Polaris on Moraug + World At War

2 months ago

I think you have this correct.

When effects add extra phases to your turn, they're inserted where they say, in the order they occur. In this case, you are in your postcombat main phase, so your "main" part of the turn looks like this so far:

• Main
• Combat
• Main (you are here)
• End

After resolving Moraug, Fury of Akoum's trigger, you insert a combat phase after this phase and now have this:

• Main
• Combat
• Main (you are here)
• ->Combat (untap all creatures you control)
• End

After resolving World at War, which is valid as it is your first postcombat main phase right now, you insert a combat phase and a main phase after this phase and have this:

• Main
• Combat
• Main (you are here)
• ->Combat (untap all creatures that attacked this turn)
• ->Main
• Combat (untap all creatures you control)
• End

You could even take this a step further and crack that fetch land for another Moraug trigger and get a final turn looking like this:

• Main
• Combat
• Main (you are here)
• ->Combat (untap all creatures you control)
• Combat (untap all creatures that attacked this turn)
• Main
• Combat (untap all creatures you control)
• End

Pedrodamus on Moraug + World At War

And I know that in a perfect world if it's just World at War on top I play that before my land, but let's say i had to play that land off the top (which is how i got here while goldfishing) to reveal the World At War.

World at War is an old favorite of mine. Two combat phases for 5? Yes, please! My only reservation with Breath of Fury is it could potentially backfire if I don't have enough creatures out to make that loop happen. Insane upside, somewhat low downside - I'll continue contemplating on this one...

Also, Righteous War is great - that's got a spot even if I can't get it foiled.

World at War rebound is nice

Aggravated Assault to many intensive

Breath of Fury suggested earlier. Creates a game winning loop if your hand is right.

Very good question. Typically, I don't have an issue with mana, granted that's been with 36 lands in the list vs. 35 - I just added Mana Confluence back in over Chance for Glory as I have a couple ways to duplicate Kaalia of the Vast's triggers which is pretty close to an extra combat minus the "you lose the game at the next end step" condition in case things go south. Maybe World at War or Aggravated Assault?

I also run a significant amount of protection spells/effects to help keep Kaalia of the Vast alive, so maybe I cut make a cut there for another land and/or more card draw?

Finally, I really appreciate you and SufferFromEDHD's input here!

legendofa I’m back with some more. As always, weed out whatever you deem unsuitable. Sometime’s it’s difficult to tell what I’m looking at in some of these cards, sort of inverted pareidolia.

Probables:

•Umara Raptor normally I’d say the perspective is a little strange, but after watching a few falconer videos on YouTube this is indeed the usual positioning of the arm.

•Cast Through Time

•Semblance Anvil reflection is reversed, but I think this one probably fits the criteria.

•Trigons of Corruption, Infestation, Mending, Rage, Thought.

---

Doubtful:

•Disfigure (zendikar set, idk the abbreviation offhand to pull up the correct version here) perspective is questionable

•Expedition Map we might be looking through someone’s eyes, but it’s certainly not whoever those hands belong to.

•Recurring Insight this one doesn’t make any sense. How can we be looking into the reflection of someone’s eye and see ourselves looking in the opposite direction? Maybe this was from a scrapped M.C. Escher crossover set

•Sphinx-Bone Wand hands, and probably FPP, but almost certainly not from the point of view of whoever that hand belongs to.

•Suffer the Past if the tendrils count as hands, yes. If not, nah

•World at War angle is too low I think.

•Dissipation Field Honestly not sure. Are we looking through that woman’s eyes and seeing her own reflection? Or are we seeing a distorted image of her inside said dissipation field?

•Furnace Celebration I don’t think there’s anything here, but I’m not 100%.

•Sword of Body and Mind and Sword of Feast and Famine and Sword of War and Peace could potentially be FPP, but that would be strange.

•Darksteel Relic the angle is off

•Rally the Forces is like Furnace Celebration. Not positive, but probably nothing here.

FallopianGolem on Action Surge (Karlach Extra Attacks)

NV_1980, That looks like a Xenagos deck! There's a player in my regular group that has a Xenagos, God of Revels deck, so I wanted to do something different.

There's a few differences in our two decks, and I think it comes down to your deck's focus on mana production as a means to use cards Aggravated Assault and Moraug, Fury of Akoum more than once, and admittedly, I forgot that card existed. I'll definitely be adding it to my own list. I'll also be looking at adding World at War and potentially Relentless Assault. There are a few other cards I may look into swapping out as well.

My deck above has a "cheat creatures into play" sub theme. This allows me to trigger extra combats by cheating in creatures like Anzrag, the Quake-Mole or Scourge of the Throne on the first combat. Then using the second combat to trigger another combat step or two. With Karlach, Fury of Avernus in the command zone, I also wanted to make sure I was playing other creatures that made more combat steps. Like the aforementioned cards and Combat Celebrant. Running Fury of the Horde and Savage Beating helps add to that, but shouldnt be this deck's primary source of extra combat steps.

Generating a ton of mana via creatures attacking is great value, and it works well to allow both our decks to play one or more large creatures ahead of curve; however, there are some differences that appeal to different play styles in both decks. Looking at your list has definitely given me some extra ideas, but all and all, I think both decks have different sub themes that may appeal to a variety of other players. Thanks for the comment!

SufferFromEDHD +1 because of you, interesting deck.

Dualcaster Mage - For the combo potential with hit shimmer and twinflame, as well as general utility.

At the risk of being winmore, Alhammarret's Archive?

What is the point of squee, synergy with survival of the fittest? Reminds me of when I used to run Genesis for a similar interaction.

Skullclamp - Draw, or is it not needed?

Land Discussion

Do you have enough mountains to trigger valakut? I feel the slot would be better utilized with a Castle Garenbrig?

Command Tower/Cragcrown Pathway  ^Flip - Color fixing

Turntimber, Serpentine Wood  ^Flip - Utility

War Room - Draw

Extra Combat

Have you considered adding some extra combat step cards to trigger your commander's ability and deal additional damage such as Karlach, Fury of Avernus, Relentless Assault, Seize the Day, Scourge of the Throne, World at War, Breath of Fury, Combat Celebrant or my personal favorite Aggravated Assault?
