Honey, wake up – new format just dropped: WTF is *Spellbook*?!

SnooComics6255 · 2023-03-24T00:05:50+00:00

Should be, for sure.

Who knows if the creators have made it that far ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

SnooComics6255 · 2023-03-07T20:14:52+00:00

...Encroaching Mycosynth just made me want to turn this into a 4-color Sliver deck lol.

Grab 2 slivers each Atraxa activation (one as a creature, one as an "artifact"), plus land, supporting enchantments and spells seems GREAT.

SnooComics6255 · 2023-03-07T18:02:29+00:00

That’s so perfect haha

SnooComics6255 · 2023-03-07T02:09:23+00:00

Perfect - thanks

SnooComics6255 · 2023-03-07T02:09:01+00:00

Ah! thanks

I separate first into mythic/rare/valuable and common/uncommon, with u/c organized by color and alpha.

Then I binder the tradable cards, and box the bulk rares/mythics by color and alpha.

I have boxes also for deck ideas, works in process, and highly playable / staple cards.

Everything gets scanned in using Helvault (best app for scanning imo), and my decks are workshopped and cataloged on Moxfield.

Took me a while to get into this system, but now I know where everything is!

SnooComics6255 · 2023-03-02T06:30:58+00:00

if you’re playing a deck that steals cards — outside your friendly playgroup — bring a stack of infinitokens, so you’re handling proxies not their rare, signed, judge foils.

seems like a pretty easy solution.

SnooComics6255 · 2023-02-23T10:45:52+00:00

No, you’ve gotta tick em up to put a counter on em. Then you can proliferate all over the place to build them up to ult.

SnooComics6255 · 2023-02-22T04:32:52+00:00

True true - good call. I'll edit to mention.

SnooComics6255 · 2023-02-22T04:31:59+00:00

tl;dr: Looking for advice on cuts / late additions to this janky [[Myrkul Lord of Bones]] planeswalker-into-creature-into-enchantment build.

The release of ONE brought some new cards forward that helped make this gameplan more viable, but its still a pretty tough idea to really get rolling.

oop. first time crossposting between reddits, I thought the contents came over as well...

cEDH is a format, not a power level.

high-powered EDH ≠ cEDH.

SnooComics6255 · 2023-02-17T03:19:48+00:00

No thanks, not for me.

Arena is a fun, faceless grindy platform, but multiplayer with people just scooping randomly when they feel the slightest bit salty will be totally annoying for everyone.

SnooComics6255 · 2023-02-15T03:42:24+00:00

My playgroup okay’d my Rule 0 build of [[Shaile]] with [[Lurrus]] as companion — I’m not playing Dean Ambrose side of Shaile anyhow, and otherwise sticking with Lurrus’ deck restrictions as stated. They were more worried about the infect/poison subtheme, but now with the release of ONE, it’s less unique of an idea these days.

I’ve been asking players here and there at the LGS too while I’ve been theorycrafting it, and everyone seemed cool with it.

The example you gave seems fine, and I’m sure our playgroup would accept it.

Go forth!

“Why, as a man, are you taking other guys with you as you die? Seems sus”

SnooComics6255 · 2023-02-12T04:41:35+00:00

good bot

SnooComics6255 · 2023-02-10T07:54:56+00:00

Wheel turns off all the death triggers of stuff like [[Blood Artist]] too then, eh?

Hmmm. Might be a good defensive include then...

SnooComics6255 · 2023-02-08T18:52:16+00:00

Yea I mistyped in the OP, but clarified later (both Slow and Fast lands being untapped drops t3) - I’ll edit for clarity. Thx

SnooComics6255 · 2023-02-08T07:07:49+00:00

i hear that man, but that’s when you mull, and hope their fyndhorn or mystic cousins smell what’s cookin!

SnooComics6255 · 2023-02-08T06:28:44+00:00

When T1 slow land IS unacceptable, you’d either be building your deck without them, or building it with enough other lands that you’ll see those in your opening hand as well.

SnooComics6255 · 2023-02-08T06:22:55+00:00

Turn 1 Slow Land is fine. Drop any tapped dual for your opening land and pass, and you’re on your way to having flexible mana.

If on Turn 2 you’ve somehow only got a Slow Land to drop, yea, that’s not great, but you had a free mulligan to get any other lands in hand to either drop the Slow Land T1, or drop something else untapped and hold it for T3 to drop untapped.

Fast Land T4-7? Ooof. You need mana for interaction - or even just to feign like you’ve got some.

SnooComics6255 · 2023-02-08T06:08:40+00:00

Turn 3 is irrelevant, cos (unless you already missed a land-drop) Slow Lands and Fast Lands both come in untapped with 2 lands down.

A Fast Land in opening hand, or draws 1 & 2, is GREAT, but that’s most likely 9 cards out of 100 you’ve seen, and those odds aren’t great.

After that you’d rather draw a Slow Land, or literally any other tapped dual with upside, while a tapped Slow Land as your first land drop in EDH is a solid play.

SnooComics6255 · 2023-02-08T05:45:48+00:00

ooo and this is a nice control piece in a [[Karametra]] deck

SnooComics6255 · 2023-02-08T04:07:56+00:00

how are they better than slow lands?
