DemonDragonJ on Clash of the Titans

I have replaced Whirlwind of Thought, Thought Vessel, and Vedalken Orrery with Bloom Tender, High Fae Trickster, and Triskaidekaphile, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 4.43 to 4.40, because this deck does not contain enough non-creature spells to justify the whirlwind, the tender can produce great amounts of mana, and it is always good to have an alternate win condition in a deck that has a high mana curve.

DemonDragonJ on Viral Drake or Tekuthal?

1 month ago

DragonMaster420, I had considered replacing either High Fae Trickster or Mer-Ek Nightblade with Tekuthal, but those two creatures are both too valuable to not include in this deck, so I still am not certain how to put Tekuthal in this deck, if I even still should do that.

DemonDragonJ on Do You Have “Pet Cards?”

4 months ago

I have been playing Magic: the Gathering since 2003, and there are several cards of which I am very fond, cards that I like to include in my decks very frequently, and I imagine that most players here also have "pet cards," as well, so I would like to discuss that subject.

Pet cards do not necessarily need to be the most powerful or impactful of cards, as they can be cards of which a player is very fond or to which they have an emotional attachment, due to those cards suiting their playing style or personality, so I would prefer to not discuss the power level of such cards or judge other players for having pet cards.

One of my pet cards is Chromatic Lantern, because it provides amazing mana fixing for a deck, so I have it in every one of my EDH decks, or, in the rare decks in which I do not have it, I instead have Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, as that ability is simply too useful for a multicolored deck.

Another pet card of mine is Elixir of Immortality, as I believe that it is always good for a deck to have a method to shuffle one’s graveyard into their library, especially given the low mana cost for that effect.

Another pet card that I have is Akroma's Memorial, as every one of my EDH decks has a focus on creatures, and I enjoy being able to make my creatures more powerful.

Another card of which I am very fond if Vedalken Orrery, as I enjoy being able to cast my spells at any time that I could cast an instant, and, if I do not have the orrery in a deck, I instead use a variation of it, such as Leyline of Anticipation, Tidal Barracuda, or High Fae Trickster.

I used to put The Immortal Sun in the majority of my EDH decks, as well, as it is such an overall useful card, but I eventually removed it from those decks, because it is expesnvie and takes too long to provide any significant benefits.

What does everyone else say, about this subject? Do you have any "pet cards?" Again, this thread is not to discuss the power level of such cards or to judge players who use them, it simply is intended to be a fun and lighthearted discussion. I certainly am interested to receive your responses, to this subject!

I have replaced Flux Channeler and Vedalken Orrery with Lulu, Stern Guardian and High Fae Trickster, because I feel that those cards are better suited for this deck, since Lulu is an addition source of proliferation and also a mana sink and the fae is a creature.

DemonDragonJ on Flux Channeler or Lulu, Stern …

10 months ago

I have a copy of Flux Channeler in my Atraxa, Praetors' Voice EDH deck, but I am contemplating replacing that card with Lulu, Stern Guardian, because Lulu works as a mana sink and also has an additional ability that works well with that deck's theme. It is true that the channeler requires no additional investment of resources after she is summoned, but her ability has a restriction that I find to be annoying (as it prevents me from replacing Vedalken Orrery with High Fae Trickster), and I already have a copy of Inexorable Tide in that deck, so replacing the channeler would not be a major issue.

What does everyone else say, about this subject? Should I replace Flux Channeler with Lulu, or leave the channeler in my deck? I certainly am eager to hear your thoughts, on this matter!

I'm fond of the Leyline. There's also Vedalken Orrery.

I'm not sure about the land though. Seems slow and you gotta tap 3 lands to use the effect like you said.

High Fae Trickster is another option.

Some creatures to consider to give you a better early game:

Picklock Prankster - Can be played to dig for more cards at instant speed (faeries or instant spells), and is a cheap creature to play.

Hypnotic Sprite - Option to play as counter and play as creature makes it a useful card. Not high power, but playable.

Spellstutter Sprite - Probably one of the best faeries you can play as it is a cheap flash creature that serves as counter magic.

Faerie Miscreant - A decent one drop option. Only really useful to give you early board presence that helps with Spellstuter Sprite, but also chance to give you card draw if you can open with more then 1 copy.

If you can afford:

Brazen Borrower - One of the best aggressive creature options you have that also serves as early bounce. Understable that it is hard to obtain due to cost ($$$), but if you can use them I would definetly say this would be a must for this kind of deck.

Cards I would remove:

Wasp Lancer - To slow and over costed

Glen Elendra Liege - Not enough multi colored creatures to take proper advantage of its bonus.

Cards I would trim copies:

High Fae Trickster - Would only run up to 2 copies due to high mana value of card. Personally would not use.

Faerie Swarm - overcosted if you don't have creatures on board, if you have creatures you might already be winning due to flying aggro. Maybe 1 or 2 copies in deck.

Oona, Queen of the Fae - Very late game card in a deck that doesn't really have a way to build to late game, seems like bad fit for this deck. Would only use it as a one of fun of, but ultimately cut.

Lastly I would suggest maybe some cheaper bounce spells like Fading Hope so it is easier to do something like bounce a threat and counterspell it on its way back to the board. Fading hope adds extra bonus to get some scry action and even can be used on own creatures as a form of protection.

DemonDragonJ on Why Does High Fae Trickster …

1 year ago

I believe that High Fae Trickster's mana cost is too lenient, especially when one considers that she completely outclasses Yeva, Nature's Herald, other than having a lower toughness. I believe that the trickster should have a mana cost of cost {2}{U}{U}, rather than {3}{U}, given how heavily blue her abilities are, especially considering that Yeva costs {2}{G}{G} to cast.

What does everyone else say, about this? Why do you believe that High Fae Trickster has such a lenient mana cost, and, as an additional question, considering that Vivien, Champion of the Wilds exists, will WotC ever print a creature card who is identical to Yeva, except that it shall grant flash to all creature spells, rather than merely green creature spells? I certainly am interested to hear everyone's thoughts, on this matter.
