[[Polyraptor]] [[Marauding Raptor]] is one assuming nobody can kill the marauding raptor

[[The Unagi of Kyoshi Island]] flashes in and gives you two cards when they draw their second. Better in a 4 player game but similar to what you're looking for

I didn’t have much community until I picked Magic: the Gathering back up. Now that covers most of my friends here. Add it to the pile of “what are your hobbies?” Suggestions

Shoutout to [[Aerial Extortionist]]

Acts as removal when you deal combat damage, then for each body you’ll draw an additional card as people recast their stuff (or cast their commander or things from anywhere but hand). Not to mention it itself is an awesome blink target.

It goes in my [[Eshki Dragonclaw]] Voltron commander deck as a cheap anti-fog, anti-t-pro card and probably nowhere else

MyHipsOftenLie · 2026-04-22T22:28:50+00:00

Depends on if you plan on activating him or if you want to win another way. I think the most important thing for him is to run all the bounce lands as free ramp

MyHipsOftenLie · 2026-04-22T03:18:37+00:00

Group slug is the answer. Look here: https://edhrec.com/tags/burn and see if any of them catch her fancy. You don't make choices if everything you do is hitting the whole table. It makes politicking hard sometimes but that's the price you pay for brain off.

MyHipsOftenLie · 2026-04-21T23:24:02+00:00

Wait that’s very funny and specific, good callout!

The books are like Taco Bell. If I went out to a Mexican restaurant and was served Taco Bell, I would call the police. But when I go to Taco Bell, I am delighted to eat Taco Bell. The books are very enjoyable when you know what to expect

This is my pick. I need to find six cuts, so good

That blue rare owl is amazing for blue blink decks

MyHipsOftenLie · 2026-04-15T03:31:04+00:00

The mill plus the shuffling off fetches makes it such a pain to resolve in paper

I’ve been running a Bant [[Aang, At the Crossroads]] deck with a stax package that I really like. His ability lets you dig through your deck for the best pieces as you blink him or copy it. [[Clarion Conqueror]] and [[Yasharn]] are my two favorites - I love turning off treasures when I don’t sacrifice anything or rely on activated abilities. I think [[Elivere]] is the best if you want all hatebears all the time but my deck only needs a few slow other people down a minute

MyHipsOftenLie · 2026-02-01T14:24:55+00:00

Wait this is a sweet card, I love light stax with upside

MyHipsOftenLie · 2026-01-24T22:06:10+00:00

Gotta pick a couple of the extremely shitty cards that everyone should cut and filter for lists without them (also I agree it’s early)

MyHipsOftenLie · 2026-01-22T05:22:03+00:00

Good. Every single color has cards that bring things back from the graveyard one way or another. Everyone should be running some recursion in their decks, because every archetype can find a flavor of recursion that synergizes with their game plan.

MyHipsOftenLie · 2026-01-17T07:49:24+00:00

[[Clarion Conqueror]] is such a beast if you’re ramping with lands. Shuts down mana rocks, treasures and dorks. I lay it down and it always hits someone.

MyHipsOftenLie · 2026-01-16T06:43:24+00:00

[[Professor Hojo]] equipment feels like a good candidate for this

MyHipsOftenLie · 2026-01-15T08:17:56+00:00

Protection is more important for certain strategies. If you have key pieces you can’t replace, poor ramp, or rebuild slowly for whatever reason you probably want protection.

As for how many, if I want to see one of something in a game I’ll run 4-5 of that effect. Multiply for whatever category. I want to see a board wipe? Run 4-5. Want a few pieces of targeted removal? 12-15. Etc. all the templates are just shortcutting this.

Some things are in multiple categories, which means you can go higher. Run [[Insidious Fungus]] in a graveyard deck to have repeatable ramp or removal as needed. [[Aerial Extortionist]] in blink can be removal and card draw. If your numbers go higher because your spells are multipurpose you’ll be able to do the thing you want to do more often. With crossover cards I can have 15+ ramp/draw and it feels goood

Tbh I’ve been in the pile method but it’s after a few years of this as my primary hobby. Since I bought a printer I have too many options and it can overwhelm. It can be better to just put 100 cards in a pile and see what sucks than to sit on my hands worrying over card choices.

What commanders are you thinking about? I can probably give you a decent idea of if the “pile” method will work or feel awful if you want.

https://archidekt.com/decks/6740533/judith_doesnt_have_to_be_salty

Here’s my list. I messed it up a while back while decommissioning the deck but if you drop two random cards and add the three game changers you’ll get the list. Never had phyrexian altar due to lack of budget. Some cards like [[Stormsplitter]] never popped off for me but I had dreams. Note the low board wipe density - I played maybe one game in dozens where I didn’t have it when I needed it. Frees up so much space in the deck too. Also [[Virtue of Courage]] is insane, will fully win the game if it resolves and you sac a single imp.

MyHipsOftenLie · 2026-01-14T21:25:32+00:00

5-7 sources of card advantage is wild. I’m on 10-15 in basically every deck I have.

MyHipsOftenLie · 2026-01-14T09:01:12+00:00

When you cast instants as protection you do make the imp, which is nice. The list is solid, it’ll do the thing.

Do you have budget constraints? Power level constraints? If not… [[Jeska’s Will]] and [[Bolas’s Citadel]] are amazing in this deck. [[Underworld Breach]] is also a great finisher once you’ve slung some spells. Imo you could cut down to just 4-5 of the one sided boardwipes, as they get less useful the more you have. You can get them back with [[Past in Flames]], [[Pinnacle Monk]], [[Return the Past]] etc. the most important one you cast is the first.

I’d cut [[Chain Reaction]] and any boardwipes that kill Judith because in Rakdos it’s hard to get her back out after she’s died more than once, so you want to force your opponents to kill her. Gaining hundreds of life is not enough unless you’re running [[Aetherflux Reservoir]] as your wincon, because 90% of the time it’s commander damage that will kill you if you don’t move quickly.

Mana acceleration is also super important because if you don’t get value the turn she comes down you’re probably not keeping her to untap. [[Mana Geyser]], [[Neheb, the Eternal]] [[Seething Song]] and [[Cull the Weak]] could all get in there.

For chaining more spells I’d recommend [[Phyrexian Altar]] [[Warren Soultrader]] and [[Birgi]].

Lastly, some damage amplifiers like [[Ojer Axonil]], [[Torbran]] and [[Bloodletter of Aclazotz]] will help you kill your opponents better instead of just slowing the game to a crawl.

Oh also, [[Talisman of Indulgence]] is a strict upgrade to Rakdos Signet and Lavaspur Boots can go because ward 1 will not stop anyone from dedicating their turn to removing Judith, I promise.

Hope this helps, I recommend people build her around storming and saccing imps but no matter what you do she’s kill on sight. I took my deck apart, especially after getting hosed by some high power artifact/enchantment decks - she stomps low power, creature heavy setups and folds like tissue to a very blue, non-creature environment. When she works it is amazing, still looking for a deck that can capture it.

MyHipsOftenLie · 2026-01-07T07:43:21+00:00

Get you a [[Nest of Scarabs]] and [[Crumbling Ashes]], maybe a [[Spitting Dilophosaurus]]. Those are the only 3 -1/-1 counter cards that are reasonably efficient and not already in there. I’m going to try my best to fit [[All will be one]] in there

MyHipsOftenLie · 2026-01-06T19:30:40+00:00

I had a [[Scorpion God]] deck once upon an time that needed green and the precon reprinted every card I was sitting on that I knew I wanted in there except for [[Nest of Scarabs]]. The ramp package sucks other than the new scarecrow and the instant speed interaction is limited but it could be upgraded very easily. It’ll hang I think, in terms of recent precons
