MESS1802 on Foretell and Buyback

1 year ago

I have an Edgin, Larcenous Lutenist commander deck that uses Haze of Rage, and I’m unsure how the granted foretell cost reduction interacts with additional costs such as buyback if the original cost doesn’t have 2 or more generic mana.

In the scenario where I used Edgin, Larcenous Lutenist to foretell Haze of Rage, then cast it later and paying the buyback cost, would I need to pay a total of 2 or 3 mana to successfully buyback the spell?

My initial thought would be that since additional costs are applied before cost reductions, I would only need 2 mana, but I’m not completely certain I’m correct.

Spell Burst and Haze of Rage can be fun once your experience counters cover the buyback cost. Maybe Mystic Speculation as well. Especially good if you have something that triggers with each cast of a spell.

Made_Compleat, thanks for commenting. Some interesting things to consider.

Brain Freeze is a decent spell, but I think it'll be a bit too clunky to really get the best benefit. I'd need a storm count of somewhere in the ball park of 85-ish to guarantee a win with it. I'm not against using it to self mill to get a win with Jace, which sounds like it'd be a VERY good win con combined with Archmage Emeritus, Thousand-Year Storm and Veyran, Voice of Duality, or to fill the graveyard for me to cheat something out with Narset, but I wouldn't really consider that ideal in that circumstance because the ideal situation (in my mind, at least) is I'm using Narset to cast something twice.

Astral Steel is a solid-ish buffing spell, but Haze of Rage does similar with the added benefit of having a fairly easy buyback cost, especially with some of the combos I have available. Saying that, Someone I know IRL suggested Feather, the Redeemed, which would return Astral Steel to my hand at the end of turn. So that could actually be quite interesting to try out.

Galvanic Relay isn't bad, but I'd need to have a LOT of potential mana to truly benefit from it. It'll work with the Jeskai Ascendancy + Sorcerer Class combo, but for THAT to work I'd need something like Haze of Rage to build a good storm count and if I reach THAT point the smarter bet is usually to either swing in or Grape Shot

Mind's Desire, however... I like. For a few reasons but the key one is explicitly because of how it can interact with Narset. I find a way to discard it, probably though Jeskai Ascendancy, build up a decent storm count, then swing in with Narset. Exile Mind's Desire to cast a copy of it, during the combat phase, cast as many instants as I've exiled. On the second main, cast everything else. Even if that doesn't WIN I get a VERY solid board state.

Wuddup! Vadrik, Astral Archmage is so busted, man. Probably the best {U}{R} Commander p4p imo. I've been brewing him for a while now.

I see you're already running Seething Song, which is great. I'd highly recommend adding Desperate Ritual & Pyretic Ritual as well. Functionally having 2 copies of Dark Ritual in a {U}{R} deck is insane. Mana Geyser is pretty decent, but at Sorcery speed and at a minimum cost of {R}{R}, it's really not worth it compared to the others.

I would also recommend Mystic Retrieval & Mizzix's Mastery over Call to Mind & Finale of Promise respectively. As well as adding Past in Flames.

2 pieces of Equipment that I noticed shone very brightly with this Commander are Conqueror's Flail & Commander's Plate. The added bonus of cost reduction makes their power here difficult to overstate.

Buyback is a popular mechanic in typical Vadrik decks, but the only ones that are truly worth consideration are Capsize, Reiterate & Clockspinning. Haze of Rage & Seething Anger are obviously great, but they don't facilitate wins with the same frequency as those other ones. Sorcery speed sucks.

Never doubt that you need those Tutors, son! Solve the Equation, Reckless Handling, Merchant Scroll, Fabricate, Bribery & Acquire are all pretty much too good to pass up here. Reshape can also be great, depending on your Artifact list.

Free spells like Misdirection, Blazing Shoal & Commandeer can be pretty great here, given that they are likely still cheap to cast if you can't cast them for free.

Lastly, try to get yourself copies of Sea Gate Restoration  ^Flip, Shatterskull Smashing  ^Flip & Jeska's Will for this one if you can. Amazing!

Peace!

Hey, yes, it works with buyback. Haze of Rage, Whispers of the Muse and Spell Burst do a lot with Vadrik.

AndWelcomeToTheJam on Zada Is Storming Away

2 years ago

There were two more cards I didn't mention in my last comment, starting with Haze of Rage. While this spell doesn't make use of Zada's trigger, it's a solid card for an all-out swing after chaining a few cantrips together. What really makes this version of this kind of effect interesting though, is its ability to let you go infinite. If you have a Storm-Kiln Artist in play, with or without Zada, the Magecraft trigger will produce enough Treasures to pay for Haze of Rage and its buyback cost after 3 other spells cast, and only more Treasures thereafter. This gives you infinite Treasures and a board of creatures with infinite power. I had both of these cards in my own list for some time and only discovered the combo by accident. This combo only gets easier if you also have a Goldspan Dragon out. Every time you cast a spell to use Zada's trigger, the copy of that spell that targets Goldspan will produce a Treasure token that makes double mana. Combined with Artist, your spells will effectively be free to cast. I only didn't bring up Goldspan Dragon before because, at least at the time of writing, it's a decently expensive pickup.
