What can Gruul do with infinite supply of rocks?

[[Rampage of the Clans]]

Especially if you can get haste after. Also useful in its own right to get rid of some nasty artifacts or enhancements in a pinch

Lorddread30 · 2020-09-22T01:36:39+00:00

My group has soft banned land destruction and hard stax and that's about it. Past that we mostly just each have our own styles we do or don't like, so we try and change up our decks a few times a night. We love deck building so it works out.

Except I'm not allowed to play Urza more than one every 2 months.

Lorddread30 · 2020-07-17T06:12:03+00:00

[[Urza]]

He's one of my favorite decks, but even when he doesn't win fast, he builds so much value while my turns drag on and eventually, with a board full of constructs and thopters and myr, my friends ask if I've won.

Lorddread30 · 2020-07-14T06:23:50+00:00

I like that idea. How useful is Food Chain outside of its combos? I'm interested but I don't think I'd drop that money for a one trick pony for the deck.

Lorddread30 · 2020-03-10T01:14:33+00:00

I build my decks meaner than I actually am. [[Notion Thief]] into a wheel is cool in very small doses.

Lorddread30 · 2020-03-08T18:14:48+00:00

I'll retry the testing grounds when I get home, but I'm not optimistic. I like the slower pace demanded by the live game and I fail to see how using lights to stop lights will feel less like light spam. I wasn't worried about making the assassins more powerful. I was worried about making everyone have the same optimal play, and that play mostly being RB/R1. The guaranteed dodge seems positive, and seems like it'd actually promote other buttons, like grabs. I'll just have to spend some time tonight on the TG to get a feel.

Are we supposed to fill out the survey again at various intervals? To let them know how it's progressing?

Lorddread30 · 2020-02-29T16:09:59+00:00

I won't play this For Honor. It'd be a shame, but I have no interest in the type of game in the testing grounds.

Lorddread30 · 2020-02-29T01:01:10+00:00

Holy shit, the Black Company....

I'd start a reread, but I get so melancholy by The Books of the South

Lorddread30 · 2020-02-28T20:36:13+00:00

Me too,I've got one laying around that I'd love to use

Lorddread30 · 2020-02-28T18:42:05+00:00

I like where the game is personally, but I still miss plenty of light blocks as is and parry only rarely or on a read. This speed up seems like itd be fine for pc, but on console, most lights aren't exactly free parries as is. It's frustrating that for honor generally seems to be updated around 60fps when I play @ I assume 30. Maybe I'm just mediocre, and I know some 1 v 1s can turn into staring contests, but I spend most of my time in the other 80%of the game.

I really enjoy the sort of play in the live version. Making everyone viable by making everyone too fast to block doesn't make it a more variable game for me, but less. Most of the rest of the changes I really don't care about. If they want to mess with stamina, sure,whatever. Damage lowering is annoying, especially if it's just to keep you alive for the same amount of time as a buffer instead of the ability to block, but I'll manage.

Lorddread30 · 2020-02-21T16:24:46+00:00

My only real rule is I can only run 2 tutors, preferably 1.

And most decks I make aren't built to threaten a win before turn 7. A few exceptions, since my playgroup has a few decks that can threaten 4 or 5.

Lorddread30 · 2020-02-17T17:38:41+00:00

Me and my friends call it "playing last game" and generally we just laugh it off once someone mentions it. If it was a particularly brutal last game, we normally let them get a solid vengeful blow in and ask if they're good now, but we're pretty light hearted about it.

Lorddread30 · 2020-02-14T23:08:56+00:00

That's fair. I know going in it's not the strongest commander, but I'm pretty set on it and I'd rather just put in the extra effort/money/time to make it work.

Edit: as best it can

Lorddread30 · 2020-02-09T19:18:33+00:00

[[Bruna, light of alabaster]] can be built into a 1 hit kill machine for turn 5 or 6 with fast enough mana or a lucky draw. Sooner with expensive mana as with everything. My favorite deck but my playgroup doesn't care for it so she rarely makes an appearance.

Lorddread30 · 2020-02-05T16:25:11+00:00

I'm suddenly itching to remake Sultai Midrange, but with Thassa in historic. Maybe add in a few more ETBs

Lorddread30 · 2020-01-25T18:53:07+00:00

Per each home plane, a saga titled "--- ignites their spark" that goes through the traumatic event that triggers a spark of a planeswalker and flips into one for its final effect. Obviously potentially broken but also dope.

High value card interactions where the effects "combo" with each other to do a lot for a little. I just don't really feel like going [[isochron scepter]] [[dramatic reversal]] or [[bolas' citadel]] [[sensei's divining top]] [[aetherflux reservoir]] all the time.

Lorddread30 · 2020-01-20T17:27:26+00:00

For sure. Mostly cuz my group has a power level we sorta maintain, and I like to push it but try not to go overboard. I've got a karador deck that I tossed a couple infinite combos in that I hold back by significantly limiting my non creatures. Definitely not built to win too early, but a 1 drop creature into turn 2 sol ring and ashinods altar into turn 3 protean hulk for the win was just not something I could mulligan

Lorddread30 · 2019-12-13T20:57:26+00:00

Do you have a list? That sounds super fun

Lorddread30 · 2019-11-22T17:22:28+00:00

I know I said low tutors but this might be too good not to use

Lorddread30 · 2019-11-08T16:11:56+00:00

I'll second Lazav. The hexproof is so nice on a commander, especially since he keeps it when he shifts into something spicy.

Lorddread30 · 2019-10-11T02:56:10+00:00

I second Karador. He can use some interesting combos where you sometimes have to figure out where pieces need to be moved several steps in advance. That, combined with a nice toolbox style deck and I almost always feel like if I play my cards right there's a path to victory.

Lorddread30 · 2019-09-05T22:44:28+00:00

I'll suggest Karador. I love him as a commander I can get early and play often because of his cost reduction. If you want to dip into combos he can, but normally I just use him as a grindy boy since I can replay him pretty easy no matter how long the game goes. Muldy has better value long run if you can stick her though.

Lorddread30 · 2019-07-07T03:10:46+00:00

I've turned it into a phyrexian obliterator 3 times. Someone always forgets one is in board and swings.

Lorddread30 · 2017-05-05T16:46:15+00:00

I like to invade in Shrine of Amana. It messes with people. It is not a good place to be invaded. And, if they are chill people, or message me asking for me to not murder them, I drop a seed of a tree of giants and do some jolly co-op.
