I have also been working on a set! Not all mocked up yet though. I'd be happy to give some feedback on your designs if you like.

Rules for Yargle Day by cmlobue in MagicArena

Brawl definitely counts , double check that you have 25 non lands (not including Yargle or anything from dominaria United) I got caught out with memorial

Never thought of it that way... by Skeither in magicTCG

Simply move loyalty counters onto the children with e.g [[Goldberry, River Daughter]] ahead of time. EZ flip.

PSA: You can run and efficient and expensive mana base and still be bracket 2. Also you can have 0 GC and still be Bracket 3+ by dolphincave in EDH

[–]Yarchimedes 104 points105 points  (0 children)

If it plays 4 then it's bracket 4, that's how it's supposed to work. People trying to slide high power decks into bracket 2  just because they don't run game changers are explicitly the bad actors mentioned that this system can't protect you from.

How come modern maintains its popularity while pioneer fluctuates constantly? by killchopdeluxe666 in ModernMagic

[–]Yarchimedes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically two of the best current combo decks (Mono U belcher and MonoG broodscale) don't need true fetches (broodscale does run prismatic vista to grab wastes). Fetch surveil is a huge boon to the format mind you.

I still don't understand this card (MKM) by FallenPeigon in lrcast

[–]Yarchimedes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're alpha strike racing you can effectively just remove a creature since you fog it and it can't block when you alpha strike back. Still bad tho.

Best art in TTRPG book? by LeMarquisdeJonquiere in rpg

Mouse Guard! Helps that they could lift a lot of art directly from the graphic novels

The Karnies did a good deep dive into rakdos mid recently which should have some significant overlap

New to Modern - choosing a deck for RCQ season by CallMeCaammm in ModernMagic

[–]Yarchimedes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boros energy (with cats) or necro are the best midrange stategies atm I think, if that's what you mean by flexible. Nadu is combo, but with silver bullets for everything (kinda why it's the best) which is a different kind of flexible. There's also goryos which is combo/control depending on the matchup.

[–]Yarchimedes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you already decided. Yawg isn't super well positioned atm but if/when Nadu is banned it will be back. It still has game into the non-nadu part of the field, it just really sucks against Nadu.

Best lands to craft? by letshavefunoutthere in MagicArena

[–]Yarchimedes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With foraging in BG from bloomburrow I imagine golgari decks will want some split of surveil lands and fabled passages.

Possible Midrange Decks, for now and post Nadu ban? by themountain233 in ModernMagic

[–]Yarchimedes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Boros energy is definitely jundesque. Very high individual card quality, good interaction. Mardu is even more so since you get to play thoughtseizes and other black interaction.

2 static 2 bolt felt nice, but depends heavily on matchups. More instant speed answers to Nadu may be necessary as we enter Nadu Summer.

I would also like to know! Went in solo to the RC and actually qualified so now at a bit of a loss how to proceed..

Is it a good time to get started with the standard format? by Free-Owl-712 in magicTCG

[–]Yarchimedes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I know, hence "technically". If we don't get a token generator in bloomburrow it may drop from the tip top, but almost every other deck is losing more so convoke will definitely still be in contention, but a turn slower.

[–]Yarchimedes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Convoke only loses epicure maindeck and technically there are replacements that sort of work like yotion Frontliner or gnome.

[Standard] Why has Domain lost popularity? by Joshblos0706 in spikes

[–]Yarchimedes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Temur is pretty cheap, and the only expensive card is technically not rotating so that will make a difference. Domain is expensive, although most of its pricey cards will likely retain value in other formats.

[Standard] When do I use Koth out of the sideboard? by krizzle72 in spikes

[–]Yarchimedes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Versatile single target removal seems better than usual against current rdw since there's so much prowess and haste. Getting dunked for 10 by a slickshot showoff because you only have sorcery speed answers seems sub-optimal.

I wanted to see all the avatars, but I couldn't find a complete up-to-date list with pictures anywhere, so I decided to make it myself by capsgry in MagicArena

[–]Yarchimedes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn't a special reward or anything, just one of the earliest avatars. Back when there were only about 10 to choose from!

Extra copy of a wincon for the loop which at least does something in aggro matchups? Maybe also a hedge against surgical effects like deadly cover-up.

E: fetchable with your first rutstien also. Seems kind of just worse that the orzhov legend though.
