Ash_Karath on Meren Sacrifice Shenanigans

Hi! Thanks for the comments! :)

Got some new cards yesterday, updated the deck accordingly. Removed these cards: Izoni, Thousand-Eyed The Gitrog Monster Smothering Abomination Unearth

I put in these: Spore Frog Viscera Seer Braids, Arisen Nightmare Animate Dead

Birthing Pod and Attrition is under consideration.

My budget? Well, I can't really spend more than 50 Euros for a single card... Total direction? Hmm. Not really sure what you mean. Do you think the deck theme is too spread out? And yes, I'll gladly discuss more! :)

You're def on the right track KBK7101, since God-Eternal Bontu was included in the stock precon list (along with Korvold, Fae-Cursed King and The Gitrog Monster).

Bontu is solid for sure. I've used it in a couple of Aristocrats decks before. I'll reconsider it as I play-test more, especially if I feel like I need another pseudo-evasive beater.

I want to put this deck together in paper, but am weighing my options on picking up the last 7 cards I don't currently own:

I'm considering which proxy service is fastest, or maybe picking up a couple of the cards listed here, and swapping the other slots for cards I already own in the next accordion block:

These are all prime candidates for swaps, until I figure out how and which of the others to pick up:

Other candidates for consideration:

Bookrook on Ingenuitive deck

I was at a pioneer fnm yesterday. There was a deck I played against that was really cool that I hadn’t seen before. It was a dimir control shell that splashed green for two cards: 4x Spelunking and 4x The Gitrog Monster. The one other thing with the deck was the manabase. It was 4 Evolving Wilds, 4x Terramorphic Expanse, 4x Escape Tunnel, 4x undercity sewers, and a bunch of basics. All of the fetch lands triggered the gitrog monster to get massive card advantage. Another cool interaction was all of the fetches triggering Fatal Push. I went 1-2 against it with Esper greasefang, and it went 3-0 for the tournament. I was wondering if any modern players knew if it would be better in modern, since the fetch lands there are way better.

Rhadamanthus on Ketramose + Planar Void

TypicalTimmy has the right idea.

First, your understanding of Planar Void is correct. It's a triggered ability that triggers when the card goes to the graveyard. When the trigger resolves, the card moves from the graveyard to exile.

If something happens during the Cleanup step that requires a triggered ability to be put onto the stack or a state-based action to be performed, then the game will deal with those things in the normal way, including giving players priority to take actions, and will start another Cleanup step right after it. This will continue until the game finally gets through a Cleanup where none of these extra things needed to happen.

In your example this means if you discard any cards to get down to your max hand size during Cleanup, Planar Void will trigger, causing Ketramose, the New Dawn to trigger. The game will start another Cleanup, you will need to discard again because of the card you drew from Ketramose, and you will keep doing this until you lose from having 0 life or from trying to draw from an empty library.

It's interesting to note that a similar interaction with the Cleanup step is sometimes also used as a "feature" in The Gitrog Monster decks. This Ketramose/Planar Void interaction could also be used as a feature if you have something keeping you from losing the game in one or more of these ways (Angel's Grace, Phyrexian Unlife etc.).

514.3. Normally, no player receives priority during the cleanup step, so no spells can be cast and no abilities can be activated. However, this rule is subject to the following exception:
514.3a At this point, the game checks to see if any state-based actions would be performed and/or any triggered abilities are waiting to be put onto the stack (including those that trigger “at the beginning of the next cleanup step”). If so, those state-based actions are performed, then those triggered abilities are put on the stack, then the active player gets priority. Players may cast spells and activate abilities. Once the stack is empty and all players pass in succession, another cleanup step begins.

MTGShiddur, The Gitrog Monster is not in this deck's color identity.

The Gitrog Monster would be a good add here. LMK if you wanna borrow mine.

I concur with everything Balaam__ said except the lore. It's not that it's all bad in and of itself, it's that it rarely has a strong coordination with the lore of the cards and it's often one story or character decision that ends up ruining the whole thing. There have been some good stories, but more often than not they are the standalones, such as the Akroan Wrestling story or The Gitrog Monster story.

I'd also like to add that the gameplay of MMORPG would have to be similar enough to Magic:The Gathering to have the same feel, but different and original enough that pieces could not easily translate to one or the other. Otherwise you'll only have either players finding the MMORPG cheaper to play than the cards or old-school players such as myself rejecting the premise entirely 'cause why play online when yer already pretending to be a Planeswalker physically?

Hi there,

I too have a Dredge deck and thought I would offer my 2 pence worth (for what its worth lol).

So there is a couple dredge cards you may be missing, or may have considered and not put in.

  1. Life from the Loam
  2. Golgari Thug
  3. Stinkweed Imp
  4. Golgari Grave-Troll

Especially think Life from the Loam would be a really good include as you are wanting their to be lands in your graveyard, but you may need them out.

May as well also go for the whole group of Cycling lands (like Tranquil Thicket) as you will be able to trigger draws, which then let you dredge more.

The card I use as a commander could work in your 99 - The Mycotyrant. Gives you tokens for putting permanents in your graveyard. (Here is my deck if you fancy a little look Fungus, Among'us - Mycotyrant Dredge/Descend.

With Dakmor Salvage, if you have The Gitrog Monster and Skirge Familiar you can essentially have infinite mana, as you discard the Salvage - in place of draw effect from Gitrog, Dredge Dakmor back to your hand netting 1 further card in your graveyard, and then can repeat as much as you wish.

Hope thats useful at least - And of course a thumbs up for 1. Being Golgari, and 2. Being Dredge
