ju009x on EDH: Marchesa's Game of Thrones

He joriiiii12345,

Nice to see my old cards have a nice home now ^_^!

Since I came back to magic but cant really play against you right now, I thought I might be able to give some suggestions.

In you recent update you were saying you're thinking about Coalition Relic, this got me thinking about your manaramp. This got me looking at the amount of manaramp cards you're running and their manacosts. In my opinion I would always try to have 10 manaramp cards. Right now your running 9 which includes Chromatic Lantern. But because your commander has a conferted manacost of 4 I suggest running more two manacasting ramp cards, like Coldsteel Heart, Talisman of Creativity, Fellwar Stone and Arcane Signet. I would add two of these, maybe cutting Chromatic Lantern and a non ramp card. this makes it possible to play Marchesa, the Black Rose on turn three. This option is always nice even tho your deck, like you wrote, doesn't always need her.

I would consider adding two more lands (you're running 35) while with an average manacost of 3.44 I would run 37 lands. I would also change some basic lands around to get your manacolor circle diagram a little better.

As for carddraw, I would consider adding two more. You're currently running 8, I would try to moke this 10 to make the deck more consistent. Have you considered Baleful Strix? This a nice carddraw effect in the deck, easy to use in the early turns. It even has a nice flying deathtough body! Apart from that consider running Windfall and Fact or Fiction. both have the added benefit of filling the yard. Which would make adding Dread Return even better.

I would also consider running one or more extra targeted removal spells/ counter spells. to help against the possible graveyard hate (which I will run next time!).

Apart from these small changes the deck looks great! but you wrote you didn't like the expensive tutors. maybe consider adding Scheming Symmetry and Wishclaw Talisman. Both are cheap, fair and have the added benefit of some nice politicking!

I'm hitting myself for saying this but, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker is a nice fit for the deck. the combo with Zealous Conscripts, but even apart from that the copy it makes can give you more etb effect and sacrifice fodder. Which makes it a very nice addition to the deck.

I hope some of these suggestions won't make it into the deck just because, I will have to play against it. But even if they will, looking forward to playing again!

P.S. I think you're missing a card (current cards: 99).

P.S.S. You're maybe board has some duplicates :)

ju009x on Yarok, who let the lands out?!

He fmastrome2008 (or anyone else of course),

Hope I'm not bugging you, I was thinking of cutting some carddraw because I added Sire of Stagnation and Ice-Fang Coatl. I'm debating Sylvan Library or Fact or Fiction or maybe even both and add Elvish Visionary or Fblthp, the Lost. What do you think?

Kogarashi on What happens when a card ...

More directly, in multiplayer, when dealing with the ability, you choose which opponent will be making the guess.

It's like using Fact or Fiction in multiplayer: as the ability resolves, you choose which opponent "an opponent" is. It's not targeted, so your opponent having protection or hexproof won't prevent you from selecting them.

The primary difference is that with effects that use the stack, at least, targets are selected when the spell/ability is put on the stack, while effects like Six-y Beast and Fact or Fiction that don't say "target" are selected when the effect resolves (or at another appropriate time, such as with Six-y Beast.

GoblinElectromancer on Lutri's spellbook

I love the idea of Lutri, the Spellchaser in modern. This deck has way too much land. Cut three or four and cut the tapped lands. Play 4 Steam Vents and 4 Sulfur Falls. I would play a Delver of Secrets  ^Flip, Opt, Remand, Blood Moon, Brazen Borrower, Magmatic Sinkhole, Narset, Parter of Veils, Fact or Fiction, and Bonecrusher Giant. Good Luck!

Grind thanks for the tips! They're a lot of help and I just wanted to tell you my Chemister's Insight on a few of them (see what I did there). First, once I get my hands on one I'll be replacing Into the Roil with Cyclonic Rift. Second, I don't want to run Fact or Fiction because it puts cards into hand rather than drawing them, and this deck revolves around mass card draw. Third, thank you for bringing my attention to Twincast, that's gonna be a good addition. The rest of what you said can probably go into a sideboard except for Underworld Breach. Since I can recast a lot of my spells from graveyard, I don't have room to exile them. Hopefully, this gives you a better glimpse of my ideas for this deck. Cheers indeed!
