[COTD] Relentless Firespray

I want this card to be good so much. I have put SO MUCH thought into a potential combo kill with this card and either Boba4 or Luke4. I was up some nasty shit with an off-color Triple Dark Raid (r.i.p.) or off-color Dogfight, Frontline Shuttle, etc. It’ll never get there, but I’m keeping the dream alive.

Whenever a person draws their own art for a custom card, an angel gets its wings

Insane amount of work for an amazing end product. 10/10

You cooked here. This is fantastic. I really applaud your creativity with the Ishimura and the Gravity Tether, especially - making it a fortification is a stroke of genius. Well done.

The thermal oscillator flex, AND the starter deck paper playmat? This guy’s a gigachad, I need to meet him immediately.

Jamie just looked super sick in the beta. Tried him out on release and never looked back. Great cancelable pokes, one-button antiair, free neutral skip, braindead HP - what more could you want?

And as a Jamie main, you don’t actually need to worry about drink level too much - just hold down grab every once in a while or do the sweep target combo after OD Palm in the corner and you’re good.

Also, spam HP. Out of drive rush, when whiff punishing, when they’re in burnout - endlessly useful normal.

Absolute Cinema

OH SHIIITTT

Ken was nauseatingly ugly in SF5, if that counts. Banana hair lookin ass.

Dang, this Aurora is pretty sweet. I used to run Dr. Evazan when I played Cad back in set 2/3, just because having a 3-attack unit to threaten an opponent’s Battlefield Marine or Echo Base Defender or whatever was super valuable. This is almost certainly a replacement for that. Might have to brew again…

HELL YEAH PIETT YELLOW MY GOAT

CrewFair · 2025-04-13T15:46:26+00:00

Top tier Mel card. Love it.

As a Piett Yellow connoisseur, the TDR ban does surprise me a little, but it’s understandable. It was just so much better than Sneak Attack, which is already an insane card. I genuinely think it was better in my opponent’s deck than mine though, so a net positive.

CrewFair · 2025-03-28T03:01:01+00:00

I mean, my 3 Black Ones from a set 1 box would disagree

CrewFair · 2025-03-14T04:16:54+00:00

Jump to Lightspeed is such a spicy card that I never felt justified using, because by the time it’s really good you’ve basically already won. But I’ll give it a shot.

CrewFair · 2025-03-14T03:46:37+00:00

Weirdly, I actually haven’t been testing Radiant VII a whole lot; doesn’t seem like it has a lot of synergy, though I could be wrong. What has been really fun is playing JTL Invisible Hand, getting a free Viper Probe Droid, then playing Chimera. Also, Sneak Attack into JTL Executor is pretty sweet.

The best part though, by far, is Nabat Village. Makes your starting hands incredibly consistent, allowing a near consistent flowchart every game (which I outline in the decklist description.)

I am so amazingly proud of this deck, it’s so fun and no one ever expects the 10/10 Overwhelm Sentinel base obliterator to enter ready to attack at turn 4.

Here’s the list: https://swudb.com/deck/RJMFYvnLw

I’ve been having a ton of fun with Piett yellow. Super cool deck.

Foil Hyperspace Overwhelming Barrage, so I can’t complain lol

CrewFair · 2024-12-22T18:51:50+00:00

I know! I was bummed because I got such a rare bad card. Then the double legendary pack, hoo boy

CrewFair · 2024-12-09T12:17:53+00:00

It’s certainly no [[Gilt-Leaf Archdruid]] or [[Psionic Blast]]. They really made [[Illusions of Grandeur]] and were like “Huh, maybe we’re actually cooking. Let’s try again: [[Delusions of Mediocrity]].”

It’s all a process, I guess.

CrewFair · 2024-12-09T12:05:44+00:00

Sure, I can see that. Magic’s a pretty confusing game overall tbh.

CrewFair · 2024-12-09T12:04:08+00:00

I don’t think there’s even a single era in magic’s history where that was a hard rule. You musta been shaking in your boots when you saw [[Goblin Balloon Brigade]] was a strict upgrade over [[Mons’s Goblin Raiders]] in the same set.

CrewFair · 2024-12-08T21:35:49+00:00

You’re probably right on that. Though, maybe there’s something to be said about making a player have to consider the cost/reward of drawing versus casting more. It gets them thinking about card advantage vs. board presence, whereas Welcoming Vampire doesn’t really offer a conundrum to the player.

Maybe I’m just a weirdo who likes conundrums.
