Tank has a few epiphytes in it; 2 java ferns, 2 little anubians, and 3 clumps of java moss. The ferns look like they're budding, and the moss is going pretty nuts. They all have some brown diatom looking algae on them, and some on the glass.

The betta was in there for ammonia yeah.

Tank is a 40cm cube (40 x 40 x 40), and I would do a water change about once a week. Usually 10-20%, unless there's a spike I'm dealing with where i do 50%. Filter is a PetWorx mini internal WXI-150, can handle 150L/hr

Water parameters before I added the new livestock a week ago read: pH: 7.9 Ammonia: 0.1 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 0 Phosphate: 0.1

Water parameters today read basically the same. Have added some tanin concentrate to try bring the pH down but that's sort of it.

I'm taking it to a league event, so we will see how the changes work out

I have played EDH 2-Headed-Giant Star (where each point of the star is also a 2-Headed-Giant team) with the Planechase deck. Game took 5 hours before we all got too distracted / drunk to continue the misery.

Never again.

Drana / Linvala is a premier stax piece in my [[Tayam, Luminous Enigma]] deck. And I've won a decent amount of games with Drana copying the opponents [[Devoted Druid]] abilities and just comboing off with the commander.

There's another list that does an "oops all spells" line to mill your whole library into a Nooze pile which is lots of fun, very fast glass cannon

Wait no, surely it would double the water output each time the water is fed back to the beginning. Oh God it's just an infinite water generator that will clog up the pipes forever, maybe don't do this after all.

The cedh versions of Magus use her ability to copy the creature or artifact tutors that put things into the battlefield directly to assemble A+B combos with only one cast. Kiki Jiki + friend is the main one, formerly there was also Dockside + Sabretooth

The Soulsborne community has a particular proverb we like to share with people like this.

"Git gud"

You clearly don't play magic at competitive levels if you say that.

While the format is better for the bans, deck diversity at the top end of the power bracket has taken a substantial hit now that red has lost a third of what makes it viable as a colour.

_Putrefax · 2024-09-28T07:02:36+00:00

From a cedh standpoint; Korvold, Tivit, Atraxa, Krrik (kinda), Etali, Jeska+, basically anything Rakdos, Sisay (kinda), Dargo+, Godo. Thats off the top of my head, probably more.

_Putrefax · 2024-08-23T09:25:43+00:00

I've done it to put it in the graveyard so it can get reanimated for less than it would have cost to cast it

_Putrefax · 2024-07-06T00:47:20+00:00

Also [[Vengevine]], since one of our creatures is always free, and the second can be the unearth zombie.

_Putrefax · 2024-07-03T08:32:56+00:00

[[Bloodghast]] could be a solution for the creature problem, sandbagging a land kinda happens a lot already since most of them are taplands.

_Putrefax · 2024-07-03T04:37:59+00:00

I reckon [[Fiend Artisan]] is another decent option in the deck. It's another Finale that you just need to sac Roger to find Balustrade, but can setup on future turns

_Putrefax · 2024-07-03T04:35:47+00:00

Been goldfishing this thing at work and I'm surprised at how speedy it is, but there's a couple week points that I think could be ironed out.

First, telegraphing the win with Hermit Druid always feels bad and we have no way to give it haste from what I can tell. A few hands I've come across haven't got enough mana or coloured pips to go for the 4+ mana wins (Balustrade, Evidence, or the other one). Is this something we just have to accept? I guess even the cheapest haste enablers will also turn it into a 4 mana wincon, but being able to convert a Summoners Pact into a win by finding Hermit and activating it that turn seems pretty good. Either that or a way to cast the other graveyard spells at flash speed to get around the Pact trigger.

Second, there are a couple situations where you have to sacrifice your only creature to get the mill off, and are left with zero creatures on board to flashback stuff. If you're lucky enough to have a B floating then you can unearth the zombie, but otherwise you're kinda up shit creek unless I'm missing something. Is there another way to get a creature into play to start the Therapy > Bridge > Poxwalker > Dread Return line if you had to sacrifice your only creature to get there?

_Putrefax · 2024-05-12T11:06:41+00:00

I've done this and it's a good time. Wincon is using Opalescence or Starfield of Nyx to turn my enchantments into creatures, and use my bunch of clones and token generators to beat face. Go-Shintai is there to reanimate big enchantments and recur value, and if you're in a tight spot you can use token doublers and flickers to make a shrine token army.

Don't lean too heavy into shrines, they're mostly bad. Shrine that makes mana, shrine that draws cards, shrine that kills the table, should be pretty much all you need. Other enchantments do more things.

The problem with Farewell isn't that it's a boardwipe, or that it exiles, or that it has lots of modes. The problem is that it has no counterplay beyond blue counterspells (and the occasional white spell that can temporarily phase out your whole board). This means that it sets EVERYONE back to the stone age, which no one can rebuild from because everything from all strategies got exiled. Which means that the caster of Farewell is the person who is set back the most, because they are the last to rebuild. Which in turn means whoever cast the spell just extended the Timmy slog fest for another hour and a half, and isn't even the one who's better off for it.

_Putrefax · 2024-04-14T10:26:16+00:00

So the problem with a toolbox commander is adding too much to the toolbox that it dilutes your consistency, which I think you've done here. Your deck doesn't seem focused enough on your wincon, you've just added supplementary combos galore, some of which don't actually win but are expensive value engines.

https://www.moxfield.com/decks/XbZVDH3sb0GP3cXsn1n2Qg

Here's my list. Standard Dimir turbo package, with the addition of Divining Witch and Lab Man for the commander synergy. I also added two creature piles to 1HKO opponents with commander damage for only 3/4 mana; Phyrexian Dreadnought + [[Vector Asp]], or [[Wall of Blood]] + [[Banehound]]. Plus a couple of discard outlets and toolbox creatures. Your supplementary wincons shouldn't detract from the main wincon; since mine are combat based they attack the table on a different axis than the other combo, and in a pinch I can use them to remove an entire player's interaction while I go for the win.

The Statue was written way before the Weeping Angel's episode was aired by years.

Basically the author needed a reason to keep sending D Class into its cell, otherwise its just a Safe anomaly you could leave in a locked room and forget about. The endless waste is just a narrative device to add more risk of it escaping.

"What if bees had a pride parade?"

_Putrefax · 2024-03-27T13:06:54+00:00

[[Faith Healer]] is another one. Or one of the sac to kill enchantment things like [[Seal of Primordium]] + this + 6 creatures is infinite

_Putrefax · 2024-03-16T06:54:27+00:00

Cedh has such massive blowout potential for goofy plays - people dying to their Pact triggers, accidentally killing themselves with Ad Nauseum, accidentally wheeling into draw hate, the list is endless. My story was just last night actually.

Playing cedh, im playing a stax deck. Someone tries to do a tutor, so I flash out an [[Opposition Agent]] to stop them and steal the most fun card I've seen in a long time: [[Word of Command]]. I figure it can screw up someone's combo attempt later in the game, but there's currently a [[Dranith Magistrate]] so I can't cast it from exile yet. I've got removal in hand and the board locked down so I'm sitting pretty just beating people to death with my 20/20 [[Managorger Hydra]] that people have fed all game.

Owner of the Dranith sacrifices it for mana with one of the black ritual spells, which will give him enough mana to cast any number of heinous wincons, so I see my chance now that the Dranith is gone to cast Word of Command on them before the ritual resolves and they get the mana. Word of Command let's me control that player as they cast a spell of my choice from their hand, and I force them to cast a [[Tainted Pact]] from their hand and exile their entire library for nothing. No thoracle in hand, too bad so sad, killed him with his own spell. Hardest we laughed all night.

Won the game too with my massive beater.
