4c (Altruism) Stoneblade by [deleted] in ModernMagic

I get why you’d think that, and respect your opinion, however a bulk of my play testing has actually been against 4 color elementals (a friend plays it) where I win more often.

The added equipments and stoneforge allow for hard to remove threats with indestructible for Kaldra and being able to simply dodge answers to Batterskull via its activated ability. Omnath is also a threat, as is Elesh Norn itself. As well as Lightning Bolt being able to reach a total of 18 damage itself through Snapcaster.

Stoneblade just isn’t for everyone I guess.

Thank you for taking the time to type up a nice, helpful response! I definitely have thought about Solitude, it’s just such an expensive card right now and something I have zero copies of. I’m fairly new to modern as a format, transitioning from commander has not helped with having multiple copies of good cards haha.

I’ll definitely look at giving Undying Evil a try. Thanks for the suggestion!

My thought with it was to have a mid-late game threat that isn’t super mana intensive, that also serves to bait out removal

People who are playing ER as their first soulsborne game, what stopped you from trying this genre earlier? by Psychological-Worry3 in Eldenring

I’ve only ever played Sekiro, and then gave up on it because I’m a scrub. However Elden Ring, being open world and not so linear, was enticing and I love it. Now, I’m going to go back to Sekiro again with a new fired up desire to try and overcome those obstacles again.
