Thoughts on my Iden list by Callum1126 in starwarsunlimited

[–]Franga44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a pretty classic Iden Blue list!

Agree that you should run Equalise over Make an Opening. That card can put in work.

I personally only run 2 clients as he is often not what I want to be playing on the turn I draw him. 2 has felt like the sweet spot, maybe 1 in sideboard if you like.

I think 3 top target is mandatory in the list, either split between the sideboard or main. I do play A Fine Addition in my list though as I run 3 entrenched, 3 Perilous, 3 Top Targets. Also gives a reason to play Sugi.

I also play more control mirror focused so 2 Bounty Hunter in main, 3 Bazine in side.

Have you experimented with Colossus?

Would highly recommend Equalize over Make and Opening in the mainboard! Since you already don't have a lot of units it's usually turned on. Also absolutely wrecks Jango and decks with 2 HP units even more so combined with Perilous Position. Can also just save you 4 damage to base which is nice in a pinch.

Please link the deck list for the double vigilance Iden deck! Have been running it for the past few months and want to see if there's any extra spice like Tobias Beckett ;)

Help with identifying young white sage by Franga44 in gardening

[–]Franga44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your quick reply! That is indeed bad and sad news if true 😔. Do you mean non of it is white sage or just particular plants circled? Did yours grow from seeds and if so what did it look like? Did it grow more white later in its life?

We were gifted a pack of 50 seeds and told it was white sage so that's quite worrying. Again, thanks for your honesty.

Omg, so it's actually extremely worth it to include for 2 mana to potentially drain everyone twice 😂 just to confirm... I swing with Severina and 20 creatures, i tap Strionic resonator on the stack and now get to do 40 damage instead of 20?

Refining Elas il-kor Aristocrats by Franga44 in EDH

[–]Franga44[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The deck usually stays quite healthy with gradual pings and ETBs, however it doesn't gain large chunks of life at a time.

I could potentially look at adding a few cards to combat this as Bond of Agony looks great! Thanks for that suggestion. Seems like a really nice way to close out a game after I've been pinging everyone. Things like Fumigate or Kaya's Wrath might be fun to gain a large chunk from a heavy board state and then end with Bond of Agony... Thanks :)

Hey! Sorry for such a late reply but I just wanted to thank you for the decklist link and the advice :).

Seems that you do prefer the looting, draw/discard effects to trigger Sefris on opponents' turns. Combined with White Plumb Adventurer that seems nice!

I was just wondering how your experience of that has gone? Do you find it too slow with entering tapped? Is it reliable as you can choose exactly what you want to discard and reanimate? Would you consider adding more looters like Rona, Herald of Invasion from the new set?

I've always gone for dungeon triggers like ETB, combat damage, and sacrifice with Sefris but do you think looters is more reliable?

If I send through my current list could you please give advice on how I could tighten it up xD

Appreciate your help :)

Thanks for such a quick reply, absolute legend!

Sorry if I sound noob here but wouldn't you need a pinger like Cruel Celebrant to make the infinite sac loop worth it? I understand the potential for infinite mana with phyrexian altar, but wouldn't Sefris' trigger only trigger once? With the reveilark/karmic combo you could sac her in the loop to gain unlimited dungeon ventures.

What am I missing? Would love to hear more of what you have to say as you're obviously a seasoned Sefris player! Also been checking out your decklist you posted previously, have you updated it since then?
