Ender666666, my best friend used to play a Yurlok of Scorch Thrash "Evil group hug" deck, where he'd help us all ramp, then play some MLD or other stax that hurt our mana. Keldon Firebombers was a part of that deck, & it didn't feel awful to play against. It felt "fair" since everyone was essentially set back to 3, even though his deck was built to break parity.

Thanks for the suggestions UltimateRoxas40. I think I have a copy of Thespian's Stage around, but I'd need to pick up/proxy Dark Depths. I'm currently running Vesuva to help me double up those on those Field of the Dead triggers.

Braids, Arisen Nightmare is probably one of my favorite new cards of the past year. I played her for that exact reason in the Zimone and Dina deck that I converted into this one. I love the flexibility on what you can sac to her.

If you bring yours out of retirement, I'll be keeping an eye out for your updates. I'm excited to play this deck and have it become a part of my regular rotation, but I have this nagging feeling that there will be some new Jund legend in the Thunder Junction set that I'll want play instead lol.

I agree with the filter land idea and have changed it to reflect this.

While this card was mainly just for fun and trying to figure out how to create something new that hadn't been done, I do have a Jund deck with Yurlok of Scorch Thrash and he was kind of the inspiration with his old school mana burn abilities.

The loss of life does not use the stack and cannot be responded to.

Here is the relevant ruling from Yurlok of Scorch Thrash Gatherer page:

11/10/2020 Yurlok's middle ability is similar to the “mana burn” rule from years past. The loss of life happens at the same time the mana is lost. This loss of life doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.

Hi there,

I was wondering about the following.

When you end your 1st main phase, everyone has mana in their mana pool and Yurlok of Scorch Thrash is on the field, then everyone looses their mana then what happens?

1st: Yurlok of Scorch Thrash ability does not use the stack so everyone looses 1 life for each mana that goes away (like old manaburn). I do not think this is the case.

2nd: One Yurlok of Scorch Thrash ability goes on stack with "all players lose 1 life for each mana they lost" so you could end the turn by using Sundial of the Infinite for example. But it removed the "burn" for everyone. I don't think this is it eather.

3rd: Four Yurlok of Scorch Thrash abilities go on stack for each player in priority order. So the own one would be the last to resolve and you could use Sundial of the Infinite to only remove your own one. I guess this is the one but not 100% sure.

4th: Like "3rd" option but stack order can be chosen freely. I hope this is the one because i like politics at the table.

Would be nice to get this one figured out. :)

Have a good one!

Oooh, would you look at that, he works with Overabundance. I'll have to keep an eye out for Yurlok of Scorch Thrash then, thanks for the hot tip!

Glad to help! There are a lot of knowledgeable people around here, so please ask any questions you come up with.

Everything that used to be a mana source or interrupt is now simply an instant.

If you want to bring back mana burn, check out Yurlok of Scorch Thrash (but outside of casual play, it's only legal in Eternal official formats, like Commander, Legacy, and Vintage.)

And the mechanics... Yeah, there's a lot...

Really only sat 7 hours. We've had challenges go over 24 hours before.

As with Yurlok of Scorch Thrash, Skrel fundamentally changes a core concept of the game.

Make another Commander who also changes a core concept of the game. Preferably not a limit to the maximum hand size, as that one is fairly common.
