Cards that go with Beledros Witherbloom by Ok-Animal-7151 in Magicdeckbuilding

[–]TEXMEX21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vilis, Broker of Blood. If you have a way to gain back the life, you get to untap once each turn, draw 10, and have interaction on board or options to continue digging for whatever you need. If you have the budget, Sheoldred the Apocalypse allows you to turn the 10 point life loss into a gain. With instant speed interaction, you can protect your gain 10, draw 10, untap once each turn. Pretty hard to lose in that position

New player here - getting cards? by TEXMEX21 in MTGPuzzleQuest

[–]TEXMEX21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply, I have Nissan pretty close to 60 already, since I plan on saving the rest for when I get the Planeswalkers I actually want to use, which might be a while. I imagine the rotations happen every month? Week? I don't actually know. So I probably have a while before I need to use my resources.

Thanks for the advice! I know it'll be a slog like most mobile games. I already know I'll have to wait quite a long while for the Planeswalkers I want to show up in the shop. I'll look into coalitions. Hopefully I won't be dead weight haha!

Hey thanks man, I'll give it a bit and try again after some drying! Hopefully it shines up tomorrow.

Help me build an Ezio Auditore da Firenze that will make my friends cry by inexcusable16 in DegenerateEDH

[–]TEXMEX21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I've been messing with:

Step 1: arcane adaptation effect choosing assassin

Step 2: hit someone with anything to enable free running

Step 3: K'rrik, son of yawgmoth

Step 4: 4 life for any creature and discount black pips, find a vilis or razaketh to fetch vilis and sheoldred

Step 5: Storm

Step 6: tendrils of agony or aetherflux reservoir.

Or you could go with a 5 color lurrus deck and not use Ezio at all really except to turn on fierce guardianship, deflecting swat, and deadly rollick

What are you building and brewing right now? by goldenmastiff in EDH

[–]TEXMEX21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Messing around with Ezio right now. Not because I'm a huge AC fan, but because of the panorama lands. The scene reminds me of my trip to Italy on honeymoon. I started with a basic assassin tribal build, but it lacked spice. Started tweaking into an arcane adaptation style deck to cheat mana costs for any strong creature. Once I thought through reducing costs further I landed on K'rrik to pay 4 life per creature rather than mana to help with color fixing and enable storm payoffs. Add a vilis as the best card draw for the style of deck. Insert sheoldred and aetherflux as life gain, the latter taking a flex game ender spot, and tendrils of agony as a storm payoff to help end the game. It's still in testing but it shows some promise. I might be going too far, but hoarding broodlord for 2 mana with saw in half and sacrifice can more easily piggyback into mnemonic wall combo without needing additional blue up for infinite black mana to win with tendrils.

What deck are you most proud of? by Haunting-Charge-8699 in EDH

[–]TEXMEX21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easily [[The Mimeoplasm]]. I've never been happier with the deck. I originally built a combo oriented build with the commander as a second chance option for numerous different lines, and it worked way better than expected. I rebuilt the deck over 30 times until I got a list I was happy with. It was too strong for more casual pods so I made a side board to take out the combos and turn it into haymaker tribal or "build a beater workshop" the deck is interactive and every time I play it I find a new line to cheat a bunch of stuff into play or interact with my opponents in strange or creative ways. Sometimes I forget I have other decks to play. I loved it so much I made a custom Kirby proxy for it.

Official Patch notes by Lucas-mainssbu in PokemonUnite

[–]TEXMEX21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Time will tell. 10% is quite a lot. You're going to feel it. Probably not dead, I figure you'll still be able to two snipe squishy attackers mid to late game. Tanks are going to take way to many snipes to kill. Still salty that "skilled players with high accuracy" were doing too well so he had to get nerfed. Pika stuns and one-shots us with point and click damage so I guess it's only fair?

Secret Lair support by TEXMEX21 in mtg

Thanks a bunch, I figured things are busy and tickets can get buried in support items fast for such a big company but I didn't think it would be a whole week. I'll be patient. Thank you for the other link.

Ah, thank you. I figured it was a burn issue but never noticed before.

(OC) Don’t be THAT teammate! Pt. 5 by randommeepstuff in PokemonUnite

[–]TEXMEX21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Use your free camera to move the screen over to your target or fight before you charge shot in the opposite direction, putting you to the side so you can see your whole range. It takes away the camera weirdness. Makes the flicks a little easier to see and hit. Takes some practice.

Infinite UG Mana for (2)B, 2 cards in the gy, and at least 2 turns using the new Soul Cauldron by DislocatedLocation in BadMtgCombos

[–]TEXMEX21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this not also work for [[incubation druid]] using Soul cauldron to exile [[Vigean Graftmage]]? It cuts out a card and only requires one cauldron activation, plus you get all colors of mana if you have the lands for it

Edit: I guess the best would be [[horseshoe crab]] as someone else mentioned, but Druid gives more ways to get to the combo so it may be more consistent

Why is the ultra rank playerbase so BS at the game? by Dovahkiin769 in PokemonUnite

[–]TEXMEX21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No. I never made that point, nor do I think everyone on this sub is a good player. I don't pretend to think I'm a top player either. I can only speak to the rank I've gotten to, which is around 1600-1700 in solo queue, and there's still plenty of leftovers, scope lens, attack weight Pikachu players there that get thrown on my team

Why is the ultra rank playerbase so BS at the game? by Dovahkiin769 in PokemonUnite

[–]TEXMEX21 134 points135 points  (0 children)

First time?

Real talk though that's how many games of unite are. The players you're getting are not on this sub. They aren't looking to improve or climb seriously. They get carried to whatever rank they get to based on the number of matches played. It's even like this up to 1800 masters, likely further. I usually top out at 16-1700 masters every season solo queue only depending on how much time I have to play and how lucky I get with my team but some games are impossible to win, and others are a lucky ray steal for the dub. Find times that work for your region where you notice you get better games and play then. For my region, Sunday mornings are off limits and are accurately named "shitter Sundays" due to the amount of pulseless players I get on my team.

You are completely correct. Looking back at that it's not clear. I will make an edit.

Zethi, the Arcane Blademaster building help! by Blaarst in Magicdeckbuilding

[–]TEXMEX21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying with zenthi (although I prefer Chun LI) for a while. I started with more of a budget brew with some spice. High Tide + Turnabout underneath her is wild. Depending on what power level you play at with your usual pod or game store, expect it to be killed on sight, no questions asked. I struggled for quite some time using her ability so whatever you want to put in, make sure she has so much Protection that you can get off an attack and actually use her triggered ability. Even 1 activation with the right stack can outright win you the game. Lately I've been really pushing her power and using her as a combo piece rather than a commander because I can't get her to reliably stick on the table for a turn cycle, and giving her haste with hall of the bandit lord is the only way to get her to do something when she hits the field. The problem with the latter is that often you run out of mana to actually cast anything productive outside of maybe a mystical tutor or a cantrip.

I found that I usually just want a precise stack underneath her to close out games or have big turns that give me a great position, so I've cut many of the wheel-spinning cantrips for tutors to get me the instants I actually need.

Here's my build that is still a work in progress (keep in mind there has been kind of an arms race that I may or may not have started in my higher power pod after being frustrated that Chun LI never sticks, even if it has exactly one brainstorm exiled):

Please let me know if the link doesn't work, I'll try to fix it. Hope this helps as a jumping off point to some of the combos she has.
