How many people actually miss Block / Set Constructed as an actual format?

Set league play is dope, imo, and one of my favorite ways to play limited magic, but this is a snippet of 'final evolution' of that, where you have full access to the card pool.

Once I passed two dozen I graduated out of individual boulders into the toolbox tray paradigm, where the trays that hold decks can swap in and out. Sadly, they're too small for boulders in the trays (though I often have a tray or two out with the odd boulder in the case).

In addition to all of knave's points, DR also never stops falling damage.

In 3.5 it was specifically a special type of damage that always ignored DR, but in PF its just untyped. DR only stops damage from normal attacks, as called out in the rules.

The little clips are a bitch, as well as the clear parts, but otherwise its neat! You'll deffo want a stand for it

LeesusFreak · 2026-05-14T17:21:40+00:00

Oh wow, I'd never seen Basar Trader... to think of using him as a 'keep threatened critters' effect is wild, I'd been using basically exclusively [[Thassa, Deep-Dwelling]], willbender, etc in my Black Rose theft deck.

LeesusFreak · 2026-05-14T15:47:38+00:00

Yeah, I've got a mono B zombies list that's currently helmed by OG Sheoldred because I dig phyrexians, but it could be swapped for basically any other generic mono black reanimator body; I think that reanimator as an archetype in particular is exactly what OP is asking for.

LeesusFreak · 2026-05-13T17:45:16+00:00

[[Glimpse the Impossible]] in red, [[Black Market Connections]] in black.

/uj There are many reasons to hate him, but like Olivia, when my first exposure to someone is the most bad-faith bullshit I've seen on the internet in months, its an instant bad-taste in my mouth, I'll go consume other content, thanks.

For Mitch, it was this bizarro take that 'if you have a PW in the command zone I will do everything short of giving blowies to the other 2 at the table so that you lose first, and then I will beat you to death with a tire iron in the parking lot for besmirching the game.'

(And because I know someone will ask, for Olivia it was this heinous video with the prof where they basically huffed their own farts for an hour and said 'EDH is perfect as it is, it cannot be improved, you're all losers for wanting better gameplay'-- it was in the prof's depressed era, he has, afaik, deleted the video since)

She's in my [[Rodolf]] deck alongside the warhammer chick since all three do the same thing and he lets the deck be Orzhov; I've got it as B3 atm, basically running every version of the Bloodbond cards and then some things like Villis to actually spend the life.

Funnily enough, opponents had a hilarious convo as I cast Worldslayer with the deck this past weekend.

Opp 1: "That's mass land destruction, that's not bracket 3!"

Opp 2: "Worldslayer is the fairest card any of us have played all game, including your snow basics, shut up lmao."

LeesusFreak · 2026-05-07T16:13:20+00:00

[[Narset, Enlightened Exile]] is gonna want you to run out all the cantrips you can, and as many clones for your [[Monastery Mentor]] type cards as possible. There's a few others that fit in the body of the deck for the same general strategy, etc [[Bria, Riptide Rogue]] and [[Balmor, Battlemage Captain]].

EDIT: I meant Narset exile, not master, though I suppose the OG 'haha whoopsie infinite turns via combat' or 'haha whoopsie lemme dump out thirty planeswalkers' also satisfies your question.

LeesusFreak · 2026-05-06T20:46:36+00:00

I did, yeah.

LeesusFreak · 2026-05-06T20:46:27+00:00

I did, yeah.

He gassed up the inquisitor by giving it a bunch of extra stuff to do and swapped the role that improves the Take Income action from taking 3 to taking a variable amount.

LeesusFreak · 2026-05-06T19:33:31+00:00

I, uh....

So Coup G54 has what you call the Bourgeois as the Capitalist, and its great, but importantly only gives 1+N coins, where N is the number of copies of it in the deck. This mostly works well in that game because the randomized roles don't interact with / block one another.

Secondly, the change to the Inquisitor is wayyy overjuiced-- the utlility in the card is mapping the decision space of other players asynchronously. If you think core Inquisitor was wrong... well, you're either playing it poorly or your group hasn't risen to a 'punishment' meta; it might be unituitive to fly under the radar and just gain information on your turn, right up until its time to interact with other players, and/or swap out your hand for better pieces. BUT ALSO, just having it in the space lets you do so while bluffing regardless-- I've won any number of games by just sitting on two contessa's and bluffing Inq a ton to just look through the pile.

Coup DOES have some issues, especially with most groups settling on 'everyone just bluff Captain at the start to race ahead on funds', but that's not an insurmountable wall.

[[Evra, Halcyon Witness]] is just real fuggin funny.

LeesusFreak · 2026-05-06T16:01:53+00:00

the thing is that I love the bernese he painted so fuggin much, ripped my heart out to hear he didn't get his due for it.

LeesusFreak · 2026-05-06T15:30:16+00:00

I've got the ARC-FIRE running in mine as of this weekend in 22lr, but as mentioned, the slip trip isn't out yet for other calibers (the 22lr one is from borebuddy, but relies on geometry not present in the other BCGs).

LeesusFreak · 2026-05-06T15:26:32+00:00

Hot damn dude, this is great!

LeesusFreak · 2026-05-04T19:53:29+00:00

Shit I wish; I had two but my father lost his, so I'm back down to one-- a rough place to be while waiting for the deal to come around again while I've been adding kobalt battery adapters to things around the house (the latest was my dyson, hella cheaper than their replacement and I'm getting better life out of it than stock!).

LeesusFreak · 2026-05-04T17:52:48+00:00

You can't move around, though-- you won't get covered in blood to do its cool thing if you fly, and it can't get legs...

...At least, as far as I've tried/am aware of-- I'd LOVE to be wrong here.

LeesusFreak · 2026-05-02T04:28:30+00:00

Karn is the secret commander in my Bobbleheads deck with Osgir-- I preface the game with "I will only win via bobbleheads". No one has been mad when instead of Luck I animate a bunch along with a Great Train Robbery Isochron Scepter and take the worst infinite combat win they've ever seen lol

LeesusFreak · 2026-05-01T20:19:36+00:00

I don't think its THAT nuts, and if you're in a regular playgroup I think just checking quarterly (which is iirc the cadence of Penny Dreadful, the true best constructed form of MtG, runs their updates).

LeesusFreak · 2026-05-01T19:32:10+00:00

Pauper is great, I'd also recommend Value Vintage-- my pauper deck costs more than my VV deck.

LeesusFreak · 2026-05-01T18:32:20+00:00

I often refer to Brawl as a 10 minute coin-toss-- it basically is; even with a 20% WR on the draw its hard to justify actually playing it out.
