Flarhoon13 on Game of Thrones: Sylvia Brightspear's Dragons

5 months ago

Oct 25 Game of Thrones: Khorvath Brightflame and Sylvia Brightspear's other Dragons lost to Jesse's Surrak Dragonclaw deck's Primal Surge. A long 5-player game that Logan left early, down to 9 life, his Web of Inertia and goading commander Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainer (Clan Crafter background) definitely kept him alive and impacted the game. I had a giant air force and solid Knights on the ground. (Sylvia, White Knight and Paladin en-Vec team blocked Surrak Dragonclaw to kill Surrak Dragonclaw when Logan used a Threaten spell to attack me with Jesse's commander.) Dawson on Jared Carthalion with Umori, the Collector Companion agreed not to hit my board with Vraska, Golgari Queen but Ba played his commander, Morophon, the Boundless, named Avatar and put out Child of Alara. Vraska, Golgari Queen -3 destroyed Child of Alara and with it, about 7 of my knights and dragons. Jesse though, Primal Surged and the other instant or sorcery in his deck, Mystical Tutor, was about 5th from the bottom. Jace, Wielder of Mysteries and more than enough card draw triggers got Jesse the win.

Gidgetimer on Why Do Some Players Keep …

Personally I don't want them to drop the legend rule. I would much rather that they go back to just a few legendaries per set. The recent glut of legendaries is ostensibly for players like me, but I don't like it. I also don't like that every set has to connect into the multiversal adventures of "our heroes" which is, I feel part of the problem. When the antagonist is a multiversal threat it will be the legendary inhabitants of the realm that rise up to fight it. Not some random White Knight or Bomber Corps.

Squee_Spirit_Guide, good call on Honor of the Pure. It would be another great anthem card to have alongside Always Watching and Benalish Marshal. Admittedly, I wasn’t 100% sure about Serra's Embrace; I think I wanted it in there more out of nostalgia than anything else, but it does feel like filler compared to everything else I have going on.

I’m definitely going to look into options for replacing Deftblade Elite. With this being a soldier deck, I feel like I’ll need to put in one-drops to replace it so the deck can play fast enough (although White Knight does look pretty sweet). However, I think this deck could benefit from abilities given by larger creatures. What are your thoughts on this?

Thank you very much for the feedback!

Nice build, as usual! Straight to the point, and nice synergy. As far as suggestions, I think Honor of the Pure could be a nice buff alongside your Glorious Anthem, maybe in place of Serra's Embrace. I agree with Balaam__ that the Deftblade Elites are a little weak. I'd go for the classic White Knight or Knight of the Holy Nimbus for fun. He's a little on the expensive side, but Darien, King of Kjeldor could be really strong here as a one-of.

lhetrick13 I like Worthy Knight because it gets more creatures on the board with every knight I cast. While the tokens it makes aren't knights, they've still been very useful in most situations. I do like White Knight though, so I'll add it to the maybeboard and try it out a little bit

Worthy Knight seems like an odd choice for this deck as you don't have anything in the deck to power up the humans created since you are not running Benalish Marshal. I would suggest taking her out in exchange for something like White Knight unless you have a reason for the extra 1/1 humans. I do run her in my "tribal" knight deck but pair her with Thalia's Lieutenant to get some synergy between the two and the fact most knights are humans to boot. Otherwise, I really like the deck!

sergiodelrio on Neyith and Commander Color Rules

3 years ago

Nope. A card's color, as referenced in-game by cards is determined by its casting cost, color indicator or a color defing ability.

For Commander deckbuilding, there is a slightly different concept of Color Identity.

Direct quote from the link:

"For example, while Fires of Undeath is a card, and Silver Knight has protection from it and White Knight does not. It can't be used by a player who uses Kumano, Master Yamabushi as their General in a game of Commander. This is because the color identity of Fires of Undeath is and is not a subset of the color-identity of Kumano ()"

In your example, Neyith cannot go inside the Tatyove deck because of the portion of the hybrid symbol in Neyth's text box, which adds that color to its color identity (but not to its color)

Gidgetimer on Pithing Needle vs. Infection

4 years ago

No. Infect is a static ability that changes the result of damage. It doesn't target anything, activate, or trigger. The only way to stop the counters (-1/-1 or poison) is to prevent the damage. White Knight , Champion Lancer and Fog will stop Hand of the Praetors from placing -1/-1 counters. Gladecover Scout , Algae Gharial , and Stifle will not.
