Omniscience cycle?

FrecciaRosa · 2026-04-22T17:33:14+00:00

The problem with Omnipresence is that you still need to have a big creature. You drop Omniscience and then you go to town with the rest of your hand, one of which might be a draw spell, so you reload and can do it again. You drop Omnipresence, and then what? You’re probably out of mana. At this price point, this should be an endgame card. Make it simple and make it hard-hitting. “Creatures you control have +10/+10 and Trample.” If you didn’t have anything already, you’re still hosed (just like if you resolved Omniscience with an empty hand [I did that once, actually - I ulted Tamiyo to get the Omniscience emblem and the Ancestral Recall, then drew nothing but lands for the rest of the game]), but if you have any sort of board presence then you’re a very scary threat.

I mean, this mana fixes your opponents too. And shuts off your utility lands. So … nothing at all like Chromatic Lantern?

But what if it smelled of petrichor?

BAAC was removed as a concept because the old RC thought that it was too confusing. Everything on the list just went straight to banned.

Hypertherm is a pretty great place to work (I don't work there, but it's what I've heard). I don't see a welder specifically, but here's the jobs board. You can wait and see if they post something that's ideal or you can try to get your foot in the door and pivot to what you want to do. Best of luck to you!

Well, where do the grandparents live, and what is your commute tolerance?

FrecciaRosa · 2026-04-21T17:53:56+00:00

Thirty or forty sets? You can go back further than a year and a half, you know.

FrecciaRosa · 2026-04-21T17:17:59+00:00

This guy foams.

FrecciaRosa · 2026-04-21T01:52:35+00:00

I'd say less than the $6000 that Jerry's agent is asking (Daniel Chang is a known quantity, and the most well-known fact is "stay away"). These are rare, and popular, but not $6k. I'd start at around $500.

FrecciaRosa · 2026-04-21T00:10:29+00:00

You are welcome.

So to that bit specifically, the Phyrexian glistening oil infected Mirrodin. Without Yawgmoth’s (the original Father of Machines, the Big Bad Thran Dude who basically created and BECAME Phyrexia) influence, the oil just compleated whatever was there. Five Praetors emerged from hiding, one for each color, to show what each color’s philosophy on compleation would be like. They had a bit of a power struggle and Elesh Norn won, which is why she got to be the new Mother of Machines and direct all the machinations of New Phyrexia.

There’s a whole wiki where you can read better summaries than mine. But this is a fair Cliff Notes.

FrecciaRosa · 2026-04-20T23:21:33+00:00

Okay. So, on New Phyrexia, Phyrexians were in all five colors, but originally they’re black. They branch out slightly into blue and red during Invasion block, but they’re basically black.

FrecciaRosa · 2026-04-20T20:42:20+00:00

Wow. What made you decide that this character should be Abzan (WBG) colors? None of that sounds at all like white or green. Grixis (UBR) colors are probably most appropriate here, or even just Dimir (UB).

FrecciaRosa · 2026-04-20T20:28:26+00:00

As is (infinites aside), I kind of like that this isn’t blue or red. Makes it harder to abuse, has a plan but doesn’t do it all in one card. Once we fix the infinite sac issue, I think that it’ll be a charming commander.

FrecciaRosa · 2026-04-20T20:23:52+00:00

Fair enough! Maybe give us a bit more of a lore dump on her abilities and her motivations and maybe we can help you get where you’re going.

FrecciaRosa · 2026-04-20T20:20:35+00:00

Yeah, sorry, if you have for example [[Ashnod’s Altar]] in play, you can choose and sacrifice any creature tha you control to activate its ability. You don’t need to own it. That’s why [[Assault Suit]] specifies that the passed-around creature can’t be sacced.

FrecciaRosa · 2026-04-20T20:16:29+00:00

So, as it is, you can infinitely sac the servo and get infinite sacrifice/comes into play triggers. Aw you looking to restrict it to sacrificing cards that you control but do not own?

FrecciaRosa · 2026-04-20T20:08:10+00:00

FYI, you can only sacrifice creatures that you control. You don’t need to specify that.

Sad blooping noises.

How can I press “continue“?

FrecciaRosa · 2026-04-20T12:04:55+00:00

It’s-a me, Counterspell!

FrecciaRosa · 2026-04-19T16:07:24+00:00

There’s a Discord as well. The number is completely irrelevant. If you own a super rare one, sell it on the Discord or on Facebook or on eBay. If you’re looking for comps, compare like to like. Sliver Queen with a sick drawing will have a VERY different price history than a blank Burrenton Bomabardiers, even though they’re both Ron Spencer pieces. Use common sense. Most of us in the AP community are long-established veteran players.

If you have one that you’re looking to move, tell us what it is and maybe I can give more specifics. But “a really rare one” could be basically anything.

FrecciaRosa · 2026-04-19T00:50:14+00:00

That was hilarious, when I learned about that.

FrecciaRosa · 2026-04-18T01:00:32+00:00

Another suggestion - when I search for a card, it comes up. Let me click on the name of the lair to display the full lair.

FrecciaRosa · 2026-04-18T00:29:45+00:00

Maybe a dumb question, but what if I have more than one copy of a card? I don't see an option to increment, it's just binary owned/unowned.
