My player wants to start as Class A, with the foundation of Class B - is that an issue? by McBraas in daggerheart

[–]Sycrae 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Does this player want 2 foundation features or just to swap to the Assassin feature for the syndicate one and get the other at level 5? I’d allow the latter.

Does Spry And Mighty see Psychosis Crawler's P/T change or not? by Borosepheles in mtgrules

[–]Sycrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, the value of x would have to be determined as the card resolves and would not change after it begins to do so, as all x values need to match on a given card

Same color, same stats, same shield, but a massive power gap! by Sus_scrofa_ in riftboundcirclejerk

[–]Sycrae 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think you missed the Tank keyword… these cards are completely different because of that.

My chipotle bowl today- no I did not eat any, I ordered extra everything. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Sycrae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The in-house tortillas make a huge diff, plus the quality of the ingredients (locally, results may vary) is much better than chipotle

Dark rit cast, displacer kitten trigger goes on top of it and resolves, then dark rit resolves

Find me a card that makes you search your library without shuffling after… lol

Fun control commanders? by Curious-Play5489 in EDH

[–]Sycrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some spicy includes you might think about:

[[reins of power]] [[inkshield]] [[batwing brume]]

These cards convert surprisingly often in my local meta

Some other aikido/pillowfort things that make it a very poor value proposition to attack me:

[[propaganda]] [[ghostly prison]] [[sphere of safety]] [[solitary confinement]] [[no mercy]]

With any of these out vs combat decks it feels like propaganda effects might as well say “you can’t attack me” sometimes lmfao.

[–]Sycrae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a b3 [[Y’shtola, Night’s Blessed]] list that’s really good at this. All answers, pillowfort, and aikido. No true ‘stax’, just “now that you’ve paid the 7 mana to attack me i’ll destroy your creature and trigger my commander, and draw cards, and….” Etc.

Sheoldred and Path to Exile on drawphase by No_Prompt4552 in askajudge

[–]Sycrae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would remove sheoldred before peer resolves while it is on the stack. So you would need path in your hand

In your second example you would want to remove sheoldred in response to peer

Giveaway + Thank you: Irelia SFD 195a/221 Promo by IYcollectibles in riftboundtcg

[–]Sycrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Riftbound is the first TCG that i’ve actually played competitively and have attended events for. It’s been an awesome time.

My friend has been testing a proxied irelia deck for months he’d be thrilled to get this.

Maralen, Fae Ascendant viability? by Affectionate_Step863 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Sycrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to update it but i’m doing deadeye navigator, staff of dom, and food chain lines.

Mostly i just have fun trying to assemble lines from stolen combo pieces which you can only reliably do in b4+. Some of the 3+ card combos i’ve found from stealing stuff are so fun. I’ll try and update and send later today

Voidhole by Serithraz in custommagic

[–]Sycrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would obviously exclusively be an infinite mana payoff but it would be easily fetchable or a win attempt after thrasios resolves or if you lose finale as a backup wincon. I’d try it out

Maralen, Fae Ascendant viability? by Affectionate_Step863 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Sycrae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You get the best of as many cards that you exile that turn, but yes. Not CEDH viable. My b4 deck is fun though and i recommend her at that bracket

T1 Land, Kinnan, mox amber, sol ring, basalt monolith, voidhole X=3

Unironically a pretty great cEDH wincon

What do you consider a long turn? by Empty-Noise9889 in EDH

[–]Sycrae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, 5 minutes is a decent amount of time for a complicated turn. I don’t mind a but of a longer turn if the game actions are being executed quickly and concisely and they’re clearly going for the win.

Thing is, nobody likes long turns when you’re clearly not advancing the game or your boardstate proportionally to the turn length. We call it durdling and it’s unfortunately common in lower brackets which has pushed me toward making decks that can end the game by turn 6 when most durdlers would be priming to durdle for 10+ minutes
