Infidel Castro posted:The main issue is the mana bases in early precons were hot trash, even compared to more recent ones. That's not the only issue with the Edgar Precon - the curve is super high (of the 26 creatures, there are 0 1 drops, 2 2 drops, 9 3 drops and 3 4 drops; nearly half your creatures can't come down until after Edgar, which is really not what you want to be doing with this deck) and it has some bizarre includes for high curve/buff your dudes decks like Fell the Mighty, a tiny lifegain subtheme with no particular payoffs and Curse of Disturbance for some reason, which makes everyone 2/2 zombies

What does Survivor's Med Kit mean by "choose one that hasn't been chosen"? I assume it's one per turn but what happens after all have been chosen???

The bottom one sacrifices it, so unless you have something preventing that sacrifice, it goes to the graveyard and thats it. If you prevent the sacrifice, it stays in play and does nothing.

If something happens that prevents that, activating the ability won't do anything. It remembers what modes have been chosen for as long as it's on the battlefield.

Lately, I've been having fun playing my old Riku deck against people who I suspect aren't packing a whole lot of interaction. I managed to clone someone's Goldspan Dragon with Dack's Duplicate and make a copy with Riku. The following turn, I had enough mana with the treasures I created to cast a Rite of Replication kicked on my Dack's Duplicate-turned-dragon and fork that with Riku, making me an obscene amount of dragons. After attacking, I used my treasures to cast Eternal Witness to get back the Rite of Replication and did it again, lol

There's way too much good poo poo in that set. The White Flare might replace Teferi's Protection in some decks. Maybe. Or just played along side it.

It only lasts until end of turn (the life loss prevention) and it doesn't help against something like Cyclonic Rift, Farewell, or even Final Showdown. I think I'd rather run Clever Concealment. E: You did also say "played along side it". I can totally see people doing that. Batterypowered7 fucked around with this message at 22:53 on May 13, 2024 |

Flare of Fortitude is a sidegrade. A very attractive sidegrade, to be sure, but I think the "white anti-boardwipe" rankings still start with Teferi's Protection at the top, then Clever Concealment, then all the rest. What FoF will do is finish off Flawless Maneuver as anything but a thematic inclusion to a deck. FM was borderline at best already - at this point being free isn't enough to justify being limited to indestructability.

Flare just goes into all of the decks that already want Teferi's Protection and now you have more protection for your stuff and against combos. It's good. Six could be cute in Gitrog or similar decks, definitely requires testing

Six slots into Muldrotha immediately as a backup commander on the same gameplan, and it even synergizes with Muldrotha when she's on the table by pitching lands to cast permanents from the yard that Muldrotha can then play from the yard. Card's kinda sweet imo

Since I am dumb and unwise with money, I got in on the Miku SL (and it's already sold out now, this limited stock system sucks major rear end) because I really liked the art for Feather, the Redeemed. Since I've been off Magic for a while and only following it now and then, I feel like I've gotten rusty at building decks, and I want to put this dumb overpriced card to use. Feather's pretty straightforward, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which instants and sorceries to focus on using and what other sorts of payoffs I should be packing into the deck. Like, I figured stuff that pings people whenever I cast spells would be cool, but should I be focusing more on drawing cards? Pumping Feather and going straight to the face? I dunno. It's a bit out of my wheelhouse because I'm used to building cEDH decks and this is going to probably be mid-power at best, which means I can't just slot in good packages of red and white cards and fast mana and have half the deck built right there. I also like to build decks with alternate commander options in mind, which doesn't really seem to fit as easily here because there aren't many other red-white commanders that care about casting instants and sorceries. There's that new Taii Wakeen card, but that doesn't really benefit much from pump spells or spells that target my own stuff. That's about it, really. (Honestly, Taii Wakeen sounds like the more fun deck. Might build that too...)

Targeted protection and cantrips are a good base set of instants to use, then you can use pingers or stuff like Monastery Mentor to deal damage directly/by going wide respectively

A smart table's not going to let her stick around so be prepared to pack some cheap protection like Blacksmith's Skill. Angelfire Ignition seems like a good Sorcery. Look for cheap Instants that cantrip like Expedite. Try to fit in Zada, Hedron Grinder as well as some creatures with the Heroic keyword. Aurelia's Fury seems like a cute, repeatable way to get blockers out of the way. E: MH3 Leak: https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/1crgn1h/mh3_wheel_of_potential/ It's a terrible wheel.

Feather should have at least a dozen one mana protection spells(this includes flicker/blink spells), a shitload of cantrips, some spell multiplier effects and creatures that care about spellcasting (prowess/magecraft/generic pump on cast/token creation on cast etc) Fill the rest of your slots with utility cards, rocks and removal and you're good to go. Your curve should top out at 3, basically.
