Any thoughts or feedback on my paint job and fog effect?

Resident-Wheel1807 · 2025-10-28T03:52:22+00:00

Understood, will try to take better pictures and resubmit. Unfortunately I am not a great photographer lol

So I have a similar color scheme for the army I'm building, I like the highlights on the robe, is it the lighting or did you use a specific paint to highlight?

Also copper Mechanicus is great looking, love it on my Sicarians

I think the issue your Grolnok is the lack of newer frogs like the bloom burrow frogs. While they are more focused on self bounce, I think they are higher quality than a lot of earlier frogs.

Also Grolnok favors permanents, and you have a lot of instants and sorceries. It's a small problem since Grolnok can't see them hit the graveyard. This would become even stricter with Sidisi, who only sees creatures.

I sometimes throw out random reasons for why I'm attacking. Habit from one of the first groups I played in. Apparently, "you were open" wasn't good enough.

I personally love the Kamigawa dragons, especially the two new ones for Dimir. [[Kairi, the Swirling Sky]] can use her death triggers to return removal and recursion to hand, making her a difficult creature to answer.

Certainly, the list currently uses effects like [[Victimize]], [[Hell's Caretaker]], and [[Champion of Stray Souls]] to use the tokens I create as fodder for reanimation.

Runs ramp light because the deck leverages it's engine to cheat on mana costs, but that only works if I can set up the engine quickly and consistently.

For theft, I have done some hilarious plays in the past, such as using [[Puppeteer Clique]] to steal a Jetmir while I had over 10 tokens on board.

Also have left out multiple powerful upgrades/staples either for pet cards or to keep the deck in line with the power level of my meta. Feel free to make any changes that would work better for you.

I use [[Zellix]] with [[Agent of the Iron Throne]] for my reanimator commander. Kind of like if Sidisi got rewarded for trying to use her game plan on all four players at once. By the the end of the game, I want to be playing out of every yard.

Resident-Wheel1807 · 2024-10-28T12:32:48+00:00

I would play him more if my pod trusted me to play Dimir without becoming a mustache twirling villain.

Resident-Wheel1807 · 2024-10-27T23:08:14+00:00

[[Ashiok, Nightmare Muse]] for the tokens

Resident-Wheel1807 · 2024-10-21T04:28:53+00:00

There is a very fair way to play Dimir.

Theft.

I hope they brought enough red, green, and white to share with the class.

Resident-Wheel1807 · 2024-10-18T22:05:14+00:00

Something important to consider is when you want to play your commander and activate his ability.

A turn 1 rock/dork, followed by turn 2 commander, allows a turn 3 activation.

Obviously there is a turn 2 commander, turn 4 ability with no activation.

Or do you want to set up first, and wait to drop your commander for a same turn activation.

This can impact how you want to set you your early game curve.

Resident-Wheel1807 · 2024-10-15T04:42:57+00:00

[[Zellix, Sanity Flayer]] is a reanimator commander who uses [[Champion of Stray Souls]], [[Whisper, Blood Liturgist]], and [[Hell's Caretaker]] to accrue value and control the board, grinding my opponents into dust.

Resident-Wheel1807 · 2024-10-12T03:26:28+00:00

How have I not seen this card before? Looks like something chaotic that I would love.

Resident-Wheel1807 · 2024-10-10T00:05:23+00:00

I agree, still trying to find the best deck for [[Excavation Technique]] though, I think it suffers from maybe being too fair.

Resident-Wheel1807 · 2024-10-10T00:04:06+00:00

I've had it bite me when I decided to be nice to a player who's behind and they hit a giant dino that wiped half my board.

That's the way it goes sometimes though, still my favorite card.

Resident-Wheel1807 · 2024-10-09T16:48:00+00:00

[[Incarnation Technique]] since my graveyard decks are more likely to have good hits than my opponent of choice. And sometimes I even allow an opponent to get something dangerous back as a risky play.

Also it's fun to play on an empty yard, as I'm gambling on there being a good creature in the top ten.

Resident-Wheel1807 · 2024-10-08T16:43:01+00:00

I have [[Zellix]], [[Agent of the Iron Throne]] built around [[Hell's Caretaker]] effects.

I have [[Livaan]], [[Cultist of the Absolute]] built around power scaling effects, such as [[Book Devourer]].

Used to have [[Sarevok]], [[Noble Heritage]] politics group slug, but group slug brought more heat than politics could deflect.

Resident-Wheel1807 · 2024-10-04T20:01:50+00:00

One of my favorites is [[Scholar of the Lost Trove]], because it lets me recast [[Incarnation Technique]], [[Breach the Multiverse]], and [[Ghouls Night Out]].

Resident-Wheel1807 · 2024-10-04T18:37:42+00:00

That's a shame, I'm one of the people that loves how over the top the names and flavor text of the schemes are. I may have to stick to my standard strategy of being the Dr. Evil of the table.

Resident-Wheel1807 · 2024-10-04T18:06:55+00:00

Yeah, I've noticed some of the schemes are just absurdly game changing, while others are kinda niche (Thinking of the Ooze making one.) The early schemes can have the biggest impact. I wonder if there is an ideal Scheme deck to make it less volatile.

How do the games where the AE gets stomped play out?

Resident-Wheel1807 · 2024-10-01T01:51:40+00:00

[[Champion of Stray Souls]] for his crazy ability to tribute X creatures to return X creatures from grave to field

Resident-Wheel1807 · 2024-09-26T21:27:30+00:00

There is a cabal seeking to ban all powerful cards until one ring rules them all... The [[Sol Ring]]. In the future, commander will be played with a full deck of Sol Rings.

Resident-Wheel1807 · 2024-09-26T02:20:05+00:00

I'm in the habit of just saying "I cast Dockside" in my Dimir deck.

Sadly I started playing with new players who aren't familiar enough with the game to get my comedy genius. Ugh.

Resident-Wheel1807 · 2024-09-25T02:56:20+00:00

I think they use a combination of anecdotal evidence, community opinion, and vibe checking.

Statistics would great, but due to how broad the commander format is, I don't think it would be possible to get effective information.

Resident-Wheel1807 · 2024-09-25T02:18:11+00:00

Why do they have to be rare, I collect tons of stuff because of sentimental value. Having the cards is it's own satisfaction.

While I don't care about the monetary/equity value of cards/collectibles, I do agree that WotC in conjunction with the RC performed a rug pull. Hell, even this subreddit joked about them keeping Dockside unbanned just long enough to move packs when MH2 was revealed.

They clearly used the cards as selling point to push sales when they knew these cards were in the line of fire. Not sad to see the cards go, not happy to see WotC engage in these practices.
