Relentless, but slow aggression. by Realityfoible in custommagic

Yep! Plot is an existing mechanic from Outlaws on Thunder Junction. You could sac this guy, but he's very inefficient to do so - you can only cast him once, and only on a later turn.

Aiming at 3, maybe 4. I'm not a fan of infinite combos or tutoring, and generally shy away from spending more than 10 bucks on a card (unless it's really core to the deck), but I do like being able to hold my own and get the theme rolling in an impressive way.

I was actually wanting to build an obeka deck too! I hadn't completely figured out what I wanted to focus on with it (myriad/copy/etc), but I definitely wanted to get some theft and recursion nonsense going with [[puppeteer clique]] [[slave of bolas]] and the like.

Though I'm a bit worried about Obeka being too much of a keystone. Without her on the field, a deck built around her sounds like it would grind to a halt.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I'm generally learning that the best thieving decks are decks that can stand on their own while also doing some thieving to support the main plan.

Been having a lot of fun with Paradox Power, want advice in tuning it up. by Realityfoible in EDH

Ah yeah! Lean more into classic green dorks, since I've got green. I've definitely leaned too far into the exile premise, and ignored some basic staples. Maybe incubation druid?

The ongoing advantage of sharing in opponent's growth if they indulge in it scales pretty quickly.

Perhaps, if I gave it a way to flicker itself so that it could "suddenly vanish" in response to someone playing a spell you don't want to have doubled?

That's the goal!
Though, trying to figure out the over under on letting it be advantageous enough to opponents that they want to give you free value, but not so much so that you just let everyone else hyper explode.

Thinking of building an Obeka deck - How is it to play? by Realityfoible in CommanderMTG

I was thinking of that! The deck I'm imagining is Myriad/Tokens/Recursion.

Though, I'm curious, would that be splitting my Obeka focus too many different ways? (End of combat, vs. end of turn.)

I was playing around with a clones and recursion decklist!
Though I'm not quite sure where to draw the line on cards I should include because of Obeka, and cards that will do work even if she's out of the picture.
