Yo! I'm glad I'm not the only one that took one look at Mardu Siegebreaker and thought it should have been a Legendary creature lol.

I don't think I've uploaded my Rule 0 Siegebreaker to Tapped Out yet, but I did brew up a version of it on Moxfield for a deck building contest about a month or two ago. We definitely have some similarities in some of our ETB & death triggers.

My friends and I first started playing MtG via 60 card table top jank around 2013, when we were in college. We used the Modern card pool to keep things defined for ourselves, but nothing we brewed was anywhere near the meta at the time.

Depending on how many of us there were at any given game night, we typically played either 2 Headed Giant, or a more Commander-esque free for all. We quickly learned that Group slug and Edicts were pretty strong in our battle-cruisery games, when most of us were trying to go wide in some way.

If there were ever more than 4-6 of us (I think the most we had any given point was 8), we would either split off into two groups, and shuffle group makeups between matches, or we would do an especially crazy free for all variant one of our friends called "Lunch Room". All of our Lunch Room games were like Super Smash Bros with all of the items enabled, just absolutely wacky stuff. For Lunch Room, players draw up to the full 7 at each of their turns, but also get to drop all of their lands each turn. Thankfully, I don't think any of us ran Landfall at the time. My friend said the name was coined from trying to play MtG during high school lunch breaks, and trying to make the games as quick as possible.

I'd recommend trying Lunch Room shenanigans at least once for the laughs. My friends and I are overdue for one of those games, but we mostly play Commander now.

Ah, that makes a lot more cents. The card prices for most of the stuff in your list was mostly showing as being in the 35ish center range, based on Cardkingdom prices, so I figured my recs might not be too far off.

Hey FormOverFunction, thank you for your submission, but you skipped over the prompt at the end of my last post. If it isn't too much of an issue, I am going to encourage folks to continue with the Eldengale Prism Priest prompt (alliteration), especially since "Wild" was not a prompt option.

I meant to comment yesterday, but have you considered Brave the Elements or Unbreakable Formation as protection options for this deck? I think they should both be within the budget considerations for the deck (I hope).

Priest of the Black Prism

Creature - Human Cleric

Black creature spells you control cost less to cast.

The first time you cast a black creature spell each turn, you may choose one -

• Each player sacrifices a nontoken creature.

• Draw one card and lose 1 life.

• Sacrifice a creature. You gain life equal to its power.

2/1

(I hope I did the prompt justice)

Continue with Prism Priests for Blue and Green.

The above comment has been fact checked as True.

Yo, just wanted to let you know my friend just published the newest episode. Hope you enjoy!

Glad to see the updates to your Isshin deck, they look solid. Hoping that it plays well for you irl once you get everything situated.

Thank you ImNotTylerAllen, I appreciate it. I try to incorporate my favorite music & artists into my deck names & primers when I can.

Here's to hoping the GNX Deluxe is around the corner. I wish I could have made it to one of Kendrick's local tour stops, but my wallet & other prior commitments had a different say in the matter lol.

I agree with DemonDragonJ on this one. I think you're close, but certain aspects can definitely be dialed in a bit more. Since you brought up the mana cost, another fairly restrictive and similarly costed card is Ruinous Ultimatum, which is also 1 mana more.

Arixmathise is pretty powerful in that:

• Between the haste & ETB, you may search up and put up to 6 land cards in your graveyard the turn that it enters, and then make your opponents do an equivalent amount of discard/sacrificing.

• The combo of keywords is pretty strong in that it's also a strongly statted commander that is inherently 1/3 of the way to lethal Voltron damage at baseline, stays Vigilant for defense (which is typically a weakness for Voltron without additional support), and helps stabilize decent chunks of life each time it connects for combat damage.

• The combo of creature types can also make it a pretty relevant option for certain commanders (Kaalia of the Vast), or typal shenanigans like Party.

I think to make the card more "fair", I'd recommend:

• Increase the mana by 1

• Maybe remove one or more of Haste, Lifelink, or Vigilance

• Change the attack trigger to a combat damage one, depending on how you tweak the addition of Haste.

• Maybe remove the ETB effect portion if you would prefer to keep more of the rest of everything intact.

• P/T could probably be taken down 1-2 points each respectively and still be decent. A 5 or 6 power aggro flyer with Vigilance with a high toughness is still nothing to scoff at.

• Introduce a drawback for yourself beyond the restrictive mana cost, such as losing life if your opponents sac or discard beyond a certain threshold.

I'm not saying to do all of the above, but I think those are all options in various combinations that could work to scale the card back a bit, but still keep it fairly powerful.

Edit: Ninja'd by Bookrook, but we're on similar wavelengths.
