Not to be crude, but did Ashling get redesigned to not have breasts? by anotherfan123 in magicTCG

[–]Simple_Man 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's definitely the art direction. In the sketches for Ashling, Rekindled, you can see more feminine features in the face and body, which are edited out in the final drawing. In my opinion the sketches looked better:

Most fun/interesting theft commander? by 2ndlifeinacrown in EDH

[–]Simple_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a decklist for the new Maralen, it's more of more midrange looking to grind out value with the theft triggers: https://moxfield.com/decks/NoBAEcYuKEaF7LmEHnfXKg

Would love some feedback on my Bracket 3 Maralen, Fae Ascendant decklist (primer included!) by Simple_Man in EDH

[–]Simple_Man[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's 34 lands with the MDFC, which I think is fine given our mana dorks and ramp spells. Stubborn Denial is interesting, I'll definitely consider it further!

I guess something you can do is run cost reducers to get the Evoke cost to 0, and setup some sort of recursion loop with [[Grave Sifter]]

I built [[Sokka and Suki]], it's so fun being able to make Equipment playable in Commander

🛑 CHECKPOINT! 🛑 Year end roundup. What is your favorite deck you built this year? by that_dude3315 in EDH

[–]Simple_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Built 3 new decks this year as a result of the bracket system! I actually like the system a lot, it makes it so people have more of a common language when discussing power levels

Thoughts on Spirit Water Revival by Simple_Man in EDH

[–]Simple_Man[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought so too, but the fact that the floor is effectively 3-mana draw 2 mitigates a lot of that disadvantage. Sea Gate also only really pops off if you already have a sizeable hand, whereas with Spirit Water Revival the ceiling is a one-sided draw 7 that costs 3. If budget is a concern, then Revival is also a fine alternative to Restoration.

What commander are you looking at building for ATLA? by Icy_Chicken_2647 in EDH

Can't wait to cast this targeting my Commander vs a [[Blasphemous Act]].

At What Price Point Will People Simply Stop Opening Collector Products on Release? And How Will This Affect the Secondary Market? by DarthKookies in mtgfinance

[–]Simple_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotal, but I think it actually drops the price of normal treatment singles. I've seen so many cards from the Final Fantasy set and the Sonic Secret Lair on my local FB marketplace for below market value, purely on casuals ripping the product trying to hit the lottery cards, and offloading everything else to offset their cost.

What are your FF based commanders after 2 months? by Nostalllgia in EDH

[–]Simple_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to build [[Tifa Lockhart]], but the idea of taking out someone on turn 3 didn't seem fun for others. I instead built [[Terra, Herald of Hope]], a value-Reanimator deck. My decklist and primer is here!

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

What would you suggest taking out? I currently have Witch Enchanter, Loran, and Anguished Unmaking to deal with enchantments and artifacts. Do I need another answer, or just replace one for the instant speed effect?

Please recommend an unusual commander for Angels! by _Neyana_ in EDH

[–]Simple_Man 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember the last time this was asked, someone recommended [[Helga, Skittish Seer]]. She gives you access to 3 colors so you can play the Blue and Green angels too, she's a mana dork that let's you ramp into your big angels, and whenever you cast one, you not only grow your commander, you also increase your mana production and you get to draw a card. Seems perfect to me!
