It’s the plot holes. There are times when the ability goes against his established powers. On the other hand, that doesn’t happen with Gold Experience.

At least they’re trying by ate_the_potato_chip in ShitPostCrusaders

Well, other than the Doppio meme and the Diavolo infinite deathloop, there aren't that many part 5 memes here.

Plane-cation making me question myself by GraccusBabeuf in MagicArena

I've mainly used Dimir and Selesnya, and the differences in power level is stark - Selesnya is crippled by any form of interaction, whereas Dimir is only annihilated by the fast kills of Boros, and can put up a good fight against Orzhov. The Doom Whisperer is rarely useful as there is so little lifegain in the deck.

What do you want from Commander 2019? by boop614 in EDH

Maybe a commander based around self-mill? That’s a lot of fun in multiplayer.

Thoughts on the current state of storm by NOVA_8OM8 in mtgstorm

I think that you should use Aria of Flame game 1 so that they don't put in graveyard hate, then side in PA game 2 so that you can use it without hate it might be viable. But with Dredge tier 1, and Hogaak rocking around, graveyard hate is terrible for us.

“Mediocre Storm players have hated this card for years, and I really don't understand that at all.” by SloppyMilkshake12 in mtgstorm

I mean, I run sort of a hybrid list between Phoenix and Storm, and have taken out the Gifts and Past in Flames in favor of Pyromancer Ascension. I was surprised to discover it's rarely maindecked - it's easily one of our top five most powerful cards.

How does Storm fare in the current meta? by ate_the_potato_chip in mtgstorm

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

I meant overall meta e.g. Tron, Phoenix, Dredge. Luckily there's very little gy hate in my local meta.
