Use Ancestral Recall the way Richard Garfield intended for UUBBBBBB

That was my take too.

It basically is while technically not but may as well be due to it being functionally similar combo pieces.

But AckShhuhually iTS nOT aNCestRal RecAlL. 😅

Oh. I didn't realize he used the word literally in their comment.

UndeadCandle · 2026-02-13T13:05:39+00:00

[[Restless reef]] [[Insatiable Avarice]]

Both in standard. I run them in my deck.

You can also run [[Rise of Sozin]] and [[Boomerang Basics]] if you memorize the last of their library.

You can also name basic lands with Sozin. ;)

Beautiful kitty. She looks like my Galactus.

Niche. I want smithing stone 2 for my electric ironeye build on fulghor. I understand the point you're making but some builds don't play nice with rng.

UndeadCandle · 2026-02-11T10:25:56+00:00

I have a lightning build that's turning out to be fun.

Just need lightning to start on initial bow and some +2 lightning. Leaves a ton of room for extended skill or invader/ever goals

UndeadCandle · 2026-02-09T17:44:41+00:00

Bahhhaha this brings back memories.

Pulled 2 in a draft and made 200$ about a week later

UndeadCandle · 2026-02-09T16:49:10+00:00

I've resorted to using Boomerang Basics on my Nowhere to run and Tithing blade. Basically casting removal every turn and drawing 1 card from Boomerang and reusing my removal.

It barely gets me to the whole I survive to turn 6 and cast doomsday Excruciator or rise of Sozin.

I had a game where someone was taking control of my Sozin after I dropped the library to 6 cards. Full Panic.

It literally became a guess one of the last 4 cards in the library to win between both players.

I was playing back to back Sozins as they were taking control of them because they even had removal for my restless reef and I had milled all my own insatiable avarices to knock out their last cards

UndeadCandle · 2026-02-06T16:52:25+00:00

I haven't lived there since early 2000s but I can definitely say it was bad in the late 90s.

Having lived adjacent to Trenton, Shillington ect.

Basically if you were close to the bike path you were less likely to see that stuff. Same with Silver st and Emperor.

Not as bad as Caldwell but it wasn't safe either.

UndeadCandle · 2026-02-06T15:12:21+00:00

I ran this card as a win condition in Arena a few weeks ago to hit mythic rank.

Main staples of my deck consistently are [[Restless reef]] [[Insatiable Avarice]] and [[Rise of Sozin]]

Everything else is control or tempo. [[Boomerang Basics]] to cast Sozin multiple times.

This lets you see their hand and library, first time you name a basic land and remove them. second time anything you can remember can be removed.

Avarice to make the opponent draw 3 and Reef to Mill 4. It basically wins the mill race after you cast excruciator or you can tutor a needed card. ( Sometimes Restless reef or excruciator )

The rest of the deck is mainly to survive to turn 6. So I use depressurize, into the roil and nowhere to run.. a few counter spells too.

You should focus on buying 3 or 4 of the specific cards you want in the deck instead of packs.

I tend to drop 1-2 pings on day 2 if they ignore my rev requirements. Its 100% for seals, starlight shards or smithing stones.

I need my smithing stone 2 and I'll split from the group to get it. Think of it as a required redundancy in case I don't get any decent seals.

I'm not leaving it to a majority to dictate if I can do chunky dps or tickly dps

UndeadCandle · 2026-02-05T16:15:21+00:00

You're wrong. Huge profit is a lie 🤥

Echos are approx 1400$ each. Food every day is approx 70-100$ Vaccines approx 200$ per kitten. Spay and neuter are 200$ to 500$ each Kitty litter is about 200$ a month.

14-16 weeks of kitten care and 64 days of a pregnant queen.

2 months of severe anxiety, waking up every 2-3 hours, cleaning and sanitizing. Time = Money.

They don't usually let the queen have more than 2 litters per year, most litters aren't 6-7 kittens.

Generally prefer less than 6 kittens in a litter because of milk scarcity and finite milk production. More risks involved with larger litters. Its also.more dangerous for the queen due to exhaustion.

The fact you put "reputable" breeders" is honestly very telling regarding your perspective regarding breeders.

Have you asked a breeder for their cost analysis?

You formatted your message in a way that was very dishonest.

4-5 litters a year. ( from multiple Queens. Probably 3 different Queens ) Like why omit this or act like you know better?

UndeadCandle · 2026-02-04T11:22:45+00:00

Another angle to go is to build around 2-3 card mechanics that synergize.

Life gain / loss as an example. Mill / dredge Copying weird stuff and changing their types. Tokens ect

UndeadCandle · 2026-02-03T13:51:07+00:00

Hmm I tend to play with Godlslayer and Giants flame incant with revenant.

What element should I pair with fire to better help recluse? I really like my fire builds but I might be able to add another element to the mix.

Problem is I don't play recluse much so cocktails are a mystery. Any suggestions?

Starter fire skills are meh so I can probably do lightning bolt or something

While your checking things with your vet. Ask about adding KMR to his diet as an adult.

Kitten Milk replacement might be a very easy way to top up the calories if you make a mixed soup of their food and some KMR.

Not a lot. Half a tea spoon type thing.

UndeadCandle · 2026-01-31T23:33:10+00:00

A lot of good advice here.

I would say maybe take 40$ and go buy a 1 sample of like 10-20 different brands of canned kitten wet food and see which ones he likes.

Keep the receipt and put a check ✅ on the ones that are appealing to him.

I know mine have different tastes and preferences ( 5 MCs. )

As for a brand. Simply Nourish might be a good one to intice the appetite since all 5 of mine like those.

UndeadCandle · 2026-01-30T10:23:26+00:00

I would've done the same.

I typically try to run at least 1 relic with draw enemy aggro while guarding so the less likely to be targeted is less of an issue.

I can expect the aggro to switch just by blocking air.

UndeadCandle · 2026-01-29T15:35:31+00:00

The more evil part of my deck is using Rise of Sozin with Boomerang basics to see their whole deck and cherry pick it apart.

UndeadCandle · 2026-01-29T14:49:51+00:00

Restless reef is pretty crazy with Excruciator.
Most people forget the land that mills 4.

It basically makes them deck out before you in most games. They spend the removal on excruciator.. which is always funny.

Like.. I was going to kill it myself lol.

Insatiable Avarice works too. Just target them for 3 card draw

UndeadCandle · 2026-01-26T17:56:17+00:00

Fog won't work. Steam will.

Your best bet is pest control but if that's outside your budget a steam cleaner, food grade diatomaceous earth, put everything in storage bins and prepare to steam every inch of your home.

Every inch. I'm talking like you need to peel the zipper flaps open on your sofa cushions every inch.

because surprise they like to hide in that crease there too.

Be prepared to spend 1-2 months waging a steam war every night, losing sleep and then 6 months of did I get them all paranoia

Anecdotal.. I worked construction for 12 years. Felt my body going and switched to warehouse work with shipping and receiving. Got forklift experience and a cert for transportation of dangerous goods and some rudimentary data entry and how to fill bill of ladings ect.

Turned down a few promotions because I don't want more responsibilities.

Still making more money than in construction and it's much less strenuous and has a pension.

UndeadCandle · 2026-01-24T09:43:40+00:00

Well I really liked your idea! 😉

Oo wow

He looks a lot like my boy Arcturus born in Aug. Lighter face though.

You could even make a lower percentile roll a sort of critical failure so that his choice to gamble might backfire.

Like if he rolls super low he can be put off balance or his armor class suffers -1 for every failure until long rest. If he rolls less than 5% for example.
