Kydele is crazy when you build around wheeling.

I partner with Ludvic for that sweet deck spinning into a giant fireball or huge X-spell finisher.

Seriously powerful, but Leovold can suck a dick...

I'm currently working on my first deck. Basically esper-theme deck with sphinx's as finishers.

need/want help/advice?

>>50612654
Sen is a lot of fun. I have a buddy who plays Sen with a lot of Sphinx finisher choices. Pretty sure the professor also has a deck list or youtube video about his Sen build that you can look at for some ideas.

>>50612663
Well I still think my win con is a bit lackluster, and I'm currently looking for some kind of combo to win if need be but other than that the deck is almost complete. except for the mana base because for some reason I refuse to buy fetchlands right now.

>>50612639
Rn the only edh deck I have to my name is my turbo-combo Gitrog deck. It's total Spikeshit and is just meant to combo off as fast as possible.

Looking into starting a budget Zada deck to fall for the mono-red meme and have a more casual deck for playing with my pals.

Psychosis crawler and OG Niv Mizzle would be your main wincons.

Thought reflection and lab maniac

What are some fun artifact-based decks I can build? I basically have a mid-tier colourless deck lying around after taking apart memnarch, and with a little kanoodling, I could make it into just about anything.

Right now I was thinking something Izzet, so I could have access to all the Darietti tech, while also using my monoblue artifact shenanigans, which would also free up gilded lotus for my monoblack deck, but I'm willing to build basically anything. It just has to be fast and either super flashy, or very reliable.

You can probably guess what I would recommend

>>50613143
Fair enough, do you have an Arjun list I can look at? The deck would primarily be a ramp deck, which is why I was thinking Jori En would be pretty good, but as a Golgari sort of guy, this is completely new territory for me.

>>50613161

>>50613166
Eh, not even as picky about the artificer part. Originally I was going to turn it into Lazav artifacts, until I realized that I'd never have the devotion to cast lazav in a reasonable time frame.

>>50613225
Well, I've built darietti before, any spicy things I should be aware about, outside of the ol' recursion decree of annihilation nonsense? Seems a shame not to be able to use teferi or tezzeret though.

I want to make something else than these.
I was thinking about Braids, Conjurer Adept and just steal everything and put big beaters on the battlefield.

>>50613072
>>50613072
I still don't get this. Is this a stupid combo that does something stupid, or is the joke that it doesn't work? I know dirk is a meme, but I don't know what the hell the gorilla is doing there.

How do you folks feel about infinite combos? Integral part of the format, or an annoyance that ruins a match?
I imagine the biggest factor is how competitive the particular game in question is. Maybe I'm just casual scum, but I feel like too many games turn into a race to go infinite.

Is there a better resource than EDHrec for deck suggestions? I'm tired of seeing samey format staple lists, and any time I try to build something new, I always get discouraged when I'm inevitably recommended the same garbage for every deck I want to make.

You people meme'd me enough to use Scrambleverse. So, I'm make a Vial Smasher the Fierce + Ludevic deck that sticks a middle finger to control decks harder than a Gruul deck.

What's the most bullshit stuff I should put in? I want to keep this mostly Spellslinger based, but here's what I plan on using so far:
>Possibility Storm
>Emrakul, Worst Fears, Cruel Entertainment
>Dictate of the Twin Gods
>Grafted Exoskeleton/Phyrisis
>Various suspend/Delve 10 drops.

>>50613604
No green for maximum fuck-blue spice?
Vexing Shusher is A-tier.

>>50613627
You're also forgetting Xanthid Swarm.

>>50613627
I tried it with Kydele + Vile Smasher but it ended up being a different deck entirely. I like Ludevic giving me a card every turn and for the under-the-radar factor.

Besides, Vexing Shusher is in my Gay Kings deck.

>>50613604
I made this deck, so what you do is:

>possibility storm
>warp world
>epic experiment
>mizzix's mastery
>blue sun's zenith / stroke of genius

Toss an infinite mana combo in there, so you can kill two people on their upkeep by making one draw 100 cards and the other take 100 damage. Strionic Resonator also helps here. Vial Smasher works really well as X-Cost tribal. Otherwise, you just sit around and happen to ping people. Also, x-cost counterspells are the shit.

Though I recently switched the commander to Kraum. He's a bigger body that curves out later, with haste in case I want to bludgeon people with him, and he discourages other people from casting spells / countering shit too often.

>>50613677
>I meant to say 'axe possibility storm' because it's x-cost tribal and that's a nonbo

sorry.

I also included a bunch of copy effects, so I can flood the stack with bullshit that nobody wants to resolve.

>>50613543
Both. They're both.
Consistent fast combos in a deck devoted to fetching them and countering anything that isn't them are hot cancer and utterly horrible, but having a few combos in a deck isn't bad and is, in fact, probably one of the better ways to end games.

Not to mention, there are good combos and bad combos. In order to figure out which one your combo is, try and explain how fucking awesome it is to a person who either does not play Magic, does not play EDH, or is not a combo lover. If you're saying things like "And then I summoned a bajillion dragons and ate everyone's face", "Everyone drew their entire deck and lost the game", or anything you could make a death metal song out of, it's good. If you're saying "I made sure no one could do anything, no one could stop me, then took fifty turns to dig through my deck looking for a single card to instantly win the game", burn your deck. Don't sell it, burn it. Sleeves and all.

Every deck should run a small portion of combo disruption- and they usually do. Krosan's Grip and such usually suffice. Having combos, and even trying to get them to go off, isn't cancer- it's when the entire deck does nothing but get and protect a shitty unfun combo that things get horrible.

>>50613604
Make sure to have a few ways to make Vial Smasher have Infect, it gets pretty crazy when you start insta killing people with giant X spells.

>>50613677
>>50613702
X Cost Tribal does sound good. I'll try to try that version and pitch Possibility Storm.
>Kraum
Eh, I'm not too crazy about the guy because I rarely see people cast more than 1 spell in most cases. But he does work for adding in that extra needed damage on the spot.

Thanks for the solid responces.

>>50613543

I don't really mind that people are "racing" to go infinite in the sense that it seems fine that people should be trying to win as fast as their deck can win

But I don't want it to be a "race" in the sense that nobody is trying to stop the other players from comboing, only trying to combo first

Some people say in really competitive arms race metas, there's no point in trying to be interactive, it's better to just try to find your combo faster. Idk if that's true, it doesn't sound true to me (just look at legacy vs modern, legacy has more powerful cards but it's more interactive), but if it IS true, then I'm not a fan of that kind of game

I think people can reasonably be expected to hold up instant speed interaction OR play some kind of disruptive permanent by their turn 5, so somebody who went before them and was trying to combo on their turn 6 would have to beat at least one piece, possibly more pieces of disruption to actually combo

Some of my favorite moments in mtg are when people are trying to combo off, but they get interrupted, and then they have to improvise a way to either recur a disrupted combo piece, or find another combo, and sometimes they do, which is cool, sometimes they don't and they have to switch to defense, so they don't lose to the next guys combos

>>50613543
I have 0 problems with infinite combo's if they win right there, on that turn, because then we just reshuffle and go again.

Decks that tutor for only one win condition and pull it off every game by turn 4 are annoying, because the group I play with usually isn't fast enough to do anything, but anything later is usually fine.

>>50613748
>Eh, I'm not too crazy about the guy because I rarely see people cast more than 1 spell in most cases.

That is what Possibility Storm is for.

>>50613707
One of my favorite decks I've ever built- the one I'm most proud of- is old!Grenzo. That deck hits like a sexual tyrannosaurus, it combos non-infinitely, has the Bigger, Blacker Draw Engine, and gets better as time goes on.

The main combo in the deck uses Zulaport Cutthroat, Ashnod's Altar, and Grenzo. You pull creatures off the bottom of the deck with Grenzo, hope they make tokens, and dig as deep as you can while everyone bleeds slowly.

>>50613780
>Idk if that's true, it doesn't sound true to me
It isn't, in full competitive EDH all of those racing decks are fucked over by the stax players. Its a triangle of racing decks vs stax decks vs midrange decks at that level of play.

>>50613737
That sounds really fun. And like it would get you hated off the table.

>>50613543
The only Infinite combo I run is a CloudStone Curio in my Rakdos, Lord of Riot deck. I only have a Rune Scar demon to tutor and the rest of the deck is drawing a bunch of cards but if I get the Cloudstone out it usually leads to shenanigans.

Cloudstone + 13 damage+ 2 eldrazi in my usually hand means infinite cast triggers.

Oblivion sower is the best as I exile everyone's decks

Both Ulamog's just remove the field

Emrakul allows me to control everyone's turns

Kozilek, Butcher allows me to draw my deck

Devestation Twin gives me infinite 10/10 tokens

Artisan of Kozilek revives my grave

Distended Mindbender Removes hands

Conduit of Ruin, Void Winnower and Endless One are just used to keep the bouncing going.

Its funny when it happens and I didn't really need to change anything with the deck, I just threw it in once on a suggestion and figured out how crazy Eldrazi were with it.

She's bland, ugly, and requires too many colors leading to a muddled final product. Did I mention she doesn't have blue

Would there be a better mono white commander for a lifegain strategy. Its going to be a casual deck for my fiance to get going in commander. She wants to do mono white too.

I was gonna pick her or Gisela, the Broken Blade as the commander, cuz she likes it and it has lifelink. I'm gonna be jamming a bunch of life based wincons, prevention effects, and stuff like Aurification/Force Bubble/Ghostly Prison into it too.

>>50613941
Yes, make sure you have early turn plays and some way of protecting his raggedy ass. He dies super duper easy, and while Golgari doesn't feel like combo colours, you need to build it in a combo-facilitating setup. The biggest issue is surviving long enough to actually win with Maz.

The problem is with the commander, not the playerbase. I already have to sift through 300+ cards for a tricolour, how the shit are you supposed to do it for a 4c, and at that point, why not build a 5c?

>>50614537

Wait a minute. what you pay in an X spell isn't counted as part of the CMC of the card.

>>50614628
a Spell's CMC uses X for when it's on the stack, a Card's CMC doesn't, so yes it would work

I need to cut 12 cards from this casual-ish Gisa & Geralf deck. I'm stuck and need a swift kick in the "stop playing bad cards x y and z."

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/super-zombio-bros/

What are some good mill cards? I'm not milling as a wincon, I'm milling to dump things into the yard for Lazav 1v1 deck. Here's what I have so far:

>Coercion
>Seer's Parable
>necrogen mists
>memory jar
>Honden of Night's Reach
>Creeping Dread
>Mind slash
>Dark Deal
>Whispering Madness
>Sphinx Tutelage
>Trepanation Blade
>Mind Grind
>Mind Funeral
>Curse of the bloody tome
>Jace's Erasure
>Memory Erosion
>Traumatize
>Talent of the Telepath
>Phenax

I know it'd be easier to post the decklist but I'm still in the process of smoothing things out. In general, the idea is to play low-key mill cards, tutor up traumatize, then dump a metric fuckton of their library into the yard for Lazav to gloat about later. If that fails for whatever reason, set up Lazav and some hand hate, then stall until something good winds up in the yard. Finally, if both plan A and plan B fail, plan C is to drop sphinx's tutelage, and wheel my way to milling every land card in their deck.

>>50614946
Grave Betrayal, Forbid maybe since you want to keep it casual and Army of the Damned

>>50615082
It's sort of 50/50 to use in Lazav, but things like Brain Maggot or (better, with Academy Ruins) Jester's cap can really remove the eldrazi splinter from your feet if you give up on making your Lazav an eldrazi fatty.

I play Lazav in multiplayer, but its plan A is yours without low-key mill and lots of additional copies like Sakashima the Impostor and other good clones.

If you're that mill heavy consider Consuming Aberration, usually combined with Rogue's Passage.

>>50615100
Probably right about Forbid being too much. I really like Grave Betrayal though, since it feeds so nicely into Call to the Grave.

Also, I mostly am trying to make it less combo oriented or "oops I win." I want to be able to win still, but give the rest of the table a shot if they're running lower power decks.

>>50615082

>Seer's Parable
wat

Anyway, Induce Paranoia, Geth, Geralf, Dreamborn Muse

>>50615161
How effective are clone/stealing effects in your deck? Personally, I ran a very strong Memnarch deck that involved stealing shit, and it was very powerful, but Lazav can copy things that are tossed in the graveyard, so I'm having difficulty justifying running those things over just straight removal.

>>50615197
Seer's Vision, I don't really know where the parable part came from.

I actually have both Geth and Geralf, and I was planning on using them with Havengul Lich for hilarious results. Necrotic Ooze was another thing that came up when I was searching, but is it really worth the cost?

>>50615264

Not really in 1v1, the ooze is way more effective in multiplayer. Might be a dead card if you don't get anything interesting on your opponent's graveyard

>>50615264
Telepathy is slightly better than Seer's Vision in my opinion but it'll make people target you much faster if you do land it turn one.

>>50615264
Quite effective, really! The usual black-blue tactic is steal things first, then sacrifice them when they become a threat to you. That way it lands in the graveyard, and Lazav can make use of it.

This is especially effective in cards like Bribery and Acquire, and (in multiplayer groups) it usually quickly makes people reconsider adding Avacyn, Iona or a Blightsteel to their decks. In 1v1, getting a Iona from your opponent can very much mean a victory sometimes.

Control Magic, Order of Succession...Blatantly stealing things sounds better than copying them in 1v1, and while there are some spells like Steal Artifact and Steal Enchantments, they might not suit you very well.

Also, Commandeer. Really important. Merely tutoring it will make your opponent think twice before playing a lot of things.

>>50615296
Thanks for the heads up.

How does Dimir do colour fixing? Do I just throw in the various U/B generating artifacts and call it a day, or is there a more reliable way to make sure I get UUBB by turn 4?

>>50615404
>telepathy
Oh, that's a mean card. I'm running Gitaxian Probe too, but I could always use some more support. I have bunch of stealing stuff effects, tell ya what, give me an hour or so to throw together a decklist, and I'll see what I can do.

Now, how does Lazav work with replacement effects? Can I copy Blightsteel as the replacement effect hits, or does it "see" the graveyard without actually going into it, like it would with reanimator?

>>50614667
I'm not gonna run a lot of cards that need reminders for triggers. She's still trying to grasp the concept of phases and stuff.

What's some fun cards for newbies to run tho? Artifact and white cards.

>>50615465
You can't Lazav blightsteel as it doesn't hit the graveyard, sadly (the key word here is the "Instead" in its text.)

Compare it to Ulamog or Emrakul (first generation) who do hit the graveyard, then are shuffled because of a trigger. Lazav can copy those.

Jinxed Idol will teach her the value of her creatures until it gets broken. My newbie relative loved playing it.

Sacred Mesa's sort of fun, the general grouphug-type of white cards are "fun".
Planeswalkers notably Ajani are fun. The first one especially, fits the whole lifegain thing.

>>50612654
I've been considering running her in Breya.

Anyone had any luck/experience?

>>50615529
That's a spicy fucking meatball. Why doesn't that see more play? Is it particularly expensive?

I don't have the budget for a lantern, but based on what I have, I'm running a lot of any-colour generating rocks, the cluestone, and the monument. It should be workable, but without the fancy expensive lands I need, I'm worried I'll get fucked more often than not.

>>50615521
Perfect, that's what I needed to know, thanks anon!

>>50615498
Why not build monowhite weenies with Anafenza as your commander? You could even make it warrior/soilder tribal, which should both be pretty straight forward, and fairly easy to assemble. My friend runs this deck, and I'm always surprised at the cheeky wins he gets out of nowhere. Alternatively, why not Karlov? Dual colour decks aren't too too complicated for brand new players if you've already assembled it, and I think he's one of the more straight forward lifegain commanders.

>>50615615

He's really cheap, but, depending on a really weak creature for manafixing is never a good idea. He usually goes unnoticed though, so it tends to work in the end

>>50615646
>>50615641
>30 american pennies
By the beard of Zeus, I'm getting one of those today.

Personally I like cheap creatures that have versatility late game. I mean, if someone really wants to waste their removal on it, that's all on them, and means I can play something bigger later to completely fuck up their day.

>>50612639

Just came back from a lengthy break and am re-tuning my decks since my group got a bit smar-er- I mean better. We still only really play 3-4 players

Current Commanders:

Lazav, Dimir Mastermind - Recently switched from my first commander, Phenax, to this glorious bastard. Not going the voltron route and preferring some clones and control.

Jhoira of the Ghitu - Suspends Fatties, Extra Turns and MLD. Probably one of the most hated commanders in my group at the moment next to Brago.

Ezuri, Claw of Progress - Newer Deck, always wanted a Simic Deck. It does all the cool +1 Counter stuff and has some great creatures to really rack up the Experience counters. Still don't have a doubling season though.

Talrand, Sky Summoner - Switching it to Mmemnarch with the Breya and some other commanders picking up cool artifacts. Hard control either way. Will miss Proteus Staffing drakes for fatties.

Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer - I always wanted a good Pillowfort so I throw that in with some Stax cards and 7 planeswalkers. Should be fun.

Eladamri, Lord of Leaves - Sometimes people get upset I play so many blue decks so I have an Elfball with only two sorceries. It is fun but it either overflows the field or gets shut down. Probably needs more card draw.

>>50616171
Yeah, dredge is the fourth most popular deck at tournaments according to MTGgoldfish's stats.

Mill is probably my favorite wincon, but it's never been a Tier1 archetype, which is why this shit confuses me so much.

In another few months I'll probably buy a mill commander deck. Which reminds me:

Is there some way to make Scalpalexis a mean critter in Commander? Putting cards into exile is pretty powerful, but its ability is probably never going to get to go again unless playing a mono-color deck.

>>50616271
I think, instead of trying to make her deck better, you build decks to her power level. Seems like she has pretty arbitrary opinions, and white can be an unfun dead-draw slog a lot of the time. Build her a deck slightly stronger than what you're running and let her have fun kicking your ass. The trick is to pretend to be a little salty when she inevitably wins, then slowly improve your decks once she is hooked.

Sen Triplets seem like a great commander. Esper offers tons of great artifact support. Our Breya player uses the Magister Sphinx as a finisher. Do you build it more as a pillowfort than an artifact deck though?

>>50614324

I used to have a competitive Sharuum and Melek deck but when I got my friends to play I stopped going to the shop and had to tone down my deck. I decided to split all the lands apart into guilds from Sharuum. The sharuum also used to be Sydri so I had a bunch of Pillowforty cards.

Nice. I play Sen Triplets as a Control deck with the theme of "THERE ARE NO SECRETS".

Reveal hand effects, some discard, some steal stuff. Wins with Sphinx beatings with politics being a big factor. Also decent in 1v1 since Thoughtseize/Duress can just neuter something outright and give you info.

I just brewed a budget-ish Phenax deck this morning. It's only about 60-70 before manabase and it doesn't require any utility lands so if you aren't paying the big bucks for Underground Sea you could easily build it for 100 or so.

I think it's a garbage deck though. It's supposed to mill people incrementally under the assumption that other players will be going for life totals and therefore more important to remove/deal with; but I'm pretty sure that my playgroup would get more upset at someone milling them for 5 than swinging at them for 10.

Thinking about getting Pic related of Kharn the Betrayer altered onto a commander and building a "Kill them all" voltron style deck around him.

He is a raging berserker, what are some solid generals that could represent him in keeping with the voltron concept.

Ideas I had were:

Kresh the Bloodbraided: The more skulls the stronger he becomes

Thraximundar: Killing fast and quickly, taking a head each time he swings.

Grimgrin, Corpse-Born: Similar, all about killing to grow stronger

Zurgo Helmsmasher: All about them swings. Can get World Slayer for real annihilation.

Any thoughts guys?

>Roon of the Hidden Realm
-I used to take this and Kraj to the LGS when I could afford to. Blink.dec with Perplexing Chimera because I want your stuff and or gain control of the spell for new targets.

The Rest:
>Jhoira of the Ghitu
CMC Kaboom!/Erratic Explosion Deck. Hilarious to copy Kaboom and deal over 20 damage to a player in a turn.
>Archangel Avacyn/Avacyn the Purifier
Boros Blink / Equip with a Sunforger Package.
>Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim
old Life.dec Legacy Deck which got transformed into an EDH Deck. Nomads en-kor + Daru Spiritualist+toughness gain sac outlet = infinite life.
>Arcades Sabboth
Bant Enchantress. Tribute deck to one of the namesakes of the format. Has fallen into less optimal form due to expenses but sometimes taken to my LGS.
>Latulla, Keldon Overseer
Fireball on a body with a mostly Goblins creature base. They can generate a shocking amount of mana if you've got the right cards.
-Melek, Izzet Paragon: UR Storm.dec because I had 4 copies of Mind's Desire before it got banned and when I got back to playing, EDH was a thing and I wanted to play Storm again.
>Atarka, World Render
Our small online playgroup would spend like 30 turns durdeling around so I built a dragon ramp deck to put a stop to that.
>Marchesa, The Black Rose
Had some cards lying around for it. made it a net.dec because I doubt I'll ever actually build it for my LGS.
>Sliver Overlord
because reasons.

I'll have to look into it again since it's been collecting dust since Gatecrash, mostly around for Star Magic. The LGS I took it to had so many players with Wraths or Combos that beatdown wasn't an option.

That's hilarious, personally I find white players are usually the worst. They come in with this holier than thou attitude and an inferiority complex as a result of running the worst monocolour in Magic. Then, unlike the blue or red player, their entire deck consists of extreme bullshit to make up for the fact that they'll get mana fucked with a hand of dead draws.

>what if I just made a bunch of little dudes then used anthems to turn them into fuckhuge beatsticks? Look how cool I am running no creature bigger than a 4 drop and/or stronger than 3 power. High cmc is for suckers.

Thats why edh is a game about politics. This is the culmination of the "anti edh" bullshit I see. "All games turn into a stall and nothing happens." So you play politically, make a partner and fucking someone over, and stab your partner in the back. Seriously, edh is great because it can be played so many ways.

Iona did. While monowhite players are a rarer breed, because their colour is so awful, there are a metric ton of post-white fags everywhere. The issue isn't with the colour, rather the unfun strategy by most players, and general bitchiness when they inevitably lose. Sure, the blue player might sulk and the red player might laugh with angery eyebrows, but only the white player will start whining about the nature of the format and how unfun everyone else is.

Shu Yun is quite fun, but wont be great at a multiplayer table. I have a lot of draw in my deck so that I can rebuild if my board gets killed

What are your recommended ways to handle exactly 5 people showing up to EDH night?
>5 player FFA
cons: takes foreeeeeeever and first person out will have nothing to do for a while
>Pentagram
similar cons to FFA? don't actually know if those games are significantly shorter
>that king and traitor and guard thing
cons: also takes long and lots of extra rules make things even more of a hassle
>archenemy commander 4v1
cons: pretty sure those cards are balanced for 3v1, maybe 4 is way too many opponents, idk, never tried. also you'd need the cards but i just proxied one of each
>archenemy commander 3v2
cons: no idea how the rules could make that work and whether that's any more balanced than 4v1. pros of both archenemy types: less waiting for your turn to start
>split into 3 player pod and duel
cons: 40% of players won't be getting the multiplayer experience they came and built their decks for, 3 player game usually long enough to run parallel to several 1v1 games
>others I missed?

Sage of hours + conjurors closet + sandsteppe mastodon = infinite turns right? Anyone tried this yet?

5 player planechase. Multiplayer planechase is tons of fun actually if you get the right planes and get people to interact with them.

And if free for alls take too long you could always set the life total to 30 or 20 if everyone agrees with it, to speed things up a little.

The dredge combo really needs to be fixed, right now I'm using Praetor's Grasp to sink the infinite black mana but it could use a better card like Geth's Verdict. The whole Eldrazi Titan dredge combo is a bit complicated so I'm thinking of just making it the ez-pz Necrotic ooze combo that just taps for infinite mana and deals infinite damage. But I'm trying to step away from infinite combo bullshit so I can make a more casual deck so I don't just murder my friends turn 4 when we play casually.

Recommendations for planes that work well with 5 players? I just don't want anyone to end their turn and have to wait 20 minutes until they can do anything again. Even worse if they're in top deck mode. Maybe some planes are interactive like that.
Life total at 30 sounds pretty reasonable. I don't think anyone would complain if I were to suggest trying it out next time we're 5 people.

Just I wouldn't recommend nephalia since it's misery most of the time and kessig because it would drag the game for too long.

The nice thing about planechase is that even in topdeck mode people can use their mana to roll the dice.

I remember the first time I played planechase I was playing my gitrog deck and the first plane was Nephalia. Played Mesmeric Orb turn 2 and the milling was stopping every other player cause they had zero graveyard recursion. Shit was cash.

Pretty sure the website is just weird or something but if you're actually only running 14 lands and 1 instant you gotta not do that.

TappedOut is usually the better deck list website, from my experience at least.

Deck really needs a spore frog. Deadbridge Chant is also like the best enchanment for graveyard themed golgari decks.

>>50620833

Deadbridge chant is pretty mediocre, I wouldn't include it in any golgari deck unless it was purely a golgari flavor deck where you were playing all the golgari watermark cards that are playable

zedruu marshmellow enchantress deck y/n?

Rules question: can reassembling skeleton's ability be activated from the battlefield?

The meren player had a necrotic ooze and reassembling skeleton in the gy, and tried to dodge removal by paying 1B to activate the skeletons ability and sacrifice the ooze with it on the stack, presumably returning the ooze to play. We had an argument about if that was legal and he pointed out there is no zone or timing restriction on the skeleton which we couldn't really refute.

I would've not cared that much beyond that but 7 or 8 turns later he realized the 5c boom babby player had a composite golem in his gy and apparently between the two abilities he was able to create infinite non-black mana which lead to him winning so now I want to know for sure

>>50622095
No.
While the Ooze is on the battlefield it has the ability, but as soon as skeletons stops being in the GY or Ooze is not on the battlefield, it'll lose that ability.
And since the ability can only be activated if it's in the GY, there's no way for the two to interact.

>>50622165
How do you know the ability can only be activated in the gy? What rule prevents you from activating the ability on the battlefield and sacrificing the creature before it resolves? This was the issue we had and couldn't find an answer for

>>50622195
>Return from the graveyard
If it's not there, it doesn't work.
If you activate the skeleton, the next time Ooze would check the GY for abilities, it'll come up missing.
While the skeleton is in the GY, the Ooze can't use the ability because he's not in the graveyard.
It's similar to regenerate but it explicitly has to be activated while it's in the GY, rather than being a replacement effect.

Do you want fun or do you want to win?
if win: infinite life combos are the way to go. look up some combos with Daru Spiritualist and nomads en-kor. Easily tutored for, can combo out early for infinite life, and it's fun trying to explain it to opponents.
Fun?
Cuts: Butcher of Malakir, Dawnbreak reclaimer, Hell's Caretaker, Ophiomancer, Resolute Archangel, tree of perdition, Deathrender, Syphon mind, Debt to the deathless, dawn of the dead.

If you want a reanimation strategy which takes advantage of the 2nd ability of Ayli, you want to
do things in this order:
1.) kill your opponents creatures or dump your creatures into your graveyard quickly
2.)Focus your deck on having a few good threats to reanimate. There's a lot of situational stuff you're using currently.
4.) forcing your opponent to discard, removing their threats and adding targets for your reanimation spells.
5.)Once they are up and moving again, smash them into your opponent and
6.)when they go to remove them you should sacrifice them to gain life.

Suggestions: Magus of the Abyss, Magus of the Coffers, Urborg tomb of Yawgmoth, Magus of the Will, Filth (super sweet combo with Urborg), Cabal Coffers, Mindslicer, Chainer Dementia Master, Erebos God of the Dead, lightning greaves, swiftfoot boots.

you want to use your life total as a resource to draw as much as you can. Mindslicer with Bloodchief Ascension active? Tons of life. You can then use Erebos or Greed to refill your hand while they have nothing.

Good Luck!

Does this seem viable to you guys? Jor kadeen voltron / MLD. Basically you run a much higher than average number of mana rocks, both to activate his ability and so you can keep going once you blow all the lands up. Then you use cards such as master warcraft and various equipments to swing through whatever defenses they had before you blew up all the lands.

Two questions for different decks:

1. Are the Tainted lands bad for three color decks that have very few actual swamps? I am working on a Sultai mana base and I feel iffy about Tainted Wood and Tainted Island because I might not necessarily have a swamp (I count 7 including non-basics and Urborg).

2. Is burn a viable wincon for Daretti? I recently converted my Ashling into Daretti and although I intend to keep the infinite Wurmcoil and Myr Sire combos in, my recent games went poorly as I took too long to set up a combo. What I DID succeed at, however, was a massive amount of mana at my disposal and many proliferations on Daretti and my counter rocks. I was thinking I might as well just use the artifact shenanigans to power an infinite (or at least very large) burn spell. Is this sound? And should I put my other red PWs back in from Ashling (Chandra Torch, Chandra Flamecaller, Koth) as I was able to proliferate and ult Daretti pretty easy (thanks Throne of Geth!).

>>50623024
whats more explosive then blowing up the field over and over to be part of your win con?

>>50623040
By having enough permanents (i.e. Goblin tokens) on the field, that when you cycle the board, you're in a MUCH better state than your opponents.

>>50622838
>>50623024
Not directly what you asked, but here's a """fun""" thing you can do with Child. Cast a spell with split second, like Krosan Grip or Sudden Death or whatever, then with that on the stack, sacrifice Child to a mana ability like Ashnod's Altar. With the split second on the stack, nobody can respond to the Child trigger.

>>50623057
1. They're fine if you're on a budget, but if you're willing to spend even a little bit extra, there's no shortage of replacements.

2. I would say only as part of a combo, like infinite mana + Comet Storm, Fireball, etc. Otherwise you burn one opponent down and you're usually out of gas, due to red's difficulty with recursion.

>>50623085
That's a tiny bit underwhelming but still really cool. I wonder if the classic Wort Fireball finisher would be decent when you have all your lands out and enough spell copiers for the table

>>50620212
Dakmor is the better combo in froggy. Even if it is a bit difficult to execute.

You have enough ramp to just cast him again. You could also just play things that prevent them from countering your creatures like Vexing Shusher, Spellbreaker Behemoth, Leylline of Lifeforce, or Gaea's Herald. I mean your whole deck is fatties and ramp, so playing one or two isn't a bad idea.
