TheRoaringRegisaur on Ajani's Pride

1 day ago

If you want a land that has you gain life, I'd do Blossoming Sands instead of Scoured Barrens because you actually have a card (Shalai, Voice of Plenty) that could potentially use it. It's extremely you'd have the two green mana, but it's better than nothing. I also wouldn't run 4 Shadowspears because they're legendary... you can only have one out at a time and since they're artifacts they're more likely to stay on the battlefield than a creature.

Last_Laugh on Historic Doctor

3 weeks ago

Just a heads up... there are several cards in your deck that work when Romana makes tokens but not when your Dr. makes tokens due to a rules technicality. Tokens that are the result of copying a permanent spell (6th Dr/Lithoform Engine) aren't created and won't trigger cards like Parallel Lives, Adrix & Nev, or Primal Vigor. It's rule 111.12 if you feel like looking it up (or I have it in my deck's description, link below.).

You're stuck copying the Dr.'s uncast spell copy with Errant, Street Artist, copying the Dr.'s trigger with Lithoform, or copying his tokens after they hit the field with stuff like Esika's Chariot and/or Second Harvest.

I also recommend both Shalai, Voice of Plenty and Sigarda, Font of Blessings. When your Dr makes a token copy of either, they'll protect one another and your board.

Feel free to check out my list for ideas and rule 111.12. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Dopplegangbangers - Historic Flash Convoke Copies

OUT: Agitator Ant, Orzhov Advokist, Death-Greeter's Champion, Doomskar Warrior

IN: Shalai, Voice of Plenty, Bristly Bill, Spine Sower, Railway Brawler, Rhythm of the Wild

The next round of Improvements. While I like the cards like the Agitator Ant and Orzhov Advokist, they potentially give my opponents a leg up later in the game. Replacing them with things that help my board more is generally better.

Next up will be helping the land base out a little bit more.

Darb_the_Bard on Buttercup: Princess Bride

Cutting Wasteland Viper is less straightforward to me. I like that it can be used at instant speed to surprise someone with deathtouch, which could mean causing your unblocked creature to create two poison counters with Westley, or it could mean surprise-killing a creature that your opponent thought was blocking favorably. You could even give deathtouch to an opposing creature, taking out a threat when you're not even involved in the combat. And I like that, in a pinch, the Viper could be used to buff Buttercup's power by 1, which could sometimes be the difference between tutoring for the creature you want or not. Of course, all of those are somewhat niche situations and you have to be holding up the one green mana. And if I had one green mana available, I wonder if I would truly choose to hold it up or to simply put the Viper on the board...

As for Spark Double, it's a generically powerful card so it would never be bad. It would be useful to double up on Reki, the History of Kamigawa for more card draw or Jodah, the Unifier to double his buff, or get a second copy of Shalai, Voice of Plenty so they give each other hexproof. It doesn't do anything for the keyword soup strategy since we only need 1 of each keyword on board, but it could copy Westley to double the poison counter we create, or copy Jegantha for even more mana. There's a lot you could with it. Having two copies of Halana and Alena, Partners could also get crazy, as they could buff each other on each of your combats.

And I like that it even gives itself a +1/+1 counter to synergize with Max! That's probably my favorite part. If it dies while Max is on the battlefield, then it comes back at the next end step and can copy something else (or the same thing if it's still around), and it even enters with another +1/+1 counter so it creates a slow loop that can potentially happen over and over. This one might be too good to pass up, so I'll have to find room for it...

I think it has even come down in price as I swear it used to cost more money. Still not "budget" necessarily but it's a reasonable price for what it does. Thanks for the suggestion!

DreadKhan on Sisay's Horny Spaceship

Well, as I was saying, if you use Sisay to fetch Maralen on the end step before your turn, you'll get Maralen's trigger first, meaning you can find Opposition Agent right away, cast it, and then only worry about stopping interaction people have in hand. Most decks (depends on meta for sure! some are crazy heavy on removal, some run almost none and go fast) don't run very much removal these days, so odds are reasonable that people won't have any. If they do you just move on to plan #2 I figure, not sure if that's worth it! TBH you can also run Shalai, Voice of Plenty as the follow up to Maralen, you do need 8 mana total but you can have Sisay fetch out Shalai the turn you cast Opposition Agent, Shalai means people will need 2 solid removal spells, so you might be safe and nobody draws another card while you steal their best cards for you each turn, which is even better if you get out the Puzzle Box, at that point you are 'drawing' a card off of each opponent's draw step, so you'll have plenty of cards even if you can't draw anymore yourself. I'm actually very fond of Stax, but a strong lock is a good way to win as any IMHO.

I'm not yet on discord, but I'll keep it in mind!

Going to list a bunch of cards you probably don't want in your deck for fun

Shalai, Voice of Plenty, decent protection and mana sink

Gwenna, Eyes of Gaea, you only have like 3-4 hits for the untap so meh

Akroma's Will killer card, and it's instant speed

The Weatherseed Treaty is... cute? one less land than kodama's reach, but it then makes a token, then it gives a creature like +2/+2... Ok not amazing, but it does give trample too?

Congregation at Dawn cute tutor

Angel of Grace is a lot of mana to hold up when your opponent will likely just combo for an alt win con but it's also based

Rosie Cotton of South Lane doesn't do a ton for you but it's cute. And it combos with Herd Baloth or Scurry Oak if you're into that.

Farmer Cotton not flash unfortunately, but it is an X token creator and it makes food too which is cute?

The Battle of Bywater is also cute, although you don't care about food, and your alternatives give you other benefit like having a side castable in the graveyard

Broodhatch Nantuko cute blocker, otherwise trash. Same with similar card Druid's Call

Mosswort Bridge feels decent when you know for sure your commander has that 10 power condition satisfied.

Traverse the Outlands based card, can be sad when your big creature is removed in response, but it's based so...

Strionic Resonator is honestly decent, you have a decent number of triggered abilities. I guess Lithoform Engine is also valid there

BotaNickill It's true that Giada, Font of Hope has made t2 a pretty important turn for this deck, if we have both her and Bishop of Wings what you play will pretty much determine our strategy for your next few turns. But overall we want bishop first. Think that every angel you cast with Bishop still in hand, is a bishop trigger you miss.

Of course this is not a rule, and there are many exception depending on the match up and mainly which one opens more plays with the rest of your hand. But I'll say that most exceptions normally involve ramping:

1- If we need her to ramp in t3 a t4 play. For example, in my build Giver of Runes, into Giada, Font of Hope into Shalai, Voice of Plenty or Sigarda, Font of Blessings is almost as good or even better depending on the matchup than Resplendent Angel online on t3. Or if we have both Giada and bishop, but also Youthful Valkyrie we may want to go Giada first so we can play the other 2 on t3 for a way more aggressive play.

2- If you kept a 2 lander without an Aether Vial or the vial has been removed, specially on the draw. We can't afford to miss our first landrops.

Overall, I'll say that if you don't need ramping next turn, Bishop is the best first option more often than not.
