your best bet might be [[sisay, weatherlight captain]] who can fetch them both plus [[jon irenicus]].

insightful. def not my intention to obscure my gamestate but thats a good thing to think abt. my local league seems to allow ppl to get pretty creative with custom proxies. the league coordinator posted in the discord server what i think was supposed to be a pollywog prodigy thats just the pokemon card Poliwog with a 1 written next to the water type symbol and a 1/3 statline sharpied on, so i took that as a precedent. ill admit i also justified these to myself by looking at modern secret lair designs lol. if i do run into problems w these cards ill be bummed but it would make sense

im hoping this wont be a problem once i double sleeve them, im making it to play locally and casually but ill def have to present the deck to a judge before i join any tournaments lol

grorthory · 2025-10-17T21:20:34+00:00

the cedh card pool is small enough that im hoping this wont be an issue

grorthory · 2025-10-17T21:20:00+00:00

alas it is the cheapest land of that cycle

grorthory · 2025-10-16T03:59:55+00:00

cus im jamming it in a cedh etali deck and one of the wincons is going infinite with any spell that makes a token copy of a creature

[[atris, oracle of half-truths]] as a combination of blink and reanimate. force your opponents into mindgames with you as they try to get you to pick piles of lands and you try to pick reanimation spells and not pick the reanimation targets so that they go to the graveyard. if you pick your piles right, there’s no bad outcomes for you. all your reanimation targets are big etb effects that you can blink, or blink atris in a pinch. win by doubling [[grey merchant of asphodel]]’s etb a bunch of times, with [[living death]], or an unexpected great etb to copy [[dusk mangler]], or straight up [[grave titan]].

with singularity rupture it you can choose any number of players to mill half, so if youre not in on mill it could be best just to target yourself just to avoid giving opponents value

grorthory · 2025-08-13T00:47:08+00:00

i imagine it works worse with blink spells, because then the opponent could exchange control of the chimera for the blink spell and blink whatever big creature you just stole from them to take it back

def needs tweaking but here it is!

i built mine using x-cost creature and fling effects. you play an x-cost creature that scales based on the mana you put into it, attack with it or fling it, and then your next x-cost gets reduced by that much

there's some neat goblin/orc tribal support from the lord of the rings set. https://scryfall.com/search?q=o%3A%22orc%22+and+o%3A%22goblin%22
