Apoptosis on Wheel in the Sky

1 week ago

Updated!

Out are cards that help opponents or don't have ideal synergy or add to the major mechanics: Anvil of Bogardan, Horn of Greed, Dictate of Kruphix, Howling Mine, Temporal Mastery, Time Warp, Smoke, Sign in Blood, Mystic Retrieval, Dismal Backwater, Doom Blade, Damnable Pact.

In (reanimation theme and some targets for reanimation): Exhume (not 100% on this one), Soul Exchange (idealy would want one that could target all graveyards), Dance of the Dead, Animate Dead, Liliana of the Veil, Necromancy, Sire Of Insanity (bomb that minimizes opponent's ability to profit from the wheel), Mangara's Tome (I love this as a way to stack all of my reanimation cards, or anything else that I want to protect from my own wheel effects. Curious to see how it plays. The sceptor is included for the same reason), Sepulchral Primordial, Diluvian Primordial, and Molten Primordial.

Need to get an Academy Ruins.

Icbrgr on Using Disrupting Shoal

This is just something I've been playtesting and am basically trying to solve "How do I safely tap out to play Platinum Angel without it Dying to Doom Blade?"

I know this is jank but this is what got me looking at and thinking about Disrupting Shoal in general... and then I was trying to figure out if the was a card you just jammed in a deck list or if it was a card you would build around like planning/anticipating to pitch 1MV/2MV/3MV spells,

I recently heard of a way to play Eutropia with spells such as Broken Wings and Hurricane to basically play Simic Doom Blade tribal. Sounds like a cheap way.

Welcome to the club, Floop-The-Pig!

My first thought here is Chain of Smog. On top of being another discard spell, you can repeatedly target yourself with Professor Onyx out to get a full life drain from all your opponents.

Doom Blade doesn't excite me, unless you know your opponents won't be running black. I've never used Temple of the False God, but it has kind of a reputation as a trap, that looks better than it is. Bojuka Bog is another graveyard exile effect that I recommend.

Also consider adding some more mass removal. Something like Black Sun's Zenith or Toxic Deluge would help clean up all the creatures that get through your discard effects.

Y'all missed the best part: the Doom Blade has a typo! "Destroy targeet nonblack creature" lmao

I agree he's a bit too powerful. However, I do not think he is off the curve considering power creep. Commander games tend to end quicker now, so a 5 CMC Commander is harder to pull off. I feel the ward was to try and protect the players investment.

I don't look forward to playing against him and paying 5 mana for a Doom Blade. However, he still dies to board wipes and subsequently he needs board presence to get the pay off, so he's especially susceptible to wipes.

Kootaroo on Glissa the Traitor

7 months ago

I know last updated 4 years ago at the time of leaving this comment. still thought id maybe leave a suggestion or two. before I say anything Id like to say the glissa deck you have seems fun and is very different than mine. that isnt a bad thing i enjoy seeing alternate takes. she is/was my first commander deck i built as well.

Jhoira's Toolbox, by no means do I hate this card. might I suggest Welding Jar. Jhoira's cost 2 to cast, then another 2 to regenerate a target. Welding jar is 0, and Sac to Regen target. the obvious downsides and benefits are that Jhoira doesnt have to sac itself to regenerate. however it is specific to artifact creatures. Welding jar targets any artifact.

Doom Blade, i would replace with Assassin's Trophy. either or is fine imho.

Some cards i would suggest maybe but i dont have any replacement ideas would be, Grist, the Hunger Tide, Casualties of War, Ashes to Ashes, Grisly Salvage, Skullclamp.

by no means do you have to listen to any of my card suggestions as i said above i have no recommendations for what to remove for those cards. just some food for thought.

i used to run Triskelion in my deck i dont anymore tho. Myr Battlesphere is another card i used to run but took out as well. neither of them are bad by any means. i just removed them arbitrary reasons.

side note, it always makes me happy to see Disciple of the Vault. dont see that card too much these days!

TehGrief on Retargetting and Ward Triggers

8 months ago

I control Storvald, Frost Giant Jarl and Spellskite, my opponent casts Doom Blade on Storvald, paying the 3 mana for the ward.

If I activate Spellskite, changing the target, does the opponent have to pay the 3 mana for ward again?
