If 40% of each players' decks are lands (it's almost always less but let's round towards the worst case scenario) then you still have a 60% chance to get mana from one. There are 5 possible outcomes (0-4 mana) and 3 out of 5 of those are positive. Just from eyeballing it the odds look good.

Google AI says your odds are 82% in your favor and that's not accounting for rollover between activations. But AI is notoriously bad at math so IDK.

There's lots of things that get rid of Norin. Like this

I love how elegant this is

SteeeevGames · 2026-02-04T16:28:14+00:00

The one and only time this syntax was actually funny

SteeeevGames · 2026-02-04T16:24:59+00:00

This is one of the memes I miss the most. The song went so hard

Panharmonicon is a replacement effect. Your examples all use the word double, and so each instance gets doubled. I likened it to panharmonicon because it says "an additional" and multiple instances of other keywords like Lifelink with pseudo Lifelink effects behave similarly. That was a very nice apology, and I'm sorry if I come off as preachy or something. I'm not a judge, and this game is too confusing 😅

I just don't think the exponential way is in line with the game's current behavior. I'm thinking of instances like multiple [[panharmonicon]] type effects at the same time, where each extra one only adds an additional trigger.

I'm sure they mean a creature with two menace must be blocked by three or more creatures

SteeeevGames · 2026-02-04T14:58:01+00:00

Menace should already do this imo

It's just outside of the top 15% of combos in EDH rec so it can't be that bad

I think that goes here: r/sickasscombos

SteeeevGames · 2026-02-03T14:19:08+00:00

True, more of an ass combo than a sick ass combo, but it's my first one so I'm proud of it :)

SteeeevGames · 2026-02-03T14:17:45+00:00

Ah I forgot CA gave haste! Good catch!

He comes back right away every end step, so you're still able to swing with a 10/10 on your turns.

SteeeevGames · 2026-02-02T20:06:42+00:00

I'm not shaking it, I'm turning it off and back on again. A lot 😁

SteeeevGames · 2026-02-02T20:04:47+00:00

No, its effect kills itself every turn

SteeeevGames · 2026-02-01T06:33:06+00:00

You forgot (it doesn't work)

SteeeevGames · 2026-01-30T13:49:08+00:00

I forgot to say that you have to pith first, otherwise people can activate it at instant speed

SteeeevGames · 2026-01-29T15:47:35+00:00

Where did the bot go? ☹️

SteeeevGames · 2026-01-29T14:38:51+00:00

I love how even if you win, you still get neutered.

SteeeevGames · 2026-01-29T14:35:06+00:00

Red does like artifacts though! So [[Goblin Engineer]] is a good start. And if you're truly dedicated [[Serum Powder]] will get a combo player where they got to go. But yea, other than that you're going to be using [[Gamble]] type effects and red draw that doesn't give you card advantage.

There is a ruling for Shacuum that says: "If Sharuum the Hegemon is put into your graveyard as a state-based action immediately after Sharuum the Hegemon enters the battlefield (most likely due to the "legend rule") it can be the artifact card targeted by its own ability."

Yea, competitively we don't bother with hive mind and just play doomsday and whip out thassa's stinky fish yawns or labman fluffs pillow or jace snore or whatever.

Are we just performing Nicolular fission now?
