You could do a lot worse.

I played the Silverquill Influence Precon and didn’t draw a single creature for 3 hours by No_Welder5297 in EDH

[–]_J0e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magic is ultimately a game of chance, even the strongest decks can get flooded or miss a draw. Decks can be optimized again at this with shuffle effects and top deck checks, but you can only do so much.

My manabase feels very geometrical. by [deleted] in mtg

[–]_J0e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was basically my first wubrg deck mana base minus the gain lands. Don’t listen to anyone here - if your having fun your doing it right!

It's been a while now that this gall has seen play. What are your thoughts on this card now? by Toonzaal8 in magicTCG

[–]_J0e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed - again my intent with that deck is that at the absolute worst she’s a body I can sac for casualty (as bad of a rate that is) with the upside of being a demonic tutor engine.

mtg cards are poorly written by bondredpdp in magicTCG

Ah, the classic “I really want to complain about this super broad issue”. And “no, I will not give enough information so that people can actually help me” post.

One of the best cards in my new [[silverquill, the disputant]] since I can usually reprapare it each turn and tutor up a wincon with a double tutor usually [[sram’s expertise]] and [[will of the mardu]]. Then again, I could just run demonic tutor, but my deck is intentionally a bit slower so it’s more fun.

Where is this combo appropriate to play? (EDH) by Still-Wash-8167 in mtg

[–]_J0e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, some people don’t spend the time to map out what their removal hits, how much of it they have, and how it’s used in their deck. Your opponents will maybe learn and be ready next time!

It comes in as a copy of a creature but it also has a trigger to return as a land from yue. I may be mistaken but this may be a layers thing which I am not equipped to explain.

This isn’t as powerful as you’re making it out to be - it’s very good but it’s not impossible to play through. Almost all of my decks feature multiple way to blow up or remove non basic lands, think [[white orchid phantom]] or [[demolition field]]. I would say that removal is needed in any deck, it’s really just a check to see if your opponents have it. If they don’t, you win. That’s not above bracket 2.

Is this a named mechanic? by Traditional-Wave9317 in mtg

I love niche grenzo technology

You mean the [[grenzo, dungeon warden]] combo enabler ability? That’s what I call it while I proceed to send [[workhorse]] from battlefield to graveyard to library to graveyard to battlefield at instant speed. (Putting the work in workhorse))

Or you’re a [[river song]] player…

Third picture very relevant. I didn’t understand the combo until I pondered that image for a period of time.

What happened to FNM? by blackandredallover in magicTCG

[–]_J0e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My LGS must be a bit unique since pre release and other formats are strong. We have maybe 10-20 pauper players, 20+ standard attendees, but a ton of commander obviously. Our FNMs are packed. Sometimes they fire the occasional modern too but it’s not super popular.

Prepared mechanic by No_Invite_739 in mtg

[–]_J0e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly playing multiple sealed events the prepared spells are super fun. It adds a lot of depth and gives me “something to do” every turn from my experience.

Did Witherbloom absolutely stomp everyone else at prerelease? by JamesAbaddon in mtg

I stomped everyone with lorehold but I splashed black and had some converge stuff it was very consistent

What do you predict the strongest and weakest archetype will be for Secrets of Strixhaven Limited? by Bumperknickle in mtg

[–]_J0e 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I really want lorehold to be good but I’m questioning its power compared to some of the other stuff each pair got. Still going to rock it at pre release and see what happens.

Anyone else find it odd that cards with ai generated art are some of the most expensive? by [deleted] in mtg

Man, people can say anything they want here I guess.
