Bookrook on Standstill cards

Flame-Kin War Scout, Mogg Bombers, Mirror of Life Trapping, and Monkey Cage. I don’t have a commander to build the deck around, any suggestions. darkkirodon if I can keep the rest of the deck pretty budget, I can probably get a sphinx. Thanks for the suggestion! seshiro_of_the_orochi the only veiled card I really like is the veiled sentry because it forces my opponents to play their lower cmc spells first, disrupting their gameplan and the hidden guerrillas which are actually really good if any opponent has an artifact.

All right I updated the deck more over the past while.

Added Feldon's Cane to try to keep a grip on the late game. Took out Book Burning since it seemed to have too little impact on the game, at least compared to other things in the list. Took out Mogg Bombers for Lavaborn Muse for repeatable damage. Still going to keep the two beaters in the deck, but Took out Butcher Orgg for Kamahl, Pit Fighter. The fact he can tap to do a lighting bolt is better than the former. Another addition is Devastating Dreams as the finisher. Cards like Jayemdae Tome and (hopefully) Browbeat will draw me enough cards, and might even luck out & shuffle my graveyard into my libary afterward.

While I do agree with opponents choosing two different options a terrible idea most of the time, the thing is with damage and fairly low cmc means that eventually your opponent will just have to do what I want. It's not like Library of Lat-Nam, where its too expensive to play too much, and it's always going to be the far worse option. Least the way I see it. Also I'm going to replace Dwarven Ruins with Balduvian Trading Post when i can. Thing that sucks is I already ordered the cards before these recent revisions. So I guess I'll live with it until I see one. Same goes for the most of the other replacements.

Hi JarviReneil,

I really appreciate your suggestions! I had previously considered Mogg Bombers , but had written it off as too expensive (mana wise) for this deck. That said however, I never looked at it from the perspective you have presented and I am intrigued. I really like how you presented the card, your game play plan, the rulings, AND your personal game play experiences.

I have added your suggestion to the deck's maybeboard for further consideration.

Again, Thank you and best regards,
Pappy

The 1/25/2011 ruling for Mogg Bombers on Gatherer says:

"If multiple creatures enter the battlefield at the same time, the ability triggers once for each of them. You may choose a different target player or planeswalker for each time it triggers."

Paired with Krenko's ability, it's a multi-target Lightning Bolt carpetbomb! I've had games where my opponents were scratching their heads in response to this wild combo before I whip out the rulings.

Mogg Bombers . It's an obscure Goblin that boasts a hidden wincon--if you trigger Krenko, Mob Boss 's ability and, say, put 20 goblins on the deck, this will put 20 instances of Mogg Bomber's ability on the stack. And because Mogg Bomber's damage isn't dependent on its sacrifice, you essentially sac him once and deal 20*3 damage to target player!

@TaylorMK: While it is not impossible to build right now (As the only important piece missing is Anarchist, that can be replaced by Izzet Chronarch), it is unlikely to work in the combo version. There is another version (I've seen it done by other as Mono-Red, there's a couple of variants that could work (RB, RW, RG)) that focus a lot more on exploding your opponent in one Warp World but the main piece (Mogg Bombers) is temporarly out..

As for how fun it is (as it will likely be back in a future season), it is an absolute blast to play. Just look at this board state: https://imgur.com/a/fH6DtTP
