FatFreddiesCat on Another question about card:Nadu, Winged …

3 days ago

I recently brought my new defanged (e.g. no Lightning Geaves, no Shuku, etc.) Nadu, Winged Wisdom deck to my local club. Something happened which no one has been able to explain to me in terms I can understand. I have Nadu, Winged Wisdom in play. Also Parallel Lives. I cast Irenicus's Vile Duplication and get two copies of Nadu. Just for fun I also create three other copies of Nadu with other sorceries. I now have six Nadus in play. One of my opponents activates an ability that triggers one of my Nadus. He tells me that I get a total of 36 triggers from my Nadus and must reveal 36 cards etc. Is this correct? Can you please explain it in baby talk?

Irenicus's Vile Duplication, Mirror Box and Vesuvan Duplimancy could allow you to copy your commander, and with an infinite artifact sacrifice machine like Arcbound Ravager, Grinding Station, or the like, you could easily go infinite. Plus, these cards fit decently into your gameplan.

I'd probably cut Trail of Evidence, since you only have seven instants/sorceries.

Irenicus's Vile Duplication, makes a flying token clone of Soundwave that won't transform. There's some othe similar cards if you're into it, although IIRC none of the come with evasion.

Winged Words -> Battle Mastery (double strike on Tivit to double his effect)
Propaganda -> Thorough Investigation
Warden of Evos Isle -> Worn Powerstone
Emergency Powers -> Anointed Procession
Fact or Fiction -> Spark Double
Dig Through Time -> Irenicus's Vile Duplication
Eligeth, Crossroads Augur -> Inspiring Statuary (can tap itself to reduce costs, also allows you to tap clues & treasures to reduce costs)
Sphinx Sovereign -> Brago's Representative
Treasure Cruise -> Sakashima of a Thousand Faces
Opt -> Sakashima the Impostor
Unesh, Criosphinx Sovereign -> Time Sieve
Vexing Sphinx -> Mirkwood Bats
Aetherize -> Mondrak, Glory Dominus

Glyph Keeper -> Cyberdrive Awakener

Willen on Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm: Double Dragon

7 months ago

Bonehoard Dracosaur and Auton Soldier isn't good options to the deck? In a scenario with Miirym on the field, can have another Bonehoard Dracosaur to exile plus two cards and get it's benefits. Auton Soldier is {{2}} more than Irenicus's Vile Duplication, but... if you copy Scourge of Valkas or have Dragon Tempest on battlefield, attack with Myriad may be kinda of a finisher, since are two or more dragons entering at that time. Just thoughts.
