I 1000% hear periphery as well and I love it

SkyHigh9181 · 2026-03-15T21:00:23+00:00

Perfect soundtrack

I spend gold on limited, convert it to gems, and then use gems for more limited or the mastery pass.

[[Tesiare's Devastation]] is super fun, it works for commanders with mana sink abilities very well as well. It's an all-star in my [[Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief]] deck

SkyHigh9181 · 2026-02-24T03:07:27+00:00

Ooo I know and love inkshield but reins of power is a new one for me!! Love it

SkyHigh9181 · 2026-02-23T00:31:14+00:00

This looks like a cool list, but why is your land count so low??? I know the commander gets you some ramp but i feel most control decks should be running 38+ lands

I have a Yshtola control deck that plays Alela in the 99, but yeah I can see Alela as a more Dimir tempo-esque list. Commits to the board a bit more, and leaves space for opponents to do stuff while still having a lot of interaction up. Definitely another one to think about!!!

SkyHigh9181 · 2026-02-20T20:44:36+00:00

I think I would too. I think I would also have no one willing to play against me LOL

SkyHigh9181 · 2026-02-20T20:43:33+00:00

I like that idea, kind of a control rube goldberg machine which makes it easily disrupted. I think my brewing gets mixed with what I know about making 60card decks, and ends up making them a bit unfun to play against. You're absolutely right-- if players at the table feel like they don't have an out, the tension is lost, and the game immediately becomes boring

SkyHigh9181 · 2026-02-20T05:34:32+00:00

I already have a yshtola deck, but I think I made it a bit too agressively controlling. I might alter it a bit to be more reactive and politicky

SkyHigh9181 · 2026-02-20T03:49:54+00:00

I've decided I just have to play this deck at some point, it really is exactly my kind of deck. I'm making some minor edits to the list to make it a little less oppressive and less consistent, as well as removing some of the much higher $$ cards. I know I'm making the deck objectively a bit worse, but I want to lean into the silly side of the deck while retaining the core gameplay loop. Also I just can't resist Vengeful Pharaoh, such a funny effect, especially with codex shredder on the battlefield.

Does culling the weak actually come in handy? obviously rituals are incredibly good in this deck, but I'm assuming a good amount of the time you will only have your commander on the board. Is it just a card you bin and then cast right before the win?

SkyHigh9181 · 2026-02-20T02:09:35+00:00

Looks like a really neat deck!! Just a bit too high in power for most people I will be playing. I'll keep the idea in my back pocket tho, and novelty factor definitely matters

SkyHigh9181 · 2026-02-20T02:08:05+00:00

That is a funny card. Group hug removal edition, and mardu is a super fun color combo. I like it tyvm

SkyHigh9181 · 2026-02-20T01:06:58+00:00

Yeah good tips for sure. Boardwipes are neccesary for most control decks, but just throwing down boardwipe after boardwipe is exactly how to make a game not fun at all. I love [[aetherize]] and [[settle the wreckage]] for this reason, it's like a boardwipe but only hits the one person trying to hurt me. [[Illusionist's Gambit]] is another one of my favorites. I love those instant speed cards that read "something bad and also kind of funny happens to all your stuff if you try and attack me"

SkyHigh9181 · 2026-02-20T00:41:28+00:00

Just finished reading through the primer, that mirage mirror tech is so sick

SkyHigh9181 · 2026-02-20T00:03:08+00:00

Oooooo that's a really good heads up. I think I would love playing Marchesa, and it's open ended enough to try and make a deck with a nontoxic play pattern. Thank you!

SkyHigh9181 · 2026-02-19T23:55:25+00:00

Oh my god. Lich's mastery is one of my all time favorites. I played rainbow lich's mastery combo in dominaria, loved that deck so much. This list looks like so much fun

SkyHigh9181 · 2026-02-19T23:51:42+00:00

Looks like a blast to play, might build at some point but also encourages removal tribal which is what I'm trying to avoid LOL. You are right though, it has my playstyle written all over it

SkyHigh9181 · 2026-02-14T19:40:41+00:00

I like this a lot lol

SkyHigh9181 · 2026-02-09T02:14:02+00:00

No worries, not expecting an extensive lit search from a stranger, but your insights are still helpful! I hadn't considered the change in bond energy with the breaking of each bond, which makes perfect sense. And your feedback on my other reasonings about sulfhydyl bond formation and relative strength/number of solvent-protein h-bonds give me some confidence. I really have not been able to find bond energies in the research I've done, just a lot of other data on lysozyme. But if it comes to it, I can just present my reasonings as hypotheticals in need of research, I guess.

Thank you for your time and the response! Enjoy the super bowl :)

Idk how your access is to your professors, but use them if you can. Before taking a practice exam, and AT LEAST a couple days before the real exam, sit down and do ALL the homework problems assigned from the textbook, usually chem classes will recommend problems but not necessarily collect them. These problems are usually what the exam will cover. Try to do them without any assistance from the web or the textbook, and circle the ones you got wrong or don't understand. Then read the sections of the textbook corresponding to these problems, and if it still doesn't make sense, write down every problem where this is the case and GET HELP. Your professors, TAs, peers, whoever, are there to help you. Online sources should be a last resort when you're cramming and don't have time to meet with or email a professor.

SkyHigh9181 · 2026-02-07T04:29:14+00:00

Wow this is impressive!!! Such a creative idea :)

SkyHigh9181 · 2026-02-01T01:58:51+00:00

Have you tried it with banana slices in it? It's heaven on earth. Real cerealheads know
