Kaktus021 on Shirei's Delayed Trigger and Being …

4 months ago

Set-up: It's my opponent's turn. I control a Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker and remove two counters from my Mindless Automaton to draw a card and it dies from having zero toughness, triggering Shirie's ability. Later in the turn my opponent plays Ixidron turning Shirie face down.

Question: Does the Automaton still return to play when Shirie's delayed ability triggers at the end of turn since Shirie is still in play even though it's now a face down creature with no abilities or name, or does the ability fail to see Shirei because it's now face down?

builderboy7 on How does Ixidron and Detention …

I ask the question what happens when I cast an Ixidron and follow it up by casting a Detention Sphere on a face-down creature? From what I understand, they don't have names so Detention Sphere wouldn't exile each player's board excluding the Ixidron. Is my assumption correct?

Tried playtesting this against my Minn, Wily Illusionist EDH deck. On turn 6 or 7, I gained control of Karona, False God, attacked, then played Ixidron, effectively trapping your commander on my board. Another card in my deck would effectively do the same thing: In Too Deep. It was a bit of a slow drawn out process from there, but you may need something to destroy your commander if it gets trapped like this. Also saw after that this is meant to be a political deck, but.. just some notes.

Something like Shiny Impetus, Psychic Impetus, or Parasitic Impetus may help in situations like this, where it gets turned face down.

Yesterday on Can you use Deceiver of …

Following up on a question from a few days ago, what happens if you control a face-down creature that doesn't have morph or a variant, and your Deceiver of Form's trigger goes off? I reveal a Scornful Egotist off Deceiver's trigger.

According to the answer in the other thread, if I control an Akroma, Angel of Fury I've cast as a morph creature, I can flip it face-up for U at which point it'll be a face-up Scornful Egotist until end of turn.

If I control a Yargle, Glutton of Urborg that was turned face-down with an Ixidron, can I spend U to turn the Yargle face-up?

And if so... what happens if I've used a Magar of the Magic Strings to reanimate a sorcery spell as a face-down creature? Can I pay U to turn it face-up as a copy of the Egotist until end of turn? Or do the rules that prevent instants and sorceries entering the battlefield prevent you from turning the card face-up even when it's a copy of a creature card?

She was my first commander. Consider Caged Sun, Kederekt Leviathan, Sphinx of the Second Sun and a Paradox Haze on a stick, Ixidron, Clever Impersonator and Whelming Wave. Have fun!

Hi :) I have a similar deck ( Aminatou ) and lately I've been adding/removing some cards using your deck as inspiration.

I'm having a really hard time finding a reason to cut Ixidron, though, and I'm curious about your thoughts. It's similar to a board wipe, but you can blink all your creatures back.

I also run other mana-heavy cards like Diluvian Primordial and Sepulchral Primordial, both of which I'm on the fence about since they can be bricky, but I'm having trouble letting go of.

Awesome deck, btw!
