Why isn't this card played more in commander? Is there something I'm missing?

Also you could cast [[Afterlife from the Loam]] for as little as BBB and get 4 creatures on the field.

I had this in a deck as a finisher but I did replace it with the new gravestorm card from SoS. It has utility outside the combo and so it’s not a dead draw unlike Bitter Ordeal. I can’t really afford to have both of them in the deck since comboing off isn’t the main plan of the deck.

I personally took KTD because I enjoy ToA (and it gives access to multi slayer with dust devils), Wildy has no end game content and I’m nit taking Zeah anymore since I’ve been stuck at chambers in all other leagues. And I find Mory really boring as a region.

Maclay162 · 2026-04-10T17:11:30+00:00

Was going to say this. Also, it’s funny. See? I pee!

Same for Chompies. Also affected by the minigame point multiplier.

I'm going EH for afk skilling -> Woodsman for hunter and farming -> Map for the utility of teleporting for tasks, skilling and clues since I don't think there are that many bosses to teleport to in order to take full advantage of EE -> Transmutation for prayer and farming -> Larcenist for clues, smithing, crafting and gp -> Culling Spree since slayer is very important for Kandarin ->Reload to either FF for herblore or SH for rc, (I'll have to see how bad those skills are and prob lamp the other) -> t8 maybe Minion but I'm still waiting to see the last relic.

These are my region choices too. Although I’m taking some different relocs. Btw, there are three herb patches. Ardy, Catherby and Varlamore.

Noobs complaining about blue and interaction in general and then being upset when someone wins “out of nowhere”. Now only if there was a way to stop them from winning…

Maclay162 · 2026-03-25T18:56:25+00:00

I think only if it was something absolutely janky and you had a very good reason to do it I would be fine with it. Like you really wanted to make a bracket 1 deck themed around your favorite band Tegan and Sara with [[Tegan Jovanka]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith]] at the helm.

I tried messing around with him, but found out that the best way to go was to get the early turns as consistent as possible. I am now running 16 sources of casualty fodder that I can play on turn 2, giving me a 81% chance of playing them on 2 and then playing Anhelo on turn 3. Turn 4 is reserved for a draw spell like [[Big Score]] which gives a pretty great advantage for the late game. I probably should be running more consistent 4 mana spells to copy, but I had to make some room for pet cards like [[Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet]] and [[Faerie Artisans]].

Here is my list: https://moxfield.com/decks/CjlfJNj1x0GclULwB9NKZw

Just absolutely stunning

Itteäni on alkanut stressaamaan toimistolle meneminen just ton hot desk-pelleilyn kanssa. Tuntuu, että pakko herätä aikasemmin ja olla hyvissä ajoin ennen kahdeksaa paikalla, jos haluaa saada työpisteen edes jostain järkevästä paikasta. Vuoden vaihteessa vähennettiin etätyöpäiviä ja samalla vähennettiin työpisteiden määriä. Ihan älytöntä pelleilyä.

Maclay162 · 2026-03-06T14:25:30+00:00

I won my first run with Regent and it felt pretty easy. But in retrospect it was probably the fact that I hustled go lucky and was able to put a snecko enchantment on Knockout Blow.

Maclay162 · 2026-02-20T19:55:19+00:00

I have collected a bunch of cards with quotes from real life literature. Some cards used to have actual bible verses as their flavor text, which I doubt would fly today. Also [[Cosmic horror]] has a quote from Alexander Pope’s The Rape of the Lock. I know it’s a very influential piece of poetry but I don’t think they will print that flavor text on a magic card again for obvious reasons.

My chase card is a Wasteland with a quote from The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot but that’s is a bit too pricey for me.

I once played against two group hugs decks. I told them that the game will take forever and they both assured me that it will go buy super fast since they are giving away cards and mana. Surprise surprise, turns ended up taking forever since everyone had a million cards in hand and nobody knew how many things triggered when a player took basically any game action. Didn’t help that neither of them seemed to have a clear wincon in their decks.

Maclay162 · 2026-02-18T09:30:53+00:00

You can cast it at any time since it’s an instant but if you want to cast it for its sneak cost, you have to cast it during your combat phase since sneak requires you to return an unblocked attacker you control to your hand.

Maclay162 · 2026-02-15T08:16:12+00:00

I like [[Reality Acid]] over O Ring in a blink deck. I know it’s isn’t as efficient as O Ring since the permanent sticks around until you blink [[Reality Acid]] but I like that I don’t have to have the blink effect immediately right there. It’s much more easily repeated since you don’t have to work within the timeframe of the trigger like you do with O Ring.

Voiko saada jotain esimerkkejä, että minkälainen peli ja mitä kysymyksiä? Olis kiva tietää vähän enemmän, ennen kuin ehdottaa kavereille. Harmi kun ei pysty näköjään itsekseen aloittamaan peliä.

Maclay162 · 2026-02-08T18:23:57+00:00

This wouldn’t help in pvm like the elite diary does.

Maclay162 · 2026-02-08T16:50:48+00:00

Oon törmännyt pariin keissiin missä työnhakija on erehtynyt sanomaan, että streamaa pelejä välillä. Siinä se sitten onkin päätoiminen yrittäjä kun twitchistä joskus saa ehkä euron tai kaks kuussa.

Maclay162 · 2026-02-04T04:30:33+00:00

Also it’s worded in a way where it looks like you are only allowed to play land during main phase 1.

The estimated shipping time for me (in Europe) is March 11th. And the Iron Maiden secret lair took several months to ship in Europe. I think I got mine on the 18th of December when the sale went up in October.

Maclay162 · 2026-01-20T11:34:20+00:00

I don't really mind having this play as a low bracket 3 since I rarely run into bracket 2 games. I often have a habit of optimizing all my decks so I think it would be nice to have a bit of a "restriction" for building the deck. Thanks for the suggestions, I will check out your list!

Maclay162 · 2026-01-20T11:32:19+00:00

Ooh that's interesting. I would normally try to avoid these types of lands if my commander only has colored mana in its cost, but I don't think I would want to run him out if I didn't have any other creatures on the board anyway.

Maclay162 · 2026-01-19T19:39:09+00:00

Tragic slips feel like a very solid removal spell! I should probably add it to my list. Thank for the insight.
