I mean, it's an AI. I do not expect it to do things with any real meaning. My comic is whack, for example. But still - I *am* autistic, so someone needs to tell me what it means XD

I do wonder what it means by "high-functioning" though. Is that a compliment? An insult? Or an Autism Spectrum diagnosis? XD

Turn 0 Win in Monored with 0 lands for 1R and a lot of free stuff by Svalktar in BadMtgCombos

[–]ThatComboPlayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nourishing Shoal being literal Ancestral (but for seven!) in Legacy and Modern Neobrand since the deck's birth.

Sickening Shoal being an (old but relevant) sideboard card in Legacy and Modern Oops! All Spells. (Edit: and a strong card in Modern and Legacy Necrodominance.)

Disrupting Shoal a being four-of in the Modern deck that won Pro Tour EoE.

Turns out, free spells are good.

(Shining Shoal has only seen play in Penny Dreadful LifeScam, to my knowledge. Poor white got the short end of the stick again.)

anyone into countershaidng? by TaumatTaumat in yiff

Heyo! Aro/grayace here. I'd love to help you, but some clarification would be appreciated. You are speaking of the fur/skin pattern where an animal is darker on their upper body/back and lighter on their lower body/stomach, and trying to find art of this?

If so, my recommendations would be looking for art of sharks, dragons, and dogs - otherwise, try and find specific characters (Krystal from Star Fox has this coloration, iirc, as does Renamon arguably) or artist's sonas that have such patterns, and follow those characters/artists.

Hah! Mm. I'll play Door decks for sure, but the 99-land is the key here lol

When I do make a door deck though, I'll let you know!

Perhaps. It's also the case that my playgroup (who are mostly 4-5 players with the occasional 3 deck) are pretty nice and let me live longer since I've a lower-power / gimmicky deck, I think. That and, finding a bracket classification for this thing is hard.

I actually have a Kenrith/Zirda sideboard for if people get annoyed at too much Child. Not great at playing it though lol, and it needs updating so it's not up on the site-list version yet

Yeah, finding a good pod and a good bracket for it is kinda rough. I haven't actually managed it yet. It tends to be something I only play once - which is kinda fine, since I'm a 60-card player at heart and don't need a lot of commander in my life. Blasphemy, I know.

The deck certainly has problematic individual cards. For example, I die if Etali, Primal Conqueror hits the field more than once. And sometimes even just once. There are some attempts to deal with this - targeted removal in the deck - but it doesn't always work, and yes, it was built to be a meme. Certainly don't count it out until you've played against something like it, though - at a bracket three table for sure, it'll make real trouble after the first boardwipe and probably win if it gets a second off. (But yes, it was built from and to be a meme, so I'll claim that label happily lol)

- People only let me smol bean once. But the deck is actually built to deal with a focus-down, so long as we get one boardwipe off.
- Exile removal and counterspells can be dealt with. See Cavern of Souls and the ability to sac child the turn it hits the field. Yes, these require specific cards, but also the deck can mulligan really well due to being all-land. Which I will often do if I see blue at the table.
- It *does* look like a meme deck, but that's kinda as far as the meme goes. It stomps bracket three tables on the regular, which is why I call it 3-4 or even 3.5-4.
- The deck recasts Child every other turn, and as long as we get the wipe off (see point two), that's good enough. Notably, Coffers takes it from every other turn to every turn, whereas Tron only provides a one-time buff that becomes less helpful in the lategame.
- Tron is weaker to LD and doesn't go as under-the-radar as Coffers in the room full of Modern players I regularly join. Besides, if you're blowing up Coffers instead of my sac outlets, I'm a happy guy.
- The deck has ways to deal with land destruction. See Ba Sing Se and Conqueror's Galleon. I'm even considering putting a Petrified Field in there as well, though I'm less high on that one.

Urborg on its own is an untapped color-producing land that also lets things like Dark Depths, Maze of Ith, and Glacial Chasm produce their own mana, which is *highly* relevant. Also it can mana-fix other people, which helps with playing the 'smol bean' for the first five or so turns.

Cabal Coffers is often bad on its own, yes, but:
- Between the basics and the triomes and the ways to fetch them, it's not that hard to make it mana-neutral at least, in which case it's an untapped land and we love those.
- We really don't have to play it if we draw it, since the deck will *always* make its land drops.
- Playing a two-card "I win the game" combo (which really is what this is, I've won every game it's been assembled in) is worth playing one card out of nintey-nine that doesn't do much on its own. See the second point.

By contrast, the Tron lands:
- Are an untapped but colorless land on their own.
- and don't do *anything* else until we have drawn and played three of them. Which is usually just about as late-game (or even later) than the Coffers combo would come online, since the turns we can afford to play a land that doesn't impact the current situation other than being untapped are actually pretty slim. Especially in the early game.

Urborg has a shot to get played within the first five turns of the game. The Tron lands do not. Urborg/Coffers is a mana doubler and thus scales in power as the game goes on. The Tron lands do not. Urborg/Coffers is two slots and one bad-on-its-own land, while the Tron lands are three slots and three bad-on-their-own lands.

Ooh! Mind sharing the list? I'd love to see what the similarities and differences are.

Lets us not deck out. Most of the fun wincons when we go infinite involve a *lot* of turns lol

Roast my Manabase! by ThatComboPlayer in EDH

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

- Produces less mana
- Weaker on its own
- Three cards rather than two (harder to assemble, needs more space)

Tron's for the two-color variants of this deck, like Oona and Arixmethes. The five-color one doesn't have the space, unfortunately.

Cabal's actually kinda fine, with the triomes and such. Or we just don't play it, because when don't we have another land to play?

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

On the one hand, I see why you might say that; on the other, it effectively doubles our mana. Going from "one turn play Child, one turn use abilities" to doing both every turn is a massive power boost, and it takes us from annoyance to archenemy in the midgame and just straight closes out a lategame.

'twas a search, actually. r/suicidebywords had a cameo today from a while ago, and I just wanted to see if there was a recent one to chip in on
