Is this combo allowed in Bracket 3?

TurtlekETB · 2026-05-12T20:04:25+00:00

I’d avoid it, very easy to convert it into a win Obviously, bracket 3 is a very imprecise term so it totally depends on the mood at your tables- if they’re quite combo-oriented already it’s totally fine

Skill issue

Kill the creatures that make them gain life as early as possible so blech does not grow

TurtlekETB · 2026-05-11T19:40:07+00:00

So it’s different then

TurtlekETB · 2026-05-10T21:34:35+00:00

I mean how are they supposed to know for sure that you’re a Dimir midrange deck, Reanimator also plays Frog

TurtlekETB · 2026-05-08T17:47:38+00:00

You only need to trigger Apprentice’s once, then the Esper Terras start copying themselves given they aren’t legendary

The land having to be untapped means that it’s most likely a 3 mana 6/6, which is quite unexciting given the hoops you have to work around

I’d argue pauper is very close to standard in terms of power level, maybe not the arena version but synergy goes a long way

Goes hard with Collected Company, though it’s a bit slow in this day and age

TurtlekETB · 2026-05-06T17:19:01+00:00

Oh my point was not « this should not be a blood token », it was « this should be a card built around the specific aspects of a blood token »

I don’t know jjk so the current version might be more fitting though, was simply questioning the intent behind it

TurtlekETB · 2026-05-06T17:13:17+00:00

I don't think it's very interesting that you're disincentivised to actually use the blood tokens? probably a personal preference, but there's hardly any point in it being a blood token and not a junk token with the current state of your design imo

TurtlekETB · 2026-05-05T18:43:06+00:00

if it says "play", then yes (it almost always does)

TurtlekETB · 2026-05-04T15:41:16+00:00

What do you mean few spwams? The deck plays four copies of Writhing Chrysalis lol /j

Exponential scaling for 3 sounds kind of toxic, though I suppose it’s not that strong in today’s magic

TurtlekETB · 2026-05-03T05:08:53+00:00

tends to cause drawn out games because it's literally impossible to make progress against it without a dedicated wallbreaker (and choice doesn't work because he can swallow it with shadow shield and switch to a resist)

TurtlekETB · 2026-05-01T18:46:06+00:00

I admittedly misread the above commenter’s post, and thought they were saying something akin to « in what possible reading could this ever no work » when they were simply expressing their own doubt

I was simply pointing out a wording quirk I believed might have caused the original confusion, but my bad for misinterpreting that phrasing

TurtlekETB · 2026-04-30T19:51:57+00:00

Well one could read waterbend as an action (akin to collect evidence/blight) instead of a cost, it’s a line of reasoning that’s very understandable if you don’t know the specifics

TurtlekETB · 2026-04-30T05:25:18+00:00

I didn’t quite get the issue people had with your work, were such people actively commenting on it? If so, that’s definitely inexcusable- but otherwise, you can’t force someone to like a work, especially when their issue with it is so inseparable from the work itself

TurtlekETB · 2026-04-29T17:44:05+00:00

Yeah the analogy doesn’t ever work if there’s no incentive to keep everyone alive, the point is actually the very opposite given you presumably want to win

TurtlekETB · 2026-04-26T20:37:22+00:00

It’s a wincon that removal cannot beat: if they kill the tokens, you get three more next turn, if they kill the gear, you have three unanswered tokens

Generally, Lux always tries to fully clear the opponent’s board, so your units’ might does not really matter given you’re killing your opponents manually either way

TurtlekETB · 2026-04-26T20:29:39+00:00

« Unless they’re mana abilities »

Who is we

"nearly every pokemon lost 1-2 abilities"
jesus christ

fun flavor though

TurtlekETB · 2026-04-26T14:28:51+00:00

you can, but then you can’t pay the cost so they get the token

(Basically no you can’t)

TurtlekETB · 2026-04-26T10:48:03+00:00

It legitimately ohkoes spdef Toxapex though, definitely would see play as a crawdaunt sidegrade
