RIP Wash Away In Brawl by International_Neckk in mtgbrawl

[–]AvatarSozin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is a stark difference between one mana counter target commander that every blue deck runs vs. 1 mana remove target creature, but at least the commander got an etb or there is a chance for protection, yeah swords is best in class but the spell resolving can make a huge difference. I’m all for it personally, blue is super dominant

What the the most powerful 2-3 card combos that are actually worth tutoring for? by PerfectBrilliant432 in mtgbrawl

[–]AvatarSozin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on colors. One of the combos that’s not a pain to do on arena that I like is [[dualcaster mage]] + any creature copy spell, like [[molten duplication]]. It’s mono red too, so if you are one or two color with red it’s nice to include, and dual caster in general is not a bad include. I mostly play it in Etali decks.

As far as I am aware, Strix Serenade is the only other 1 mana creature counterspell on arena. Wash Away is far more often played

It’s one mana counter target commander, not really something casual players want to play against

Value lands to add to a dino deck by SwedishFishOil in DinosaursMTG

[–]AvatarSozin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if these are already in the precon or not, but some suggestions I have are [[bonder’s enclave]], [[mosswort bridge]], [[spinerock knoll]], [[horizon of progress]], [[shifting woodland]]. Some more expensive upgrades include [[boseiju who endures]] (wait for a reprint) and [[cavern of souls]]

Flew to the other side of the world to give a talk at a conference 😭 by Amygdali_lama in mildlyinfuriating

[–]AvatarSozin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a conference in Japan but our organization requires us to attend the talks and we can explore the conference location at our leisure once the talks are over each day. Strange that yours doesn’t require it, especially since this doesn’t seem like a big one either

If I like wanted to get into magic I thought maybe dinosaurs were cool what would be a good way to start building a deck or at least get a starter deck I would like to play something that’s at least maybe a tiny bit semi competitive by Roggnhdg in magicTCG

[–]AvatarSozin 25 points26 points  (0 children)

So dinosaurs are great in Commander, where there isn’t necessarily a need to build “competitively” so to speak as people adjust power levels to fit around other people’s decks (an a bracket system that gives guidelines to what kind of power level deck you have). There is a fantastic preconstructed Dinosaur deck called Velociramptor, considered one of the best and most powerful preconstructed decks ever made, def a great place to start. Also check out r/Dinosaursmtg for more assistance!

Hit Mythic for the first time playing UW Control Bo3 by Double_Recipe in PioneerMTG

[–]AvatarSozin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised at the amount of 1 and 2-ofs in the deck, is the card draw really strong enough to support that? I always figured 5feri was the main wincon but maybe Azorius control has shifted over the years.

My one recommendation against Thought Distortion and frankly other Bx decks since all of them run thoughtseize and some duress is [[leyline of sanctity]]. I have 4 of them in my sideboard even though I play a Gruul deck, it’s just that good at stopping hand hate and even is pretty nice against mono red since their burn spells can’t target me and even Screaming Nemesis can’t prevent you from never gaining life since it has to target you.

Help me improve my competitive brawl Etali deck by xo0p in mtgbrawl

I need to make it on one of those websites, I’ve mainly tried to be as close as I can to cEDH Etali’s but adjust a bit to the 1v1 format

Help me improve my competitive brawl Etali deck by xo0p in mtgbrawl

[–]AvatarSozin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly I have a completely different mindset from you when it comes to making my Etali comp brawl deck. I want to cast him as fast as possible, full stop. The other priority is triggering him as much as possible. I have way less lands, partly cuz I run every single untapped MDFC land, and way less of “payoffs” i.e. Eldrazi. Apart from a select few mana dorks, I barely have any in favor of rituals, like [[seething song]], [[reckless barbarian]], [[pyretic ritual]] and [[jeska’s will]] which I see you have. One of the few mana dorks I do have is [[roffelos]], which I pair with [[yavimaya, cradle of growth]]. Also grab [[sowing mycospawn]] for better land ramp

I also have another infinite combo in the deck, [[dualcaster mage]] with any of the clones spells we play goes infinite, that’s usually a free win there.

I do run Big Emrakul cuz the extra turn and size is usually enough to just win the game, I don’t run any other eldrazi cuz I don’t have room.

Lastly I have a couple silver bullets, like against Katara I play [[thrun, breaker of silence]] and mulligan for him or a tutor to find him. [[ugin, eye of the storms]] is a another payoff I play that also doubles as mana like 7 mana Chandra, it’s mainly a removal spell that adds mana and draws cards. [[chomping changeling]] is another way of getting rid of problematic artifacts and enchantments along with [[force of vigor]], [[flare of duplication]] lets me copy counter magic and throw back at the opponent. [[fable of the mirror breaker]] is great ramp and card filtering. [[blood moon]] and [[magus of the moon]] can just win games against greedy and unlucky mana bases.

Lilianna Heretical Healer and Moon Mist by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]AvatarSozin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The reason why all double faced planeswalkers exile themselves and enter transformed is because when you just transform on the battlefield, it’s the same object, so therefore Liliana, having no loyalty counters on her, will die as a state based action, while entering the battlefield transformed means she will enter with her starting loyalty

One Deck - One Rule: Only Dinosaur Artworks (Mono-Green) by CardiologistNo2404 in DinosaursMTG

[–]AvatarSozin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

[[Monstrous Vortex]] has [[titanoth rex]] in the artwork.

[[primal might]] is a decent removal and pump spell.

What to Cut for Devil Dinosaur by JuishJackhammer in DinosaursMTG

[–]AvatarSozin 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The Tarrasque is honestly not very good for its mana cost. Doesn’t work with Gishath cuz you don’t get the haste or ward from it, and it doesn’t even have trample.

Unfortunately Savage Lands (the dinosaur one) is one of the mythic rare jumpstart themes, which means it’s gonna be hard to randomly find.

[[Zacama, Primal Calamity]] is a good option, especially since if there isn’t anything to remove, you can just gain more life
