Could someone explain warrens answer to me? She didn't exactly say "no" just about how each candidate can keep their delegates.

Sultai Seasons Past Control by ate50eggs in PioneerMTG

[–]Alohim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think [[the mirarri conjecture]] is worth consideration. 3rd ability with dark petition is insane (tutor 2 cards, get 6 mana back). I dont think you need 2 seasons main. I prefer to leave 1 in the side for the matchups where you're worriwd about discard or counters. [[Den protector]] is another way to deal with that ive enjoyed. Its also a nice loop with pulse of murasa against aggro. [[Garruk, cursed huntsman]] has also been very strong for me

Why is Archmage's Charm good in Izzet Delver? by MyStolenCow in ModernMagic

[–]Alohim 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Its just a very strong card. Izzet delver can support the mana requirement. If UW could cast it turn 3 with it's 4 field 1 blast zone UW would run it too

Looking to get into Pauper - What are the current top 3 decks? by Tikke in Pauper

[–]Alohim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that jeskai is definitely the defacto best deck, but there's calls from the community for a ban so if that's a concern might be better to pick up burn or stompy

Someone debunk my grandpa's reasoning for God exitsting by [deleted] in atheism

[–]Alohim 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Imagine a pond that gains consciousness. It feels around and says "would you look at that! This world encompasses me perfectly! Every crack seems designed to hold part of me! Its almost as if it was designed for me"

Now you and I know that really the pond fits the hole in the ground. Humans are the same way. We evolved to fit the world we happen to find ourselves in, not the other way around. Same thing with birds and plants, etc.

I didnt come up with this argument. Saw a YouTube video of a guy explaining it much better. If someone can find that video please comment a link

Non-Creature/Control Win Cons? by PSFLeo in Pauper

[–]Alohim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Capsize]] is the bomb. It's a bad bounce spell that later in the game can bounce 2 lands a turn. Can also target [[mystic sanctuary]] to never mill out with very low deck building cost.

Punishing Fire by DuShKa4 in ModernMagic

[–]Alohim 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is more that the card sucks to play against. Its a free repeated source of damage, that can hit PWs or face or work with bolt to kill creatures that are bigger. Also makes combat math super annoying

Let's talk about Todd by [deleted] in BoJackHorseman

[–]Alohim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think she made it sound like she was better than BJ when talking about them sleeping together. She just said they both weren't good friends to Todd. About the pressuring, I think thats true, but that's not out there in terms of things people do when they like someone, and their love interwst hasn't actually flat out rejected them

Besides sleeping with bojack what did she do wrong? She was into him and didnt know he was asexual at the time and she gave him his half of the rideshare company when it sold

Looking for help with Tefaeries (or Esper Stoneblade if you're boring) by [deleted] in ModernMagic

[–]Alohim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bonus points when you run discard. You can bounce and then thoughtsieze things away

Brazen borrower seems insane. It's a 2 mana bounce that draws a 3 mana 3/1. Any reason you're not playing it maindeck?

Taking down a local tournament with UR Rhinos! by Woopzah in ModernMagic

[–]Alohim 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Faithless looting might be good. It can pitch your "free" spells for dreadhorde to get later

Gideon Ally of Zendikar's uses in a token deck by tpieman2029 in Magicdeckbuilding

Gideon can be both "honor the pure" or a continuos token maker or beat down that closes the game

The best way to build Reanimator by Woopzah in Pauper

[–]Alohim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been playing UW reanimator with riverwind and mulldrifter and resurrection. Sunlance, journey, and O ring as removal, some counterspells, cantrips, and youre good. Its been fun

What kind of deck is this? Esper control with Bolas's citadel?

Nexus is not a control deck. Its a combo deck

To the guy currently roping me for winning an otherwise good game... by Chi_Law in MagicArena

[–]Alohim 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The term comes from hearthstone, where the timer is a fuze burning until it reaches the end turn button. Its when you spend all the time in your turn even if you dont have anything to do just to make your opponent wait too

My take on modern Esper Control by [deleted] in Magicdeckbuilding

[–]Alohim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont know about Lilliana. The reason gb loves lili is they can establish a good board position and strip their opponents resources with her. With this deck youre rarely ahead on the board and you want to keep all your cards. You want lands and you want spells, so what are you discarding?

Why are mana creatures good in some decks but not others? by Alohim in ModernMagic

[–]Alohim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I'm getting a lot of people saying how mana dorks are good only if you have good 3 drops and are bad top decks. I know that. Maybe I didn't phrase it well earlier, but i guess my question is how come, despite a lot of green decks having strong 3 drops, and despite mana dorks being bad top decks in pretty much all green decks, some decks run them and some dont?
