A card I keep adding to my decks is Dragon Throne of Tarkir . It’s no surprise that Overwhelming Stampede is good, but a lot of the decks I build that want that effect aren’t in green. So that’s when the Throne becomes a massive boon.

magwaaf you just copy-pasted a plaintext "link", so I commented a live one. Don't mind me ;)

It was perhaps among the saddest days of my life when I decided to cut Verdurous Gearhulk from my ever-more-powerful Atla Palani, Nest Tender deck. But in the end, I decided that beautiful card from one of my favorite set wasn't enough to counterbalance the mechanical weakness of it--IN THAT DECK, specifically. However, I bought a Vance's Blasting Cannons  ^Flip to go in my Reyav, Master Smith deck (a decidedly sillier one than Atla), purely for the art and for the fact that it came from another of my favorite sets.

But I digress--um... actually I have no clue where I'm going with this.

Oopsies! That's what I get for trying to answer things while cooking ;)

As soon as an ability with a target goes on the stack, its targets must be chosen

I started a deck like this, haven't finished it but here's what I've got thus far: Negative ETB Tribal

DevoMelvminster happy to have a reputation at least ;3

Good call with the Champion, silly of me to miss that since I've wanted Angelic Chorus gone for so long!

I would say go for the Gold Myr swap. It feels like it's hardly ever going to be a bad idea to add creatures in stead of their noncreature counterparts for this deck.

Also--how do you feel about swapping Darksteel Mutation for Kabira Takedown  ^Flip? Can act as a land in a pinch, and with the higher saturation of creatures in the deck as of late it should function as a Doom Blade most of the time. Playing at instant speed seems to be a good target, as well.

Guerric any deck with Omniscience is a good one!

A mono-blue Illusion tribal commander, that gives your Illusions hexproof!

Good catch Rhadamanthus

Shroud protects the shrouded creature from being targeted by spells or abilities.

Since the word "target" is not used anywhere in Hans' ability, Shroud doesn't protect him from it.

Since Alpine Moon removes all land types from the chosen land, Tron would be disassembled if you only had one each of Urza's lands.

But if you had two towers, then one being removed still leaves you with Tron complete.

Ack, my bad! Thanks for the cleaning-up, you two!

What a stack!

The stack works on a first in, last out basis.

So the last Not Of resolves first, countering your Miscast . Since Miscast is countered, the first Not Of resolves, countering your Ceremonious Rejection . And because Rejection doesn't resolve, the Bane of Bala Ged resolves.

117.3b The active player receives priority after a spell or ability (other than a mana ability) resolves.

So once the ability of the Lion resolves, priority will be sent 'round the table, and you may recast it when that priority is yours--leading to another round of priority.

Priority is not gained by any player during some phases, though: Cleanup (unless a triggered ability triggers during it) and Untap.

Super useful, king-saproling! Many thanks!

Azielle kind of you to reciprocate the upvote!

Atla has a penchant for cooking her eggs the same way every time, but some among us don't mind. I am, sine any judgement, not one of those people.

I remain staunch in my opinion that having fun is pretty cool, and it's great to be reminded that I'm not alone in that. Thank you.

Eternally indebted, Omni

Ah, the elusive EDH Primer That Simultaneously Makes Me Want To Cry And Build A Dimir Deck (referred to, for brevity, as EPTSMMWTCABAD).

What you've done here is why I like playing this game, and--quite possibly--why I retain faith in humanity.

Writing primers is quite a bit of fun--and it's nice to see people use this great medium for things that I would never think of!

Cheers, Omni

Ultimate Gambit

Sorcery

Take an extra turn after this one. Skip all phases in that turn except for the combat phase. At the beginning of combat on that turn, untap all creatures you control.
