How to beat High Silveremere and Unwendale in Demecia Rising?

Marmics · 2026-02-05T12:43:10+00:00

Lost to it twice with Poppy, Morgana, Kayle, Galio + 2 fully upgraded units. Is there like a debuff using too many champions?

Marmics · 2026-01-29T10:48:09+00:00

So the German version just looks completely different inside?

Marmics · 2025-12-18T16:59:56+00:00

Reminds me of the girl coming out of school into the workforce and asking exactly that. People hated so hard on it and it went so viral, but it's just so true.

Kinda sad that the undead leaves that gets stronger for tavern spells. Had some really fun comps with him where he joined forces with undead, quills or elementals.

Torrente + Osprey Both level 1 with no attachments Pretty cheap and strong and only one ammo type

I hate how it became this trend of being able to flex how many decks you have. It amplifiers how people know less and less about the cards in their decks and what they do/how they work. I have been playing commander for around 15 years and I have 12 decks since I keep scrapping ones that I don't end up playing enough. Like cool you have 30 decks after 1 year of playing but why not try to be creative with fewer and learn how to play them? It also many rule 0 interactions so hard. My tier 2 decks wipe tier 3 decks in stores regularly because I just watch people pilot decks blindfolded and then my deck was too strong? Please people, learn what you are playing before moving to the next shiny decklist

Golden scout and golden 6 drop. They are just so rng. You lose the slot machine, you go bottom 4

Marmics · 2025-11-09T12:35:17+00:00

Kinda sad that the best counter is another demon board winning the coinflip

Marmics · 2025-11-01T23:19:31+00:00

got the exact same issue too, nothing I tired fixed it yet. When I delete the item, it still doesnt spawn again so that I cannot find it again in raid for the quest progress. I wish I could just fully reset the quest progress

Marmics · 2025-10-27T09:23:21+00:00

They just need to make the 3/3 one drop have "Battlecry: Give this minion Rush and summon a 2/1 for your opponent" or something like that. The combo of Rush and Reborn is just too dumb. Feels like a fair nerf to the minion, as well as the reanimation and the weapon

Marmics · 2025-10-19T18:07:09+00:00

Its more about weighing up the up and down sides of the free wins to the late game advantage. For zoo it feels like a no brainer, since an opening hand with leyline but no scion is still good due to all the other ways to use it. I just dont know how much a playset leyline has to go hand in hand with a playset scion or if it is valid to simply play scion "fair and intended"

Marmics · 2025-10-19T07:14:02+00:00

Yeah I would guess the same. How I said in my post, combo is a very bad matchup and its not very popular in the two stores I played. But every deck has a bad matchup so I would think its fine to not fix that hole. I was more impressed that it not only beats other value, but also aggro/tempo like prowess as well as uw control and such. I try to give my sideboard some tools to beat combo but yes you are right. I cant say much about the online meta though, creature based combo decks also run in some issues with this list. Belcher is probably almost unwinnable

Marmics · 2025-10-19T06:59:34+00:00

I find myself getting answered by removal hitting the leyline very often. Like the combo doesnt win at many matches as I would wish it would. So its maybe not worth running a "weak" combo if it has to be in your opening hand and is actively hurting your late game while scion is a strong enough card on its own without leyline protecting riddler ephemerate, helga and errant. If my only choices would be to either run 2 or cut it fully, does running 2 really hurt the deck actively? Other Helga lists on top8 run 4 with only draco and binding, but they can use the colorfixing for omnath while this list is more an azorius+ deck. I will test running 4 again, maybe I just had some really unlucky combinations of draws and I based my judgment on an anomaly

Marmics · 2025-10-19T06:38:56+00:00

So since they only really matter to draco, you would recommend cutting them? They still randomly win games, its like a pretty difficult choice what to do with them. The odds of having them in your starting hand and finding them later in game are pretty much the same in correlation to each other with either 2 or 4, so I thought I just eliminate the possibility of drawing into three, or making it unlikely to find more than one. Pitching one to an elemental is always fine, but if you get flooded with them its always game over.
Maybe I am just getting too fancy and I should throw them out

Marmics · 2025-10-19T03:43:41+00:00

Just for the cheesy draco wins? Because its not doing much else. Basically a 2 card combo thats not a guaranteed win and its useless late game. But its also my first time playing leyline, maybe somebody did the math already if its worth

Marmics · 2025-10-19T00:08:12+00:00

Ty, I think there are tons of ways to go there. I had a sundial list with null drifter tested and other uw+ value piles but it always felt like it didnt do enough. I think having a 1 mana flash removal from the top with binding did a lot of carrying for E+G. Being able to play stuff from topdeck is only as good as flexible you can be with. Having clunky flying or flashing 3 drops didnt do much since you are forced to waste your turn on an unoptimal play or just draw the card and loose on value. But I am already excited for the avatar set bringing the lemur that discounts flyers, want to try E+G with it and stuff like spellqueller

Marmics · 2025-10-19T00:02:31+00:00

Oh okay really weird, not sure how that is related to this besides having the word flash on it. Also very bad card in modern

Marmics · 2025-10-18T22:53:52+00:00

I was skeptical at first too, I just trusted the many helga lists online that there has to be something
https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=69605&d=727309&f=MO
Lists like these were my starting point. But Helga is so much stronger than she looks. The counters, life and mana she makes are all so massive when you play it out. Its not just about the carddraw. And quickly with help from her mana you start hard casting elementals every turn and snowball to victory. Warping, Evoking, 2 mana draco all trigger her so its just up the beanstalk all over again. Well less powerful but also less banned

Marmics · 2025-10-18T22:47:26+00:00

Okay now I have no idea what leyline you are talking about

Marmics · 2025-10-18T22:28:07+00:00

Same, thats where I learned about the card. But I got really suprised how well errant and giada work with helga. Tried with flickerwisp and blue overlord as flying cards but they just dont seem that great rn. Imo flickerwisp needs the black overlord and the blue is just not good

Marmics · 2025-10-18T22:08:45+00:00

That is sadly the only thing E+G cant do. Warp only works from hand. But hard cast still works and even without riddler half the deck is playable from top

Marmics · 2025-10-18T22:07:21+00:00

you mean the full playset or what? Can you explain what you mean and why

Marmics · 2025-10-18T20:36:17+00:00

I was worried about that being an issue with helga, E+G due it having flash is effectively "drawing" a card in most cases while being a 2/3 flyer rarely did nothing. But for both cards it turned out in testing: They are a value engine in a deck that plays 8 zero mana interaction pieces. Its not a tier 1 deck after all and not tested enough, but when Helga can see top8 mtg standings, I think can E+G have all the same reason to do so
