Further complicating hypothetical: suppose I discard Basking Rootwalla, cast it with Madness, sacrifice it to Viscera Seer, and then cast Shadow of the Grave. Do I get my Rootwalla back?

No, because it entered the graveyard from the field and was not discarded.

Discard card -> (Madness Triggers, enters THE MADNESS ZONE , you may now cast your spell, if you choose to cast it, put it on the stack, then back into THE MADNESS ZONE , leave this irrelevant point in discard. If you don't cast, continue as normal.) -> Put your card in the graveyard, where it wound up as a result of discarding.

Edit: So in regards to that 2 drop that makes the total of -1/-1 counters you put on your creatures one less, how does that work with Persist?
Do they just hit the board with no counter or is it business usual?

Melira 9-12 sounds dumb and stupid in Abzan company so I'm guessing it doesn't work that way.


Pontius Pilate posted:

Pretty sure they just come back as normal. And abzan company doesn't max out on the available 8 so it seems fine.

:ssh:The secret is that in addition to being your copies of Melira it goes infinite with Devoted Druid in the deck and allows you to tutor out the green god with Chord/CoCo into it to give everyone infinite attack:ssh:

You have to play 3 bad cards (Druid, not-Melira, and the god) compared to 2 (Melira and Viscera Seer) in normal Company and you don't get the upside of being able to stack your deck so you also need to have a Chord or the god in hand.

The God is fine as a single and the deck runs 2 EWit to buyback Chords, just treat the Druids like you would Wall of Roots

The other nice part of the combo is both pieces being two CMC, which means you can buy back either with the revolt man

E: I'm looking on Salvation and Duskwatch Recruiter/Ballista seem interesting in the deck

It's good to see we're still on the "Cards are DEFINITELY getting banned out of standard at the next b&r announcement" topic.

I think there are some cycling cards that are good in control shells like Censor and Cast out but I don't think you want to be playing cards JUST because they cycle. Drake Haven seems unimpressisve.

I think the demon is very good at least sideboarded in a cycling control shell

Maybe it'll get enough support come next set, when they print a 5 mana cycling wrath

Why is everyone so adamant and sure cat is going to be banned?

Because standard is currently an overcentralized dumpster fire and part of that is everything needs a contingency plan for that deck if they want to operate

Well, more when the bans didn't solve the problem and standard is still on fire

I don't know that it's possible to fix standard in one set...

It's not and the problems run deeper than bannings can solve but those are currently the only corrective action they have

An easy infinite combo is even more insufferable at middle levels of play because pros have a better idea of the lines to take to mitigate it, less skilled and more casual players be more likely to walk into the trap or may simply be unable to deal with it with what they have.

The first FNM tournament I played I got Splinter Twinned out.

That poo poo rolls downhill from the top tables, and there are probably people that pay enough attention at your store and are willing to buy 4 Saheeli.
