Flarhoon13 on Saskia keeps hitting

4 months ago

Another close multiplayer loss. Turn 3, I used an Abzan Charm on Seth's Goblin Researcher in response to it being targeted by Sudden Breakthrough. I was holding up mana to kill Krenko, Mob Boss but Logan, on Flubs, the Fool, was kind enough to kill it on his turn. Turn 4, I named Seth with Saskia the Unyielding and hit him for 6. Turn 5, I played Herald of the Host. I could have killed Seth on turn 6 but Jesse targeted me with a Do or Die, one of so many fun games his The Celestial Toymaker enjoyed. I chose for it to destroy Saskia the Unyielding so my turn 6 Gratuitous Violence meant Seth took 8 instead of 56. I never got a turn 7 as Seth's goblins took me and Jesse out, giving the game to Logan.

Sling-Gang Lieutenant & Goblin Bombardment are useful to kill a player or players when you have enough goblins especially if you are playing Krenko, Mob Boss

Krenko, Mob Boss if you don't have it. Also, get Aggravated Assault and a haste-giver, like Goblin Chieftain, and if you have enough mana, before combat, tap krenko, swing with goblins, activate assault, UNTAPPING KRENKO, then do it again. Swing with 2x goblins, then 4x goblins. If you have 10 mana, then 8x goblins, for a total of 16x goblin swings.

legendofa I know my friend's deck uses Sensei's Divining Top, Omniscience, and Enter the Infinite, so I could get one of my combo pieces, or steal one of their combo pieces.

Oh, I just realized it said creature card, I'm blind lol. Being removed right now.

Crash Through would be very good if I am running Narset, Enlightened Exile as my commander, or have Jeskai Ascendancy out.

I'm switching Jace, Architect of Thought and Bribery out.

As for whether unblockable or trample is better, probably unblockable, as here are the current common decks:

My friend: a Merry, Warden of Isengard and Pippin, Warden of Isengard token deck, or Sliver Hivelord slivers deck.

My mom: Kykar, Wind's Fury deck, or a Krenko, Mob Boss krenko deck.

My dad runs a Hazel of the Rootbloom token deck, a Tergrid, God of Fright  ^Flip discard deck. Sometimes a Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix *f-etch* and Thrasios, Triton Hero draw deck.

TypicalTimmy on Splash Lasher token has reminder …

So, followup question.

What becomes the default now?

Do tokens inherently now have a mana cost of {0} unless otherwise stated?

In a pedantic sense, a mana cost of {0} is different from no value. One could make the argument that {0} is a numerical value representing the lack of information contained within a set.

• If I have 5 apples and 6 oranges, how many bananas do I have? 0. I have no bananas contained within my set of fruit.

Then again, saying it has no cost means that anything which would impact {0}-costs won't be seen. As an example, Culling Ritual hits everything with mana value 2 or less. If some tokens now have values and some do not, how are the ones inherently created without it handle this? Do the tokens created with Krenko, Mob Boss die to it?

Because now you potentially open up this can of worms;

• Your tokens die, too.
• No, they don't.
• Mana value 2 or less. Your tokens have {0}.
• No, they don't have a mana value.
• Right, that's zero. Less than one.
• No, it's undefined. There isn't one.
• But they are zero!
• Show me where it says zero on the card!
• THEY ARE ZERO
• They don't list themselves as enchantments, do they? Because THEY AREN'T ENCHANTMENTS!
• We aren't talking about Enchantments!
• Exactly! We are dealing with part of an identity. My tokens HAVE NO MANA VALUE AS THEIR IDENTITY

Because, realistically speaking...

Undefined =/= Zero

They are not synonymous with each other...

Flarhoon13 on Marton Stromgald, Nigh Unstoppable

Dec 7

Marton Stromgald attacks finally got a win. The table--Kurtis on Commander Mustard, Doug on Krenko, Mob Boss and I--made Darryl the Archenemy to overcome Valgavoth, Terror Eater. Break Through the Line was a key player, allowing me to attack repeatedly with Marton.

Cool decklist! Curious about why did you go with Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin and not Krenko, Mob Boss?

Flarhoon13 on Fiery Sacrifices: Embracing Ziatora's Flame

May 3, 2024 I started a new quest. Having built 52 decks, I endeavoured to play them all, in roughly the same order as I created them.

Ziatora demands sacrifices, now more than ever: Blaine on OG Krenko, Mob Boss won turn 4: 2-2 .500
