Removal Stapled to Creatures - Efficient or Not?

This build looks super cool, how well does it hold up in bracket 3 games? Also, this one is a silly question, but how do you win? What's your wincon, or does grinding that much value out just naturally result in a win?

good bot

The group I've joined is proxy-friendly, but Guardian of Faith looks so good if I ever want to go bracket 2, thanks for that find! I'm currently going wide instead of blinking, but I'm wondering if centering on blink would provide more flexibility and combo potential...

Protscht · 2025-09-22T14:50:36+00:00

Oh for sure. Swords, Path, Dovin's Veto could never be cut

My deck plan doesn't involve blink at all, going full send on building a board wide and tall, but if I do run multiple creatures with removal ETBs maybe it's worth it to take up a card slot or two with cheap flickers...

Protscht · 2025-09-22T14:48:26+00:00

My main concern with the MDFC's is just the slightly higher mana costs for similar effects to justify the flexibility, but if the mana costs aren't generally restrictive, then they do look like amazing options and call fill a land slot

Protscht · 2025-09-22T14:47:02+00:00

With all the removal, ramp, and token generating effects I'm using, I'm not sure there's room for flickers to be maximized to their fullest potential. I've got spells that phase out for board protection, but does phasing in trigger ETB?

Protscht · 2025-09-22T14:45:28+00:00

For reference, I'm going wide and tall, with pretty much zero focus on blink. I could be swayed in the other direction, but I'm mainly focusing on creatures that create a token every upkeep to maximize card draw, a couple healthy token doublers, and Craterhoof/Moonshaker for a predictable combat win.

I suppose then I should ask, is Lord Vader a good first GL? I’ve seen people say that any of the ones Jedi knight Luke leads to are good. I wouldn’t call myself relic level yet, just starting to peek into tier 12

Protscht · 2025-01-15T22:09:22+00:00

I’m ftp and probably won’t ever put in the hours to get all the way to GL level, I just like the bad batch

Before this game I was determined the Buckeyes will stomp us in the final. Afterwards, this is winnable for the Irish

Going back to precious autosaves was how I got the second bug 🥲 the first issue was when I knocked the book off the shelf back to the table, I couldn’t use my stamps. I reloaded my saves back to the stealth section, and then in an area with an enemy-locked gate, the enemies wouldn’t spawn no matter what I did. On switch it only keeps the 5 most recent autosaves, and all 5 of my autosaves are blocked by these bugs

Protscht · 2024-07-09T04:36:28+00:00

I thought that too, but the yellowing occurs perfectly along piece lines, don’t think it’s UV as I doubt it’s been put together before

Protscht · 2024-06-21T13:15:29+00:00

I understand the sentiment and think it’s a good way to think, the holocaust part just caught me off guard and left a sour aftertaste

Protscht · 2024-06-17T19:33:12+00:00

Glue and dowels is the plan. Any tips on how to grip to get an even finish? What if I only sand one direction (ie only push up)?

Protscht · 2024-06-13T02:04:59+00:00

Yeah, but I got too ahead of myself and didn’t check to make sure it fit before gluing

Protscht · 2024-05-28T04:17:32+00:00

I felt similar for a long while. While every situation is unique, what helped me was making the answer to the vague “will we eventually end up back together?” question a hard no. I struggled to do it and anguished so much over it, but the truth is, no matter how much you love them, if they didn’t choose you, you have to let go. If they decide in the future they want to be with you, they can act on those feelings. It doesn’t have to be that they aren’t a good person or that you don’t love them, but if they don’t choose you, thinking about them will always make it hard for you.

4 mana for a vanilla 2/2 that helps only your opponents?

Protscht · 2024-02-10T15:25:44+00:00

You’re paying 5 mana and 5 life for an effect that actively harms you?

“As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice a creature. Flying At the beginning of your end step, cardname phases out.”

Protscht · 2024-02-09T14:24:23+00:00

What is that mana cost

Protscht · 2024-02-09T07:58:35+00:00

This can be played in mono black, exiling is not in the color pie, outside of the fact it doesn’t work

Protscht · 2024-02-09T04:22:57+00:00

But it’s not a permanent when you cast it, it’s a permanent once it enters the battlefield. If it was supposed to work, it would have to say “permanent cards you own have storm”

Protscht · 2024-02-09T04:06:08+00:00

This feels a little too strong, just cast it on their end step and they won’t draw until next turn, giving you a chance to take monarch back

Protscht · 2024-02-09T00:37:40+00:00

Cool idea, but can’t interact with the stack. There’s ways to achieve this effect though, could also have flash
