The only thing that seems interesting to me in Grolnok space is aggressively tutoring for Hermit Druid and then exiling my entire deck basically casting as much of it as I can, but the deck only functions with a truly unreasonable mana base.

Just from playing Grolnok with the small card pool that is historic brawl, the most interesting card in the deck is https://scryfall.com/card/m19/230/desecrated-tomb. Tomb triggers off of every creature that gets milled so you can get an army of bats pretty quickly. Alchemy also put another version that make tapped 2/2 zombies, but that a digital only card so not applicable here. My plan is then to turn them all into frogs with maskwood nexus or arcane adaptation then mill myself for oracle/jace kill.

This is what I'm going to go for, I'm thinking. Probably vary the number of basic land cards to test out milling 1/4, or 1/3, etc etc. I don't really give a poo poo about the frog creature type, I just want to have my entire deck be playable any time and make my friends quake in fear

Generally with Hermit Druid lines, you have zero basic lands in your deck so you can guarantee dumping the whole deck into the graveyard.

The important thing with mill strats is that you can’t get drowned with fiddly mill horseshit. You only get to play 100 cards, and 30+ of those have to be lands, even more in Grolnok if you anticipate resistance or disruption. You can’t be wasting your game actions and mana and cardboard dumping 3 cards into one graveyard. You’re just spinning wheels that do nothing. If you aren’t basically casting Traumatize on yourself, don’t bother sleeving it up. It’s better to pick a small handful of “mill most or all of my library” effects and aggressively tutor for them than it is to futz about with teensy widdle mill spells. You’re already on the back foot by playing a meme frog that requires you to dramatically endanger yourself in order to sculpt a tempo advantage, so I wouldn’t at all feel bad about cramming it full of tutors and premium interaction.

I used to think Biorhythm was bullshit because there are a bunch of decks that didn't really rely heavily on creatures that it would gently caress over way too hard. Now that cEDH is leaning more into creature based strategies, it's kinda whatever.

Very sensible, understands the difference between "being ban worthy" and "an unban having positive effect on anything". She observes the inherent inertia of the ban list, AKA why Painter's Servant took so long to come off, which I think the RC likes to ignore because it makes them look short sighted and bad at their jobs. *cough* Worldfire is the perfect parallel, but that somehow got unbanned?

Biorhythm deserves to be banned because its the card that literally every casual wannabe will jam to either steal random wins off nothing but a mana dork post wrath, or will just draw games. I think there's no real reason to leave Sway banned. Worldwide already proved that point. Other than that, my concerns are extremely lopsided in terms of format overhaul and additional bans. On a related note, Conquest tried out pregame Scrys (Scry X where X is the number of players before you) for a quarter and it was so cool and good, it's now a format rule.

How does this interact with the London Mulligan? Just as you would expect: put cards under then Scry more under before game start?

I was looking at THIS PRIMER for a Haptara Deck. One of the combos it uses is this: quote:Method 1 As I understand it the undying wolf with a +1/+1 counter getting a -1/-1 counter practically negates it, but the reality is that the wolf "sees" both counters and won't trigger undying when its hit with a second -1/-1 counter by Yawgmoth. But the primer implies that this is an infinite loop and I just don't get it.

Funny that the comprehensive rules specifically call out this kind of interaction as an example for state-based actions (which cover creatures dying/losing all their toughness, and counters):quote:704.8. If a state-based action results in a permanent leaving the battlefield at the same time other state-based actions were performed, that permanent’s last known information is derived from the game state before any of those state-based actions were performed.

I remember when they introduced this mechanical rules change in, uh, Morningtide I believe, because the R/B set theme for the block was -1/-1 counters, and if you could imagine it there were old heads even then complaining that this was a bad change and keeping track of two different sets of counters on a creature that you then had to do math for every combat was GOOD actually and that was when I promised to never become a “Back in my day” magic boomer.

So just to clarify, if the -1/-1 counters are added one-by-one, the undying creatures will be immortal, but if more than one is added at once, they don’t come back?

Yes, the "does a creature have insufficient toughness to continue being alive" check happens before the "should these counters and anti-counters annihilate themselves?" Check

It was that Lorwyn/Morningtide had a +1/+1 counter theme and Shadowmoor/Eventide was going to have a -1/-1 counter theme. Grognards will complain about literally any change. Sometimes they're even right, but in this case they were definitely wrong.

This game would be so much better if we had batches again. Magic died when they got rid of mono artifacts. Real wizards play with ante. If you don't, you're a coward.
