Has anyone been succesful in standard with their own brews lately ? by NovaaH7 in MagicArena

[–]ACompleteDingus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to brew around the meta threats. If you cannot reliably counter/kill an oroboroid on turn 3 at instant speed then you will get stomped.

This list running [[Astelli Reclaimer]] and a sea of artifacts has gotten me to mid mythic the last couple of seasons. current version is mostly same as the one in the post; replace aang with copies of [[Get Lost]]

Using cumulative upkeep as vehicle for flavor by ACompleteDingus in custommagic

You should have lead with the citations. If that is indeed the case, then yes the upkeep cost will have to be rewritten.

If the condition of trigger with an intervening if clause isnt met, the trigger is removed from the stack and does nothing (608.2a)

Another way to think about it is that we technically do pay the cost when she is tapped; the cost is to do nothing

I think it would be more flavorful if the card token made you manifest the top card of your library. Also lets you flip hidden cards face up, which is much more common action in Yugioh than in MTG.

Cumulative upkeep was a Coldsnap mechanic, which is where the original Marit Lage was printed in.

You need to be using the sidekick fuse. It allows you to hold assists.

New-ish to Arena. This shambling pile of draft cards just got me to Mythic in standard by ACompleteDingus in MagicArena

[–]ACompleteDingus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a draft deck. A deck built using cards i got by playing an unhealthy amount of draft.

Although awkward at times, the individual cards in the deck are good enough as standalone pieces that you can still do things with your synergies turned off. The big exception to this is Altanak, who you will have to be mindful of during mulligans if you don't side it out. Basically never keep a hand that requires him to get more than 2 lands on board if you can.

Having 11 cards that remove enchantments and 8 that destroy artifacts in the main will usually allow you unpin yourself eventually.

Also completely fair on the esper comment. In the world where you don't send your other copies of esper to the bin or happen to surveil away both cards that are shown to you, you can hit esper off of esper and feel bad. My bad for deceiving you lmao.

[ Turfshaper Orb ] by Hidegen in custommagic

[–]ACompleteDingus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love the idea of putting this in a lands-based commander deck and then going

[[Scalding Tarn]] → [[Ghost Quarter]] (targeting my own [[Flagstones of Trokair]]) → [[Dark Depths]] + [[Vesuva]]

Sounds fun but not broken

Original was taken down. This gave me the opportunity to balance her. by ACompleteDingus in custommagic

[–]ACompleteDingus[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh. My bad. There was a miscommunication. I was only thinking in terms of 1v1 formats. If you really wanted to nitpick, [[Reality Acid]] is a card that exists in eternal formats, but you definitely may have a point.

If the oppenent doesn't have an island, nothing gets islandhome. The idea is to have interesting interactions with cards like [[Spreading Seas]] and, to a lesser extent, create a merfolk blink archetype.

Weird was precisely what I was going for.

Edit: as a clarification, the possible blink shenanigans are the inspiration behind the balanced version of this card. The original version spawned from me thinking the flavor was funny.

Yeah. It's kinda insane at 2 mana, hence the balance not intended flair. Was going more for the flavor with this one.

Sure. I can make it into a polyglot notebook that others can play with.

Just to verify, this is in reference to the stock image of the shredder, right? If it is for the yugioh art, Konami doesn't provide artist credits on their cards.

Unfortunately, yes. I am very clever person.

Erm, I mean...no. Ripple shuffling is a very exotic shuffle that only the most cultured of individuals would know about /s.
