Hybrow on Snakes on a Planeswalker - Xyris EDH swarm

5 months ago

Seuchenschutz, thanks for the comment and suggestions

I have been looking to remove Solemn Simulacrum for a while. I have found I dont really need the land drop or 1 card draw in this deck so much. Of the cards you suggested, I really like Balor as a replacement. Having an extra flying blocker is nice. and the 3 card draw is funny. Any draw for my opponents that requires discard is always nice.

As for In the Web of War, I already have two haste enabling enchantments Fervor and Roar of Resistance. They both have a lower CMC, and although the +2/0 is nice, I usually have so many snakes in a 3-4 player game, it kinda doesnt matter.

I like Black Vise as a fun addtion, but not sure what I can take out for it. (thats always the hardest part. I will probably keep that one in my maybe board for a while.

Flarhoon13 on Narset, Enlightened Master, Creatureless Wins

7 months ago

Having completed my quest to play all 52 of my decks, I decided to try getting a win with all of my decks

Oct 5

Narset, Enlightened Master, Creatureless Wins... Lost to Treebeard, Gracious Host, which, if you haven't played against, is tremendously powerful. Missed a couple land drops. Did have Fervor for a Narset, Enlightened Master attack, equipped with Explorer's Scope, which revealed Mystic Monastery, then Narset revealed Surge to Victory (empty graveyard) and three lands. I have cut Surge to Victory from the deck. My losers' drop to 8-20.

Spawn Breeder {12}

Creature - Eldeazi

When Spawn Breeder enters the battlefield, create twelve 0/1 colorless Eldeazi Spawn tokens. They have {T}, sacrifice this creature: Add {C}.

20/1

That could easily become an infinite combo piece. Consider in an Izzet deck with Deadeye Navigator and Fervor. All you need is some type of mana filter, such as Energy Refractor amd suddenly you have infinite ETB triggers, infinite bodies and infinite mana off all colors.

Nasty stuff, man.

You know what I'd like to see? A well balanced and flavorful Vampire Samurai.

So that's your challenge.

And for added challenge, if you'd like, he or she must contain {W} in their identity also.

legendofa on Are there any flavor/biological reasons …

SteelSentry Yeah, my last sentence was more absolute, I guess is the right word, than it needed to be. Creature types do have an important role in flavor and identity. My point, poorly stated as it was, is that M:tG creature types don't represent real-world taxonomy well, and fantasy taxonomy is exactly as precise or arbitrary as the creators make it.

I don't know enough about the cultural history of nagas to really speak on them, other than they're important in southern and southeastern Asia, so I didn't really address that one. I understand there's a similar story with rakshasa from Tarkir vs. real-world culture. Something I need to learn about.

The viashino could have become Dragons instead of Lizards, and I wouldn't see a problem with that. You have a good point with the dragonborn. (AFR has its own flavor and mechanical fails, though, running off D&D rules. An Owlbear would last about two seconds against an Adult Gold Dragon, not fight it to the death, and Barbarian Class leaned too heavily into the D&D class mechanics. For M:tG Barbarians, it's a stupid-expensive Fervor. No Barbarian or Berserker card so far rolls dice, and only Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients has anything to do at all with dice rolling. Hey, look, a Dragon!)

But I don't think there's much risk of further changes. Most of the other M:tG-original humanoid-animal creatures already belong to the animal creature type: nacatl, leonin, all kinds of aven, wolfir, ainok, rhox (which were usually animalistic before 10th Edition), loxodons, everything from Bloomburrow... It's just kind of bringing the old stuff in line with the new stuff.

And now that I'm thinking about it, I want to see snail people. Move over, Toxrill. The Snail Wizards are coming in.

Hypersayia9001 on The infinite Narset

Might I suggest Rising of the Day as a strictly better Fervor? You get the haste, and Narset gets and extra +1/+0.

TypicalTimmy on Eda, Mother of the Lost

11 months ago

That's how I play Magic, though. I look at cards as investments.

The way I construct a deck, each card should be able to stand on its own and extrapolate across the board with each new addition.

That's the philosophy between "combo" and "synergy". For example, Impact Tremors, Purphoros, God of the Forge, and Warstorm Surge may all stand on their own but extrapolate the pain when working in synergy with one another.

Then you extrapolate further with cards such as Scourge of Valkas, Dragon Tempest, Terror of the Peaks and Utvara Hellkite and suddenly you are the biggest threat at the table.

Run this with Lathliss, Dragon Queen and all of a sudden every single card becomes a stand-alone threat, all radically compounding the pain on top of one-another.

The reason I build decks like this is because if a single spell is countered, or I endure a boardwipe, that is okay because the very next spell I cast replaces what I've just lost.

I've actually dealt enough damage with boardstates like this to take down all three opponents at once from targeted and indirect damage, no to mention combat damage when you apply Fervor, Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded and Dragon Tempest.

Anyway, sorry for the tangent. Just explaining my own personal deck-building process and how I play.

Quickspell on Build a Deck with Me …

If I may add a few other notes to your thought process.

• You said that you want to go infinite, and Ghired and Sunstrike Legionnaire or Midnight Guard would be you main line.
• You also mentioned other combolines such as Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Zealous Conscripts.

At this point, you are already on the track of using known combos and putting them into a Naya shell. There are many other combos that can go with this, you just need to tutor for them.

Note that haste is an important aspect to this. Zealous Conscripts is much better than Hyrax Tower Scout or Sparring Mummy for this reason, even though both have cheaper mana value. Without haste, your million tokens will just be board-wiped. You could argue for redundancy, but the truth is that tutors and recursion such as Eternal Witness and Skullwinder are much better, because they add to your strategy with more flexibility.

Most creature tutors are green non-creature spells that search for green creatures. However, you want to keep the amount of non-creature spells low, because Ghired's ability doesn't apply to them. But there are some great tutors that can help you find your pieces:

• Defense of the Heart is great to outright win the game with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Zealous Conscripts. If you can produce a lot of treasure (which shouldn't be a problem with Ghired), Tooth and Nail does the same for 9 mana. Shared Summons tutors them to your hand.
• If you are considering Molten Duplication, there is redundancy with Twinflame and Heat Shimmer. All of them will be helpful for Ghired, but most importantly, all of them go infinite with Dualcaster Mage.
• Sunstrike Legionnaire can be found by both Imperial Recruiter and Recruiter of the Guard
• Midnight Guard can be found by Imperial Recruiter
• Both Imperial Recruiter and Recruiter of the Guard can also find Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker

Most of these cards use ETBs. If you can give them haste - ideally with creatures - you can cast them, make use of their ETB, and directly tap them with Ghired for value. Anger comes to mind, Hellraiser Goblin is great (you won't be attacking, because you are going to tap your creatures with Ghired), Yarus, Roar of the Old Gods can be okay. As for non-creature spells, you have Mass Hysteria, Concordant Crossroads, Fervor, Rising of the Day. Though I would probably only consider Hammer of Purphoros as it can create tokens.

As for the token doublers, I'm not sure if they really fit the deck. Sure, they are staples for token strategies. But what's the point of making infinite tokens go double? Mondrak, Glory Dominus and Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation  ^Flip will put a bounty on your head which is not a good thing in a combo-deck. You want to stay under the radar until you can go off.
Mondrak only doubles creature tokens, so you are not making more treasures. And the other doublers like Anointed Procession, Parallel Lives etc. will not tap with Ghired. Since you also want to put in all the other Naya-staple enchantments like Smothering Tithe and Guardian Project etc., you will just fill your deck with non-creatures that don't synergize with your commander.

Some cards worth mentioning are:
- Illusionist's Bracers - Cloudstone Curio (create a creature token, return a creature with an ETB to your hand). - Helm of the Host

TypicalTimmy on How is the New Ghalta …

As a Timmy, I can tell you I would absolutely blink him with Sneak Attack or Deadeye Navigator. And if you have something such as Elemental Bond, you can replenish your hand. If you have Fervor, you can swing en mass.

But, it's also going to mean you are public enemy number 1

If you don't build for that, you'd basically want to unload only what you need to secure a minor win in that position, and not lose your entire grip to something stupid
