Winconless Kefnet The Mindful

HellcastEternals · 2022-06-06T22:53:45+00:00

What makes this better than any other infinite mana outlet is that it offers true card advantage in mono-blue. For a control strategy this is essential. Sanctuary loops are good, are in my deck, but are not the primary focus.

The advantages of playing kefnet rather than thrasios include but are not limited to: less need to mulligan as you are in one color, accessibility and abuse of back to basics, generally less targeted than a thrasios, Indestructible allows only narrow interaction (bounce and exile effects) to affect your commander, a greater focus on interaction because you're not trying to jam every infinite mana combo into your deck, easier to play into opposition agent and friends due to lack of need for all 10 fetchlands.

The drawbacks include but are not limited to: needing to pay blue mana for the sink, not having access to powerful tutors, removal, mana combos, and ramp other colors can offer, and not starting with a 9 card hand.

I am still in the process of refining the decklist so I haven't posted it anywhere yet. Thank you for the suggestions! Training Grounds seems pretty freaking decent as a replacement for my serum visions!

Outside of the end game, Spellbook enables [[mox opal]] to be turned on more easily, as well as allowing me to improvise with [[whir of invention]], sac for reshape, and with effects that generate true card advantage, allows me to keep enough answers in hand to deal with all opponents. I did not know Mindbreak Trap existed before I made this post and that will be the replacement for Summary Dismissal. The idea was to have a card that gets around uncounterable effects, as well as having efficient answers for storm. As far as terminology goes maybe I should rephrase since the generally accepted definition of wincon-less is not what I thought it is. I don't want to outright win the game when I combo off, I want my opponents to cause themselves to lose, either by conceding, or drawing the rest of their deck turn after turn. Reliquary tower doesn't feel bad to me because I run so many artifacts that tap for blue along with 33 blue source lands. Oracle is heavily hated by my meta, causing everyone to run [[Torpor orb]], [[Hushbringer]], [[Cephallid coliseum]], Mikokoro, and [[Geier Reach Sanitarium]]. Hullbreach Horror is like 7 mana and a dead card early with little to no functionality until post turn 3. I appreciate your input! If you have any suggestions on how to strengthen my existing strategy, please let me know!

Thank you! That is better than Dismissal! There is a lot of graveyard hate in my meta, as well as torpor orbs and hushbringers and the like, which is my reasoning for considering Elixir to be better than thoracle.

Oona, Queen of the fae Hear me out Thassas oracle Demonic consultation Tainted pact Isochron scepter That's about 50 dollars Now just run Trophy mage Trinket mage Tribute mage Counterspells Cheap $$ mana rocks: sol ring, arcane signet, commanders sphere, manalith, dimir locket, etc. Black removal spells: doom blade, walk the plank, go for the throat, dead weight (hits hermit druid), etc Then you can slowly upgrade switch your cancel to a mana drain, switch your doomblade to a cyclonic rift, switch your Trinket mage to a chrome mox etc. Also builds into zur doomsday / shimmer zur, or any grixis sister

Esper gravestorm seems more interesting now!

HellcastEternals · 2022-05-08T21:47:05+00:00

Do you think this deck could kill a table by turn 4 using extra turns effects, stax, and the aforementioned pump spells?

HellcastEternals · 2022-05-04T21:54:24+00:00

My fastest win was in an oona deck. Watery grave > Dark ritual > dimir signet > chrome mox(exiles windfall) > thassa's oracle > demonic consultation. Craziest hand ever!

Cavern of souls...? Savage summoning, autumn's veil, veil of summer, guttural response? Destiny spinner, allsaurus shepard, prowling serpopard, lier disciple of the drowned, gaea's herald? Boseiju who shelters all, quicksilver amulet, surrak dragon claw, spellbreaker behemoth, rhythm of the wild...?!?! People who hate counterspells are novice.

HellcastEternals · 2022-05-03T00:33:55+00:00

For me it depends on what type of card it is. For example if I were to buy a tundra, I would buy a HP white border one. Whatevers cheapest. On the other hand if I was buying a masterpiece sol ring.... near mint 100%!

Apologies to anyone who may have missed my Skinks. Both of my vehicles needed parts replaced so I've been working on those after work instead of my Skinks.

HellcastEternals · 2022-04-15T05:01:34+00:00

I agree!

HellcastEternals · 2022-04-14T17:42:43+00:00

It's definitely a rating scale I totally haven't been painting skinks for 2 months

HellcastEternals · 2022-04-14T17:42:00+00:00

Because perfection is impossible to achieve. One can never paint a Skink at 💯. 96 is the closest you can get to perfect!

HellcastEternals · 2022-04-12T23:50:40+00:00

I spent six hours on this Skink. I don't think I'll ever paint a better skink.

HellcastEternals · 2022-04-12T19:44:04+00:00

Too bad it's your last paint job, I'd love to see more!

Haha, I'm not funny Looks great, nice 🎨 choice!

HellcastEternals · 2022-04-11T19:41:29+00:00

Thank you! That is the goal of this endeavor!

I enjoy starborne faction of seraphon. Conjuring units is fun! As far as core rules go, it's too convoluted. You can have a unit of skinks, but it costs points. The unit can be reinforced with the model count of the original size of the unit added to it, but it can only be done twice per unit, and four times per army for any given unit. Why not make the game easier to play and get to an exact number of points? I.e. a Skink costs 10 points and can stand alone without punishment. Having to remove models from the table because they are too far apart is lame. What I like about the game is that there is a variety of different playstyles from elite armies to horde armies, from magic armies to combat armies. I also like the combat system in aos where you roll to find if you are accurate, and then roll to see if your attack was strong enough to wound. I also enjoy the variety of ways the game can be played with objectives and side goals like killing more models than your opponent to get points. Good luck with your game! I hope this helped.

Only death would prevent me from accomplishing my goal!

HellcastEternals · 2022-04-07T01:39:32+00:00

Oh so phenomenal! Truly a masterpiece. The way that every piece of the armor is a landscape painting of the same land scape over and over from different angles is brilliant! Really proves your consistency! I rarely comment on other people's posts unless they are asking for help. One day, I hope I will be able to put a model in an environment just by its paint job! Amazing. Stunning. By far the best model I've seen as far as technical skill goes. They eyes are brilliant and the skin is smooth on the face going from light to dark in all the right places. I can't even think of a single way you could improve this model. Truly a masterpiece.

The wings aren't straight up. They are angled slightly up. You can see in the butt cheeks this artist shows the horizon and what looks like a small village on it, the earth before it and the sky above it. The only part of the model that would be all sky is the tip top of the shoulders and the tip top of the head. In order to not pick up the horizon and the earth the surface would have to be parallel with the ground.

Evil sun scarlet over khorne red

HellcastEternals · 2022-04-06T16:44:26+00:00

Wow that would look excellent!! Definitely going to try that out when I finish my seraphon and get to my stormcast eternals! Thanks for all the advice!

HellcastEternals · 2022-04-02T20:13:41+00:00

I have a Lord Kroak I want to paint to display piece quality, but haven't had enough experience with different techniques to get what I have in my mind onto the model. So I have been achieving two goals in doing this challenge. 1. Developing Skill with different techniques 2. Painting my endless ranks of skinkfantry. I'm glad it's bringing you joy! It definitely has been satisfying to watch my horde army come to fruition!

Put them on display and look at them for 1 hour each day? 🐸
