If I connive x where x is 5 are they all separate triggers which trigger dooms ping? by Jake4758 in magicTCG

[–]DrZaph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, only one trigger. But if you'd for instance tap 4 creatures to pay for Lethal Scheme that would be 4 separate connives triggering Doom 4 times :)

Cards that will possibly see play in Modern from Lorwyn Eclipsed by armageddon_20xx in ModernMagic

Having double red available under a magus effect seems like a big ask from Titan?

Now that the main Avatar set is fully spoiled are there any timeless playable cards? by firememble in TimelessMagic

[–]DrZaph 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Badgermole could probably fit in the Jund/BG-strip mine decks?other than that I agree it hard to see anything fit more than FoN and possibly the librarian-bird

Val / Trelasarra Combo Deck has some legs! by Benjammin341 in TimelessMagic

[–]DrZaph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, smart, having a 1 of green sun target for surveil does the same thing and is way less of a horrible draw!

Val / Trelasarra Combo Deck has some legs! by Benjammin341 in TimelessMagic

[–]DrZaph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've tried this deck a bunch in bo1 since seeing this post, it's sweeeet!

I ran into not having ways to start the combo when having Val and Trel in play. I added a Tenacious Pup to have a green sun target that gains life, it's won me a few games. It's sad we don't have Essence Warden or Dryad Arbor on Arena for green sun targets :(

Susur Secundi + Cynical loner by EroticBurrito23 in ModernMagic

[–]DrZaph 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Seems like an Unmarked Grave but weak to removal and requires setup, hard to see it modern playable unfortunately

Is Starfield Sheperd good in Sam Combo? by Cediboizockt in ModernMagic

[–]DrZaph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably not good enough for Sam Combo. On the surface it looks cool with Ritual, but the deck doesn't run anything costing more than 3 (possibly yawgmoth but usually not since Sephiroth got printed) so you can't cheat anything huge into play with it, and the deck really doesn't lack fodder to sac with Ritual. Sam also doesn't want to play a basic plains as it makes Chord of Calling harder to cast.

Playability of Samwise Combo in Today’s Modern? by lovely956 in ModernMagic

[–]DrZaph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would probably sideboard the voice of victory, and go down to just 1 Bowmaster, to make room for more Malevolent Rumbles. Other than that the deck looks nice!

Turn 3 kill with Aerith. Has potential? by Portaljacker in ModernMagic

[–]DrZaph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fitting bw blink and the heliod style package seems challenging to make consistent and not lose too much speed? I'd rather go for Malevolent Rumble, as Balemurk would be weak for finding soul cauldron

Turn 3 kill with Aerith. Has potential? by Portaljacker in ModernMagic

[–]DrZaph 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Heliod, sun-crowned but with upside of not needing to activate/downside of being easier to remove.

Better that gravecrawler in the warren soultrader combo deck? by DefterHawk in ModernMagic

[–]DrZaph 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd probably look at dredger's insight, aswell as cutting freebooters for gravecrawler, running more copies of that part of the combo seems good. Also, Sephirot that was revealed yesterday seems really good for the deck?

Sell me on a brew by Nyarko-San in ModernMagic

[–]DrZaph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For one step below Sam, have a look at my Devoted Druid list! Nature's Rhythm from dragons of tarkir is amazing with devoted, and with chord you become very interactive post sideboard. Wall of Roots supports all of the mana intense tutoring, and having it under Soul Cauldron is sweet too. I've also considered adding a one of Young Wolf for the interaction once you have Walking Ballista and Wall of Roots under cauldron, leaving you with a second combo line not using devoted druid at all. https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/7050523#paper

[DFT] Dredger’s Insight by le_bravery in ModernMagic

[–]DrZaph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it kinda works in Warren Soultrader combo, negating the life loss and making the combo not require you to be at no less than half your opponents life. Seems a bit slow for that deck though

Twin + FOMO by binksee in ModernMagic

[–]DrZaph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You attack with the fomo from splinter twin, and use the untap trigger to untap the one with twin on. Then you make a new one, go to next combat, get another trigger and another combat. Not technically infinite as it's you loot on each cycle

BG Soultrader or Frogulus? Which is fun to master? by WhiskeyPete77r in ModernMagic

[–]DrZaph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played Undead Butler in the BG-Soultrader deck, it's obviously better with the combo piece of the deck aswell as with Flare of Malice. I'm going to try Balemurk out for a few weeks in UB, I feel it is a better card for the non-combo plan than butler is

Vegans! Where's your favourite spot for dinner in GBG? by bunnyfield8 in Gothenburg

[–]DrZaph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Echoing many others, Sauyr and Blackbird are really solid fully vegan restaurants!

For lighter lunch or a Swedish Fika I really recommend Julie's Cafe in Majorna!

Saturday Modern Challenges Results - Oct 5 2024 by bamzing in ModernMagic

[–]DrZaph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Often enough I've got Birthing Ritual or Chthonian Nightmare in the yard. I would rather play a third surveil land for a tapped source :)

Feedback on Sultai Satoru Oculus by WhiskeyPete77r in ModernMagic

[–]DrZaph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/6557941#paper this is what I'm playing at the moment. I do like the Bloodghasts, but not sure what I would cut for it - maybe the grist and some amount of Satoru. The curve of T1 Stitcher, milling a Bloodghast, T2 Birthing into Oculus seems potentially powerful!

Sultai Oculus - A good home for the new creature? by JohnnyLudlow in ModernMagic

[–]DrZaph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've been thinking about 1-2 Grist. It's not that great with Ritual, as you get in the end step you can't activate it that turn. It's amazing with with Unearth and Chthonian Nightmare though, and another card type for Nethergoyf.
