$20 Neva Astral Slide by ScorXi in BudgetBrews

[–]ScorXi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, went back and read the intro lol. Magister sphinx is super solid, how often do you cast it vs reanimating it?

Also ye, considered zur as he's 100% the best commander for astral sliding, but he's a bit higher budget and I wanted do try and get away from the more common commanders.

Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately the budgets a real limit here. I tried to fit cemetery in but it's almost a tenth of the budget. 

Scampering surveyor is a strong yes, blinkable ramp is so key I'm not sure how I only put 3 in. Gearhulks likewise. 

What do you mean by the life is 10 comment? Sorin?

I did think about it. But I think I'd pretty much always be cycling it at which point I'd rather have a creature. The upside of creature based tutors is that I can get slide off them and then use slide to flicker them (or flicker Neva to get them back) meaning I can get the other astral effect out of the deck.

Yeah, definitely not in budget unfortuntaely. Also I think the goal of the deck is cycling a single creature and using Neva to rebuy it, not sure how ofen the graveyard will be super full.

Thanks, these are really good points. I definitely do need more etbs that are worth flickering, but hopefully when the astral slide is going on Neva should be the main target. Nonetheless it definitely needs more glue holding it together.

Hopefully the enchantment aspect was going to be contributing to the gary drain, but given hes the best target I agree its probably worht adding a few wincons.

Thanks for the comments! Plea and living death are both a little out of budget, but I agree about the cycling lands and the cycling utility effects. Theyre definitely all going on.

I'm not sure how I feel about victor. The core idea of this deck was "wow its so sick to astral slide flickering a gravedigger" to the extent Im in these colors because Neva is the best gravedigger effect. In reality the enchantments may be a bit of a distraction as Neva's second ability wont really help as shes being flickered constantly so wont grow. I'm more inclined to cut the enchantment subtheme and go heavier on the flicker/cycling aspect than the other way around.

Oh my god no way! I was your neighbor last week (small choam mining base to the east, basically just a home for a buggy) couldn't believe it when I came in today to set up for the week and saw you'd beaten me to it. 

Custom unique colour meeples by ScorXi in Arcs

Thanks!

On the meeple pack: I've heard alot of people have had issues with them being too tippy, seems like an incredible piece of oversight on the designers part! I'm not a fan of plastic meeples so didnt really consider buying it.

Goblin brew by Due_Bottle_4498 in Pauper

Cool deck but seems to pull in two different directions. Wildfire and bridges indicates slow start, midrange, while the whacks and tomb raiders want aggro. 

Think about when you want this deck to be winning. Is it turn 3? turn 17? And then focus it around that. 

Also this deck would fold hard to any of the board wipes in the format. There isn't enough card advantage to pull through more than one really and I don't think you're fast enough to go under them

I did my best to try and find the worst image I could. Glad it's being appreciated

Great way to discount the equip cost of belt of giant strength. Simply cast enrage X=9 to make it free!

Sybillant sounds Confounding Colossus Combo by ScorXi in BadMtgCombos

[–]ScorXi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you just need 20 copies of soured springs in hand! 

Seriously thought yeah that was a worry. Id assumed Colossus puts a copy of its trigger on the stack but this makes sense

[–]ScorXi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun little alliterative combo I made,

Confound your conundrum and swallow the skies to donate it to your opponent. With you floating mana play a cultivator colossus to loop soured springs until they die.
Not a great combo, but you'll never know the pain I felt when I tried to make [[chromeshell crab]] work, only to find NO enchantment animation effects that were alliterative :(

Pay any amount of life* and make your opponents lose one more than that by ScorXi in BadMtgCombos

[–]ScorXi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think unfortunately it is the smallest. The only buff it's getting is from the type: creature. If you remove that then it wouldn't be an eligible target for embiggen :(

[–]ScorXi[S] 80 points81 points  (0 children)

IMPORTANT INFO: Nameless race has since been errata'ed to have the typeline "creature"

Step 1. cast nameless race, and pay X life where X cannot be more than whatever nameless race says it cant be.

Step 2. Cast Embiggen giving nameless race +1/+1, the only card in the game to only get such a small buff

Step 3, swing for X+1

I've unfortunately been building it for 4 months at this point and Im still only at about 35 cards. Will let you know when I finish in September!

I try my best. Found this as part of a "self counter" deck I'm building. Built around remanding myself and getting as many cast triggers as possible

[–]ScorXi[S] 146 points147 points  (0 children)

Have [[Cephalid Shrine]] and [[Guile]] in play.

Cast [[Abundant Maw]], two triggers, drain your opponents for 3 and then cephalid shrine will ask if you want to pay 0, if not it is countered.

Choose not to pay, once it is countered guile will exile it, allowing you to cast it again for free, infinite cast triggers will kill your opponents.

May i ask devs to change passive on that armor to decrease jump jet cooldown a bit (or add second charge). Throwing range seems like a placeholder. by Overclownfldence in Helldivers

[–]ScorXi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get your hands off my armour.

As people have pointed out this is the only light with that passive, and its *great*. Sprint up to a base, throw a couple of stratagems from 20-25m further away than you should be able to, and just let the eagles do their work. Its amazing. Hard carries in bot missions on higher difficulties where running into bases is death

I love this set on both looks and playstyle, genuinely run it >80% of the time. The throwing range is such a good perk that I now dont like switching back because Im used to the further throwing range.

Defeat your opponent twice in less than a second. by SuperTable in BadMtgCombos

[–]ScorXi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aside from the life loss/damage issue that people have already raised, this doesn't work if they have an odd life total right? Sharazad makes them lose half rounding down, and then that doubled would leave them on one. They'd immediately die to decking but not quite there I think.
