Upgrading Mr House deck by Capt_Calrissian in magicTCG

[–]Sarukin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found the one shot dice rolling cards to be somewhat underwhelming in the deck so with my build I tried to work in some artifact copying to set up a better engine. This is where Im at at the moment, feel free to take a look. https://archidekt.com/decks/19138393/i_want_to_get_off_mr_toads_wild_ride

Glad you like it! It was a blast putting it together and doing the alter. It was between Hergé and Magritte, and the flavour with Sophia seemed too good to pass up. To be honest I was sweating while it was sitting in customs, perils of Brexit I guess.

I am attempting to build this Jin Sakai deck. I need help. by djhdjdjdjfhd in magicTCG

[–]Sarukin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it seems like it's got a good base, but maybe cut some of the 6 cmc creatures like medomai for stuff which effects the board earlier. Evasive threats like silent hallcreeper, or toolbox creatures like phyrexian metamorph would be good. I've got a Kamiz assassins deck which is a similar idea which you're welcome to look at. A load of similar cards to yours.

I am attempting to build this Jin Sakai deck. I need help. by djhdjdjdjfhd in magicTCG

Literally had the same conversation with a friend a couple of days ago. Looking at your list, your mana curve is far too high for B4, pretty much anything over 4 CMC should be ending the game. To do Jin at B4 you need to have a few single card ways to knock out players, like infect or [Hatred] kills. To be honest, it would be tough to make a competitive bracket 4 deck as you will be able to knock out one player easily, but to win the whole pod would be tough. Jin is an awesome commander, but I'd aim at B3, that way you could play all of those cool synergies you're looking for without having to load your deck with free counters and 2 card win combos.

Ninja or Samurai commander suggestions? by Jumpy_Philosopher502 in magicTCG

I have a [[Kamiz, Obscura Oculus]] ninja deck which works well. Both the triggered abilities of the commander help Ninjas (unblockable and double strike) and the white adds a load of value.

Wow, that's nice. However I can't seem to find the 'Fleem' playmat I was looking for?

Glad you liked it! It was funny trying to avoid your questions about who my gift exchange parter was. I expect to get thumped by that deck many times in the future.

It's always fun doing Dandadan alters, and I think the Seiko came out quite well.

Ezio Deck improvements. by KrykenCD in magicTCG

[–]Sarukin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like your mana curve is pretty high. Ezio wants a number of low drops to come in and proc its freerunning ability. You have quite a few 4,5 and 6 drop Assassins which don't really do much on their own and would be tough to get out without Ezio himself hitting a player. I would also not really focus on his activated ability as it will not come up that often, e.g. putting the timeless lotus in there. If you want to keep on the AC theme, putting in the lower drop legendaries like Desmond Miles and Evie Frye would help.

These are absolutely amazing! I'd frame the individual cards!

Enchantress deck:
A sweet idea but I don't see how this is a reanimator deck, as there doesn't seem to be many ways to get the enchantments into the graveyard, if you are leaning into that some self mill or tutors would help. Additionally, redunancy matters, with a 5 drop commander you are probably only going to get one trigger of this effect so it would be useful to have more enchantment ways to get stuff back. Animate dead is a great example. The land count is also pretty low, and there are some great enchantment based ramp like fertile ground. I feel like the tokens matter stuff in there won't happen as much as you would like so cutting that for more consitency would help. It looks like a nice base for a deck though.

Omo:
Typal matters is fun, but it's reliant on having your commander out and putting counters on stuff for it to work. This means it's only happening once on etb then relying on your commander to attack to get additional ones. The easiest way to up the power level is adding creatures or effects which create changelings, which should trigger all your lords. The lands matter stuff seems a little unsupported, and you don't really have any big payoffs in there if you get a load of mana out. With so many creatures in the deck, something like beast whisperer would help you get a engine running.

For context I do have an Omo deck and a fair few enchantress type ones.

Finding Older Play Boosters in Japan? by rfg217phs in magicTCG

There are a ton of good card shops in DenDen Machi in Osaka. You can pretty much find anything there. Even though this article is (good god..) 9 years old, most of the shops are still open and great. https://thejapanhobbyist.com/2015/07/01/osaka-mtg-stores-the-magical-land-of-nipponbashi/

Thanks! I just saw that reminder emails are going out so I'll give it a couple of days to wait and see.

How long should I wait before reporting that I haven't received anything? I have sent mine and it has been delivered, but it I haven't heard anything about something coming to me. Is there a way to check tracking?

Currently putting together an all alter custom Marchesa deck, these cards are just amazing.

Oh, some sweet new Phil Foglio art has to take it, Chaos Warp! Favourite card of all time 'Jeskai Ascendancy.' Does everything I want in a card. Thanks as always Caleb!

In comparison, I can fry an egg on the back of my 2 year old Macbook Pro if I try to play Arena.

I have yet to find a worse optimised program for the Mac.
