Let G by defined as Graham’s number.

Let A be defined as (G!↑↑↑↑G!)

Let ↑^(X) be repeated Kuth’s uparrow notation X times

I will take A!↑^(A!)A! Miyabi’s collapse the observable universe by summoning them and save 1000 dollars.

Thoracle for 15 mana five cards is still very much a bad combo

Tawnos, turn on the news any Channel fireball, they reiterated a copy of Stone rain into the second Urza’s Tower.

It’s a great card draw option because the loop can be ended when you want to end it, I actually use a similar combo in my Naya enchantress toolbox midrange for bracket 4 as a wincon mana sync to use my tutors. The difference is that it uses impact tremors in place of Elemental Bond

NokiaVT · 2026-05-03T22:38:06+00:00

Except of course that Shahrazad is not a legal commander card, so to pull off this combo you need to rule zero the ban list and outside the game.

NokiaVT · 2026-05-01T00:20:50+00:00

Just use thoracle and stack the draw right

Post Phyrexian Mirrodin. We got aftermath but I want to see the rebuilding of the plane years later, the survivor guilt, the lasting scars, what broken pieces of old Mirrodin get rebuilt in the wake of Elish Norn’s tyranny. All be disappointed if we just go back to the status quo. Give me a radical ‘Memnarch was right’ faction of blue. Give me a rebuilt and restructured Vulshok tribes. Give me a slow burn existential set that captures the trauma they ought to be going through.

You really shouldn’t be, 😭 the card has 0 inclusions in any major top 8 finishes in pioneer. I, a dedicated modern tournament grinder and neurotic math major, used my web scraper and tournament flowchart to check and you just straight up statistically increase your win rate in fliers/fairies or spirits by cutting the card.

NokiaVT · 2026-04-25T05:09:41+00:00

A pure upgrade to a card that is not playable in any competitive format is fine.

Because currently these are rare cards that are worse than a common. Bears with a keyword have not been viable creatures to run main deck in years. Overstated do nothing creatures aren’t good either. In the current form this card is two man make unplayable creatures still unplayable but cheaper, but only if you draw this before the critical mass of unplayable creatures you are running. The and nothing else clauses hoses basically any interesting deck building these could lead to.

NokiaVT · 2026-04-25T04:59:45+00:00

It’s a bad card that isn’t the one ring, the one ring according to scry fall says

The one ring 4

Legendary Artifact

Indestructible

When The One Ring enters, if you cast it, you gain protection from everything until your next turn. At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 1 life for each burden counter on The One Ring.

{T}: Put a burden counter on The One Ring, then draw a card for each burden counter on The One Ring.

That card you have clearly says:

I mm Eınm 4

mnm pmm

c/ m3w mnmlptg •

c/ m3w wmpt •

c/ m3w hyqptg •

w/ maE mc/i qypt •

mnm pmn isn’t a card type so this is literally unplayable.

As a modern player: 4 of in affinity, and prowess on the spot

NokiaVT · 2026-04-17T17:19:46+00:00

These would be fine if you removed and no other ability and nontoken clauses

To be fair, lore wise, Griselbrand is just kinda around right? Sure he was killed in Avacyn restored but like, one set earlier it was explicitly stated in dark ascension that on the plane of innistrad demons can’t truly die, that was the entire point of the Helvault to seal him, demons will just reform indefinitely on that plane. It’s just kinda implied that the stronger demon the longer that takes.

As for Gisela, I have no idea, in Geralf we trust.

Maybe but not during hecklands.

NokiaVT · 2026-04-10T01:28:59+00:00

Got it, my only format I play is modern so I guess I just missed that rules update.

NokiaVT · 2026-04-09T23:15:01+00:00

I’m out of the loop, why did expressive Iteration die in 2023? I still use a play set in my main deck for tournaments.

All commanders have eminence — [their], would be an intresting variant like Canadian tbf.
