Mirror March

Enchantment

Whenever a nontoken creature enters the battlefield under your control, flip a coin until you lose a flip. For each flip you won, create a token that's a copy of that creature. Those tokens gain haste. Exile them at the beginning of the next end step.

Ignawesome on Fiery Death by Dragons

I was also not sure about Mirror March but I wanted to try it at least one time. Getting more than 1 Utvara Hellkite or Terror of the Peaks is bonkers. Normally I had Gate to the AEther in this spot, which was not strong but leads to the next section:

Gate to the AEther, Guild Feud and Pandemonium are there mostly to make the game more interesting for others too. I add and remove them based on the power level of the playgroup.

Shadowspear is amazing, love the suggestion!

I had a Moonveil Dragon but I never fetched it because I never had more than 3 creatures on board (and if I do I'm often about to win), whereas I often have more than 3 artifacts on board for Hellkite Igniter, and it has helped me get a couple surprise wins.

Hey there! What are your thoughts on cards such as Sundial of the Infinite and Teferi's Veil. Both allow you to keep your tokens made by Inalla. Also curious if you've ever thought about including cards like Anathemancer and Ghitu Journeymage. While they don't do much on their own I love trying to go as wide as possible with them through Inalla and other's such as Naban, Dean of Iteration which you already run, and Flameshadow Conjuring, or Mirror March. Interested to see your thoughts on both of these types of cards mentioned.

You might consider Zada, Hedron Grinder. Alongside Krark, the Thumbless, Fiery Gambit, Chandra's Ignition, or even something like Chaos Warp (unconventional, but very profitable if facing a board wipe or if Mirror March or Goblin Traprunner have left you with a token-heavy board), it can really accelerate the amount of havoc you can spread. You'd likely find yourself adding in a couple of extra buffing spells if you did.

TripleResistance, thank you for the suggestions! I realize this is a very different way of building Rin and Seri, but I think it's worth a try. I usually lean in to the creative side of deck building rather than focus on optimization, "fun and surprising" hits the mark.

I agree that the attack buffs are hard to support along with a creaturefall theme. I think I can take out some of the attack-centered cards like Pack Leader and Coat of Arms, as you said. Vivien Reid is an odd choice, I know, but I like the versatility of grabbing a creature or land and having removal on a stick — especially for fliers, which is a weak spot other than Path to Exile and Swords to Plowshares. With all the ETB, I would have a hard time cutting Cathars' Crusade. It can make my guys massive quickly, and will help get them back there even after a board wipe.

I had totally missed Mirror March! That could be a lot of fun, and it's just random enough that it can reliably pay off if I get it out early enough.

With all this said, a handful of the Cabaratti cards spoiled from SNC change things. How can I not slot in Jinnie Fay, Jetmir's Second!?

Creaturefall theme.

ETB effects on most creatures. (sometimes provided by your commander in the case of changelings)

Ping opponents when creatures enter the battlefield with cards like Impact Tremors. Other effects would be welcome too if they were good enough.

Abuse these two items with cards like Mirror March, Molten Echoes, and the like.

All while trying to make it mesh with Rin and Seri, Inseparable for extra value.

As for what I'd cut... I'd probably do away with some of the classic Rin and Seri, Inseparable cards focusing on making a huge board to swing with. You have several token-doubling effects in your deck, and I think if you're going to place an emphasis on pinging with Purphoros, God of the Forge effects then you're pulling yourself in two different directions. If your goal is tribal then Purphoros, God of the Forge might be a decent card, but it is not a win condition. If your goal is pinging and tokens, then tribal buffs might not be ideal. I'm talking specifically about synergies that give you big attackers, not synergies that help you in other ways like Qasali Slingers.

Example cuts would be: Pack Leader, Vivien Reid, Coat of Arms, Akroma's Memorial, Cathars' Crusade, maybe even some of your board protection spells could be let go, though if you go that route I'd also get rid of Craterhoof and Triumph as well. Those are great win conditions if you have a board, and it's worth thinking about keeping them in if you think you can manage to protect your guys.

It's hard to argue that this would be stronger than a straight-up Rin and Seri, Inseparable cEDH list, but it would be a fun and surprising way to go about things. This requires you to find those ping upon creature entering effects and keep them safe which can be a challenge in itself. It's really more of a Dina, Soul Steeper or Purphoros, God of the Forge commander deck concept that's been fit into a less oppressive shell.

Of course, the other route is to just ditch the pinging strategy and play full attack damage which you said you were trying to avoid doing.

Mirror March, Molten Echoes, Avenger of Zendikar

I'm looking for things that might go well in my Zada, Hedron Grinder deck, which is why there's a fair bit of red recommendations.

You can search on
https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?page=2&sort=color+&text=%20[whenever]%20[a]%20[creature]%20[enters]%20[the]%20[battlefield]
for all cards containing all of the words "whenever" "a" "creature" "enters" "the" and "battlefield" if you'd like to pivot towards more of a creaturefall theme which seems like fun to me. Of course, you may have something entirely different in mind and that's great too!

NTakamura on Is Mirror March good for …

2 years ago

I have thinking this for a while now, is Mirror March good in a Rionya, Fire Dancer deck? My thought is I can still make copies if Rionya is gone or double up. I have 22 creatures, 15 instants and 18 sorceries. What are your experiences with Mirror March? Do you think it is worth a spot or not? I don't run anything that copy instant or sorceries since they don't count as casts. Should add one to replace that?

I mean... Flameshadow Conjuring is a strong, but far from problematic card already, and this is eerily reminiscent of that. Same goes for Mirror March. Specifying creature tokens is a solid choice. Doubling treasures would make this card a lot more annoying.

I forsee cool Heat Shimmer shenanigans with this! It seems specifically designed for Rionya, Fire Dancer.
