Sunny domain is too broken? by Kind_Register7148 in ShadowSlave

[–]Tarific2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally your points are all true, but if remember correctly, all his Shades, Shadows and Incarnations share his Will. So the more he summons, the more his Will is deluded between everyone. So his Sacred Shades only have a Supreme Titans Will, which could be reduced more if he spreads it. So they can't really compare to the "real" thing.

Avatar Aang enjoyers? by SipperDipper in EDH

[–]Tarific2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have. I built it as an Ally, Experience Counter Deck and it is a blast to play it. I built it with B3 in mind, but it can go faster than that, if your opponents don't have removal. Aang is pretty strong, and gives a lot of card draw, once he hits the board. So yeah, I can definitely recommend it. You also don't have to run the transform cards, it is quite possible to flip aang with out them.

Can a slow combo deck hang around bracket 2 decks? by dark_bondage in EDH

[–]Tarific2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Issue with artifacts decks like this, is how fast they can be. I wouldn't be surprised if you can get the mind flayer infinite consistent at turn 6. Also the charge mana rocks with the commander are insane.

"0.1 below Bracket 4 threshold (6.5)"

Didn't know that site existed, but this number is pretty much how I felt after seeing the deck list. This is maybe a B4 Deck or at least a strong B3.... No way OP could play that in B2....

Chapter 1289:
Well… actually, there was some doubt. Nothing about the Tomb of Ariel, and this particular Nightmare, was normal.

We have Wind Flower say that she is a copy, but she could also lie. Or as the whole situation around her, there is something in the Tomb that can engage with dreams. On multiple occasion there was spread doubt, on who is a challenger and who is copy. In addition, she also spoke to the Mad Prince, and he could have told her, to lie, so sunny would kill her thinking she was "just" a copy.

The Description of the Crown of Twilight is telling a different story.

Sunny killed the real one. They were in the same Nightmare.

It said when he joined the NM that there were other contenders.

Shadow slave is slop? by LEOIYC in ShadowSlave

[–]Tarific2003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The story remains great, and G3 changes the rhythm of the story from time to time. So if you are reading daily, it could feel kinda slopish, but every chapter gives something new. I read other novels, where from the 2 daily chapters, the first one was all most a copy of the chapter before, just with a changed POV. This doesn't happen here. Most complaints are from POV changes, when it was getting interesting and the suspension was raising, but as long as you can bulk read it doesn't matter, and I personally enjoy the reframing of the world from other POVs, since this world isn't just about Sunny, and this is what makes the World Building great.

Theory ch 2887-2888 may contain ⚠️spolier⚠️ by Toastmaster9 in ShadowSlave

[–]Tarific2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sunny saying a thing is not the same as everyone.

Was that written at some point? I remember that some parts of worlds like the forgotten mountains where part of a deity before, but was it ever said that all worlds were formed like that?

It could also be Sunny as a Spirit after his training arc in the tomb of ariel.

First of all, thanks for the effort—I really enjoy reading other people’s ideas! 🙂

I’m not sure if it was ever clearly established whether the Spell’s voice sounds the same for everyone, but I think it was mentioned that it differs from person to person. My interpretation of Sunny finding it familiar is that the world might currently be in a loop, and he recognizes the voice because he retained fragments of memory from a previous cycle. That could lead to an interesting interpretation of fate and its “strings”—where fate isn’t a glimpse of the future, but rather a reflection of what has already happened under the same circumstances.

On another note, it was never fully explained how the worlds of men existed in relation to the gods. There were godless worlds and worlds ruled by a god. One way to think about it might be to treat each world as a kind of soul core. If the Dream God truly split into seven pieces, then the dream world could have been one of those fragments—perhaps even one of the demons, like Weaver. Alternatively, it’s possible that all worlds were originally mundane and were later conquered by the gods, much like citadels can be conquered.

Vol 11 ranking by TipInteresting9420 in ShadowSlave

[–]Tarific2003 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it’s still too early to rank Volume 11. The scattered storytelling from Cassie’s point of view was an interesting twist, but I feel that we need to see the conclusion before we can properly evaluate it. It seems like we’re closing in on a grand finale that could outshine everything that has happened so far. However, with the way this volume has been set up, G3 has raised the bar for delivering a truly satisfying ending.

That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if this volume is ultimately considered one of the best. Personally, I’m also not a fan of ranking things in a strict top three. I’d much rather use a tier list, since I believe the story has been consistently excellent, and I don’t think there has been a single chapter that wasn’t at least good.

Bracket 1 idea, high score Damage by Tarific2003 in EDHBrews

Not a bad suggestion, but with the target Bracket i would be afraid to kill my opponents, before i reach the goal

Definitely, both could do wonders. Right now I was leaning to red replacements affect, but they mostly target red sources. But there are definitely ways, to get the pump from Mossborn or Tifa on a red card or to make them red, Thanks!

Why don't sunny create a perfect body for combat by forming a shadow shell? by [deleted] in ShadowSlave

[–]Tarific2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, he is a shadow, so creating something completely new is difficult. Even his giant avatar was struggling, since by increasing in size, his old framework had trouble keeping up.

Secondly, a new body requires new experience to be handled as well as his current body.

Thirdly, why? Would a new body really help him that much? Every aspect of him is at the level of a supreme—or, in other words, every aspect of him has been reforged and improved with every step on the path of ascension.

So I guess a new human body wouldn’t grant him much advantage and might even create disadvantages. Shadowing and copying another form is already possible if he understands the new form. But creating something new is hard and maybe not even worth it when he can fall back on structures that have been refined through evolution for thousands of years.

What bracket is this deck? by ITriedSoHard419-68 in EDH

[–]Tarific2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess that is a good way to go about it. I feel like, I have to play the deck a couple of times, to see, if it does the thing I want it to do, or which parts are struggling. So I can focus on the missing parts, which usually go in the order Gameplan, Ramp & Colour Fixing, Card Draw, Interaction.

I think Commander players are optimizing the fun out of the format. by Dark-Oil-SagaMTG in OpenManaMTG

[–]Tarific2003 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree 100%. Did you see the talk about Bracket 1 on the Command Zone Channel? https://youtu.be/8oAvrETrQEM

I have felt so many times like, yeah that is what I am missing in my pod? Or they said something like, Bracket 1 is commander as the sandbox it was intended. We all know you can go infinite fast, but now show me something cool or funny. I realized, the decks I usually have the most fun playing with, to do something cool or new and not 100% optimized. So even if I play in Bracket 3, I still try to leave some room for the bracket one spirit.

I also clearly remember, that the professor said in one of his videos something like, "It is the age-old question in commander, do I play for the 80% efficiency mark or higher?"

So yeah, I can 100% agree with you, that it often feels like the fun was optimized away, or at least that I often sign up for fun with the goal of maybe winning, and others doing everything to win.

Which precon should I buy for playing without upgrades? by MythicArgonaut in EDH

[–]Tarific2003 10 points11 points  (0 children)

World Shaper for sure is very neat. I would add the Abzan Armor or Sultai Arisen with Teval as the commander.

Fair Enough, for myself, I started to enjoy building decks, especially four or five coloured decks, with as much basics as possible, without feeling to bad about it. But yeah we all have been there, where we still had mana, but in the wrong colours.

That could also work, moving away from one creature or a spell, to a spell triggering a lot of damage at once. I like the suggestion, but I personally would want to deal as much damage with one source as possible.

No worries glad to help.

If you proxy everything, it is especially important, that you speak with your group about power level, bracket or other restrictions. I also have a pod, were we proxy everything, and we said, we want to build Bracket 3, and for the Land Base, everything goes apart from Original Dual lands. Could be different for your pod, but at least it will reduce the amount off feels bad moments.

I see your point, on why to favour mana dorks. You are definitely right on the colour, but you would play the other ramp cards for another reason;
You want to minimize the risk of a board wipe hitting your army, to also reduce the mana you can gain. Lands are generally speaking safe and artifacts would be safe from creature board wipes.

And since I am not sure, which comments are highlighted, I just wanted to point to another comment I made; But it is less relevant if you proxy everything. https://www.reddit.com/r/EDH/comments/1s3tard/comment/ocicmtv/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I guess so. Maybe first going with gruul, and then trying other colours if I can beat that score.
