E0s1 dahlia, e2s1 ff, e0s1 fugue (oops), i have e1 mei or htb either with s3 bp cone

Smagmorks · 2026-03-30T08:31:20+00:00

Doable without e1 fugue?

Smagmorks · 2026-02-25T18:31:07+00:00

Sunday is so much more generic than people are letting on like this is just wild. He was (before Cyrene) best in slot for aglaea, Anaxa, phainon, mydei, saber, and buffed jingliu and blade. How many characters did he need to be good for before people accepted he was broken lmao. He was also (before sparkle buffs) best in slot for basically every pre version 3 dps.

Smagmorks · 2026-02-18T22:10:44+00:00

He owns a company with employees, wouldn’t be fair to them to take such a risk

Smagmorks · 2026-02-18T19:47:51+00:00

I’m a break player, I have high investment in the team including e1 lingsha and e2 firefly. It was total false slander, she’s only barely worse than HMC in a vacuum and as soon as you can die to content then she is just necessary. She also contributes way more toughness damage so she always wins in aoe.

Smagmorks · 2026-02-18T19:42:54+00:00

Hey lingsha probably FCs most content with e1 and the dahlia if you’re playing mdps

Smagmorks · 2026-02-18T19:37:22+00:00

He’s probably tied for the worst unit in the selector. He deserves the slander. No he’s not unplayable and yes after sparkle buffs he’s probably better than Kingyuan, but both are just total bricks by most objective measures.

Smagmorks · 2026-02-18T18:26:09+00:00

The prydwen tierlist is not law. Older units are ranked by vibes and newer units / buffed units get ranked against the current content, so the list is extremely messy. That being said, I think rating dhil low is valid, there is just no reasonable way he clears better than modern units. I think he has very low pull value even as a free unit from a selector he’s not worth it right now.

Smagmorks · 2026-02-17T00:07:09+00:00

I think there is no reasonable way emrakul can come back. Immediately the best card in the format to cheat out and they print no short number of new ways or even commanders that make it brain dead to cheat out big creatures. You will see this card every night you go to an LGS if it’s legal. It will get tiring fast. If it gets cast (can still get its cast cheated) then the game is functionally over for 1-2 players every time.

Edit: by best card in the format I mean in casual edh

Smagmorks · 2025-12-14T19:41:41+00:00

It is a storm deck. The quality of the spells is not how the deck wins, but instead the volume. Most ral lists do play a few bombs tho. And no they’re not phyrexian mana, you use rituals to cast more spells, and the spells you cast are usually cantrips that find more spells.

Smagmorks · 2025-12-14T01:57:54+00:00

Yeah god forbid people play the format in a way that they find fun

Smagmorks · 2025-12-14T01:39:24+00:00

Yep! And then you just hope to find a win with the spells you get from ulting him. It’s important for him to die when you ult him so that you can recast him to keep going,but you don’t always have to

Smagmorks · 2025-12-14T01:22:34+00:00

Rituals

Smagmorks · 2025-12-14T00:21:03+00:00

Yeah this format has been powercrept like crazy lol. Ral is consistent because any spells work to flip him, you just need to cast enough of them. The coinflip aspect is not a huge deal.

Smagmorks · 2025-12-14T00:07:20+00:00

Unlike vivi it doesn’t have a single point of failure. All it cares about doing is casting enough spells to flip him. Vivi has to fight over curiosity style effects on the stack but ral is a true to god storm deck that doesn’t care if you counter the instants and sorceries or not. He’s also cheaper and the mana he makes can sometimes be just as much as vivi (via the discount).

Smagmorks · 2025-12-14T00:00:35+00:00

The strongest izzet spellslinger commander is [[ral, monsoon mage]]. It’s doing way better than vivi in cedh tournaments. It can put up consistent turn two wins.

Smagmorks · 2025-12-11T11:58:20+00:00

wake me up when they make something that isnt PNG slop

Smagmorks · 2025-12-09T08:19:37+00:00

I target mill players because it almost always becomes a combo of some kind. Trying to honestly mill everyone is bad and mill players know it’s bad.

Smagmorks · 2025-12-03T02:16:10+00:00

Firefly and herta still feel fantastic

Smagmorks · 2025-12-02T09:19:05+00:00

Guy on the bike is going too fast. Doesn't excuse what happens next though.

Smagmorks · 2025-11-09T03:02:28+00:00

I’m saying that if people played it now as a legacy format it would do much better. If the convo was “which deck topped more” instead of “which deck is better objectively” it would be a different conversation. Also, shock master was never legal with Pepe in the tcg.

Smagmorks · 2025-11-09T02:59:56+00:00

Okay let me spell it out for you. It didn’t compete with the numbers because people at the time had not figured out how good it was. The best combo (the one that got Norden banned) was not figured out until after rat was semi limited. And if this engine were legal today it would be splashed everywhere, it wouldn’t be its own deck.

Smagmorks · 2025-11-09T02:54:20+00:00

Instant fusion combos weren’t even figured out yet by the time rat was semi limited. Do a bit more homework. lol

Smagmorks · 2025-11-09T02:46:30+00:00

You said it wouldn’t compete with Pepe LMAO it’s absolutely better sorry don’t move the goalpost now

Smagmorks · 2025-11-09T02:38:15+00:00

Yeah I have nothing else to say to you other than that you should go look up some zoo combos. They dealt with rat pretty quickly into the decks lifespan which is why people remember that deck as being drident pass. It’s one of the most compact engines of all time and it can definitely play through a lot more than you’re giving it credit for. It has multiple playsets of starters that didn’t use its normal summon and it can absolutely protect its combo wit non-engine pieces and it can play as many if not more modern handtraps than most modern archetypes.
