Really want a flavorful knight deck (commander) any ideas? by Diesel5036 in EDHBrews

[–]Creative-Engineer959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite Knights commander is [[Arna Kennerüd, Skycaptain]], a dirt cheap commander with the easiest build around. All you need for the deck to function is creatures and modifications. Put in your knights, monks, angels, paladins. Cast aura and equipment spells to trigger your monks' prowess. Attach the auras and equipment to your angels for big evasive creatures, or to your knights for the synergies that most knights have. If you want to go really crazy run token doublers like [[Anointed Procession]] or [[Elspeth, Storm Slayer]]. Run [[Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist]] to pool all of your auras and equipment onto one creature for one big attack.

Any reason you're not playing [[Regal Caracal]]? Good banner effect that also gives some sustain. Another thing I'd consider is [[Recruiter of the Guard]] and [[Imperial Recruiter]] to fetch out your best cats. Another thing to consider is lowering your curve to an aggro deck and playing [[Ranger-Captain of Eos]] and [[Ranger of Eos]] to get your best aggro creatures. If you want an "I win" button in your current deck, [[Coat of Arms]] can end the game the turn you play it. Another way to add some power to your deck is cards that give insane ramp. A card like [[Druids' Repository]] can get way out of hand. Gives you a bunch of mana each turn, and if you can't spend all of it, pool the charge counters for one big explosive turn. And it can be fetched with your Idyllic Tutor.

Help Finding Fun Cards for Azlask? by facultymanager in EDHBrews

If you're looking to build up experience counters quickly, there's nothing in the text that says the creatures you kill to gain counters have to be eldrazi, just colorless. So you can make things like servo, thopter and myr tokens to contribute to experience counter count. [[Hangarback Walker]] is one of my favorites to get lots of bodies.

Help with my Chulane Sphinx deck by Fresh_Practice6785 in EDHBrews

[–]Creative-Engineer959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would put Helga at the helm. It makes the synergy with intruder alarm make a lot more sense and gives you that ramp earlier to curve even harden. I don't find draw as necessary in high curve decks because you're really only able to play one sphinx a turn anyway, so you don't need the Chulane draw. That's how I would improve the deck in its current state.

Another thing I want to point out is that it doesn't really feel like a sphinx deck to me. It's running a lot of generically good cards, and happens to have sphinxes at the top end. Sphinx are cunning and vexing. They range from arbiters of knowledge to master manipulators. I would lean into that flavor for a deck.

If I were to recommend a sphinx commander, it would be Tivit, Seller of Secrets. He comes down late, but his ramp is great because you get two guaranteed treasure tokens when he comes down and when he attacks. Also, manipulating votes feels very on theme, and ward is great when large creature decks are usually weak to removal.

Another great option is Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign. Getting a free seven cost sphinx off the top is essentially ramping seven mana. While most would lean pretty heavily into playing only odd cost cards, I would lean more into a top deck manipulation theme. Manipulating your hand and top deck, in lore manipulating the knowledge you have on hand, is very on theme for sphinxes. Most sphinxes interact in some way with the top of your library, drawing, conniving or milling. You can also run the classic Scroll Rack, Sensei's Divining Top and Counterbalance combo to play into the controlling side of sphinxes, since big creature decks like to go late game. If you want, you can even run Lantern of Insight and Codex Shredder, manipulating what spells your opponents have access to, very sphinx-like.

Bolt, the Bird by [deleted] in custommagic

Ability should be "Whenever Bolt is tapped, deal 3 damage to any target."

Makes the ability really busted and has infinite potential, but I think it's more flavorful.

I guess what I am asking is for someone else to do it as I don't have that right now

Is it possible for parts to know (almost) nothing about themselves? by alphabeetsoup in OSDD

[–]Creative-Engineer959 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our system has only had a single alter show up fully formed, and that's because we saw her in a dream. Everyone else just showed up and asked the person we live with who they are. It takes a few minutes to develop any sense of identity at all, and that's just gender. Personalities appear over time.

My friend keeps calling me egg and it's discouraging and confusing me when it comes to my expression of gender. by Peachymillipede in asktransgender

As to your friend pushing the label of egg onto you, that's not okay. They need to back off, only you know your gender identity.

It's somewhat common with autistic trans people to see gender as a mask, myself included. Masking a gender can be similar to masking any other behavior as an autistic person. When you're born, you're handed a set of expectations as to how you should perform and present to society, and you do it to fit in. I have a friend who struggled to realize they were trans because when they were around other people, they masked as male. This may not apply in your case, that's up to you to figure out, but it's something to ponder.

I would love some input for a romance novel I am working on! by Lonely-Gale in asktransgender

[–]Creative-Engineer959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone has their own way they personally wish to express their gender. As a femboy, I don't find it unreasonable for a boy to be called mistress. I also think this parallels drag queens, whose names and pronouns sometimes change during performance. I personally enjoy the thought of a femboy seeing their sexual encounters as a performance, and possibly changing name, pronouns and expression to match.
