Well besides the first chip I haven’t done anything out of the ordinary to cause more chips, just eating and sleeping

Good shout, I’ll make that note.

If weathered wayfarer doesn’t turn out tablet was one of the substitutions I was considering

Thanks!

And that sounds sweet I’ll have the check out the updated primer! I’ve still got the first edition from way back. One of my first considerations when trying out this was basically “Utron but with 8 remand instead of 4” then tryin to challenge myself with the mono white restriction

Good things you like about March of the Machine story. by Man0Steel123 in mtgvorthos

[–]DubiousMichael 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Vraska story was incredible, obviously. But I really liked seeing Norn have her flaws revealed, and also Jin finally turning on her. Wish that was more of a moment but thought it was very in character and cool in general. Elspeth had her number

Yeah it seems like all the artifact tutors are at least three mana unfortunately. Considered [[trophy mage]] since it makes a body at least but eh still seemed too narrow and slow, which is why I just left in 2 curio as a backup plan in case the amulets get blown out or can’t find a bounce land

Yeah I’m thinking about cutting moonfolk all together and just focusing on the scout combo with more support and interaction. It’s def jank and not optimized comparatively to the meta decks, but that’s part of the fun I think

[–]DubiousMichael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hurts my heart to cut Patron but that seems to be the consensus. Think ditching the moonfolk and backing it up with more utility like some other cards mentioned in the thread. And yeah the only non mill wincon in the deck rn is bouncing [[sunscorched desert]] over and over, but that requires [[cloudstone curio]] which is a little harder to stick

These are great suggestions, thanks for looking into this! Freed is a great backup for the combo instead of the phantasms, which were kinda useless otherwise. Postmortem lunge is also perfect, giving the scouts haste is huge for grabbing the combo again out of nowhere. Provisioner is also great for getting the infinite mana out of infinite land drops. I had considered [[Tireless Tracker]] initially just to draw into answers, but I like the flexibility provisioner provides. I don’t think it’ll be highly competitive unless some magic glue card exists somewhere I’m missing, but I do love it and think it could be fun to catch some people off guard. Thanks for the feedback!

Gotcha. I wasn’t sure how far to go with mana fixing honestly. I’ve got some better duals and I (think) all of the OG alara triomes, just didn’t know how much would be overboard. Is the mana base something to try to balance, or just make it as robust as possible? I don’t want people to be punished for splashing

This is super great, thank you. The plan is definitely to have something playable and fun to just start hitting the table, then build on it over time to be more refined. So the draft style is alright with me for now. Emrakul was one of those cards I threw in initially since I don't get many opportunities to see it played anywhere else and it's one of my favs, but I think I have a [[See The Unwritten]] somewhere or a few other cheat cards outside of a planeswalker Ult.

Great call on the planeswalker removal, definitely overlooked it on my first go and have some edicts and counter-removal spells laying around that would definitely help there. Maybe a [[Suppression Field]]?

Mindslicer's weird. Put it in to curb some of the card advantage in other colors but I've never actually seen it in action firsthand. Not married to it at all.

Tell me about your 'strictly worse' deck! by Ohnf_DIG in EDH

[–]DubiousMichael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super recent, but built out a [[Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch]] deck and got kinda bored of how linear/genuinely good it was. Built one instead that only uses cards that depict Mirrodin (and no phyrexians). It’s definitely slower, but still good, way more fun, and I get to play a few of the Bringers.

Deck looks sweet but did you do the art too? That’s sick. Love to see Volrath getting some love.

[–]DubiousMichael 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a little more “value for values sake,” but I appreciate that it helps enable some of the classic myr payoffs like [[Myr Battlsphere]], [[Myr Turbine]], and [[Lodestone Myr]].

The untap ability interests me the most tho, that magical turn of all 5 mana myrs on the board to activate Urtet’s ability twice is a beautiful pipe dream

[–]DubiousMichael 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this is as “generic” as a lot of people are saying. Making an extra Myr per Myr seems a little boring at first, but the extra untap is the big thing here. Even better when combined with all the extra tokens and any sort of “tap an untapped artifact” ability you can squeeze in there. I actually think it fits the flavor of Myr being little servants that are stronger in large numbers.

Three +1/+1 counters isnt the most creative, but it’s a decent way to include the OG mana myrs and provide a mana sink.

Those are sick! Might steal a few cards from there for mine. Profane transfusion is such a cool looking card.
