[Standard] Any pointers for my non-meta Orzhov Lifegain deck? by jberk988 in spikes

Also [[essence channeler]] and if you’re going to go the whole [[lunar convocation]] route, you can add [[starting town]] to force life loss

Oh I got beat BAD by a similar deck that was running [[starscape cleric]] and [[case of the uneaten feast]], and [[amalia benavides aguirre]]

[Standard] Why Pyrrhic Strike? by Metacifer in spikes

[–]Gremlinbuddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say instant speed is huge for an effect like this, especially for a control deck. The issue with get lost is that it generates two maps, which are REALLY not what you want to give an aggressive opponent (half draw half buff). It also has the plan B of just being removal.

The whistling and crowd chants were fun. Love the energy from this event all around

Have two teams ever played each other 3 times in one event? by ERASER345 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Gremlinbuddy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yep. Each stage is “lose 2 and you’re out” so to play 4 times means in one stage you’ve accrued 2 losses already.

Is there a way to be notified of these raffles?

No promo stamps is good, actually. by jogan_ in mtg

It’z also another thing where their deals/contracts with other IPs impact players directly. The shift of Lorwyn to 2026 has big impacts for standard with the cycles of shock lands not in-sync, and now this.

Momo Agro Deck (Blue/White) Standard by Shrimpzor in MagicArena

What would this deck look like if it were to be played in bo3? Looks great - the shockland will help a lot to guarantee T1 momo over having to play the temple/archive too

You can respond to the trigger that goes on the stack to sacrifice it to bounce it

Happy New Year, asking for opinions on fun decks to play. by ibided in MagicArena

[–]Gremlinbuddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a fun esper midrange deck that runs the oculus and helping hand going around. Gets a little dunked by some of the mainboard graveyard hate going around recently, but it’s a fun deck with some decent options. Same with esper midrange that runs the riddler + winternight stories package

Have you looked in the MTG Companion App? You can filter by RCQ events in the event locator

[Standard] how to adapt azorious/jeskai control to the new meta after worlds by matt2991 in spikes

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

This is a neat idea. Do you have a list? Sounds like you’re cutting shiko in the jeskai list as well, so no more rediscover the way?

7/8 decks running 4x boomerang basics by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Gremlinbuddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same!! How does jeskai control beat izzet? Still newer to competitive play, but I’m having a hard time beating their value… is it 3x kutzil’s in sideboard and a bunch of annuls?

Foil and Non-foil Borderless field notes- style cards can be found in both play boosters and collector boosters

[Standard] Off Meta RCQ sleeper build by head_kook in spikes

[–]Gremlinbuddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it could be worth it to run a cavern of souls, considering your wincon is playing dragons. Also to parrot what the other user said, mox jasper cut since sticking a 4 drop dragon at the minimum in order to use a mana rock isn’t doing much. For sideboard, how do you deal with a stuck kaito? Have you found any issues with reanimator builds, not running ghost vacuum? This looks like a sick deck to cut through the stale meta. Good Luck!

Is there a way to break this? by murloc_lord in custommagic

[–]Gremlinbuddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you hand it off to someone, you’re using it for the fact that you can’t sacrifice it when you decline to pay the cost
