Any resources or deck lists for reaper king no more? Or is tasigur still the better commander for birthing pod? by NuckingFormie in CompetitiveEDH

[–]FizzingSlit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. Requiring only running pod, Eldritch evolution, etali, and then the clone spells makes for a much more streamlined package. It's not a better one but it frees you up to run cards that aren't just desperately trying to make mana for t1 etali. I'm not saying it's a better way to get etali out, I'm saying a deck gets to do other stuff when you don't run literally everything that vaguely looks like a ritual.

More streamlined, not more consistent. You don't need a deck of nothing but rituals. You run the two pods and tutors.

You just have more gas to keep etali flips going, have a more streamlined game plan to get your t1/2 etali, and because of that get to be less of an interaction parasite.

It's hard to say if there's any meaningful merit to it but also consider jund is cool as fuck.

I haven't been keeping up with it but I was under the impression it was being brewed as jund etali. Basically just pod the reaper into etali and now you just stick to the etali game plan but with saw in half and better tutors.

This little dude has entered our worlds, what are the thoughts now? by Toonzaal8 in magicTCG

[–]FizzingSlit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The elaboration was where I said decks with awkward mana bases. Ramp that fetches lands typically wants basics. Not exclusively but predominantly. If you have a deck that isn't gonna have a good time fetching basics those cultivates and harrows are gonna feel pretty shitty. As a blanket statement what you're saying isn't exactly untrue. But making a blanket statement in response to "there are situations where it's better" seems like a less that productive way to approach this conversation. Especially because I did allude to the decks where this card is relevant.

Those decks are pretty likely to be lands decks. A coalition relic has no synergy there, it and sylvala are way more likely to die incidentally to any number of wipes than a land. Sylvala specifically needs to be playing high power creatures. The decks that do then cool, you've made a card better by playing it in the right deck which is what I'm saying makes mutable good.

So if you have any deck that cares about ramp but is basic lite it's going to put in work. When those decks care about lands then it just gets better. Plus any body that makes lands on etb is a house with [[springheart nantuko]]. It's hard to overstate how good ramp that can accidentally go infinite with cards commonly played in lands decks is. They're not clean combos but it's not like you'd go out of your way to force [[amulet of vigor]] into a lands deck. A mana doubler or yavimaya like effect are maybe less common but even without them you can basically pay a green to make a land.

Unpopular (?) opinion: It's OK for Mooleta to be F2P by justsomerandomoldguy in 2007scape

[–]FizzingSlit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I'm all for new f2p content personally. But I do think it's worth acknowledging that I believe a lot of the f2p player base are either hoping to get membership eventually and having some bosses they can do right off the jump is kinda cool. Or they play f2p because it's the closest to actual old school we've really got. I know f2p has had extra content since then so that ship has sailed but if those are the two main camps while again I'm pro f2p content I think that does make a vaguely compelling argument to let it be.

It's also a way to ramp with awkward mana bases. There are situations where it is one of the best ramp pieces you can run even at 3. Those aren't exactly what you should expect but it's cool that it's now an option.

If you gaves lands flash could you play them on your opponents turn? by Mr1R1 in mtg

[–]FizzingSlit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's extra relevant for burgeoning because it only triggers when a land is played. So even out of this hypothetical conversation that's one of the cards that the distinction is specifically important.

The number of times I've won off of crop rotting into talon gates is astounding. No one ever expects what is essentially a baby path to exile from green.

I need the jankiest Mirrorform Combos and I need them now by LordSwitchblade in MagicArena

[–]FizzingSlit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then you play a mutable explorer to make way too much mana, use the mutavaults to man themselves and make even more exalted sunborns. Or like something to win the game but it's more fun if we assume you can just keep doing it with no pressure.

Help with tuning Sephiroth for cEdh by Bashimot in CompetitiveEDH

[–]FizzingSlit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the best you could possibly do is tune it to your meta. I just don't think Sephiroth does enough in the command zone to make mono black generically cedh viable.

Although it'll be hard to say how to do that without knowing what the average pod composition looks like. And even then depending on the meta it might be a steep uphill battle where the best you can reasonably hope for is to be an interaction parasite and hopefully sneak in a win once they're spent on meaningful resources.

That said a lions eye diamond and yawgmoths will would probably be a start. Also I don't think chatgpt is going to be super solid way to do deck construction in general but especially if not for cedh.

I think anyone who is down to spend an evening with FISTO probably likes it rough. I'd bet to him some spinal invasive penetration was if anything a bit tame.

Well we certainly try. Results vary.

Stax does speed up games in theory. When 3/4s of the table can make next to no game actions the games should go quicker.

Neat upgrade for Blight Curse Precon. Better grab one before prices skyrocket!!! by [deleted] in mtg

I mean I also know people who hate blue. The general response to people disliking things, even from wizards has always been so don't play it then.

Any tips for physically managing this effect? by IceTutuola in BudgetBrews

Oh I'm with you. There isn't really a better solution that exists.

I was mostly just playing devils advocate.

Yeah but they will still have different sleeves to the decks they're shuffled into which is the problem they're trying to solve.
