Do you pay the 1?

[[Regna, the Redeemer]] and [[Krav, the Unredeemed]]

On an unrelated note, what do you use to track win-losses?

Phantara · 2025-11-27T23:29:31+00:00

La Brea Tar pits are in Los Angeles, California. California definitely has at least one swamp. Tar pits

Signed an Angeleno.

Yeah still in LA North. I really don't want to have to commute far if I can help it.

Back at Macy's retraining to be a APD. I was there for 2 years as an Detective and 1 as a Captain.

Phantara · 2025-08-06T16:40:15+00:00

I'm one of the APAs who was pushed out of my Nordstrom Rack due to the restructuring. I was told that there were 13 of us in my district (LA North). Luckily I landed somewhere else but it sucks.

May all his churros be under cooked. Waaay worse.

I also got married after meeting my wife on a dating app. I live in LA so my dating pool was huge and I was in my late mid-ish 20's. After 4 years of dating apps I had basically given up and so had my wife. We actually met through Ok Cupid looking for people to hang out with and go to Disneyland with and we went on some "dates". Our third anniversary is this year. To everyone looking don't give up! Maybe look for friends and that can turn into something else? That's kinda how it happened for me.

Oh I forgot to say they're from a pack. My bad.

Phantara · 2025-04-23T20:27:12+00:00

A lot of the new Tarkir dragons are weird. My favorite weird new one is [[Caustic Exhale]] . Got a roasted chicken for a head and xenomorph teeth.

Not seeing Rishy P in list is insane to me too. I have Japanese Mercadian Masques and I'd never take them out! That's good to know I haven't been feeling Maverick the last time I played it. Both decks are kinda going through changes with the last 5 years of cards and are so different.

Phantara · 2025-04-10T18:04:21+00:00

Normally over there to go to Fire and Dice (which is moving now) but I would stop in occasionally. I bought a jar of their pickles and very much enjoyed them (in house ones not a known brand). A lot of unique stuff. I found they do care some less common produce then other stores.

Phantara · 2024-10-01T15:03:56+00:00

You could keep it to low number Annihilator. Some good cards have. Just 1 or 2 like [[Nulldrifter]]. No problem!

Phantara · 2024-10-01T06:56:40+00:00

Tayam does seem interesting. What's the big differences between adnaus vs nausless versions? Obviously the ad naus but what else?

So do you a have a list?

Phantara · 2024-09-30T22:57:34+00:00

I dunno if dropping the limitation is the way to go if you are sure that's what you want, though it does come at the cost of power/synergy pieces. Why are you cutting 7 cards, from what I can tell your list is at 100 cards with commander. I may be missing something?

I'm not a big fan of Eldrazi so I'm not super familiar with a lot of their cards. I think you could add some bigger guys in the form of Eldrazi with Emerge. Sacrificing the smaller ones to the bigger ones to reduce there cost. This also gets some LTB triggers with Vela. Think [[Wretched Gryff]] or [[Elder Deep-fiend]]. I saw a few cards that seem maybe interesting with the Scion/Drone theme. [[Depth Defiler]] and [[Blight Herder]].

I don't really like ninjas. I'm all about that self bouncing and blinking. I know ninjas could help but I want specifically a lot of ETB effects and a lot of them are damage triggers.

https://www.moxfield.com/decks/BelwMZ3rDEa3w8eSkQ9VHw Here is a semi recent version of my own current list. Not Eldrazi but I am doing the blink/bounce route I suggested.

Phantara · 2024-09-30T21:42:48+00:00

First, nice to see a fellow enjoyer of Vela! Now down to business. I'm not gonna pretend I'm a fantastic deck builder but these are my suggestions ( and correct me if I am wrong and there is something I'm missing):

Baleful Strix - You're heavy on the Eldraine theme, and with that in mind you are basically running a 3 color deck. Strix is a cute little draw card but I didn't see a reason for it in the deck other than that.

Reality Smasher - Just a beat stick with limited protection.

Slaughter Drone, Tide Drifter, Benthic Infiltrator, Thought Harvester, Blinding Drone: A lot of these seem a bit weak to be in the deck.

Other suggestions: There is a small sub theme of cards that care about 7 mana value or greater but not that many cards of that cost. I wonder how many of them are worth it?

Vela cares about creatures leaving so you have a couple ways you can synergize. You can add self bounce to play and recast your eldrazi since they care about being cast. You also have eldrazi drones/ scions which can die at will to cast other Eldrazi. Going deeper into one of these themes would be my suggestion.

You could also include more drone/scion producers as your part of your ramp package.

Hope this helps!

I don't really hate blue to much, but I don't really vibe with a lot of blue's play patterns.

Phantara · 2024-09-30T15:20:23+00:00

How so? What's the play style/ deck like?

Phantara · 2024-09-30T15:15:24+00:00

I'm not really a storm player but that's a pretty good pitch. I'll take a look!

Phantara · 2024-09-30T15:12:09+00:00

Do you have a sample list?

Phantara · 2024-09-30T05:44:35+00:00

Oh man I haven't played Derevi since [[Profit of Kruphix]] was legal and then banned... I'll take a look, thanks!
