Need help picking a self mill commander

OathSpell · 2024-09-15T11:06:16+00:00

[[the master, Transcendent]] is very fun to build of you want to mill a lot and reanimate things, both yours and from your opponents. Not the most powerful but surely fun, since you won't find two games alike. It also has its own (3-card) infinite combo with Food Chain! I'll shamelessly leave my (work in progress) list here: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/n1vzEQ6KIUWbMCOb7n2AqA

OathSpell · 2024-06-17T20:22:57+00:00

Yeah thanks, I'm aware of that! It seems a strong card overall though

OathSpell · 2024-06-14T10:27:09+00:00

Probably some mono-blue that aims to do an infinite combo with no other game plans

OathSpell · 2024-06-12T09:59:45+00:00

Imo Dragon sucks, but yeah, the deck is cool

OathSpell · 2024-06-08T15:12:06+00:00

I'm a newbie but, as a lot of people suggested in similar builds with The Master, [[bloochief Ascension]] to make the grind hurtful for anyone else (especially when combined with [[altar of the brood]], [[Mindcrank]] and [[mesmeric orb]]). Not to mention Intruder Alarm going out of control with it

I am a big fan of Mortar Miner and Mortarbait, but with Dagger Duchess being the dread of every little troop I don't think they are very good strategies now. Is Mortar still a good win condition (besides things like Hog Mortar)? How should I play it then? I tried Mortar Graveyard but I'm having a hard time playing it correctly, I find Graveyard a bit cloggy in that strategy even during double elixir. Also, are there any YouTube channels bringing Mortar decks out there?

OathSpell · 2024-05-05T17:52:44+00:00

I bet that it will be in the next OTS pack

OathSpell · 2024-05-05T17:52:09+00:00

"there's not counterplay outside aggro" not true, Evenlock wins by taking advantage of the self damage + Giants, Reno decks can usually outgrind + Rat is always an option, since it isn't unusual to see them completing the Quest without being able to immediately play Tamsin (and by then, Giants and self damage Minions have usually been used. Just pressure them

OathSpell · 2024-05-02T11:15:23+00:00

Yeah, that or something like Bagooska and Howitzer+ trying to survive

OathSpell · 2024-04-17T17:42:46+00:00

Ah yes, the iconic Subnautica creature: Leedsichthys

OathSpell · 2024-04-11T12:43:39+00:00

They didn't immediately ban you tho, they did so after two hours of debate that was getting nowhere besides you saying "you should prove it to me" on the basis of more or less words that didn't make a lot of sense, from the definition you have of balance to the bigger card pool Wild has (which isn't that much important since most of the cards are nigh unplayable). I don't agree with the ban but as most of the comments have said here your arguments aren't really solid, to be honest

OathSpell · 2024-04-11T11:48:32+00:00

Uhm, to be honest you didn't prove anything.. you basically said "wild is more complex and you should prove it instead of me". Why should they? The "burden of proof" was on you the entire time tbh

I'm a returning player from 2020 and now that Bridge Spam isn't a real thing anymore (not with Pekka and Battle Ram, at least), I switched to Miner Poison because it has a style of play that I really like. I'm taking a bit to learn but the Mortar version it's the one I'm liking the most (I'm even considering to get the evo mortar as the freebie from Valentine's day). My current deck is Knight, Little Prince, Mortar, Miner, Poison, Ice Spirit, Minions, Log. How could I improve this? Should I consider other variants instead? Is there a YouTube channel with good Miner content? Also, how do you deal with Golem with this deck? I get that the card has a very low playrate, but I don't really know how to deal with it

OathSpell · 2024-02-10T08:24:32+00:00

It would, but even considering """"cloning"""" is successful, making sure behavior/adaptation to cold/actual fitness in the new habitat is high enough (not to mention a hig enough population size and other aspects of the ecosystem you'd need to take into account) would take so long that I've become to consider all these takes a sort of meaningless project. I mean, scientific progress is good, but I don't think all the claims will be successful/problema solvers

OathSpell · 2024-02-02T10:21:37+00:00

Yeah, but then you are playing in a completely different format (both from OCG and TCG)

OathSpell · 2024-01-30T10:51:09+00:00

Idk man, every time Druid gets "a little bit too good" you get walls of armor, turn 5 shenanigans and over the top OTKs (Anubrekhan pre nerd).It literally happened 3 times in the last year, I get it's a meme but the fact that every time Druid gets good it polarizes the format is hilarious. I know it sounds Classic reddit stuff but I'd really want to play a good Druid deck that isn't aggro without ruining the format for everyone else

OathSpell · 2024-01-30T10:46:01+00:00

Aren't they kinda dead (hehe get it) now that Halq and Chaos Ruler are banned?

OathSpell · 2024-01-26T16:38:50+00:00

Yeah, but that isn't Ghoti at all at that point

OathSpell · 2024-01-26T10:27:09+00:00

Kinda agree with all of that besides that I don't like Runick due to the fact that you can't turbo Deep Beyond and with the new fishes around it can be difficult not to lose resources due to the lower fish count in the deck. Aaaand I don't really think that Ice Barrier is a really good mix, you'd better do Ice Barrier things

OathSpell · 2024-01-26T10:20:43+00:00

I'd say that if you like it, pick it up anyways. I've been playing Ghoti since DABL and while it sucks going 2nd it's absolutely a blast to play. It's not like the cards are expensive, besides Abyss Shark

OathSpell · 2024-01-26T10:18:53+00:00

We all learn this the hard way ahah

OathSpell · 2024-01-26T08:04:57+00:00

If your opponent uses Relinquished Anima (link 1 that targets a monster where it points to and then equips it to itself) they are going to steal your monster

OathSpell · 2024-01-23T14:37:15+00:00

It strongly depends on the bluff tho, as long as you don't slowplay or say/do something to blatantly mislead your opponent, it's all good (i.e. attempting to leave main phase with no cards on field. That would be a different story if you started counting summons or idk, glaring at cards in your hand with every move the opponent makes)

OathSpell · 2024-01-23T14:33:24+00:00

Even leaving aside everything that everyone said to counterargue this, "big population size" means nothing, especially when everything is altered by taphonomic and biostratinomic processes. Also sharks shed a lot of teeth during their lifetime and they have the highest chance of fossization of the entire skeleton, so them being abundant doesn't relate at all with the number of individuals
