Chaospyke on Milling into Exile

1 week ago

If cards milled by Ripples of Undeath are milled into exile by Rest in Peace is it possible to return the exiled cards to hand by RoU's effect as RoU doesn't reference the graveyard at all.

Icbrgr on Is Enchantment Destruction in Black …

As far as power level I think the card is fine... I wont lie if your playing a budget mono colored deck its nice to not have to resort to Ratchet Bomb for something like Rest in Peace. Granted one is 3 mana instant and the other is a 2 mana sorcery its awesome to know that even if it isn't on you opening hand they are both nice to see if you draw into them.

Granted its a little weird for colors overlapping in capabilities but overall I think its a boon for budget players so long as WOTC stays true to the idea of colors {X} and {Y} are great at doing a thing but {Z} at least can do it.

Stax is the most outrageous villian and azorius (Blue/White) loves stax.

Grand Arbiter Augustin IV or Lavinia, Azorius Renegade with effects like Mana Vortex, Winter Orb, Rest in Peace, Peacekeeper, Meekstone, and Armageddon will keep everyone begging for resources.

Or you could play Urza, Lord High Artificer and be the only one not affected by Static Orb.

{U}{B}{R} - Marchesa, the Black Rose. She's typically played in 1 of 2 ways: temporary theft (that becomes permanent with Marchesa's ability) and/or etb/death triggers. The deck is very resilient... alternate sources of +1+1 counters and a sac outlet make your board very difficult for your opponents to interact with.

Her main weaknesses are effects like Rest in Peace that mess with graveyards, Solemnity, decks like Omnath, Locus of Rage that can do lots of noncombat damage to your face, lots of non-destroy wraths, and enchantments in general thanks to Grixis colors.

White is the true evilest color

Red does have a lot more raw combo potential esp. when paired with black/blue. But once you start building like that you're getting into cEDH territory. All depends on the sort of deck you want to build. If you want to keep the flavor of your mono black i.e. reanimate-y combo-y sacrifice-y, with the insidious ability to tutor and win out of nowhere, I'd say Golgari or Rakdos are probably the best colors you could expand into. In general 1 or 2-color will have waaaaayyy more options in terms of specific commander synergies, as well as more powerful effects from your commander in general. (whereas more colors give you more flexibility and power ceiling, from using a wider card pool, but I think this can often make decks feel more generic). Green compliments black really well with its resilient ramp, creature+land tutors to assemble combos, and more flexible removal. While Rakdos decks are often insanely aggressive and stompy, with some of the scariest reanimation targets. Though you can also build them to be more focused on attrition, board control, and prison effects. On the other hand if you wanted to be more controlling and oppressive, you'd probably want to be Dimir, Esper, or Grixis--or WURB which I believe is the most popular cEDH color combo. Hope that helps and good luck building!

I am moving away from counterspells that can't target creatures. I left in Dovin's Veto only because it can't be countered. If there were more counterspells that countered all spells and only cost 2 or less, I would add them. I own an original Legends Mana Drain and it's in my Oloro deck now. I had to make a choice with Rest in Peace. I decided to cut it because I wanted to be able to return cards out of my graveyard. I didn't like the graveyard exiling version of this deck so I reverted it and improved the win conditions. I don't currently run enough enchantments for Hall of Heliod's Generosity to be useful. As long as I am able to keep Soldevi Digger and Planar Portal in play, I can return ANY type of card from my graveyard back to my hand. Academy Ruins makes sure that can happen as often as needed. We will always disagree with Reflecting Pool. I cannot afford to draw it in my opening hand as my only land in this deck. It's an instant mulligan. I considered every single land currently printed in magic that can tap for any color. I decided against Glimmervoid and a few others a long time ago. I don't want artifact removal also destroying my land. It's not a good plan. Archway of Innovation is a great land for heavy artifact decks but not for this deck. Most of my artifacts tap for more mana than I would get from using it or have other abilities and need to be untapped to use. The only other card I'm still debating on adding is Isochron Scepter. I may still cut something for it. Run a few playtests with this so you can really see why I made the choices I did. You'll understand more then. Also, I'm preparing to make a different version of this deck with Sivitri, Dragon Master as the commander.

Ok, what's the thinking behind Deprive? Big fan of this card but I'm not seeing how it fits into this specific strategy. Lands don't matter and you can't ramp. Do you own Mana Drain? Made for ramping into artifacts.

Energy Field this card is oozing with nostalgia for me but with Rest in Peace cut you have no way of turning off the bad trigger. Perhaps Hall of Heliod's Generosity for easy recursion of it and your other scary stax pieces that will be major targets?

Those two rainbow lands still stand out like a sore thumb. We will agree to disagree on Reflecting Pool. What about Glimmervoid?

Archway of Innovation potential new toy. Turn your stax pieces into mana rocks.

Last_Laugh on Marchesa the Black Rose - Sacrifices must be made!

Not a bad start, but I do have several suggestions for you. I'll keep things budget friendly and break it down by category.

Finisher: Gray Merchant of Asphodel will end games. With alternate sources of +1+1 counters the lifegain doesn't matter at all. Even with an expensive Marchesa build, this is my #1 go-to finisher.

Alternate +1+1 Counter Sources: Vigean Graftmage is really good here. It comes down before and immediately protects Marchesa and it's 2 free sacs on each player's turn (itself plus 1 other). Sage of Fables likewise immediately protects Marchesa and allows you to abuse any wizard etb/death triggers every turn. Unspeakable Symbol is one you use in response to removal targeting anything without a counter (don't proactively put counters on everyone).

Card Draw: Grim Haruspex is easily your 2nd best draw engine here behind Danny Pink. Liliana's Standard Bearer will draw cards for everything that died the turn Marchesa returns it. Plumb the Forbidden helps you dodge non-destroy wraths (instant speed and pseudo dodging counterspells makes this card). Lethal Scheme helps you surprise protect up to 4 creatures without counters without tapping lands and to remove a creature while drawing some cards.

Enchantment Removal: Cards like Solemnity and Rest in Peace are the bane of Marchesa. Don't get caught with your pants down... Chaos Warp, Feed the Swarm, and Canoptek Tomb Sentinel are your only 3 realistic options and ALL 3 deserve spots.

Feel free to check out my list for ideas, I've had her built for about 9 years straight now so if you have any question, shoot. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated (especially Marchesa since it'd be upvote #200 lol). Every Masochist Needs a Marchesa to Love Them
