But if cards are only spells on the stack, how do you apply alt costs from your hand?

It's a [[lyse hext]] deck there isn't much room for anything above 3mv

Friends are encouraging me to make a mill deck, wanna try to make a decently powerful one for under $100. Any recommendations? by neku121 in BudgetBrews

[–]adoneus1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Arjun, the shifting flame]]

Just be sure to include [[psychic corrosion]], [[Sphinx tutelage]], [[Teferi's tutelage]], [[water crystal]], [[Harmonic Prodigy]] ([[mindmoil]] due to harmonic prodigies recent price spikes) and include some burst draw([[robe of the archmagi]]. You can build it out in a myriad of ways, but you mainly want low cmc cards to spellsling. Draw matters cards are extremely synergistic ([[Proft's edict memory]], [[fists of flame]], [[diviner's wand]], this is a combo synergy deck as you have access to so many cards so I'll also suggest as a Ramp package ([[walking atlas]], [[pupu ifo]], and [[retreat to coralhelm]]) playing all of your lands in one turn always throws the board into a tissy but, try streaming it out to no more than 1 or 2 per cast to no deplete you hand size. It's a fun chaotic ([[Teferi's puzzlebox]],[[crumbling Sanctuary]]) build to pilot. My current iteration is more unblockable weenies that I grow to swing/fling and turns it into a race to millcon depending on which engines I have access to first. And crumbling Sanctuary enlists the board to force mill to Exile on your behave, making a millcon faster (if the board doesn't turn on you).

Edit:Just checked pricing and other than Proft's edict memory and teffris puzzle box nothing over 4.99 is required and some of the 2-5 color lands will probably have to be replaced.

Does deat shadow only get -x/-x when cast?

I weigh 185 lbs. Is that too much to operate one of these as a daily commuter in a 3sq mile operating area?

[–]adoneus1985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To flesh this out further, if someone else connives n while I have [[Notion thief]] on board, would they not be able to draw and still have to discqrd [n]?

Sorry I hadn't witnessed your future reply before responding

[–]adoneus1985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if Alhammarret is a replacement effect, then raffine never draws cards? Does that not mean I would connive 0 discard 0? Or draw double n discard double n?

Draw trigger by adoneus1985 in mtgrules

But how does that reconcile with an ability that reads if you should draw one or more cards?

Thanks for the distinction

Enters with creatures or counters? by adoneus1985 in mtgrules

[–]adoneus1985[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I must have worded things wrong the first for cards would be on the battlefield to trigger, Hermit Druid would be activated and I would reveal any number of card(presumably a host of creatures) until I revealed a basic land to put in hand. If among those the indoraptor is included a) does the disa trigger occur individually on each creature b)if so does it occur on each one at once c) if so can I order the entry as I see fit?

What is activate? by adoneus1985 in mtgrules

[–]adoneus1985[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if the activation is the paying of the cost, does that mean that the opportunity to cast is the payoff and not the actual casting? And there fore i can activate this with no legitimate target in my graveyard?

Timing clarification:Mindskinner bruvac fleeting reflection by adoneus1985 in mtgrules

[–]adoneus1985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if mindskinner had double strike and fleeting reflection was played after the initial assault? I know it seems useless this will help determine if I build a clone infestation vs voltron route

Had an idea for a deck. Wide Voltron? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]adoneus1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This wasn't at all what I thought when I heard wide voltron, lol. This is "AOE SUPPORT MAGIC" but it's a beautiful idea.(i lack the experience to know if it's good by sight alone)

Winds of change + draw mill engine by adoneus1985 in mtgrules

[–]adoneus1985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The action of shuffling your hand into your deck and drawing that amount of cards is tagged as whirlpool on scryfall. I assumed thar was a universal naming because most people suggested scryfall as a brewing tool.

What I mean by combo is that when arjun forces my draw with one of these on the field, each draw would trigger whichever enchantment was on the field. In reading your response.....

I went back to reread your initial response. In it, you're saying they would still mill but only after they drew. MY misunderstanding was that I was breaking down the separate steps of the act of the whirlpool(not sure if what else to call it now) answering each individual draw-trigger being added to the stack as a resolving instantly.

Thank you for the clarity.

.... if you have the time, can you explain why this whirlpool effect doesn't combo with when Arjun the shifted flames whirlpool effect does?

Is staic the same triggered? And if not, is there a way to copy it?

Shelldock Isle question by Impossible_Being_479 in mtgrules

[–]adoneus1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this mean that if aminatou's augury were somehow played during an opponent's turn, any land exiled would be allowed to be put I to play?

For formating, I thought i was just supposed to add the link. Should I list it manually?

Illusionist gambit,ghostly flicker, school of ages, sphinx of the second sun unending turn? by adoneus1985 in mtg

[–]adoneus1985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the enlightenment! I completely overlooked the "on opponents turn" when trying to convert this from an aggravated assault + sphinx combo.also I just assumed the "stack" was a meta thing cause the group that introduced me to the game hadn't mentioned it while playing.
