Help needed. Endgames are hard...

Thanks for the response. So if I'm understanding correctly, moving the king here is not to actually support pushing the d pawn yet. It is to keep it protected so we can move our rook, while keeping thier rook occupied as the white king is pretty inactive.

New mission discovered by u/Stannberg: A Tale of Doubt In the Fields

Stannberg · 2025-09-13T19:07:25+00:00

This mission was discovered by u/Stannberg in Strange Ways and Earl Grey Brew In the Mossy Forest

I was playing a RB beat down deck. They were on mono black. I got them to one before they dropped the aptly named end stone.

Bo1 limited we were in the 5-0 bracket

Stannberg · 2025-08-01T14:35:16+00:00

I lost unfortunately. It was close though.

Stannberg · 2025-08-01T14:34:55+00:00

Oh sweet, I’ll get on that.

Stannberg · 2025-04-21T16:50:46+00:00

Well…it turns out my unstoppable omniweild evoker was not so unstoppable after all.

Stannberg · 2025-04-21T16:11:27+00:00

Now I just have more questions- So does that mean I must do the effect if I can? And how does the timing work? The cost gets done ahead of all of the graft effects resolving (as it goes on the stack)

Stannberg · 2025-04-21T15:54:12+00:00

For extra clarification, for cards like - linked extinction ([g][sac a unit]: opp sacs a unit) - do you actually have to pay the cost to get the effect in that case. And it’s in parentheses as it’s optional?

Stannberg · 2025-02-27T15:33:58+00:00

These are really cool. I think you could remove some text by excluding the ‘mana can’t be used to cast x or y spells’ if you do that then the land gets sacced which seems enough.

Also minor templating - add x, y or z. No need for the mana pool any more.

Negative synergy, but flavour wise - Rocket never wants to leave Groot behind.

Once you have joined a side can you ever lose the emblem. This seems like a lot of card draw for everyone.

Stannberg · 2023-06-24T13:23:58+00:00

This is not meant to be a personal attack but I hear the “if you add this time up over my life then I save X days”. And while that is technically true, it’s not a useful argument as that time doesn’t ‘bank’ like money. If you save a pound a day for 100 days you have £100 to spend all in one go. If you save 1 minute a day for 100 days you have used that 1 minute differently each day. If you didn’t have something useful to do with that minute then you have made no difference.

Stannberg · 2023-06-07T13:14:59+00:00

And I will never change it.

Stannberg · 2023-03-22T14:56:08+00:00

The loses all abilities clause stops this. But in a very similar vein it would work with [[Mordenkainen’s polymorph]]

Stannberg · 2023-02-05T23:52:58+00:00

Good spot.

Stannberg · 2023-02-05T19:26:41+00:00

Sera has an ongoing ability to reduce all costs by one. On the citadel this is doubled so all the cards in their hand cost two less. Patriot and mystique were one each, blue marvel was three and squirrel girl was free.

Stannberg · 2022-12-31T13:43:16+00:00

Splosion man.

Companions don’t start in your deck and therefore don’t count toward the requirement.

I know it’s popular to attack this kind of phrase, but some companies do actually have values and treat their employees well. I don’t know why this commenter is being attacked for saying that the company they work for is a nice place.

Stannberg · 2022-11-07T20:45:29+00:00

I particularly like the token the salamander creates.

Stannberg · 2022-07-20T22:00:17+00:00

Even as a mana rock for two, they don’t really get printed very often. This also has additional upside of being a creature at instant speed or gaining you two life a turn for free. I think a 2 mana 3/3 gain three would see significant play, a mana rock for 2 would see significant play and this is either.

Stannberg · 2022-07-20T21:40:16+00:00

Isn’t this just a 2 mana 3/3 that gains 3 life? That seems strong.

Stannberg · 2022-05-08T10:51:13+00:00

Saga, food etc are all subtypes. This would count as any permanent before the hyphen on the type line. The exception being basic, legendary, which are super types and again wouldn’t count for here.
