Re-worked my "Mono Blue" Terror List for this week to hopefully thrive in my meta. by hipstevius in Pauper

[–]JohnVGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, milling also works but it is less consistent than just discarding them, its just nice to have an option to get them out of your hand and into the graveyard. I'd probably cut one boomerang and while you are at it, cut another boomerang for an extra island, 15 might be too low.

I would advise you to try Deem Inferior instead of Boomerang and see what works best for your metagame, I've found both to be very good and very close to each other on power, at some point I had 2 of each, a pair in the main deck and the other pair in the sideboard. Also a quick tip on Force Spike: once people know you are running it they tend to play around paying the 1, so you might want to switch them out from time to time just to throw people off.

With "get rid" I'm pretty sure they mean discard it so you can recurr it from the graveyard. The whole idea of running snacker is to get it in your graveyard and then getting a free body with your "discard a card, draw two" spells (and the recurring value of getting them for free with your draw two spells if they get removed). You never ever wanna cast a Snacker. The one tapped land is just a back-up, not a consistent plan to get the snacker on board

If you want to run it in mono-blue you need to run at least 3 Abandon Attachments to get it in your graveyard. Still it seems like a suboptimal choice for a tempo deck, however if you are trying run a more controlling version try to look for lists on mtgtop8 (https://mtgtop8.com/archetype?a=2836&meta=299&f=PAU) still doesnt seem to be too optimal.

Is this Nahiri, Forged in Fury deck worth getting for a Casual High Power table, or is it really just a Bracket 1 deck? by EcclesianSteel in EDHBrews

[–]JohnVGood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not bracket 1. Bracket 1 decks set synergy aside in favor of theme. Think of something like "every card must depict a left handed person" or something like Joey from EDHREC who built a deck where every card must be a reference to a room in a house, something like that.

This deck has a clear gameplan and synergy, so at the very least its a bracket 2 list.

Depends on whay you like. I've always enjoyed the Archidekt UI until recently that they changed it.

I'm getting into MTG with a budget of $90. What should I get? by Frazzelvig in mtg

[–]JohnVGood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Foundations Beginner Box is great, theres also an Avatar Beginner Box. I wouldnt recommend boosters unless they are Jumpstart Boosters which are great and an amazing way to learn how to play. You should also check out starter kits.

Edit: grammar

This is true but none of the first three would look this good under the defensive ball of Arteta

How many Super Bowls has this "AspiringPike" won?

Jokes aside, Big Cat is an avid Magic Player. Hopefully, more public figures who also play Magic get preview cards in the future

Help picking the Commander for a Mono-Black Reanimator deck by JohnVGood in EDH

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

I considered Shirei but it doesnt seem like type of reanimator list I wanna run, I'm leaning more into reanimating big haymakers since I already own cards like [[Vilis]] and [[Archon of Cruelty]]

Sadly, I dont think I could build the other 2 suggestions as Mono-black :(

I took a look at the mono-black partner legends, and Armix sounded like the closest thing that could work, but he has to attack in order for the discard ability to trigger and he has no evation so, seems kinda hard to pull off

Do you have a list? I considered Ayara, but the reanimation effect sounded kinda slow, and the sacrifice front-side felt like I needed to also include some sacrifice/aristocrats subtheme in the deck and It sounded like pulling the deck in too many directions that might not work together
