kamarupa on Balaam__'s Challenge: Get Twisted

2 months ago

I know High Tide is a bit, let's say, "conditional" but I like that it only costs 1 to cast, which allows it to be [marginally] useful to cast counterspells in a pinch. Which I know Extraplanar Lens would too, except on the turn I cast Extraplanar Lens, which would presumably be as early as possible, but that's also often the most critical time to have mana available to counterspell. Does that make sense?

I'm certainly not in love with Ponder and Fabricate - so maybe it makes sense to drop at least a copy or two of those in favor of something like Blue Sun's Zenith? Do you have other draw card/tutor spells that would help me get Eon Hub + Reality Twist + Back to Basics into play?

Perhaps it makes sense to have 1-2 copies of High Tide and 1-3 copies of Extraplanar Lens?

Thanks so much for the +1, approval, and thoughtful critique, Balaam__. I agree wholeheartedly.

My thoughts were: There's a not a lot of room for card draw and the deck has too many needs to be as narrow as Fabricate is, but there with no narrow enchantment tutors or broad any-card tutors, the deck has to make do with what is available. To some degree, the deck has to rely on the control spells to carry it through until it hits what it needs. Whether Ponder and Fabricate are the right combination - I have little faith they are - but a bit more faith the numbers (7 total) are in the right ballpark.

Similarly, Fog Bank isn't really what I wanted either. I actually would have preferred just a plain old Fog but no such spell exists for blue that I'm aware of or could find.

It's true that Back to Basics interferes with Academy Ruins, but I don't think that's actually a [major] problem - Back to Basics should make it a lot harder for opponents to remove Eon Hub. And, if some opponents are having too much success, there's always Illusionary Terrain in the sideboard to further flummox their land base.

I think a big part of this deck's problem - I did some playtesting to tune it and judge efficacy, etc - is that it has a lot of parts - decks such as this tend to be finicky and even with a lot of coaxing will sometimes just refuse to cooperate. Given the spell I was working with, I'd say I was successful, but if I were to grade the deck objectively, it's probably a C+.

Flarhoon13 on Breya's House of Mirrors

5 months ago

May 3, 2024 I started a new quest. Having built 52 decks, I endeavoured to play them all, in roughly the same order as I created them.

June 14

Breya's House of Mirrors won. 14-11. Won a long game via Scrap Mastery. Really, though, it was Shorikai, Genesis Engine's card advantage and graveyard stocking. Sharuum the Hegemon reanimated Filigree Angel. Used Fabricate to find Ashnod's Altar, Oswald Fiddlebender got Nim Deathmantle. and Sphinx Summoner had gotten a Myr Battlesphere all the way back on turn four .560 Combo kill 5

xraider on Pramikon the wall of Stax

A few suggestions for losing the few friends who still want to play Magic with you: With Suppressor Skyguard or Mystic Barrier in combination with Pramikon, Sky Rampart, your opponent can’t attack you anymore. Cards like Archon of Absolution, Blazing Archon, Windborn Muse, Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs, Archangel of Tithes, and Baird, Steward of Argive can also stop attacks from your opponent and are definitely worth checking out.

Since I see you’re playing a lot of enchantments and artifacts, I’d recommend including some tutors like Idyllic Tutor, Fabricate, or Enlightened Tutor. I’d also suggest a few pieces of removal, such as Cyclonic Rift, Path to Exile, and Swords to Plowshares. Finally, consider adding Esper Sentinel for taxing and card draw.

Craeter on Burakos the Salty Sailor

Nice theme, love it. If you're concerned about removal, have you considered adding more Counterspell options? Also Spellseeker, Mystical Tutor.

Mechanized Production + Treasure is a pretty dang cool win con, maybe Diabolic Tutor to help search for it. Or Fabricate to search for Strionic Resonator.

Anyway good work, {U}{B} pirate theme is fitting and Burakos fills that role nicely as captain. Looks fun

Craeter on Grandma's Cookies

I like the theme, pretty funny. Seems that Fractured Identity and the Trample Shovel are missing from the decklist, it's short 1 card so maybe you accidentally missed them?

If the deck is reliant on specific cards like Font of Mythos, it could benefit from some Tutor to help ensure you get it. I see you have Enlightened Tutor, which is good. Fabricate and Mystical Tutor should also be considered if you haven't already.

Azoth2099 on Wizard tribal Big X spells

1 year ago

Ahh yes, Wizard tribal. Amazing. Here's some cards to tutor, draw & ramp your way to victory with:

Mystical Tutor, Personal Tutor, Solve the Equation, Gamble, Fervent Mastery & Vedalken AEthermage are worth considering as tutors here imo. Most of the other tutors in this color combo are Artifact tutors like Fabricate, Reshape & Reckless Handling...which I suppose could end up playing into a revamped strategy here as the deck develops, who knows?

For draw, Windfall, Wheel of Misfortune (& Wheel of Fortune if you're cut like that), Tolarian Winds, & Decaying Time Loop are all great with this commander. Cantrips like Ponder & Brainstorm should probably make the cut as well, it's hard to top that value for 1 mana.

As far as ramp, I always try to roll with at least 10 mana rocks, a handful of rituals & perhaps a few cost reducers when I'm within {U}{R}, depending on the your deck's mana curve. I know that sounds extreme, but I swear it makes your deck awesome, especially the more it develops. As the quality of each card goes up over time, consistent ramp becomes more and more important.

Also, some combo pieces to pair with Dualcaster Mage wouldn't hurt either. Twinflame, Heat Shimmer & Ghostly Flicker all work, the former 2 are definitely more synergistic with your current list though.

I could yap about various bangers for this commander like Bribery & Acquire all day, but I'll stop here unless you request more.

Lastly, a bit of bad news...Vadrik, Astral Archmage is the best {U}{R} commander for big X spells lol, he's insane. I might even say that he's the best one in that color combo in general.

Cheers!
