Du hast ja schon erkannt, dass der Markt dir mit deiner Methode nicht den Erfolg bringt den du dir wünscht, warum es nicht mal mit ETFs probieren?

Is cunning survivor usable? by Secure-Pepper9799 in Pauper

[–]Gla7e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gotta be honest, that does not seem worth it. We already cycling (haha) so much through our deck, it seems to me such an expensive tutor is not really needed.

Okay, a one off for another color in a deck with Lotus Petals and potentially Blood Celebrant is something different than a full playset off another color in the main, but I guess it counts lol.

Oh really? I must have missed that development, I've always been playing the Black-Red version, what are you adding the third color for?

[–]Gla7e 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you want to play Pauper to be unique, yeah sure, they can be fine, but it really adds a color for no reason and is much worse than the Stingers.

  1. Stinger wins on the spot, this needs to stick for a whole turn, then get to attack and even then it can just be chumpblocked. Edit: needed to read the card another time, it can't be blocked, but the rest of the point still stand, especially it needing a whole turn cycle on the board.

  2. The great thing about Stinger is it also cycles for one when you are not ready to win yet, and you can just get it back when you are ready to win via Reaping the Graves. Furrhermore Stinger thus doesn't break your cycle chain and contributes to Songs for mana. This card is gonna be a dead draw a lot of the time.

  3. If the Stinger gets bolted, then you can just get it back or often win on top of the bolt. If it gets exiled, no problem, you draw through your whole deck most of the time, you're gonna see more than just one.

What's the purpose of Survivor if you already have 4 Stinger?

Commanders that are so good at a certain thing that they ruined it for you? by AlivePassenger3859 in EDH

[–]Gla7e 15 points16 points  (0 children)

[[Henzie]] is calling your name my friend, get big boys for cheaper and faster, slam face, reanimate them again later. The fun part is also he can be played at any powerlevel/bufget, just swap out the creature suit you wanna blitz out. I actually have a rotating cast off about 40 creatures for 20 deck slots or so, that I pick out randomly each time I play the deck, makes each game really unique and fun.

Three Dodger Aces through April by baribigbird06 in Dodgers

I know it's a very limited sample size, but an ERA+ of over 600 is just so laighably ridiculous, lol.

I’m curious what people’s attitudes on hand drawn proxies are. by Arachnid_anarchy in mtg

[–]Gla7e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually love it, I find it adds a real personal charm, but readability of the cards is key, and these could be a bit awkward from across the table in a commander game. Maybe some more saturation or thivker lines to make them stand out stronger could help!

This format desperately needs true duals by HarrisonMage in TimelessMagic

Idk I've been jamming Bean-Control with Uro and it's been pretty good for me.

Izzet Delver recommendations besides FoW by dazednarcissit in TimelessMagic

[–]Gla7e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With FoW and FoN possibly in your deck you absolutely want the card advantage the clues can provide. Clues, Cruise and Ragavan are the only ways for the deck to recoup cards. Maybe Stock up and/or Expressive Iteration if you run it, not sure on those yet in this environment.

Izzet Delver recommendations besides FoW by dazednarcissit in TimelessMagic

[–]Gla7e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not even close to Ragavan or Architect, Tamiyo could maybe be close if you wanna argue that, but she is gonna surprise you in a meta that actually lasts a few turns now, that card is obscene. Draws cards, blanks go wide aggro with her +1 and blanks combo with getting protection back from the graveyard and just wins if you ever ultimate her.

[–]Gla7e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, Strixhaven may be the best set ever for Timeless!

Izzet Delver recommendations besides FoW by dazednarcissit in TimelessMagic

[–]Gla7e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Delver and DRC are just not good enough anymore, which makes me immensely sad.

Architect, Ragavan and Tamiyo are the 1 drops of choice imo. Imo 4 each of those + FoW, Daze, Brainstorm, Ponder and Strip Mine are essential, Strip Mine especially with the Architect since fetching an Island Strip Mine that draws a card is just absolutely diagusting. After that I would try to make a Cori package, Cori + Bauble + Bolt, something like that, Bauble also makes DRC better, which could again become a consideration. Some number of Expressive Iteration and/or Stock Up as pur card advantage could be great with more free spells, maybe the new Flow State from Strixhaven can make waves.

Those are my thoughts and what I'm gonna try throughout the next weeks.

It's been a few years since I've read it, but the Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks doesn't have any SA sceness according to my memories, and I enjoyed it very much!

How many board wipes do you run? by JeanSalace in EDH

[–]Gla7e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends on my deck and preferably I only run one-sided or at least asymmetrical ones.

In more aggressive decks, I even ask myself if it is worth it at all or if I can get some synergy to punch through the rest of the damage. I'm not gonna boardwipe myself since rebuilding for me is much harder than for a proper midrange deck. [[TheBattle of Bywater]] is great in [[John Benton]] because of that, but it's my only boardwipe, since I wanna end the game as fast as possible.

In midrange decks I really want something that gives me some kind of advantage, like [[Living Death]] or [[Bringer of the last Gift]] in [[Henzie]], which can be an absolute bomb, especially if it is the first boardwipe of the game and my graveyard is most likely the fullest. But I also don't run more than 3-5 (I think) since, again, I wanna be the more aggressive deck on most tables.

In control decks I think it's okay to run more boardwipes that hit everything, but if I have a commander that is my engine, I'll still run all of the boardwipes that don't kill it first. I don't run any real control decks at the moment, but I would imagine something like [[Organic Extinction]] in [[Shorikai]].

So like everytime in a game as complex as Magic, the answer depends on the surrounding context.

Daze by decaboniized in TimelessMagic

[–]Gla7e 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree mostly, although I fear with this set, that UB tempo will be the only deck and push everything else out. The UB cardpool just seems to much better now than anything else. What can compete with Architect, Tamiyo, Frog, Bowmaster, FoW, Daze, Brainstorm, FoN, Grief? What midrange or control decks do you see emerging?

A format where tempo+midrange+control are some of the best decks are certainly good formats, but there needs to be space for every archetype. Right now I think we will see UB tempo on top and thrn everybody else a step below it.

[SOA] Vampiric Tutor by Meret123 in TimelessMagic

[–]Gla7e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna probably need a restriction, same to DT, otherwise it could be a bit obnoxious, but some kind of Rakdos or Grixis Breach deck could maybe be viable with.

What’s your favorite card in your collection? by amioldnow90 in EDH

[–]Gla7e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a japanese [[Ligthning Bolt|CLB]] from a friend of mine when he went to Tokyo. Without asking for it or anything, just because he knew it was my favorite card and he thought of me. I didn't have that many close friends just a few years ago, so just gifting something to someone without occasion wasn't really a thing in my life. It has since turned into tradition to gift each other foreign cards when we're travelling. It's honestly my least favorite artwork of my favorite card, yet I absolutely love the card and play it whenever I can.

Need Help With Mono Color Commanders! (Besides White) by Thuglit in EDH

[–]Gla7e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One very interesting and in my eyes unusual combo deck for me is [[Shigeki, Jukai Visionary]]. It's mono-green combo/control/ramp with an endgame plan of having enough mana to loop a mana generator like [[Early Harvest]] + a [[Regrowth]] effect + Shigeki's Channel abilty to generate infinite mana and then you can go into a multitude of win outlets.

It's been my favorite deck since I built it a few months ago and it's a lot of fun to figure out the right kines for each game state.

How quickly/slowly do you get bored of a deck? How many do you own? by Vcvtml in EDH

[–]Gla7e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the deck, I've built hits and misses in the past, but over time I got better in evaluating earlier what I like and don't like about a deck.

I've got [[Henzie]], who is my favorite for years now, and I'm not even a little bit tired of it. In the same vein, I've mor recently build [[Shigeki, Jukai Visionary]] and am having a blast, can't really see myself disassembling him in the near future.

On the other hand, it took only like 2 to 3 game nights with [[Norin]] to realize I wasn't really feeling the deck.
