SteelSentry on What cards deserve to be …

3 years ago

As someone without a consistent playgroup, I think a banlist is good to have; it allows a mostly consistent play environment from store to store, and without it there would be a million U/G decks built around Prophet and getting as many Primeval Titan and Sylvan Primordial clones as possible. However, there are a few cards like Braids, Cabal Minion or Worldfire that are by no means worse than cards that are allowed, like Worldpurge or Static Orb.

If Biorhythm is on the ban list Tooth and Nail absolutely should be. Of Sway of the Stars is on the list so should Worldpurge. But I'm more in favor of unbanning a few if the things on the list.

@Caerwyn: Exterminated Akroma's Memory. Decided to refrain from cutting Worldpurge ; seems too awesome in any deck running . What about Bruna, Light of Alabaster ? She seems to want a lot of Auras for herself at CMC6. As for what other thing to cut, I got the prime suspects remaining for Enchantment Tutoring (Heliod would kill beyond death anyone who'd remove such a land from Modern Horizons...) needing quite some cuts. With 5 Rounds, only one actually in the overall 5 Star-Style Revolver Chamber, who'd not to cut, but rather to kill?

I don't know what I'd cut; though that Heliod's Pilgrim seems to do less than the others... What do you aim for as a target as you making 5 cards play Russian Roulette? Which card wants you to pull the trigger...? (I feel like- no; I'm not severing my chain any further; though there was a game similar to this, but w/ plot...) & yes, I apologize for that reference, & yes, I know it's a bad one as well; I'm just setting the mood; improperly.

hindugangsta on How to Have Fun in EDH - Phelddagrif Surprise

Hey man - I recently copied, added duals, and played this deck at an event at my lgs, and got 1st place! Couldn't believe how fun it was, and like an opponent mentioned "you just sit back and chill and watch the chaos infront of you." Worldpurge saved my bacon more than once. I also replaced Fecundity with Borrowing 100,000 Arrows because the name is funnier and I often play against decks where people swing a lot, and it's a good way to recoup after a battle.

I’m an advocate for BIG board wipes. Some people may not be for it, but I shamelessly suggest Worldpurge or Sunder . If not playing edh, Sway of the Stars and Upheaval .

NetholonTheArchmage on Goatmum goes EPIC

A really nice decklist you've put together here, it's worthy of the great goat-mother! I love all the weird litle synergies between the cards. Exspecially the combination of Oblivion Ring , Worldpurge and Barren Glory is just phenomenal, as Barren Glory is simply one of the funniest alternate wincons ever printed!

For the suggestions there's only one card I think would fit in this deck perfectly: Clever Impersonator can be everything you want and is just a better Phyrexian Metamorph in my opinion. You might also be running booth for even more fun ;) Simply imagine to have 3x Assemble the Legion in combination with Paradox Haze ...

Maybe you are also interested in having a look at my own Zedruu-decklist: Zedruu, Enlightened Master :)

So you are technically correct in that I can choose which to use. My whole point is, I can't get both at the same time, and Lich is better than dredge. Period. Until they ban Underrealm Lich in this format, I'll not be putting dredge back into this deck.

Secondly, you are wrong on Life / Death. It is not a Fuse card, and therefore both halves can never be cast simultaneously. This is why I said I would run Reanimate over it.

Songs of the Damned is a wasted slot in my deck. I have all the mana in the world I could ever need with Pitiless Plunderer, Cabal Coffers, and Urborg. A dead slot that functions only on the turn I want to win (and only before I start going off) is bad. Izoni and Pitiless Plunderer together make more mana in a turn typically than Coffers does. I cut Deserted Temple specifically because it was a pointless slot dedicated to making more mana in a deck that didn't need it.

Here's some math to prove to you I don't need all this extra mana. Say for instance I have 25 lands in play, including Urborg and Coffers. I can float a total of forty eight black mana with these lands in play. This gives me sixteen Chainer activations, minus one to get Bitter Ordeal out of the graveyard with Eternal Witness if necessary. This gives me fifteen loops of sacrificing all my lands and putting them back in play with World Shaper. So 25 Gravestorm per loop multiplied by 15 Chainer activations is 375 gravestorm count. This is enough to cleanly kill three players with all 99 cards still in their library. In a five man pod, 375 gravestorm still allows me to cleanly kill all four other players assuming that at least twenty five cards are missing from their libraries (take note that if four players draw seven card opening hands, this already eliminates 28 cards). Unless someone is casting Worldpurge, I'm fine.

And all that math assumes I ONLY have 25 lands in play. 90% of the time, I've got every land in my deck in play when I win.

Thanks.

I found a card that might be fun to play with just now.

Worldpurge: Sure, it hits all players, but if you need to use it, that shouldn't matter. Plays well with Teferi's Protection.

What do you all think?
