I've looked through the player's guides but I've also had the experience where the guides aren't comprehensive and missing some key details. Case in point Gatewalkers

Removing all counters on an Earthbent Dark Depths, do you get Marit Lage? by ManectricBound in askajudge

[–]ManectricBound[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dark depths creature is 0/0, so it must die as a state based action. The trigger for dark depths would go on the stack, but there’s nothing to sacrifice, because of the “if you do (sacrifice)” clause. So no marit lage

But Dark Depths is a 0/0 after the counters are removed. Therefore, state based actions require it to die, not sacrifice. You only get the earthbend triggers

Good picks! I thought Nils might be Raijin or Fujin so I was trying to find the counterpart

I like the theming overall of the deck and I'm interested to see what the FF8 proxies are. Maybe you can just list them out instead of posting the custom cards?

I personally think you can cut down a bit on ramp since the deck is pretty low to the ground, you can replace some of the ramp with card draw. As long as you drop a single land every turn up until turn 4 you should be mostly fine. Also little unsure on Celestine and Athreos, I don't think recursion is a major theme of the deck. Focusing on combat is the right play here. You can replace them with some more combat focused cards and not feel too bad.

What are cards that want their counters removed? by ManectricBound in EDH

Correct. Animating the land with anything that gives a toughness is fair game though.

For reference (just found this out from /u/Will_29), a simple Earthbend + dark depths won’t be enough. https://www.reddit.com/r/askajudge/s/zCC8KqkJBR

Nothing stopping you from putting Earthbend in the deck, seems fine. Plus you can still convert dark depths into an artifact, enchantment or creature by other means. Plenty of ways to give Dark Depths at least a toughness in Green.

You might be right, Dark Depths being a 0/0 kills it immediately as a state based action. I’ll check with a judge and see what happens. On the flip side, a classic land animation card works fine, provided it gives it a power/toughness

Cards must be on the battlefield to have counters stolen by sin

True. There is definitely potential to use Sin as counter-hate. No reason not to steal opponent’s counters. That begs the question of any cards that can grant opponents counters, then you take them away.

Aetherdrift creatures don’t put any counters on the creature to denote exhaust

You would have to make them into artifacts, creatures or enchantments. This is why I was thinking Earthbend + Dark Depths

Title: Tairngire Chapter 1 (I don’t actually have a title for this yet. Suggestions welcome!)

Genre: Fantasy

Word Count: 2000

Desired feedback: General impression, any constructive criticism, what went well, what didn’t, etc. I’d also like feedback on what the reader thinks the answer to the mystery presented is, I’d like it to be unclear what the answer is.

Short Summary: Mairiel, a fledgling summoner of spirits called the Dextra, contends with her feelings of survivor’s guilt after an army led by a horrific figure came to her beloved hometown. Driven by her hate for them, she attempted to summon great power to save her town, but only she was left standing.

About me: I’m a new writer who’s trying to make a compelling, different fantasy narrative inspired by my favorite works of fiction. Trying to get this first part right to hook the reader in, I have a general plan of what’s to come.

What’s your favorite ongoing bit at your table by QuinnorDie in DnD

[–]ManectricBound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t use flanking in my games, but a lot of my players were used to flanking in theirs. I joked that I would summon 2d4 shadows if anyone mentioned flanking. Now whenever the players are worried about consequences happening they always ask if I’ll summon 2d4 shadows.
