Playing politics with the troll in EDH seems fun.

JerryLee posted:They can tap it down for longer than 3 turns, but of course at some point they have to start providing their own sacrifices (and you keep getting resources). Also, you can pressure their creature base to make it more difficult for them to sac. iirc desecration demon didn't see any play in INN/RTR standard and only started seeing play when Thoughtseize and Gary and Nykthos made a mono-B deck with lots of B symbols attractive. it was just a fat finisher for the deck; they probably would have been just as happy to play the GRN mythic surveil demon if it had existed then.

Desecration Demon seeing play is kind of weird historically but this guy does have haste The problem with him is that once they kill him they can block your other creatures easily since the natural home of this card feels like either as black aggro top end or another random guy in black midrange

Just have a Plague Engineer out naming goats. What? Standard? Who gives a gently caress about standard?

Just wait to play it until you can wrath them on the same turn. Ez.

Retromancer posted:Playing politics with the troll in EDH seems fun. Does the choice go around the table in order? So you target your player to the right for the goats, then as the last player could lie and say he'll sac a dude, then just decline and let you whack an opponent? Also the goats ability targets, so if your one opponent has hexproof they don't get the goats.

Hansel and Gretel Pair of Nosies 1G Creature Human Peasant 1/3 Treats to Share G Sorcery Adventure Create a food token and the little thumbling? not sure how this tale is called in english Trail of Breadcrumbs 1G Enchantment When trail of breadcrumbs enters the battlefield, create a food token Whenever you sacrifice a food token, you may pay 1. When you do, look at the top two cards of your library. You can reveal a permanent card among these and put it in your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library, in the order of your choice.

H&G seems like not the worst 23rd limited card ever. Enchantment seems good if you can afford to play a durdly food deck, which in practice means probably not good though I'll be happy to be proven wrong.

This can only work in Standard Mono Black Control/Midrange, which is looking surprisingly good so far. I don't think this card is a control finisher; control finishers care more about being resilient since your opponent can have a bunch of removal in their hand with no real target. There's also no reason it should be in monoblack, it only has two black symbols

that preserver card is kind of neat. It will go in irritating decks but it is cool and has self-own potential.

Getting Omar Rayyan was a good choice, nobody does "squiggly tree thing" like them. Now where the gently caress is Guay. I will accept saving her for last if she did all the basics in this set.

I really don't get all the hoping and praying over Guay when we know full well she's never gonna do magic art again. Unless WotC pays out the rear end and Guay is feeling like it. And I sincerely doubt that's in Hasbro's forecast.

Compromise: reprint cards that have used Guay art in the past so I can use them in standard. Scryb Ranger & Spellstutter Sprite fit on theme and can be in Simic Flash.

I think it's just not very pushed. Very much a card where you can see the levers and each one is in the "this is not meant to be actually good" position.

This is really really good in stompy. Having something to do with left over mana after drawing a 1 or 2 mana creature is a big help

So how do these adventure cards actually work then? If you can cascade into either mode does that mean you could flash it back from the graveyard with snapcaster or a similar effect? When/where are they creatures and when are they treated as instant or sorceries?
