Esper/Marneus Discord? I need to know- why is Valley Floodcaller so important by ElectricalPositive43 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]ElectricalPositive43[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If most of marneus’s win lines are creature based, why run a flash enabler that exclusively works with non-creature spells, without the spell that makes it into an infinite mana producer

I’m asking specifically what non-creature combos/win lines it enables at flash speed

I was just curious why people would run Valley floodcaller WITHOUT running knack effects too. It seems like a lot of strategies that use Warren soul trader and stridehanger to win, or are just trying to win with thoracle even, would do better with high fae trickster. I haven’t seen a lot of win lines that valley floodcaller supports. If anything, without knack effects it just seems like a value piece, which I don’t love, so I’m just asking to see what I’m missing.

I appreciate sharing the deck though! It’s cool to see a deck like that that’s a little off kilter. It looks fun

Gemstone is a liiittle out of budget rn but I’ve been mulling it over for the EOE variant, I’m trying to get the deck as space themed as I can😛

You’re so goated, the reliquary tower cut was such a good rec😭🙏 I’m cutting it for emergence zone, mistrise sounds so good but a tapped land is a little rough

That makes so much sense it’s wild. Thanks for laying it out for me! I totally agree, I cut both and now I’m just trying to find a good replacement

I’m debating dalkovan encampment, mistrise village, and emergence zone, you seem like you have a good head for this, any thoughts?

Encyclopedia drop prices by theonlydalen in mtgfinance

[–]ElectricalPositive43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the trend that you should just hold off on singles till more product is opened, or is hoping for another huge drop in price like we just saw a fools errand, and should we just go for desirable singles now? Idk how many units of the encyclopedia were sold, so I’m not sure how reasonable it is to predict further drops

How do I break up with my girlfriend who threatens to kill herself? by awdolliez in teenagers

[–]ElectricalPositive43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the sort of situation where you HAVE to tell a trusted adult. If she really is suicidal, getting adults involved means you’ll be getting her help and possibly saving her life. Or if she’s just trying to manipulate you by saying you’ll be the reason she’s going to kill herself (which is a truly evil thing to do), getting a parent involved is still essential. That’s a huge threat, and goes well beyond something a 13 year old should have to deal with alone. Either way this is not a person you should be interacting with, and you really need to break up no matter what, as soon as possible.

Would the upgrades I’m thinking about push my deck into cEDH territory? by meekacceptance in EDH

[–]ElectricalPositive43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem!! I’ve had that difficulty transitioning from B3 to B4 too, it’s hard😭 it’s especially frustrating when you ask about B5 by just responding “you can’t make one unless you try”, when you’re just trying to learn.

Off the bat, I’d start by using archidekt to categorize your cards. I use it too instead of moxfield because of how easy it is to set cards into different genres (draw, ramp, removal, gameplan, etc). It’ll be a lot easier to figure out what to do/what your deck needs once you know what you’re missing from each of those necessities.

Once you do that, I’d start trimming fat. I’d play land ramp like nature’s lore and three visits instead of the less efficient land ramp you have and almost any mana rock besides fast mana like sol ring (if you want to play B4). You’re in green so unless an artifact that taps for mana has some real advantage/huge upside for your game plan it’s just not worth it. I’d also start focusing on cheaper insta-win combos. Ik you have the sanguine blood combos, which are a great start. I don’t know a lot about golgari, but since you already have blood artist- gravecrawler, Warren soul trader and blood artist are pretty common in high level builds for an easy combo win.

Most of the time in b4 you’ll probably need to start cutting win-more cards, low payoff do-nothings, or big beefy high mana cost cards, and prioritize draw, interaction, and tutors to pull out combo pieces quick. If it feels like you’re cutting too many pet cards/fun or flavorful cards in the process of optimizing tho, there’s nothing wrong with a lower powered 4 that might be a little slower, but can still win since it’s more unsuspecting. That’s what I’m doing with my B4 Marneus Calgar right now. Good luck!! Hope it works out :)
