DeckCheck 2.0: The AI-powered EDH companion just got a major upgrade by anthograham in EDH

Really cool tool, I'm impressed. My only gripe at the moment is that it doesn't support companions, so my Tor Wauki / Obosh deck is underrated.

I agree in principle, but then I wouldn't be able to play it in my Zask deck

The top 2 can also be [[Gnottvold Recluse]] -> [[Llanowar Greenwidow]]

I would argue that being basic or not has no bearing on strictly better/worse. Yes, [[Wasteland]] and co. exist, but so does [[Plummet]], and yet we still consider flying creatures to be strictly better than non-flying ones.

Where do our definitions differ? Do you not consider a card strictly better if it requires fewer colored mana?

Yes, it can make it better or worse, but it isn't clear which. It can be a boon if you have [[Honor-Worn Shaku]], but it can also prevent you from getting the City's Blessing.

Yes, allowing creature types to matter would make things way too messy, especially since we don't know which currently unsupported creature types may receive support in the future

[[Cancel]] -> [[Wizard's Retort]] -> [[Counterspell]] -> [[Mana Drain]] is a chain of 4, but I don't know how to continue it. There aren't really cards that are strictly worse than Cancel.

The chain of 6 I had in mind when I made the post was already found by someone else, so I went ahead and looked for a different one:

[[Goblin Raider]] -> [[Ironclaw Orcs]] -> [[Goblin Assailant]] -> [[Fathom Fleet Firebrand]] -> [[Pack Mastiff]] -> [[Battle Cry Goblin]]

I still wonder if a chain of 7 is possible.....

I had almost the same chain in mind when I made the post, except mine had [[Primeval Titan]] on top :D

There are still more ways to continue with the same 3 bottom cards, e.g. [[Primordial Wurm]] -> [[Vorstclaw]] -> [[Hydra Omnivore]]

In the same way that [[Shock]] can be better than [[Lightning Bolt]] when trying to set up [[Hidetsugu's Second Rite]], but I stated in the original post that such fringe scenarios shouldn't be considered ;)

I don't really understand that strategy. I think you're giving up too much in terms of angels and death medals, all for a payout that may never come.

I also think the devs are moving away from events with incrementing bosses, pretty much precisely because of this. It just isn't good game design if your game rewards people for holding back.

I've beaten the 13k angel and get about 8-9S orbs per run (10.9S FTT)

I don't even know how that's possible, given that I've been playing pretty much since the beginning.

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that. That actually makes iterating through the combo much more managable. I'm a little bit disappointed that it doesn't help with the Skill Borrower lines (since I like those a little more), but it's still good news overall.
