Lordmax606 on The Undisputed Rasputin

1 week ago

Rasaru - updated the list to reflect what I am currently running with. Big changes including new power like Displacer Kitten/Glasspool Mimic  ^Flip/Chromatic Orrery/Lae'zel's Acrobatics. Invested more into Stifle effects (Tale's End, Trickbind, Disallow, Sublime Epiphany) which power up our flicker-removal value via countering the delayed trigger, some direct upgrades/substitutions (eg: Rout --> Vanquish the Horde, Sanctum Gargoyle --> Archaeomender, Fact or Fiction --> Memory Deluge), and finally caved to the mainboard Eldrazi Displacer.

Updated the deck tech and tutor targets to reflect the mainboard more accurately, added more details about why Stifle effects over raw Counterspell.

Thanks for checking it out, let me know what y

Grind on PhelddaTron (Group Thug)

Cool deck!!!
Disallow and Arcane Signet seem like strictly better slot ins over voidslime and any talisman.
Could consider Spara's Headquarters over one of your 2color taplands.
Also im not convinced on spear of heliod- i would consider replacing it with a stronger buff or removal like Akroma's Will, Rout, Generous Gift or something.
Anyway just some thoughts, cheers and have fun!!!

DemonDragonJ on How Can I Put Ertai …

2 months ago

I plan to put the new Ertai Resurrected into these three decks, since he is very versatile, and those decks support his colors, but I am not certain which cards to remove to make room for him.

I most likely shall have him replace an exisitng counterspell, such as Disallow or Undermine, since he renders such spells redundant.

What does everyone else say about this? How can I put Ertai resurected into my decks?

Absolutely, happy to offfer thoughts. Also in general i prefer any of Arcane Denial, Swan Song, Disallow, Delay, or Void Shatter over cancel.

ILuvMtg on It's Just a Flesh Wound (Budget Meren)

ThatWeirdPerson, I had to think about this one, but I think that if you sacrifice Protean Hulk to Morbid Curiosity, then they can still use a Disallow or Tale's End to counter Protean Hulks trigger, but if they counter Morbid Curiosity then protean hulk gets the trigger. But don't take my word for it.

I also just realized I'm dumb because I misread Protean Hulk and thought that you get to put ALL creatures with mana cost of 6 or less on the battlefield, which just seemed ubsurd. But no, there was one word that I missed.

DawnsRayofLight on Ur Mama, Mother of Dragons

I definitely think Ancient Brass Dragon has a spot, it could help you reanimate your dragons (as well as whatever you grab from your opponents), I would maybe add that and maybe Goldspan Dragon

Three Visits and Nature's Lore over Cultivate.

Damn over Toxic Deluge

Augur of Autumn might be better than Realmwalker

Drop Aggravated Assault, Aura of Silence, Stinging Study (you have a good chunk of draw as it is), Imposing Grandeur, Spit Flame (there are better cards)

Mana Drain is nice, but I am usually not a fan of it in a deck with 4 or more colors

With this being 5 color, I am trying to debate the best early game package

maybe:

5 counterspells (from below)

An Offer You Can't Refuse, Swan Song, Wash Away, Dovin's Veto, Counterflux, Render Silent, Disallow

4-5 board wipes

Damn, Cyclonic Rift, Winds of Abandon, Supreme Verdict, Crux of Fate

7 2 drop ramps (need all)

Arcane Signet, Fellwar Stone, Farseek, Three Visits, Nature's Lore, Bloom Tender, Coiling Oracle,

4 spot removal

Anguished Unmaking, Assassin's Trophy, Despark, Beast Within, Generous Gift, Fracture, Bedevil, Abrupt Decay

Potosyntesis on Lots of Clues

Into the Roil, Druid's Deliverance and Sundering Growth seems to be a good fit for sideboard, I think counters should be sorted with Metallic Rebuke and Disallow in the main board, however the cost effectiveness of AEtherize and Aetherspouts dont really fit

legendofa on Scarab God UB Zombie Tribal

Wraths and board wipes are always a good idea, and Zombies in particular can recover quickly. Deadly Tempest and Languish are reasonable budget options.

For counterspells, Counterspell is a classic. Brine Shaman could be a cute trick, as long as you keep the Zombies coming. Countersquall adds a touch of damage on. Disallow is a little more expensive, but hits pretty much everything. Diplomatic Escort, Wizard Replica, Spiketail Drake, and Siren Stormtamer are inexpensive options that can fill your graveyard with creatures.
