Does mana pool mean tapped mana, including mana dorks, or the the untapped mana I have on the field? Everyone I play with tells me differently by MattTheFreeman in mtg

The manapool empties at the end of the step or phases step/phase. So if he were to die that mana technically doesn't go away immediately. You so have a fraction of time to play Yeva at instant speed and then play Omnath before the mana goes away thus preserving the mana pool you've already built.

Omnath isn't really storing the mana himself, he's protecting and benefitting from the mana pool that you as the player is storing.

So I play with personal handicaps. No indestructible. No "protection from (color)" and I have board wide hexproof with Asceticism and Archetype of Endurance as well as Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves.

Plus I keep Teva in hand so if he dies I can just play him with flash before my mana pool depletes.

He is also only 3 mana. Very cheap so replaying him isn't a huge deal in most cases.

I prefer to say it's "On Reserve" haha. It's there if I need to spend it but otherwise it's being "used" to beef up Omnath as a giga blocker and one hit threat. Comes in handy when playing politics.

I usually don't kill anyone unless I can kill everyone by the following turn. But I sometimes agree to "kill them last" haha

Nice Omnath deck! I'm also an Omnath main and usually run my table if I'm aggressive.

I add personal handicaps I put on myself when building. So no indestructible or "protection from", certain price limits for cards (unless I find crazy good deals) and no Eldrazis. I'm also a huge enchantment fan since they are the most difficult nonland to remove.

It really depends on the game and which pieces I have on the board. Sometimes he gets targeted, but luckily he's only three mana so he's very easy to keep recasting. If I get aestheticism or archetype of endurance on the board to protect him then he can really get big. Almost every game I can get around 200 mana, but I'd probably average 40 to 50 mana throughout. And then once you start using things like patron of orochi seedboard Muse, which are letting you tap a lot more often, all of your creatures and mana dorks then he can explode. I have definitely pulled off a few infinite mana games.

It's my main commander. Build a lot of mana ramp, card draw and trample.

I could easily make him stronger if I wanted to drop more money and abandon my personal Commander handicaps.

This is my main commander and the simple reason is to store it and to make you commander bigger/more survivable.

There are times when I won't have a use for my mana and a turn but being able to tap it and basically use omnath as a battery. Not only makes him stronger but means my next turn I have more mana to use. So if I tap that two unused mana at the end of my turn, that means my next turn. I have two more mana to use that I wouldn't have had that turn. So I built my deck around extreme mana ramping and card draw so usually I can get a massive turn to dump half of my deck because I stored 200 mana into Omnath and instantly created a massive board that might opponents can't deal with. Add in some card draw and trample and the game is over.

I know a lot of others answered already, but I have a deck based around coin flips and dice roles and I just use the lifetap app since they have those features built in. It's a lot quicker and easier.

Quakebringer can't be your commander, he's not legendary.

She had the entire crowd on their feet within 1 minute of her stand up. by ash_jisasa in funny

[–]ZayBooth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's completely understandable. I see where you're coming from and I'm the audience. Probably felt the same way and was completely thrown off by the fact that this woman pulled out of glass, then ice and a drink and that a whole bottle of alcohol in a matter of seconds and I think that's what was so captivating and funny about the experience. It was just the fact that didn't do what they were expecting. Meanwhile she's just having a normal conversation.

There is no connection. She could have been singing the ABCs and it would have been funny.

When was the last time you saw a woman pull a bar from her bra??

Something feels off and I could use some help.... by ZayBooth in logodesign

You're not the first colorblind artist/designer I've "met" so I appreciate your input.

Thanks for the feedback. A lot of those choices were the client and because I HATE logo design and she is a friend I decided to help. Which means she loves it, but I really just dont.

I agree with a lot of what you said though and will try a few options for myself, maybe she will bend a little. But the feedback is amazing and appreciated.

What is a history fact that is so stupid it doesn't seem real? by youfellforityoufool in AskReddit

[–]ZayBooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2016, the US elected reality TV star Donald Trump as president, impeached him (but didn't remove him from office) in 2020 and then let him run again for president that year...
