Kret on Mishra

1 month ago

If you're on a strict budget consider Mishra's Research Desk, Sandstone Oracle and Disciples of Gix.
I'd switch one of the single target kill spells for Soul Shatter because it usually hits 3 relevant creatures instead of just 1.
I'd also switch some basics for Rakdos Carnarium, Tainted Peak and Shadowblood Ridge.
You could really make use of some of the new cards from the black Warhammer 40k precon like Necron Deathmark or Illuminor Szeras

KBK7101 on FELDON EDH PRIMER: FELDON NEEDS SOME LOVE

11 months ago

Love Feldon! One of the best cards of all time, design-wise. Definitely an all-time favorite of mine. Your deck was definitely an inspiration in me building my own deck. Every time I visit this page I find something new that's super useful. Like, how have I never thought of adding Sandstone Oracle or Ancient Stone Idol??

phepa on Gilanra, Caller of Wirewood stack …

1 year ago

Hi, i have Gilanra, Caller of Wirewood on board and i want to use her ability to cast Sandstone Oracle . Can i do it like the Gilanra, Caller of Wirewood 's ability go on the stack first then Sandstone Oracle , so i will draw to opponent hand size + 1 card from Gilanra, Caller of Wirewood ability ?

Or casting Sandstone Oracle with that green mana somehow "trigger" 2nd part of that activated ability, so Gilanra, Caller of Wirewood 's ability go on the stack after i put Sandstone Oracle on the stack?

Thank you

Significant improvements with some old cards and some new cards

• Bloodgift Demon -> Sandstone Oracle
• Syphon Mind -> Knollspine Dragon
• Demonlord Belzenlok -> Valakut Awakening  ^Flip
• Cathartic Reunion -> Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire
• Magmatic Insight -> Nullpriest of Oblivion
• Tormenting Voice -> Burning-Rune Demon
• Maga, Traitor to Mortals -> Deflecting Swat
• Sword of Feast and Famine -> Hypnotic Specter
• Swiftfoot Boots -> Abrade
• Mind Twist -> Myojin of Night's Reach
• Geode Golem -> Tibalt's Trickery
• Command Beacon -> Mountain
• Swamp -> Mountain
• Swamp -> Blightstep Pathway  ^Flip

Overall, the changes are a reduction of rummaging in favor of tutors and enablers, switching around the protection to instant-speed responses, and addition of Myojin of Night's Reach , which is a wincon.

Strangelove on All-Form One, One-Form All [Orvar Goodstuff]

2 years ago

+1 Snake_Oil!

Here's my WIP build, Orvar Clones!

Aside from the body and tempo, cards like Merfolk Wayfinder, Augur of Bolas, Triton Fortune Hunter don't seem that useful to me as clone targets. I went for Wavebreak Hippocamp and fat-draw sphinxes like Sandstone Oracle.

Coveted Jewel and Parallel Thoughts are MVP.

Just a reminder, Snap, etc. don't clone lands (you the player chooses them, so they're not spells that "target") ...They're still good tho.

Have you considered Torrential Gearhulk or Scholar of the Lost Trove? I'm avoiding infinites, so flooding these as bodies really appeals to me.
