wallisface on Should the Number of Mana …

legendofa as you mention, trying to directly compare rarer cards can be tricky due to lots of effects being unique. But also due to the natural power-creep of magic making comparing cards across years difficult/muddy.

I think people feel like they have a particular grasp on what extra pips constitute in a card, but it’s difficult to back up those feelings in a factual way that’s not going to have an equal measure of counterpoints.

My own feeling on colour-pips is not that they add any additional “power” to a card, but instead add weight to “how much in-colour does this feel”. Cards like the before-mentioned Seasoned Pyromancer doesn’t feel any better than Fable of the Mirror-Breaker  ^Flip (Fable is the stronger card in many cases), but Pyromancer feels a lot more red in its effects.

My personal inkling is that cards with more pips in a certain colour tend to exhibit more “pure” effects true to a colour, and many of these effects may be scarcely seen in single-pip-variants. That doesn’t mean they’re stronger, just that they have a slightly different set of tools.

wallisface I think this can be resolved by looking at rarity. The most obvious examples I found were mostly common, with a couple of uncommon. At those rarities, there aren't that many different effects, and direct comparison is easy. Constructed formats tend to lean more on rares and unique uncommons, with a healthy splash of mythic rares. At these rarities, there's much more complexity, so it's harder to directly compare cards. In, for example, Modern Boros, is Seasoned Pyromancer a better card than Fable of the Mirror-Breaker  ^Flip? Is either one better than Affinity's Pinnacle Emissary? They have different effects and fill different roles. My position is that where cards can be differentiated solely by color weight, like in my examples above, the card with more color weight creates a bigger/better effect. Genuine question, are there any cards at higher rarities that are so directly comparable? Are the any examples of competitive-tier card comparisons where lower color weight produces a more desirable effect?

Lightning is sooooo good!! Couple nice includes could be Kellan, the Fae-Blooded, Fable of the Mirror-Breaker  ^Flip and an underrated choice in my opinion is Remember the Fallen.

Check out my boros build Still Stuffy!!

Wow! What great suggestions, jessesl66! It's been a while since I got suggestions so good! While I get what you're saying about cutting white, I really like Burning-Tree Emissary with Ephemerate and, I should have added this to the Hubs before, but this is meant to be geared toward multiplayer matchups where removal is more frequent and having a response more important. I'm a little less convinced with Fable of the Mirror-Breaker  ^Flip because it doesn't have a double red MV (not as helpful towards devotion) and the one thing it really helps with (essentially doing the same thing as Ephemerate) takes a lot more mana to cast and time to get to. I'm definitely going to add Burning-Tree Emisary though, and I might fork this deck again to play with Fable of the Mirror-Breaker. Thanks so much!

I really like this idea and I might try to build a version. I might replace Wily Goblin with Burning-Tree Emissary. It combos with Harmonic Prodigy to give you a free 4-drop and is a 2/2 instead of a 1/1.

I also feel like the white isn't doing enough here. I know ephemerate is really good here, but Fable of the Mirror-Breaker  ^Flip copies stuff, which also sets the ETB triggers off, and creates a token that combos with Harmonic Prodigy too. I'd suggest getting rid of Boros Charm, Path to Exile, Ephemerate, and Late to Dinner, and adding in 4 Fable of the Mirror Breaker and 2 more Lightning Bolts. Once you take out the dual lands, this might actually end up bringing the overall cost down.

wallisface on Brew ideas for Scrawling Crawler

1 year ago

From the upcoming Foundations set, the card Scrawling Crawler will be printed - a link to the card here.

While this doesn’t immediately look even remotely competitive in Modern, I think there might be something niche/interesting we can do with it that can still be competitively viable.

So, i’m wanting to see any and all Modern-brews people can conjure up starring this card as the build-around. Let’s see if we can make this card (almost) playable!!

Some idea’s i’ve had so far:

• there’s potential to combine this with Orcish Bowmasters or Sheoldred, the Apocalypse to really punish card drawing.

• cards like Burning Inquiry or Echo of Eons might be useful to force a bunch of damage.

• this card gets exponentially better the more copies of it are in play. Something like Birthing Ritual might be useful for getting these onto the battlefield, or the flipside of Fable of the Mirror-Breaker  ^Flip to create additional copies and triggers.

• because the extra draw is during your turn, there’s a chance to take advantage of this with cards like Waste Not and hand-removal.

This looks pretty close conceptually to the until-recently tiered indomitable creativity decks. I think if you are trying to revamp this, looking at those decklists could give some inspiration. Fable of the Mirror-Breaker  ^Flip would be the most obvious include imo since it makes tokens, ramps, and digs, everything you want.
