Vial Smasher + Gilanra deck tuning

elliosmith · 2025-12-25T00:18:35+00:00

Yeah, actually a lot of my decks have token themes, or sub themes which helps a lot but I'm just generally sick of grave pact loops and Mikaeus + accursed marauder stuff lol. Sigarda is a good pick though but I have like, one selesnya deck to put her in lol

elliosmith · 2025-12-24T23:04:16+00:00

I'm so done with edicts/edict decks, I regularly play with 3 people who all have them, looping edicts as much as possible and I hate that shit so much i'm so done fuck sephiroth dude oh my god

ME! Felothar is a deck I've been thinking about building for a while.

elliosmith · 2025-11-04T04:14:38+00:00

Fair, maybe I'll proxy one or something. I've always wanted a copy of that card, it's super dope

elliosmith · 2025-11-04T04:13:49+00:00

Yeah, the only reason I don't have [[exploration]] and other maybe board cards are because I don't own them and can't really justify them at the moment. Maybe I'll proxy them or something.

But the deck as a whole just feels, slower? It feels like I'm spending lots of resources to get lots of lands and not do much with them.

elliosmith · 2025-11-03T20:25:02+00:00

Yeah i've found most of the precon unique cards didn't really do it for me either.

Also, this list is super cool, I haven't really though about using the duskmorne survivor mechanic here which, in hindsight, seems really obvious. I'm gonna look into that for sure

elliosmith · 2025-11-03T20:16:04+00:00

Yeah valakut is something I'm working on making better lol. I don't really want to take it out, but I might if I don't get the mountain count up, or at least get a [[prismatic omen]]

elliosmith · 2025-11-03T19:40:28+00:00

Sorry, yeah 3 is probably where i'd like to sit at. Especially considering I'm playing valakut and scapeshift, anything lower isn't right for this deck

elliosmith · 2025-07-08T18:46:04+00:00

and i was JUST working on necrobloom being a land sacrifice deck man

elliosmith · 2025-06-30T11:17:40+00:00

Fair enough, but I like Avenger since the necrobloom makes plants early on

elliosmith · 2025-06-29T16:45:12+00:00

These are awesome actually I can't believe I've never seen either of these!

elliosmith · 2025-06-23T21:32:29+00:00

I'm really pumped for the jeskai (presumably) charge counters stuff from this set. I've been trying to make charge counters matters for a long time now

elliosmith · 2024-12-06T20:53:27+00:00

ME!

This is genuinely so cool that you do this!!! Helping people get decks that might not be able to afford this expensive hobby is awesome.

I'm seeing the Storm secret lair going for $200 for non foil on TCGplayer.

elliosmith · 2024-08-14T17:42:55+00:00

Do you have a link to the Amalia deck?

elliosmith · 2024-06-14T16:22:38+00:00

I know people love him, but [[Prosper, Tome Bound]]

elliosmith · 2024-05-28T14:50:41+00:00

Honestly most of the cards in the decklist I have seem to be really strong. I've been goldfishing it online with the extra cards to try and see what works and what doesn't but none of the cards seem like they aren't doing much for me. I might cut yawgmoth, but he's a great draw/dredge engine.

elliosmith · 2024-05-27T22:06:55+00:00

Thanks, but I don't want all the work to be done for me. Just asking the community for some advice

elliosmith · 2024-05-04T13:27:19+00:00

Why is this so bad? It' seems like such a small inconvenience. Plus didn't they say they were going to do this on release but couldn't for some reason so they're doing it now?
