Rhadamanthus on Stack ordering for activated ability …

1 month ago

You have to draw before searching and you don't get a choice.

State-based actions are checked and dealt with right before each time a player would get priority to take another action. In your example, that moment is right after you're completely finished with the process of activating Fertilid's ability, meaning the activated ability is already on the stack. When Fertilid dies to the 0-toughness SBA, Bequeathal will trigger and that trigger will go on top of Fertilid's ability.

Let's say that I have a Fertilid on the battlefield with only one +1/+1 counter on it, and it is enchanted with Bequeathal . If I were to pay the cost of Fertilid's activated ability by removing the last counter from it, it would die as a state-based action, thus triggering bequeathal. My question is, would the trigger of bequeathel always go onto the stack first since Fertilid died as a result of paying the cost for its activated ability, or would fertilid's activated ability go on the stack at the same time and thus allow me to order the stack to allow me to search for the land before drawing?

DemonDragonJ on Advice for a Green/White EDH …

3 months ago

I am planning to build a green/white EDH deck, with Sigarda, Host of Herons as the general, so I would like to ask for advice on constructing it.

Most decks that have the original Sigarda as the general tend to be either "Voltron" decks (i.e., making the general as powerful as possible) or "enchantress" decks (i.e., focusing on enchantments), so I would like to make my deck slightly different from the typical Sigarda deck; specifically, I plan for the deck to have three major themes: a focus on gaining life, but not quite to the extent of my Liesa, Shroud of Dusk deck; a focus on generating creature tokens, but not to the extent of my Ghired, Conclave Exile deck; and a focus on putting +1/+1 counters on creatures, but not to the extent of my Atraxa, Praetors' Voice deck; in other words, it shall be a "jack of all trades" deck, but with plenty of synergy and overlap between those themes. Sigarda does not directly contribute to any of those themes, but I chose her as the general, because she is very difficult to remove, once she is on the battlefield, and I feel that this type of creative and unusual deckbuilding is good and should be encouraged.

First, for gaining life, I am considering cards that make it easy to do so, such as True Conviction, Dazzling Angel, Archangel of Thune, Trostani, Selesnya's Voice, Sunscorch Regent, Oracle of Nectars, and Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn, as well as cards that offer payoffs/rewards for gaining life, such as (again) Archangel of Thune, Lathiel, Trelesarra, moon dancer, Blossoming Bogbeast or Trudge Garden.

Second, for generating creature tokens, I am considering Vernal Sovereign, Aura Mutation, Trudge Garden (again), Selesnya Guildmage (possibly), or Scepter of Celebration, and, for cards that reward me for generating tokens, I am considering Juniper Order Ranger, Cathars' Crusade, Dazzling Angel, and Trostani, Selesnya's Voice.

Third, for placing +1/+1 counters on creatures, I am considering Shalai, Voice of Plenty, Archangel of Thune, Juniper Order Ranger, Cathars' Crusade, Sunscorch Regent, Forgotten Ancient (possibly), and (possibly) Vigor, and, for cards that allow me to use those counters as payment for other effects, I am considering Fertilid, Mindless Automaton, (possibly) Ooze Flux.

Notice how many of those cards have synergy and overlap, allowing me to pursue three themes in a single deck, and I also plan to have a number of generically good cards that I use in many of my decks, such as True Conviction, Mirari's Wake, Seedborn Muse, or Sigarda, Font of Blessings, as well as several cards that I have not used in any of my previous decks, thus far, such as Hydra Broodmaster, Pledge of Loyalty, Camaraderie, Commander's Plate, Behemoth Sledge, Shield of the Oversoul, or Veteran Beastrider. I also am considering putting either Valkyrie Harbinger or Kalonian Hydra into this deck, but I do not wish for this deck to be too similar to any of my other decks, so I would prefer to avoid putting those cards into this deck, if I can avoid doing so, and I also am not yet certain about Doubling Season, staff of completion, or Selvala, Explorer Returned, since those cards would be awesome in this deck, but I do not wish to use them in every deck in which they would be a good addition.

What does everyone else say about this? Do you think that this is an interesting idea, and what suggestions can you make, for me? Thank you, very much, and I certainly am awaiting everyone’s responses!

LANDS: Cut the temple of the false gods, add more forests and less islands, cus you seen to want more green than you currently need than blue, looks fine otherwise, Guildless Commons could replace temple of the false gods if you want a quick fix, but could just be cut for another ramp spells, 37 lands is fine.

Sorcery: Surprised to not see Three Visits, Farseek and Nature's Lore here.

everything else looks good, could maybe use more removal cards and card draw, but a solid base thats going to be very powerful, have you considered a Forgotten Ancient , Fertilid , Scurry of Squirrels , Tribute to the World Tree , or Stocking the Pantry

DemonDragonJ on Should I Keep Steelbane Hydra …

RiotRunner789, I am confident with my mana rocks and Fertilid, and I believe that I have sufficient artifact and enchantment destruction, so I believe that Forgotten Ancient is the best replacement for Steelbane Hydra, in this deck.

RiotRunner789, that makes sense, as I am fairly confident that this deck already has sufficient artifact and enchantment removal, but would the crawler be redundant with Fertilid, or is it better to have that redundancy, in this deck?

Made the swap. Fertilid is amazing in this deck. It's a reloadable land-fetching engine that can be activated more than once per turn.
