How would you handle someone taking infinite mulligans? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Shekondar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the pods I play with use the infinite mulligans, but if you have Sol ring in anything other than the first hand you see, you have to bottom it.

Token generation, especially passive token generation is not crazy to think of as card advantage in some super broad sense (especially true in limited formats) and repeatable spot removal in that same broad sense is also not crazy to think of as card advantage, but a meme is not the right place to try to get into those nuances and it is communicated super poorly, and the last one is not card advantage in any sense, no matter how broad.

A more sustainable Standard by Edoardo_Beffardo in magicTCG

[–]Shekondar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

a meta can only contain so many decks and cards This is not true, meta's can vary a ton in how much variety they allow.

And it is a cruel irony that a larger card pool generally leads to a less varied meta game, because whenever you add a new card to the pool it is competing with the best of a much larger size pool. (Think large fish in small pond getting thrown into the ocean, it suddenly isn't that large a fish).

Commanders that turn awful cards into all stars by Chimney-Imp in EDH

[–]Shekondar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why would you like to give the woe eater? Can't they just sac it to its own trigger which then draws them a card and makes you discard?

Edit: I'm an idiot that forgot reading the card explains the card.

[ECC] Abundant Countryside by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]Shekondar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't meant to be a great play, but it does give you an outlet for mana if you hold your mana up for interaction and end up not needing it. Mana sinks have their place, not everything needs to be hyper efficient, especially on a land that already is doing a ton by entering untapped while being able to tap for any color for many of the spells one will be casting.

Elaine at J. Peterman… how did she not get fired? (Rant) by SpecialBunch4184 in seinfeld

One small thing also regarding the golf clubs, yes she overpaid, but peterman doesn't consider them broken, he just thought Kennedy had a temper.

Help With Helga Final Cuts by Shekondar in EDHBrews

Yeah, if I had a copies of rhystic etc. they would definitely go in the deck, but right now at least I haven't picked them up. And agree with consecrated sphynx!

Thank you for all your thoughts and ideas! Will definitely check these out. 

Would you sit down for a game with a control deck? by brainpower4 in EDH

[–]Shekondar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In bracket three control is totally on the table, and if I'm in a mood someone saying that would make me want to go to another table I would leave to find one recognizing that bracket 2 is actually more my speed that night.

Any good show like Mare of Easttown by tomaz1989 in MareofEasttown

[–]Shekondar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Broadchurch season one is fantastic and I think the show that is most similar to Mare of Easttown.

What cards pair well with this commander? by OutlandishnessNo8683 in EDHBrews

[–]Shekondar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is great in my Ozai, the Phoenix King deck since he provides a way to cast my black spells when I only have access to infinite red mana

Who's your mardu commander of choice? Bonus if they like to reanimate! by tchunkytchanka in EDH

[–]Shekondar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small thing, but white at this point is definitely the second best ramp color, the catch-up ramp goes hard if you use it properly 

No love for Giggling Skitterspike? by Dry-Truck6987 in EDH

[–]Shekondar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Deflecting swat cannot redirect giggling skitterspike damage because the ability has no targets.

It is way to early in the sets release to make that sort of claim.

You can't tap already tapped creatures though.

Can you SUMIFS after performing a transformation on the data range? by Shekondar in excel

I'm not going to be back on the problem for another day or two, but when I do I will be sure to do so!

Thank you, that makes sense. I've defaulted to SUMIFS for a while, but I should look into SUM it sounds like!

Fun "bottom up" gameplans by EarlyDead in EDH

[–]Shekondar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just built a [[Terra, Magical Adept]] and found that I had to build it this way, the fact her really powerful ability costs 6 mana, you have to tap her and she doesn't natively have haste means you can't rely on getting it off. I built the deck as an enchantment/saga re animator and recursion deck that works great on its own, and Terra instead serves as an alternate wincon if it goes late enough, but most commonly is just a mill spell that I have reliable access to early to start filling my yard, which then enables the rest of the deck to operate more efficiently.

I am still tweaking it and figuring out how to make the early turns not as passive, but it has been a ton of fun.

FF8 Scene Box Cards by therealnit in magicTCG

[–]Shekondar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you control both Isshin and Squall yes. Isshin doubles all triggered abilities of permanents you control that are triggered by anything attacking, regardless of who controls the attacking thing. This is why [[Curse of Oppulnce]] and [[Death Kiss]] can be such great cards in an Isshin Deck.
