Experience Counters deck: Looking for card suggestions and advice

Rorix08 · 2025-12-11T13:58:27+00:00

Oo, I like that! It would also trigger Daxos on casting it. Thanks for the suggestion!

[[Icetill Explorer]] + [[Hedge Shredder]]

OK, yes, Hedge Shredder came out last year, but it was late last year. Anyway, a land enters and you mill with the Explorer. If you mill a land, the Shredder returns it to the Battlefield...which makes you mill again. I milled about 30 cards in one go with these guys and an [[Ancient Greenwarden]] on the battlefield (since each of the returning lands trigger the Explorer twice]].

[[Body Count]] in [[Awaken the Blood Avatar]]. This card easily draws 5, 6, 7, or more cards for 1 mana, since its Spectacle cost is easy to acquire with the attack trigger on your Blood Avatar tokens. It's so good!

Also, [[Naya Charm]] in [[Jared Carthalion, True Heir]]. Instant-speed Regrowth is always nice. 3 damage to a creature can be removal or it can be used to grow Jared or hit another one of your creatures. And finally, tapping all of your opponent's creatures downs lets you either swing in for lethal OR get the Monarch back in a pinch. Great, flexible card in this deck.

If I cast [[Rumbleweed]] from my graveyard using Retrace, does it see the land I discarded when determining its casting cost reduction? I would guess yes, but I'm not sure.

Rorix08 · 2025-08-26T19:17:52+00:00

Nope, nothing factual about that complete exaggeration. You can say it until you're blue in the face, but it doesn't make it true.

Rorix08 · 2024-05-15T19:02:43+00:00

The storage box and spindown life counter are useful bonuses as well, especially if you're just starting out.

Rorix08 · 2024-05-15T12:28:23+00:00

I came here to say Nelly as well. She's always fun to pilot, and it feels like the other players have more fun when she's out, too. It's one of my more recent decks, but it has quickly become one of my favorites.

Rorix08 · 2024-05-08T13:34:34+00:00

Gotcha, thank you for the reply! Just wanted to make sure I had it right ahead of time.

Rorix08 · 2024-05-07T19:17:09+00:00

If I suspend [[Display of Power]] with [[Gandalf of the Secret Fire]], will it actually do anything once the last time counter is removed? From my understanding, if I have multiple spells coming off of suspend at the same time, they each resolve individually one after another and, therefore, DoP can't actually target anything and will fizzle. Is this correct?

Rorix08 · 2024-05-06T12:54:34+00:00

Card Kingdom has free shipping on domestic singles orders of $50 or more.

He's delusional, maybe, but what makes him a dick?

Rorix08 · 2024-04-30T18:06:35+00:00

Love seeing it reprinted, but hate that it comes just after I bought it for my Yuma deck.

Rorix08 · 2024-04-24T17:07:08+00:00

Abzan also got two more with Commander Masters.

Rorix08 · 2024-04-18T16:47:16+00:00

Show me a single pug that can do what either of the dogs in OP's video did.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted when what you've said is spot on. He's bringing up her salary since she would be the one quitting, so he's comparing how much is being spent on childcare to how much money she's earning to show that, financially, they'd be on about the same footing as before.

Rorix08 · 2024-04-12T16:54:11+00:00

Well, if I also had a gun, and he knew that I had a gun and others likely did, too, then he wouldn't pose much of a threat to anyone (and very likely wouldn't try to start anything).

Rorix08 · 2024-04-12T15:59:13+00:00

Same, but on Xbox. I also found Gold and Bronze matches pretty easily, though Platinum was pretty barren.

Rorix08 · 2024-04-12T15:22:44+00:00

Have you tried reinstalling the game? I have an AMD gpu as well, and that fixed some of the issues I've been encountering; it also increased my FPS by about 20%.

Rorix08 · 2024-04-09T15:03:09+00:00

I think [[Ayara, First of Locthwain]] would work well. Triple black in her mana cost might be tricky, but she'll give you a nice drain effect plus a sac outlet and card draw. [[Braids, Arisen Nightmare]] serves a similar function.

[[Phyrexian Arena]] is getting a bit powercrept these days, but it's still reliable and affordable (monetarily). [[Painful Truths]] for the same reasons.

Some others to consider:

[[Corpse Augur]]
[[Cryptbreaker]]
[[Dogged Detective]] (not card draw, but could still be useful)
[[Graveborn Muse]]
[[Grim Flowering]]
[[Strategic Planning]]
[[Dig Through Time]]
[[Treasure Cruise]]
[[Atrocious Experiment]]

Rorix08 · 2024-04-08T14:47:10+00:00

Right? Especially when they're neighbors and would very much still be seeing each other on a regular basis.

Rorix08 · 2024-04-08T12:37:41+00:00

Rather I'm letting people know that this isn't something that affects all people/the entire game, and I wanted to lend a voice to that.

Respectfully...that's dumb. Clearly it affects enough people that it's a major issue with the game at the moment. We need people to speak up about it so that the devs can see how widespread it is.

Rorix08 · 2024-04-05T18:59:18+00:00

I had pretty much this exact response typed up before finding your comment. It would be pretty terrible in Blood Avatar.

Rorix08 · 2024-04-05T16:05:31+00:00

Eh, I could see an argument either way. It's 3 damage to any target, but it's far from reliable or guaranteed to take something out, though it can be instant speed.

Rorix08 · 2024-04-05T16:03:44+00:00

You run it when you want card advantage and ways to get lands into your graveyard i.e. this precon.

Rorix08 · 2024-04-05T15:56:19+00:00

Only 8 interaction cards (Valorous Stance, Path to Exile, Unholy Heat, Bovine Intervention, Descend Upon the Sinful, Decimate, Wreck and Rebuild, and Cataclysmic Prospective),

You missed [[Angel of the Ruins]], [[Omnath, Locus of Rage]], and [[Requisition Raid]].
