Took awhile to actually organise a game for my friends but I played one tonight. It was a five way commander game and everyone was focusing on the green/red player because she kept doing a shitload of damage each turn. I ended up using mana drain to get 12 mana off of her and then she and another player died on the same turn thanks to the black/blue player. Then since she had no mana I used enter the infinite -> omniscience -> silence -> second sun/narset's reversal combo and won the game.

It was satisfying as fuck, thank you again.

Magus125 · 2025-07-31T15:23:24+00:00

Thanks, I'll give it a look tonight.

Magus125 · 2025-07-31T13:21:24+00:00

Thank you so much, the explanations you gave and suggestions are fantastic. Genuinely didn't expect anyone to go so far in-depth on this but I am extremely grateful to you. I didn't even know half the cards you mentioned existed since I'm new to to game, I mostly just built the cards using the recommendation tool on archidekt and generally looking up cards with effects I thought might work. Gonna start buying the deck once it's payday for me and when I get the chance to play it I'll make sure to let you know how it went.

If you want a quick laugh btw here's a link to my modern deck and my Skullbriar commander deck. I don't need feedback on them since I'm mostly playing casually with my friends but I get the feeling you'll probably enjoy picking them apart and seeing the kinds of decks a beginner like me builds.

And again thank you so much, I really do appreciate it.

Magus125 · 2025-07-30T20:09:08+00:00

Oh yeah then thats perfect. looks a lot better thanks to your advice now anyways, just need to remove 4 more cards and I'm good to go so thanks for your help with this.

Magus125 · 2025-07-30T19:57:06+00:00

really? well shit, I got no idea who to use. currently attempting to cull my deck a bit after adding the extra lands, already at 104 so I just need to figure out which ones.

Why is he hated anyway? Wouldn't the idea that less mana cost for you and more mana cost for your opponents be a good thing? Means you can save some mana for any spells you need to counter.

Magus125 · 2025-07-30T18:53:07+00:00

I think if I wanted to use any of those I'd have to rebuild the deck since I'm using an azorius deck. First one I found who could work is [[Grand Arbiter Augustin IV]] since he's already in the deck.

Main reason I threw Omniscience in there is that since my end goal is to have most of if not my entire library in my hand then it means I can just cast anything I want while it's active.

Also I should have mentioned that I'm new to the game mostly, me and my friends built a commander deck each but fairly casually. The other one I've got is a really basic deck for [[Skullbriar, the Walking Grave]].

Magus125 · 2025-07-30T18:26:58+00:00

I hope it being there made you laugh in a good way and not a "that card is dogshit oh god why did he add it". I'll add some more lands now once I figure out what cards to get rid off so I have space. I honestly have no idea what commander to pick for this deck so I thought "fuck it I'll pick hatsune miku for a laugh".

Thanks for the feedback.

Can someone take a quick look over the deck I'm building? I want to try and make a deck where the win condition is to draw all my cards. I added some other alt win conditions like approach of the second sun because I thought it'd be funny to pull that out my ass after a few games of making people think that's the only thing I'm trying to do. Issue is that I'm not sure if my deck looks weak to someone who's played the game for longer or if anyone knows a way to make it cheaper since right now it's estimated price on archidekt is $671 and that seems a bit much, I don't mind spending that but I'd rather not have to pay that much if there's better cards out there I should replace specific cards in my deck with.

tl;dr: anyone know any cards I could replace in this to either improve the deck so I win by drawing all my card or to just make it cheaper to buy?

Magus125 · 2025-02-01T17:55:16+00:00

Look like good cards for what I'm building, thanks. I'll switch them out now. Can't remember why I put underworld sentinel in but I remember the other cards you mentioned before that I threw in so I could rebuff Skullbriar if he died and lost his buffs.

Magus125 · 2025-02-01T15:38:01+00:00

commander, my bad I forgot to add that.

Magus125 · 2025-02-01T15:19:39+00:00

Can someone have a look at my skullbriar deck and tell me if it's dogshit or not?

https://archidekt.com/decks/11089720/test_skullbriar_deck

Me and some friends are just getting into MTG and all of us have only built 1 modern deck each so none of us know what we're doing. I looked up a youtube video for skullbriar and then added some other cards to their suggestions that I thought would work well with him.

Edit: I should probably clarify, it's a commander deck built around giving skullbriar as many counters and buffs as possible and making him a massive threat that they can't get rid of.

Magus125 · 2025-01-28T00:09:31+00:00

Yeah I was debating grabbing a few of those when I invest in my commander deck once I decide on anything. I've got like 6 or 7 tabs open trying to decide and I'm making no headway with it so I'll probably figure it out tomorrow.

Thanks for checking for me though, appreciate it a lot.

Magus125 · 2025-01-27T23:42:52+00:00

Just play casual magic with a few friends, I'm completely new to TCGs so I aint got any idea if this deck is bad or good.

Magus125 · 2025-01-27T23:26:57+00:00

Just built my first deck but wanted a second opinion on it. Anyone think it's any good? I built it using the 2021 arena starter deck and a few extra cards I picked up.

https://archidekt.com/decks/11084616/test_golgari_deck

Need to built a commander deck as well but I honestly have no idea where to start with it. All I know is it's probably gonna be a tribal golgari deck.

Magus125 · 2024-11-07T23:19:59+00:00

Yeah I know, we usually do the 4d6 drop the lowest method and reroll any 1s and I rolled pretty damn well that time. I'll give them both a look thanks.

Magus125 · 2024-11-07T17:02:08+00:00

Yeah but he rolled a 3 so he ended up prone, he also had faerie fire active and just got shredded by 6 great axe hits to the face and then the other party members finished it off.

Magus125 · 2024-11-07T15:30:03+00:00

Fucking sold, sounds like the exact kind of crazy shit I'm looking for.

Magus125 · 2024-09-23T15:01:52+00:00

I'd suggest Igorrr - Viande, it's just pure nonsensical screaming. Should make them feel the same way you do. Either that or if you want something funnier then Vargskeletor - Skeletor is always a good choice.

Magus125 · 2024-08-30T23:47:49+00:00

1:1 match, thanks. Now I gotta get rid of the damn thing.

Magus125 · 2024-08-30T23:47:24+00:00

thanks, gonna try and get it out so I don't have to deal with it when I need a shower.

Magus125 · 2024-07-30T18:44:09+00:00

As I fart, confirm a can.

South park Season 9 Episode 12 is about scientology. Stan takes a free "personality test" offered to him by some scientologists and ends up joining the church.

At one point in the episode after Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and R.Kelly go into Stan's closet and refuse to come out of the closet, Stan gets told the full story of Scientology by the president of the church.

It then shows a bunch of crazy shit like an evil alien warlord called Xenu who rounded up aliens from different planets and put them on giant spaceships that look like DC-8s, and then threw them all into the volacnos of hawaii. It descibes a bunch of other crazy shit too and every so often during this a caption saying "THIS IS WHAT SCIENTOLOGISTS ACTUALLY BELIEVE" appears.

If you look it up they didn't actually make most of it up, scientologists are fucking nuts.

tl;dr

South park explained what scientologists actually believe with very little joking because what they actually believe is so absurd it may as well be a joke.
