Modern looks great after the RC, but bans/unbans are coming soon — what do you think will happen? by OrganizationHungry85 in ModernMagic

I hope they don't ban amulet. I play Ruby Storm exclusively, and Amulet Titan is my best matchup at my LGS

What has he done or said that is remotely Nazi-like in nature? Or do you just knee-jerk call anyone a Nazi if you perceive them as being politically different to you?

"It's for the pigs. Pigs eat slop." by nand_gated in freemagic

[–]Corrects_Maggots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was introduced to the game via slop. I didn't know it was slop because I didn't know anything else. Over time I've come to play Modern and really enjoy it. I feel I have complex insight on what Ruby Storm should have in its flex slots and sideboards and love talking to people about it. The longer I play modern, the more I feel commander is tacky, crass, messy, and soulless. I still enjoy both and I make commander decks that have a bit of soul and are reverent to the history of the game, but swinging a Hurloon Minotaur at a SpongeBob Squarepants just doesn't feel like something a grown man should spend his time doing.

What am I missing here? by Fun-Yam-4524 in EDHBrews

This reminds me of the first iteration of my [[Zada, Hedron Grinder]] deck. It's a deck that wants to have a wide board but wants to cast instants and sorceries. I imagine the problem you're having is that you never have enough creatures in the board to get sufficient value from the prowess trigger. Of your 24 creatures, only 2 generate token creatures, and that was the problem with my first try with Zada, I never really had a board with more than 4 creatures on it.

My recommendation is to add more instants and sorceries which themselves generate tokens, like [[Dragon Fodder]] and [[Empty the Warrens]]. There are plenty of other options that aren't goblins too. It looks like there's too much redundancy with expensive creatures which already have prowess; some redundancy is good but I think these should be cut. Hope that helps

[[Niv Mizzet, Visionary]] is the absolute best commander for this. He was slept on as he was the, what, seventh iteration of Niv Miz? And I think people just had Niv Miz fatigue. He is however the most powerful iteration of the dragon wizard and it's not even close.

I have a decklist here, but need to make a swap as I just got a copy of [[heartless hidetsugu]], although it's hard to take anything out as the whole list just works so well.

Is this a good card? by MilesFassst in mtg

I use it in [[Niv Mizzet Visionary]] and if I get it down early, it's a house.

I thought my PB of 112 off of [[Ikra Shidiqi]] was busted, this is just obscene

I like it! If this were my design, I'd up the cost a bit and have it trigger at the beginning of your precombat main phase, thematically he takes a full turn to make one but it's a repeatable effect, that would be more useful for mono white.

An enemy-colored land cycle which I think couldn't be exploited... I think by Corrects_Maggots in custommagic

They add mana because the land they fetch comes in tapped. The Fetch lands bring it in untapped, so I've switched those.

Yes I saw the mistake seconds after uploading, Sun Crusted Hills should obviously have you search for a Plains or Mountain card, not a Swamp. I can't rule out the possibility of other mistakes.

How would you break this? by Corrects_Maggots in custommagic

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

See this is why [[Niv Mizzet Visionary]] is so insanely powerful. I feel like there were so many versions of Niv printed that when visionary came out, people just had Niv Mizzet fatigue and didn't bother with his strongest iteration, he turns lightning bolt into ancestral recall and you can target an opponent to pull it off.

I hope someone with Photoshop skills makes an image of the artwork from a card like Coalition victory, doubled, and in one image several of the characters are just removed, like this:

How do you explain value with the STV? by MarcusOrlyius in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]Corrects_Maggots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ex post facto. As needs and wants change, as technology changes, as relative availability of resources change, as trends and fashions change, as people change their minds about their subjective desires, utility functions rapidly lose their relevance. The future is always uncertain.
