many other, better options are available.
MagicalHacker - List of All Tutor Cards:
vizier of the anointed
The fact that Planar Bridge was not showing up in the gatherer search for this deck make me add some text to the search to include it and similar cards. No other cards were missing due to this missing text.
MagicalHacker - List of All Protecting Cards:
No HOU cards.
( Coalition Flag )
( Psychic Battle )
MagicalHacker - List of All Board Wipe Cards:
Added text to the gatherer search to include Death Cloud, The Great Aurora, and Duneblast. Also, fixed some broken text that was preventing a few cards from being seen by the gatherer search.
( Call for Blood )
( Ichor Explosion )
MagicalHacker - List of All Ramp Cards:
MagicalHacker - List of All "Tuck" Cards:

I think it looks good, and well designed. I only have little advice to give;
If you plan to go all Vamps, then why not cut the red, then go with Baron Sengir as you General? He is THE Vampire and can buff your other critters, even save them from dying..well..again.
Also, I see you have a copy of Cabal Coffers (very jealous of that one), it makes Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth an auto include.
A wee bit a flavor: Go for the Throat, Call for Blood and Feast of Blood and protects as wellGood luck with your wife's deck _

Hyalopterous Lemure of DEATH

Yup. And because you activate Lemures' ability a bunch of times, its power is -10,000 (or however low you make it).
So when Call for Blood gives a creature -x/-x, what you're really doing is giving one of your creatures -x/-x where x = -10,000 (or whatever you make Lemures' power).
Giving a creature - negative 10k is the same as giving it +10k.
It's jank, it rarely works, and its way too expensive a way to win.
It's also hilarious
Serendipitous_Hummingbird on Does Subtracting a Negative = …
8 years ago
Okay so obviously it does in math, but what about MTG? Here's the scenario: I activate the ability of Hyalopterous Lemure 100 times to give it a P/T of -96/3, then sac it to Call for Blood which we cast targeting a Tormented Soul. This should give the Tormented Soul +96/+96 since you are subtracting a negative, but I can't find any rulings to confirm that you can do this in magic. Can any rules expert help me out here?
