Belfore on Yuriko

1 month ago

Personally I like the combo of Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive, Volrath's Shapeshifter and Phage the Untouchable for an insta-kill assassination even though it is a little janky.

Tryptic on COWABUNGA!!! Turtle power is a great toughness!

Belfore on Hidden Blade

Sorta surprised no Grazilaxx, Illithid Scholar or Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive to help reuse your ninja's damage abilities. Another thing you might consider since you are not leaning into Yuriko's ability all that much and don't have the big creatures for Satoru.

I would say if you want to lean more into Yuriko, drop the ninja that don't have an on hit or tribal buff. Then get some bigger cost with some to deck manipulation for some bigger hits with her.

If you want to lean into Satoru, like Yuriko drop those ninja, except this way grap some bigger bodies like Vela the Night-Clad could be useful this way.

Just a couple of things to think about off the to of my head.

Azeure on Nobody has the intention of building a Wall

Eloniel Ohhh! Thank you for the in-depth analysis on Plagon, Lord of the Beach. I completely missed the fact that it, by itself, would be useless as an attacker since it doesn't have Defender. I completely agree now that it would simply sit as an unstable draw engine.

Been also wanting to add Weathered Sentinels for a long time on my Arcades deck but it's currently still too expensive and I wouldn't want to exceed my $100 budget. So it's gonna be either that or Crystal Barricade.

I was also finally able to find the opportunity to play Arcades on a complete pod after returning and also agree that Brave the Sands seems like a good choice to be swapped out for a wall with better utility. Since most of the time, opponents would have blockers for the walls on the ground while the evasive ones I'd rather play safe and use for swinging instead of using as blockers.

Thanks for bringing Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa up, after looking at him once again, I just realized that he would actually work well with The Pride of Hull Clade! I was mulling over him since Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive doesn't work with him which puts the 15 toughness to waste if the opponents have blockers. I'll probably bring him back in my deck as well after some testing.

In blue, Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive for unblockable goblins. Not very useful when combined with buffs/lords.

More White,

Probably already considered, but Mondrak or Anointed Procession. Also a bunch of token/weeny specific white and artifact cards dedicated to you drawing (such as Idol of Oblivion or Mentor of the Meek).

Rise of the Hobgoblins for tokens and some utility.

Abiding Grace if your running at least 10-15 cheap goblins and/or support.

Fanatical Devotion: Lose your tokens to save your threats.

Crow_Umbra on What commander should I run?

Here is a Scryfall list of potential mono-blue commanders that cost $4 or less. It's an extensive list, but a few options that stand out:

• Baral, Chief of Compliance - Pretty solid option if you really want to lean in on Counter spells.

• Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive - Little Guys Matter deck

• Geralf, the Fleshwright or Geralf, Visionary Stitcher - Mono Blue Zombies, which can lean a bit more aggro than other Mono Blue options.

• Kopala, Warden of Waves - Mono Blue Merfolk, and provides some protection for your fish.

• Eluge, the Shoreless Sea - One of the newest mono blue options. It's a big fish that gets bigger and makes your first instant or sorcery cost less to cast.

9-lives on Tetsuko Umezawa and Prosthetic Injector

1 year ago

If I use Prosthetic Injector and I put it on a card to where it has more than 1 toughness, and that's the only attribute at 1, would that negate Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive's ability to give it unblockable?

DarkKiridon on The Walls are closing in!!!

Interesting thing to note is that using Sight of the Scalelords makes Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive useless, unfortunately.
