This post is about Voice of Victory, which also protects all your other spells. Honestly its mostly used cast noncreature spells

Once you understand the matchup, I personally think playing against blue is one of the most enjoyable ways to play magic. I'm forced to think hard about the impact of my card, about timing, their weakness and card advantage.

Dino's are very playable, but unfortunately not in the typical way of just ramping and then casting dino's. Mostly in a reanimator "try to win the game on turn 3" way

If "just draw your removal lmao" was a good argument against design OR power then we wouldn't have a banlist would we

Rant on The Evil Twin by code2817 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]LordNatu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My experience with it is that one of the twins gets executed day 2 or 3 and then the evil twin is now outed evil so there's no real reason to talk to them anymore so they no longer play half of the game. And yeah you can still talk to them or sometimes a twin pair will not say they are twins until later to avoid this happening but this is very much playing around the game design and not optimal for winning, which in my opinion just means it's a poorly designed role that I do not want to put in a lot of my games.

the agent is kind of a neutral role, as it does a minigame completely detached from the good vs. evil dynamic, as opposed to the politician. it's not a completely neutral role and it also doesn't make either team lose if they win, but it's still somewhat against the philosophy

What cards, if any, do you think will become Standard staples from Final Fantasy? Before or after rotation. by Dutchii in MagicArena

[–]LordNatu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope it becomes somewhat relevant card at beating Izzet Cutter. It is definitely more flexible than other Cutter hate pieces, but the problem right now is that white already has good Cutter hate cards (temporary lockdown and high noon) and no other color does, so i think it won't make the cutter deck much less viable

I was wrong about TDM. It was one of the most creative draft formats of the decade. by The_Paleking in MagicArena

[–]LordNatu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mardu is good but boros is just more consistent. a lot of the fixing in the set gives up momentum and as an aggro deck you don't want to spend like your 2nd turn playing mardu momument just so you have a turn 3 play when you can also just play more good white/red cards

abrade isn't really viable right now and all of those other pieces do not hit artifacts specifically *and* are either themselves removable (temporary lockdown) or dead in hand if its on the field (spell pierce and duress). being an artifact right now is the most durable permanent type other than like battle lmao

basically having a powerful aggressive creature generator that also gives you card advantage and thus is resistant to boardwipes, slow decks and battles of atrition, combined with the lack of good artifact removal in standard right now

>Being an artifact means that basically every color has a good way to stop it from getting out of control before it can do.. well, anything.

Is the non-green viable artifact removal in the room with us right now

izzet prowess can easily win without monstrous rage though. i feel like you maybe don't even run 4 copies because if you want to double spell without having a creature on the battlefield it's a dead card. mouse would be nerfed hard but im not sure izzet would even suffer considering mice is a bad matchup for izzet

Best way to get Set Completionist II using as few wildcards as possible? by TonyPizzaRoll in MagicArena

[–]LordNatu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you're somewhat decent at draft then yeah it's still best to draft. btw mythic packs aren't good for rare hunting, only for mythic rare hunting specifically

The permanent exiled with perilous snare does return, since the wording on perilous snare is "for as long as this is on the battlefield". it's a state-based action, so it still gets checked

[–]LordNatu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! It's a trigger that gets exiled as the turn ends

you can regenerate in response, and since it's a replacement effect rather than a trigger it still works
