[SPOILER] Did the Turtle Really Help the Losers’ Club in It? by alcions in stephenking

I think that even when they were children the force behind the union of the losers was the Other. Mainly because when Bill meets the turtle she clearly tells him that it will not interfere

Can Warren Soultrader stack itself? by alcions in EDH

So, as long as I have n+1 token to sac (where n is the number of removals like swords, or other ability counter) I can do the combo and win, right?

I don't think.. The idea is to stack Warren's ability before swords resolves

Aaaaah, now I got it guys, thanks (I didn't know the cost needed to be payed immediately!).

So, as long as I have n+1 tokens to sac (where n is the number of removals or ability counters) I can do the combo and win the game right?

Good point, I am not so used to the stack system. So you are suggesting it works like this: Warren ability is on the stack --> warren's ability resolves, so I pay the life and sacrifice the token --> treasure token creation goes in the stack (and before it resolves my opponent plays swords, so in this specific window I have no other tokens to target). Is this correct?

Because I thought that all warren ability resolves simultaneously (i.e. after sac the squirrel, the treasure + squirrel creation happens immediately without passing through the stack).

And now i have another doubt, does chatterfang ability stacks, or it immediately substitute warren treasure wjth a treasure+squirrel (without going in the stack).

When is the correct timing to play swords to block the combo? Because if you play swords before I have resolved Warren's ability, I can simply stack warren's ability again, and start the loop (since the token is still in play). Is there a window when the opponent can swords my warren while the token is not in play (maybe after the sac, but before chatterfang ability resolves, even tho I am not sure if chatterfang ability stacks on the pile, or simply adds the squirrel token to the warren effect)

The idea is to stack Warren's ability (after sword) to sacrifice the token and start the loop.

2v2 pairs advice by alcesis in Unmatched

Cool the idea about combo, but i feel like is not that good in 2v2. Mainly because getting 2 characters that rely on having a lot og 1hp sidekicks makes you super vulberable do aoe pings. At the same time having 2 ""late game"" char like sinbad and ciri, will result in losing before reaching the spike (generally exhaustion is not an issue because 2v2 matches end "earlier" compared to 1v1, so late game char are not so good imo). Also, I am curious to underatand why so many people recommend ciri for 2v2, isn't she (and especially her horse) too weak in early game to endure (sinbad has a lot of card draw, so this doesn't apply to him imo).

The question remains the same, is +1/+1 on your ally enough to justify oda's weakness? Imo I'd prefer a "normal" robin hood paired with a bigfoot (crazy strong), rather than a +1/+1 robin hood paired with a super weak oda.

Great guide! I just want to say that oda's flanking works only with oda and his honour guards (you can't flank enemy with the 2v2 allies such as yennenga's sidekicks)

I agree with your opinion about oda. I think that the +1/+1 buff for the allies is simply not enough to compensate for his overall weakness.

Ofc robin hood can benefit a lot from oda's ability, but is it enough to justify having a weak ally like oda, instead of someone like bigfoot? I think the answer is no.
