Ghool on Kira the Thief

5 months ago

Sceptre of Eternal Glory is nice, use it in two other decks. Throne of Eldraine pretty good too speaking of mana and draw.

Mind Stone I run in pretty much every other deck, great card and most likely getting added.

There's a few high cost cards I'm not getting enough out of such as Archetype of Imagination and Stormtide Leviathan for example that will most likely be removed. The aforementioned Shadowspear has been weak since hexproof has not really been an issue. Don't need both Bident of Thassa and Coastal Piracy so one could be replaced.

Added Capsize and Jace, Ingenious Mind-Mage a few days ago. I believe they'll be nice additions.

Come December I hope to be updating this thing and it already plays quite well right now. If you have any ideas for cards that might work well besides ramp please list them. I was looking at cards like Jin-Gitaxias, Progress Tyrant, but the mana cost seven is higher than I want (been working on reducing the mana cost of my decks). Things that steal or drastically slow down opponents are great.

CamraMaan on Planeswalker ability timing question, when …

3 years ago

Simply put, I have Lithoform Engine on the BF, as well as Merieke Ri Berit and a host of creatures that tap to untap her, or tap to do other things, and all of them have been tapped out early in my turn. I also have Jace, Ingenious Mind-Mage on the BF and +1 him to untap all my creatures, then use Lithoform Engine's first ability to copy the activated ability of Jace. My question is if, after the initial untap-round from Jace, I can then tap creatures to use their abilities before the second round of Jace untaps hit? Do I need to sequence it a certain way for it to work, or do planeswalker abilities limit what I can do between the Jace effects...?

Tontor4 on Esior / Sakashima Partner - Mono U Theft

Mcat1999 Interesting take on cutting Jeweled Lotus for Jace, Ingenious Mind-Mage .

For the sake of discussion, the deck currently has no walkers, which theoretically makes something like The Immortal Sun attractive, for the same CMC as Jace, Ingenious Mind-Mage . Alternatively, would you consider Jace, the Mind Sculptor at 4 CMC a better choice than Jace, Ingenious Mind-Mage ? I like the theme of theft, but I'm not so married to it as to choose one card over another just to stick to the theme: check out the maybe list to confirm ;)

Mcat1999 I certainly appreciate the suggestions. Thanks! I think you're right that Hypnotic Siren would be very on theme here. What would you cut for it?

I could see Jace, Ingenious Mind-Mage , though he is a little spendy at 6, with an ult that requires 5 turns of protection.

Planeswalker's Mischief is a fun one too, but it seems a little inconsistent: paying 5UU to not hit an instant or sorc seems like a real feel bad moment.

Lol I love Persistent Petitioners! You probably have a lot too much land for a deck with only two drops. I would drop down to maybe 33 or 34. Maybe play the following cards: Dramatic Reversal,Counterspell,Thrumming Stone,Minister of Inquiries, and Jace, Ingenious Mind-Mage.

+1 Good Luck!

LordVonChimp on What? These are mere folks

4 years ago

I started out with a thrown together Merfolk EDH deck, even the Jace, Ingenious Mind-Mage . Two cards that got the table worried were Rhonas's Monument and Kefnet's Monument .

Cheap artefacts that reduce the cost of the merfolk to next to nothing, plus casting a few cheap merfolk could tap down all blockers, and buff your merfolk enough to do some serious damage.

Also, Murkfiend Liege is great once Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca is up and running, letting you untap creatures every upkeep and being able to tap them down during endsteps again for card draw/ +1/+1 counters.

Cool shell so far, but I definitely think it needs more mana ramp. Mayeb 4 more sources of your choice of artifact and land ramp, all probably around the 2-3 CMC slot. Since your deck is light on green I'd go the artifacts that tap for colors like Fellwar Stone , Wayfarer's Bauble , Commander's Sphere , Armillary Sphere , Coalition Relic .

I would look to cut Narset, Enlightened Master and Atraxa, Praetors' Voice . They are funny includes, but they are high CMC and kind of seem like "win more" includes.

Overall I'd look to knock the curve of the deck down a bit. I find decks start to really hum when they are around 3.5 average CMC. With that said, some of the higher cost plane walkers that aren't doing as much work for you might be Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge , Jace, Ingenious Mind-Mage , and Kaya, Bane of the Dead ,

I'd cut Nexus of Fate and Knowledge Pool as well unless you plan to abuse them in a way I missed.

And you can find better board wipes than Decree of Pain . is a tall order.

This deck definitely has all the win cons it needs, just make sure you have the card draw and smooth curve to ensure you get to them consistently.

Also, I'd look to add Dack Fayden and Dovin Baan . Both very good effects to drop in the mid game.

Looks like fun deck, best of luck!

dehli on Tezzeret, Master of the Brawl

4 years ago

I've been having a lot of fun with him! He's really powerful once he gets going. Mishra's Self-Replicator and Sai, Master Thopterist make him amazing. I think Hostage Taker is a great idea! I could exile an artifact or creature for two mana (as long as Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge is out). I think I'll also put in Tetzimoc, Primal Death for more creature based removal.

That's a good point about One with the Machine . So far, I've cast it for 5 with Gilded Lotus and 4 with Traxos, Scourge of Kroog , and the third time I kept it in my hand because I didn't have a good artifact on the field. I might swap it out for Jace, Ingenious Mind-Mage .

I'm still experimenting with it. Let me know if you decide to build it! I think focusing on creatures, artifacts, and planeswalkers is the way to go because of Tezzeret's affinity.

Cheers!
