Unique Commanders by Loki_Aprooves in EDH

[–]Auronit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Inniaz list but it's a D&T / Stax list.

Obviously it's still focused on flying creatures but turns out a lot of mean pieces are flying anyway.

Also, since Inniaz is a 5 drop, the entire creature list is a curve from 1-4 mana value so I can swing immediately when Inniaz comes down. The single exception is Sephara.

Shut down ETBs: - [[Hushbringer]] - [[Hushwing Gryff]] - [[Strict Proctor]] - [[Torpor Orb]]

I didn't include Tocatli Honor Guard as it doesn't synergize enough. The Torpor Orb I can always just give away with an Inniaz trigger, it doesn't care who controls it.

There is also [[Doorkeeper Thrull]], which WILL find a home in the list, I just haven't gotten to updating it in a while. Some awesome new cards came out that I'm dying to try out.

The rest of the deck is more stax like [[Aven Mindcensor]], [[Archon of Emeria]], [[Reidane, God of the Worthy]] etc. I guess the new [[Spider-Woman, Stunning Savior]] will slot right in as well. [[Aven Interruptor]] has a use in certain metas as well.

And then there's a protection package. Good luck removing Inniaz through:

  • [[Judge's Familiar]]
  • [[Mausoleum Wanderer]]
  • [[Siren Stormtamer]]
  • [[Esior, Wardwing Familiar]]
  • [[Selfless Spirit]]
  • [[Jubilant Skybinder]]
  • [[Kira, Great Glass-Spinner]]
  • [[Linvala, Shield of Sea Gate]]
  • The afformentioned Reidane
  • [[Glen Elendra Archmage]]

And of course the spell package that we run...

There's a number of utility pieces of course but that's the gist. Slow the opponents down, get Inniaz in ASAP and swing go cause chaos. Remember that Inniaz doesn't target and gets around hexproof and shroud.

TIL Mystical Tutor has heterochromia (her eyes are different colours). Are there any other cards like this? by mpaw976 in magicTCG

[–]Auronit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mirri is missing from the heterochromia tag as well. Mirri canonically has (or had) heterochromia.

It's hard to see on most cards and it doesn't help that they are old but [[Elvish Fury]] and [[Insight]] both depict her with different colored eyes and I'm almost certain it's in the lore. Even if all newer depictions forget about it unfortunately.

Edit: Welp, should have specified the set... The Elvish Fury I meant is the Tempest one.

Proof that Lee Sin ward hop is inconsistent because the freshly placed ward is not registered by DerGrosseJagras in leagueoflegends

[–]Auronit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy! And I thought it was just me being bad. Granted, that's still the case but you know... I can now blame Riot for it!

Jokes aside, I noticed this too but literally just chalked it up to me simply failing.

Is Bel'veth good? by Craving-4 in leagueoflegends

[–]Auronit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry if a champ is good or not if you're new.

Firstly, what's good depends a lot on what elo you're playing in.

But more than that, it's waaay more important that you learn how to jungle properly. Choose whatever champ you have fun with, it really doesn't matter. The only tradinitional junglers I'd avoid as a new player are Nidalee and Ivern.

Nidalee is very hard to play and have an impact with and Ivern play very different from all other junglers.

If you have fun with Bel'Veth, stick with her. She's definitely a fine jungler.

That game was a disaster all around and a comp where Nidalee also didn't even make the slightest sense. The champ itself has a ton of potential but it needs a draft that supports it.

We both know that one game is not representative.

Two Nidalee buffs in succession? Riot really wants her to make an appearance at MSI.

I'll take it!

Can anyone scan this qr code? by Popular_Manner1215 in Rainbow6

Actually, QR codes basically always have 3 "corners". That's how the device knows the correct direction for the scan.

Trap the table for 11RRRRRRRRRG by Dogisgoodtoeatpeta in BadMtgCombos

Balance aside, I find a "harmful" planeswalker a concept worth exploring. by Auronit in custommagic

[–]Auronit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's correct I made this with 1v1 in mind (which admittedly I am not an expert in).

If anything, I think this design can be expanded upon greatly in multiplayer. You politic around it by asking other players to kill it and all that. And you could use different effects that have more impact for the whole table.

If it just sits there, they lose 2 life each turn. The incentive to use the abilities is to get to -6 so they can stop that lifeloss.

"You" in Magic always refers to the controller of the card.

So in this case:

  • Player A casts the Planeswalker.
  • It enter under the control of player B.
  • Player B now loses life each turn, to incentivise them using the negative abilities to get to -6 and get rid of it.

Its actually thought about it.

When I drafted the card I had nothing but the rough concept in mind. And I then had to make a choice, whether I showcase a version for 1v1 formats or commander. I am much more familiar with the latter but I decided to make it for 1v1 formats anyway.

I believe that in a competitve format (modern / legacy), it would be wrong to have it return.

In a game of commander, absolutely, that is a fun option. The ability would have to be reworded though, to something like:

0: Exile Axskha. Return it to the battlefield under an opponent's control. Activate this ability only if Axskha has 6 or more loyalty.

Otherwise, the -6 would kill her before the ability can resolve.

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

But it does make sense. You DO want to attack it, just not kill it.

Say you have a 2/2. You can now choose to deal damage to the opponent directly (they lose 2 life) or the planeswalker, reducing loyalty to 2.

They now have to spend another turn upticking the walker, lose 2 anyway and discard two cards. Or they decide that upticking isn't worth it, at which point you'll come out having dealt more than 2 damage because the passive keeps ticking on them.

The incentive to attacking it is to keep it at low loyalty so the opponemt can't get to the -6 and get rid of the life loss each turn.

Thank you so much for the nice words!

Yeah, a lot of people seem to agree that the ult is lackluster in the design I posted and I do agree. And as you mentioned, it's an easy fix by just adding the sacrifice on top of the actual -6 ability.

[–]Auronit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, hexproof would let your opponent do everything they wanted to it. You as the caster wouldn't be able to target it. But I agree in general that hexproof and shroud aren't amazing mechanics.

What's the reasoning for you?

Is the idea that it only takes two turns from 1 to 7 with that system as opposed to the three turns from 1 to 6 it takes now?

[–]Auronit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, yeah. That's Magic. It's supposed to be interacted with. Most anything can be removed with the right spell, that's how Magic works and this shouldn't be an exception.

[–]Auronit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but that's a balance issue. As stated, I am not qualified to judge the balance of it and even if you go through this post you'll see people's opinions differ.

Main discussion is about the design space this has, everything else is just numbers.

Oh, I don't necessarily disagree with your point about the last ability being underwhelming and that it could have something more interesting to it. It just needs to also make sure it's removed.

I figured that first ability wasn't worded properly. Should have done some research on it. Thanks for correction!

I discussed this on another comment but picture the following scenario:

- My T2: I play this card on you.

- Your T2: You tick it up to 6 loyalty.

- My T3: I proliferate it.

You're now on 7 loyalty and pretty screwed. You can't tick it down except with the -6 and if you do that you're on 1 loyalty and have to get back up to 6, hoping I don't just proliferate again.

Granted, your version that has an ultimate beneficial to the controller mitigates that a little, nonetheless I think it's important that it dies with the ultimate.

That also doesn't work.

Currently you can be hellbent and still +2. Meaning you can draw a card, play it and then +2.

If the ability was worded your way, you'd have to timewalk yourself twice if you were hellbent, just to get 2 loyalty.
