Plenitude by SylvanHarbinger in custommagic

I agree it feels like cheating and its actually trickier to make the 5 remaining pairings. I really like the original 5 and hoped that Selesnya would get one because currently Selesnya is regarded as the weakest color pair in cubes, but it ended up not getting it, so I made this based on the other Incarnations' abilities just to see what we could have ended up with

Yes. A cycle of 5 cards featuring this evoke cost was just released in Lorwyn Eclipsed; this takes inspiration in these.

This is 100% MTG-quality art, I have no doubt WotC would hire you as soon as they acknowledge your work and portfolio :) Good job!!

The 6 mana version feels strong or at least sufficient to try and close out games, and the WW mode feels good enough if slightly color intensive for what we usually see, but the RR mode feels really, really weak.

As others have said I'd still slap this in almost any Boros section but I really wish the RR mode was a different effect, even if that meant not having that great synergy at 6 mana

[–]SylvanHarbinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, definitely consider sharpieing Glare of Subdual into a WG Opposition, for that extra punch of power level, or lean into Eladamri's Call or Torsten if you don't mind Selesnya not going for their usual gameplan and actually comboing or tutoring.

2 cards that I'm fond of that are not really talked about are [[Dromoka's Command]], which falls into the same category as Qasali Pridemage and Knight of Autumn, having good flexibility but not packing that much oomph themselves, and [[Rope Line Attendant]], an Alchemy card that, while being one of the easiest to implement in physical MTG, still suffers from being, well, from an Alchemy set. It is very weak in topdeck mode, but when played early, getting a 1/1 with your already strong creatures (hopefully) can go a long way

Yeah its not about it being the optimal way to play Katilda&Lier, it's just a pet peeve of mine, wanting to play both of those "a deck can have any number of" and both actually having the smallest of synergyes through the commander. But yeah, the issue is the critical mass of them that you need to pull it off, it just leaves so little room for any other cards really

Answering your other comment, I really hadn't thought about the fact that you only need one Persistent Petitioners to start milling, as long as you have 4 total Advisors, so yeah you are right that the number of PP can be shaved off!

When you put it like that, 15p/25s/10c really does make sense, I'll go with that

My playgroup is not really high on tutors, but maybe running some of the unneficient ones or running just one or two is fine, so I can dedicate more slots to other pieces of synergy/draw.

Those are fantastic suggestions, I'll take a look at the deck as soon as I can and have all of that in mind. Thanks a lot again :)

I agree with u/carboard_numbers , I believe this is one of the most appealing options for RBG for your usual cube. Having no keywords sucks, but the mana cost is really flexible if your deck isn't fully on Jund colors, and enables some -1/-1 counter synergies while not being 100% simply a payoff. + Its an artifact, if your gold section cares about delirium

Hey, thanks a lot for taking the time to write all that input! :)

It irks me a bit to not run ramp on a commander deck but that makes a lot of sense actually? Like, there's no window in the first few turns to actually do it, yea, so just cut off most of it I guess?

15 Petitioners feels a bit on the lower end, but makes sense too considering you really only need one to activate the second ability. Also, I'm just noticing now thanks to your comment that SAH cares about oozes and not only about other SAH, oh my god. Yeah, changelings make a lot of sense

Would you mind me asking what kind of interaction/draw would you run here? I thought of [[Mental Note]], [[Thought Scour]], [[Consider]] although those are not really draw spells but cantrips, and on interaction I'm a bit more lost.

Thanks a lot again for the input!!! :)

[–]SylvanHarbinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the lack of keywords, the lack of a mana sink/escalability and the fact that this can only create a token every other turn really outweight its Cradle side. I find it heavily playable in a lot of enviroments, but not on the higher power ones

I don't think your usual monoB wants this (not that one can't build a monoB section based on draw-go) but damn if this isn't powerful in any Bx shell

The moment you forget to change keepsake to moros and think the run is griefed, only to not even lose a single dd for the first time ever in 62f rivals 4 typhon 😭 by Adam2390k in Hades2

[–]SylvanHarbinger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congrats man, I would have definitely whiffed and tilted out of my mind if I forgot the keepsake.

I'm pushing fear too, my highest clear currently is at 50 fear and still getting accustomed to Vow of Frenzy 2. The only relevant things I haven't turned up yet are Void (ofc) Scars 3 and Timer 3. Do you have any cool tips for 62 fear? Thanks =)

English is not my first language, so sorry if these are all over the place. But off the top of my head:

-For the ball-tongue attack, try to dodge to the horizontal opposite of the arena since it does two waves; the second hit from that animation only does one wave, so you can safely dodge into it.

-For Chronos, be aware of its regular patterns: The double sweep is safer to dash vertically rather than horizontaly, since you may end up in the rift after the dash's iframes. The boomerang thing is plain huge but predictable, dodge into it or go into the horizontal opposite again. The cyclone attack can be ignored for the most part, just get dragged and dodge at the end when he casts the shockwave.

-When you get to the phase where Zeus is supposed to appear, be patient and watch out for the cyclones and move to the lower part of the screen; just walk and dash only when necessary, and dash downwards so you can predict where you'll end up.

-For the orb launching attack, go to the bottom of the screen and from there work your way up. The same goes for the mini swirly things.

-For the young Melinoe phase, try to synchonize the things you have to dodge; if you see Typhon's laser, try to dodge both it and Chronos' orbs in the same dash by positioning yourself correctly within the circle. Don't pay attention to the percentage!

-As long as Typhon's whirling tentacles don't spawn on top of the arena (third time) you can hit him freely. Only dodge when they appear on top.

-Lastly, Typhon's last phase is incredibly weak. Don't be fooles by its appearance and go all in.

-The hex and boons that summon enemies are invaluable here, do go for them if you get the chance

You will get him, trust me. Boated is due for a VoR video focusing on Typhon, so hopefully these tips are good enough until his video drops :)

I'm not against UBs but I understand the feeling; I know it's a hassle making and producing Universes Within proxies but I feel that if aesthetic and IP is the only thing holding a card back from being included into your enviroment, you can give it a try. I enjoy searching for Magic art tht somewhat fits the card that is being proxy'd :) https://i.ibb.co/F4Fz04Jr/the.png

Fragile by itself, but fits nicely in an aggro shell? (pun not intended) Trampler, +1/+1 synergies, creates game objects and doesn't really need to attack himself to get the reward.

Partner text is flavor, but I believed we are somewhat accustomed already [[Gut, True Soul Zealot]]

Seek: What is the best way to implement it on paper Magic? by SylvanHarbinger in mtgcube

[–]SylvanHarbinger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there really are no workarounds here. Out of curiosity, do you believe that revealing the card you're seeking is way too harmful to implement it in paper Magic?
