StarRushford on You’ll Float Too (Balloon Man) Casual

4 months ago

Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation  ^Flip is a little over $20, but is really good in... well... any token deck that includes white.

Probably outside your budget but if you want to upgrade you should totally get Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation  ^Flip or Mondrak, Glory Dominus as they are both practically custom made for this kind of deck. Moonshaker Cavalry would also be a fantastic wincon and it's much cheaper at only $10.

Since you're probably only ever reanimating hares Dewdrop Cure is great because it can get you 3 for 3 mana.

StarRushford on Myrel, Shield of Argive

I made a Myrel deck, I took him more control than soldiers, though. Still, neat! You probably want Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation  ^Flip, Anointed Procession, or, as NV_1980 said above, Mondrak, Glory Dominus.

Why?

I would consider this update the final trimming of the really fatty parts of this deck. The main goal here was to remove some cards that only semi-synergized with the deck and to replace them with cards that really shine light on where this deck succeeds. These changes massively upgrade the token generation capability and the payoff for having them. The cards removed from here were in no ways bad cards, they just didn't quite see eye-to-eye with what the deck should be doing: Generating tokens and being very aggressive, punishing a lack of removal and interaction while also being resilient to creature board wipes. The legion always has more bodies to throw at the problem. See notes on each removal/addition and my thought process for doing so below:

Removed

General Kudro of Drannith: Kudro is a very interesting choice, but has 2 big downsides: He requires sacrificing of humans and is restricted to only dealing with creatures with power 4 or greater. This deck doesn't generate enough human tokens to justify using the second ability, especially since I'm limited to only targeting creatures with power 4 or greater. Often threats appear in the form of artifacts, enchantments or weenies that can deny my board and unfortunately, Kudro isn't equipped to handle these.

Lethal Scheme: Probably the worst card of the bunch. At best it's 0 mana to destroy 1 creature/planeswalker, at worst it's 4 mana to destroy 1 creature/planeswalker. Not great removal, and I have plenty of other removal spells

Fervent Charge: The ideal situation is to not have to rely on attack damage to kill my opponents, it's more about the attack triggers here. I think Mirror entity is just a much better/cheaper version of this card if I'm trying to win off of attack damage. It also provides no other value past +2/+2 to only attacking creatures

Commander's Sphere: I'm not starving for card draw, especially with the One Ring, and the extra mana rock is fine, but a nice to have more than anything.

Skullclamp: Similar to Command Sphere, the card draw is nice, but often my tokens end up being used for attacking or attack triggers and quickly build up past 1/1s, so Skullclamp becomes useless. Ashnod's Alter provides much more value than Skullclamp especially when combined with X-cost spells.

Queen Marchesa: She's pretty threatening just because she has Deathtouch and haste, Monarch is also a huge plus, but the last part of the card is way too slow. Generating 1 token with deathtouch per turn just isn't worth passing monarch back and forth between players, and once she's gone, all I am left with is Monarch, her having deathtouch incintivises me to use her to kill a big threat, but her 2rd ability incintivises me to keep her alive, which conflicts with Deathtouch/Haste.

Teysa Karlov: There's like no death triggers in this deck, only sacrifice triggers, and honestly I don't want to build into benefiting off of death triggers, so her first ability provides essentially nothing. Her second ability is a huge up side, but she never stuck around long enough to really use it, and other cards provide me vigilance.

Craig Boone, Novac Guard: Boone essentailly reads "Target player takes X damage where X is the number of Quest Counters on him", he's a cool card, but any good player would take face damage over having their important card be killed. The life gain and reach were big incintives to keeping him in the deck, but he's too slow and doesn't synergize enough with the rest of the deck.

Diabolic Tutor: Worse Demonic Tutor

The Nipton Lottery: I love this card. It's so chaotic and leans into my gambling addiction, but overall, Austere Command is the better boardwipe

Added

Rabble Rousing: Great enchantment to really pump out the tokens, pretty similar to Horn of Gondor and also is less punishing to my board when blocks happen. Ensures I will always be replacing any blocked tokens.

Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation  ^Flip: Triple the tokens = triple the fun. Gives me more options than Annointed Processon

Goblin Bombardment: Need to push some extra damage/kill a target? We have tons of tokens to do so. Start killing the tokens generated and hit face. Darien + Goblin Bombardment + Bastion of Rememberance = win condition. In fact, Darien + Goblin Bombardment is a pretty nasty way to generate tokens if I start pinging myself for 1 damage and have a Annointed Processon/Ojer Taq on board. Super flexible card when attacking isn't an option

Impact Tremors: We're generating all these tokens, let's get another purphoros adjacent card in the deck to do some real damage more consistently

Ashnod's Altar: When combined with an X-cost spell like Grand Crescendo, or Secure the Wastes, you can double the amount of tokens you have out already

Darien, King of Kjeldor: Punishes hitting my face as well as just an overall good combo enabler.

Greymond, Avacyn's Stalwart: Probably the best human tribal card in Magic, while he doesn't enable alot of my tokens, he gives all my humans insane amounts of value. Since almost all of my creatures spells are human, I think he will be a huge boon.

Mirror Entity: This card is super versatile. I can use it to pump my tokens, avoid board wipes like Austere Command and Meathook Massacre, but it can also be used to turn my tokens into humans/soldiers for cards like Greymond, Horn of Gondor, Myrel, ect.... I have a feeling this card will be a great enabler.

Austere Command: Selective Boardwipe, what's more to say?

Demonic Tutor: Better Diabolic Tutor

Mark1974 on Zinnia and Warleader's Call in …

8 months ago

So I had Zinnia, Valley's Voice and a Warleader's Call in play, and then I played Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation  ^Flip for which I used Zinnia's Offspring ability by paying two more...

I ended up with one Ojer Taq, and did 4 damage to all my opponents... We were in doubt if there should not be there Temple of Civilization copies because of double-sided rule changes?

In truth, I have no clue how the mechanics work in this scenario... so... help please?

Last_Laugh on Question Regarding Stacking Triggers

9 months ago

So I have Isshin, Two Heavens as One, Carmen, Cruel Skymarcher (w/ 2x +1+1 counters), and Hero of Bladehold equipped with Anduril, Narsil Reforged (w/ cities blessing) in play and Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation  ^Flip in my grave.

I attacked w/ Carmen and Hero of Bladehold. Am I able to stack my triggers so that Carmen gets 2 counters (from Anduril) making her 6 power so I can return Ojer Taq, then 12 tokens enter from 2x Hero triggers, then 2nd Anduril trigger, and then the 2 battle cry triggers?

Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation  ^Flip mentions creature tokens specifically, and therfore doesn't work great with the Map tokens in that format '^^

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Purphoros, God of the Forge seems like the perfect pair

You can finally pair Gisela, the Broken Blade  ^Meld + Bruna, the Fading Light  ^Meld

Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation  ^Flip + Mondrak, Glory Dominus for crazy tokens

You could finally partner Brothers Yamazaki and Brothers Yamazaki

Parnering Felix Five-Boots and Isshin, Two Heavens as One seems fun.
