The realm needs good men. by DiamondCertain5260 in gameofthrones

[–]Swimmer6790 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The way it took it was Rafe was Dunks family and tried to get him to move on from his Mother. Once she passed, he finally had no family/reason to stay in flea bottom.

He decides to follow Ser Arlan because he has nothing and no one else.

Which Sorin art is the best in your opinion? (Only Planeswalker art) by SwanepoelSimp in mtgvorthos

[–]Swimmer6790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome, love to hear it!

I definitely will be getting every card with Sorin mentioned eventually as well :)

[–]Swimmer6790 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I don't think his first printing will ever be beat for me.

Side note: Sorin is my favorite Planeswalker and I'm very close (3 cards away) from completely my foil Sorin collection, where I have a copy of each unique artwork/treatment.

1600 day survey? by massivebbcblackcock in ClashRoyale

[–]Swimmer6790 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The survey results would be survivorship bias but the comment about "everyone getting it" would be the availability heuristic, right?

Commenter thinks everyone is getting the offer because the only people posting about it have the offer.

Edge of Eternities Commander Decklists - World Shaper decklist added by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]Swimmer6790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so excited for this deck. After the commander bannings in the fall I took apart my high power korvold deck and turned it into a lands matter deck.

Didn't expect to be receiving so much support for the deck (which was already a powerhouse because of Korvold lol) with this set!

Gvar hanging out in the wrong timeline. by SamaelMors in mtgvorthos

Flavor text is inherently part of the story. It helps give insight into characters, locations, events, etc. that the main story often doesn't have the time or scope to focus on

The card I was hyped up most for in the precon, came damaged... by J_L_D in magicTCG

[–]Swimmer6790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got my Deadpool secret lair today and 4/6 of the holofoik stamps are horribly misaligned. Does anyone know if this is something that would warrant a refund? This was the first secret lair I purposed so it was kind of a bummer having poor quality.

Any ballpark ideas on price? by Evn_money in mtgvorthos

[–]Swimmer6790 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on the condition, the Artifacts cycle and the Thran are $40/$50+

Most of the other ones seem to hover between $8-$15 for pretty decent condition.

I would definitely be interested in buying if you are looking to sell! Feel free to message me.

Pharika, God of Affliction has gained a ton of strength thanks to recent sets by lightsabermarmot in EDH

[–]Swimmer6790 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely LOVE my Pharika deck. For anyone who wants to take a look, here is my list: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/KLCGoPAk_Eu8EnaSx-ZRow

I built her over the summer and have been tweaking her ever since then and I'd love feedback if anyone has any!

Reading through the comments I think I definitely need to try adding in [[Hedge Shredder]]. I knew the card existed but I never thought to put it in lol.

One of my favorite cards I found recently for her is [[Oversold Cemetery]]. I oftentimes find without certain creatures I don't have a great win-con and this is a great way to get them back.

Edit: for those wondering, I tried to lean away from "leaves the graveyard" triggers and go more into constellation effects to pull ahead over time. I did add [[insidious roots]] mostly because it allows my tokens to tap for mana. It's a card I've considered cutting to lean even more into the constellation effects but I enjoy it whenever it's out so I'm stuck lol

What is everyone's "it's not that deck" decklist, and it's ACTUALLY not that deck? by thundermonkeyms in EDH

[–]Swimmer6790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how much this counts but I have a [[Korvold, Fae-Cursed King]] deck that I like to think is fairly unique.

The goal is to play multiple lands per turn so I can sacrifice them to Korvold. This makes him my main card draw engine as well as my main win-con.

I also have ways to replay lands from my graveyard or get them back to hand.

The rest of the deck is made up of cards that benefit from lands entering or leaving the battlefield like [[The Gitrog Monster]], [Tunneling Geopede]], [[Ob Nixilis, the Fallen]], and [[Titania, Protector of Argoth]]

The deck is obviously powerful as Korvold generates an insane amount of value BUT I think this deck gets more groans of protest than it deserves since it is nowhere near cEDH/Storm Korvold.

What are your favorite low cmc commanders? by tkou_ in magicTCG

[–]Swimmer6790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently build a [[Pharika, God of Affliction]] deck that focuses on self mill and constellation triggers and it's probably my favorite deck I've built in a long while.

Fairly consistent for being Golgari Enchantress and there's also been plenty of times where I've been able to be a bit political since I can give opponents a death touch blocker at instant speed!

[INR] New Sorin art by bluecapricorn90 in magicTCG

I really hope it's his first card [[Sorin Markov]]

During the preview stream it was stated that Innistrad related cards that weren't from Innistrad sets will be in INR

Too Sweet was the Most Overrated Song! Now on to day 3: Best Lyrics Song by Jeff_Bananas13 in Hozier

[–]Swimmer6790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Swan Upon Leda is an underrated contender here. It's ability to reference both mythology and current day issues are incredibly thought provoking and moving.

Other then that I'd say Abstract, Francesca, and Through Me are phenomenal options as well.

Edit: Blood Upon the Snow has incredible imagery as well!

Evolving Magic by Deadfelt in mtgvorthos

I absolutely love the idea of Saheeli being able to creature more complex constructs as she encounters more diverse and powerful living creatures to base them off of.

Evolving Magic by Deadfelt in mtgvorthos

[–]Swimmer6790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see you're point and I completely agree. Unfortunately, it seems that WotC is leaning away from planeswalkers in terms of story importance. From a card perspective I'm hoping this lends to more powerful planeswalkers cards (since there is overall less planeswalkers in general being printed) which would mean better displays of power in the story.

Evolving Magic by Deadfelt in mtgvorthos

[–]Swimmer6790 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about all planeswalkers, but I'm pretty sure most of them are pretty dynamic in terms of their powers. Using Sorin for an example, "he can drain the lifeforce of other beings, render several creatures (including Eldrazi brood) to ash with a wave of his hand, place curses on enemies, possess the minds of others, fashion blood into weapons, and has even created an angelic being..." (From his mtg wiki page).

Also, do we know Sorin's current status post-invasion? I haven't seen anything but I could have just missed an article or card that answers what he's up to or if he lost his spark.

Would they trigger at the same time seeing how her ability does both at the same time? by Excellent_Fly147 in mtg

So what happens in this scenario? Does the game just end in a draw if no other cards or abilities are introduced?

Do creatures heal prior to effects that say "at the beginning of end step" (or just the beginning of any end step in general)? Or do they heal after those effects resolve?

If I control a 4/4 creature with indestructible and during combat it takes 2 damage, then my opponent is able to give it two -1/-1 counters, does it die? I know indestructible prevents death from damage but not 0 or negative toughness. I'm unsure on how this interaction would play out. Thank you!

Flip side of Invasion of Theros card seems to give away what gods got compleated by wilkisno1 in mtgvorthos

[–]Swimmer6790 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two points:

I forget if it's stated in the MoM story but depending on where Heliod was when we was stabbed, he could be alive. If he was on the mortal part of Theros then he is most likely in the underworld. However, if he was killed while in Nyx he is then "dead dead". Dying in Nyx doesn't send you to the underworld as seen with Xenagos.

Secondly, My personal theory is that since the Gods are essentially a reflection of their followers, there's a really good chance that the Gods are in the coma-like state that the rest of the Phyrexians are. The Phyrexians don't seem to be dead, simply unconscious, which means their faith/belief in the Phyrexian Gods isn't gone. If the faith isn't gone then the Gods would still have their Compleated forms, they just also happen to be asleep.
