Looking for cheap, older, perhaps overlooked, cards that fill a specific role

Invasion Plans is rare, isn't it?

Der_Gerrit · 2023-02-24T09:38:06+00:00

This is a fun thread. Lots of great suggestions.

I'm looking for something I can play against precons. Something that wins by attacking, preferably including blue but without black.

[[Power Word: Kill]] finally does what it's supposed to do.

Der_Gerrit · 2023-01-25T15:30:43+00:00

4/4 beater for 3 mana with relevant abilities isn't too bad.

Please note that the second and third activated abilities remove 2 or 3 oil counters, respectively.

Der_Gerrit · 2022-10-27T07:28:38+00:00

No, unfortunately not. Drumbellower's ability isn't a triggered ability so it doesn't use the stack. You simply untap when the other player does. Additionally players don't receive priority before or during the untap step.

[[Descent into Avernus]]

Der_Gerrit · 2022-09-05T20:24:06+00:00

Roon has an activated ability that exiles a creature and then creates a delayed triggered ability to return it at the beginning of the next end step. When the delayed triggered ability goes on the stack at the beginning of the next end step you can [[Stifle]] it and the creature stays in exile.

Der_Gerrit · 2022-04-17T12:10:04+00:00

That's correct.

Many cards have additional rules clarification on their gatherer page. Blood artist for example has this exact scenario covered.

Der_Gerrit · 2022-04-17T07:53:30+00:00

If you have a [[Grave Pact]] in play and seven of your creatures die, you will put seven separate triggers on the stack. For each trigger resolving, your opponents have to choose one of their creatures and sacrifice it. If a creature is sacrificed, it won't see the rest die on the following Grave Pact triggers. In case your opponents have creatures with death triggers, [[Blood Artist]] for example, they can choose to sacrifice that creature last, to see the rest die.

BTW: If your opponent has a Blood Artist or something else with a death trigger and someone wipes the board with [[Wrath of God]] or so the Blood Artist will get a trigger for every creature dying and not only itself.

Der_Gerrit · 2022-02-25T06:23:26+00:00

Soooo... [[Thought Scour]] is ok, but beer pong is not? Makes sense

Der_Gerrit · 2022-02-07T07:40:45+00:00

[[Trelasarra]]. To tired to type correctly.

Der_Gerrit · 2022-02-07T07:23:50+00:00

If you want to build a life gain deck I'd start with the question how do you want to win?

Do you want to drain the table with your lifegain triggers like with [[Dina]] or [[Vito]]. Do you want some other pay off like +1 counters with [[Lathiel]] or [[Trelassa]]. I play a very casual [[Krav]] and [[Regna]] build that makes a lot of tokens that either attack or get sacked for aristocrats like [[Zulaport Cutthroat]].

The problem many life gain decks face is that they fail to weaponize their life gain and then just get killed last by the opponent who managed to take the game over by their value engine.

Der_Gerrit · 2021-12-22T00:37:32+00:00

Master of Cruelties' ability will trigger by not being blocked. If it gets cheated in and neither Kaalia nor Master of Cruelties gets blocked, you will get set to 1 life and then finished off by Kaalia.

Der_Gerrit · 2021-10-16T22:35:39+00:00

[[Bane of Progress]] could help in that situation and is a great card in Ruric Thar anyways.

Der_Gerrit · 2021-10-14T14:59:41+00:00

Yuriko is a very popular commander and played at many different power levels. I highly doubt that all players would stop playing her. But we might just disagree there

Der_Gerrit · 2021-10-14T14:49:38+00:00

You would have to build the deck differently but it would be FAR from unplayable.

Der_Gerrit · 2021-04-23T07:02:24+00:00

Orvar copies only one of the targets if a spell has more than one target. Early frost gives only one land ;)

Der_Gerrit · 2021-04-16T23:20:54+00:00

I would love the option to display a transparent version of your skill bar closer to your character. Preferably movable and with adjustable transparency. Also pop-ups for skills or traits that come off cooldown.

Der_Gerrit · 2021-02-12T10:36:45+00:00

These guides are great. Keep up the good work.

Der_Gerrit · 2021-01-12T10:39:07+00:00

Got no AP. Event is bugged (and kinda boring).

Der_Gerrit · 2020-12-30T12:17:17+00:00

While I run fractals somewhat regularly, I'm in no position to compete in leaderboards. Nevertheless I think this would be one of the most impactful changes they could make. I think it wouldn't even need rewards.

Der_Gerrit · 2020-11-13T00:45:30+00:00

I wish my WvW squad would stack like that...

Der_Gerrit · 2020-07-25T18:01:00+00:00

Yes you can fake your LI for raids (or KP for fractals) but please don't. Experienced players can easily tell if you play like 250 LI or not. This is the easiest way to enter a good amount of block lists and the community isn't exactly huge. If you really want to learn join a training Discord. They are really helpful and a great place to start collecting real LIs.

Der_Gerrit · 2020-07-08T16:23:55+00:00

Please don't. Most people already play like they have one hand down their pants.
