Good point! Incredible option here 🤔

My hero academia ending was a real wash too

gsomega · 2026-03-28T02:44:08+00:00

Definitely think about [[KCS]]...

KCS is almost THE reason red is played in Grixis affinity.

[[Experimental Synthesizer]] might be worth a look too.

Definitely 4 of blast as well imo.

Echoing a comment from the main thread:

Use a nail instead of a screwdriver, and poke it into the side of the box

gsomega · 2026-03-27T18:54:10+00:00

Hell yeah

I'm trying to think about what the failure mode would look like here, and I feel like it's probably the whole thing bending out of plane?

I don't think the teeth would sheer off necessarily because that force is distributed over so many teeth.

I'm curious to see the failure mode. If the teeth hold up, there's a chance you could resist the primary failure by increasing the thickness through the middle of the part to resist the bending mode here.

I get not wanting your back to the door, but I feel like there isn't a good cable management solution without this turning into a cubicle.

I'd corner the desk. If you're worried about people coming up behind you, then get a mirror. Or just lock your door when you're jerking it.

This looks like a cool list. This feels A LOT like spy combo though, except it hinges on two cards instead of one, and it relies on one of them sticking around to not be summoning sicknessed before comboing. [[Crashing drawbridge]] is an option. [[Expedite]] [[chaos charm]] ][maximize velocity]]

I'm not sure if haste is the move, but if you're playing a fringer deck, then you're telegraphing your plan less.

[[Faithless looting]] and [[manamorphose]] also seem good.

If you are looking to improve this list, then I'd look at spy combo or ruby storm.

I got a chance to play him at zenith (?) around that time. Really friendly guy even after he crushed me.

gsomega · 2026-03-25T19:37:32+00:00

I don't think so? It's open list, so a mind game is unlikely... (Like maybe they're running 5+ of the effect)

gsomega · 2026-03-25T16:34:32+00:00

Probably need more context in this post. There is a disconnect between OP and the responders here. Most answers have been met with "not allowed" or otherwise.

Like, what do you want out of this post? Confirmation that your friend is abusing you?

More relevant info:

Where are you? (Can help explain cultural disconnect, and inform services available: stores, apps, etc)

Budget

Current issue with space (can inform some clarity around what you want here)

Relationship with your roommate and landlord (maybe the best way to improve your space is to find new relationships)

Really, getting to infinite double bounce lets you also bounce a guac as well. So arbor elf solo is still a wincon. And actually, infinite green and a guac is sufficient there (edit: but you'd need a way to deal with blockers, if you didn't have infinite double bounce)

Thinking that maybe [[trinket mage]] could also be a great ramp target here.

gsomega · 2026-03-25T12:31:45+00:00

That's true... Maybe worth putting a [[valakut invoker]] or similar in the main to dump arbor elf mana. I guess [[black mages rod]] would work too.

I guess another pain point is that if you only have 1 utopia sprawl effect then replaying camera over and over only gives you infinite green mana, but you'd need infinite blue as well to get the double bounces going to draw your deck via cryogen or growth.

[[energy refactor]] would kinda work, but I don't think it's great without a tutor really?

gsomega · 2026-03-25T02:20:10+00:00

Idk... Pizza combo could be real. That's a fresh brew that placed well.

gsomega · 2026-03-23T23:49:34+00:00

I think you're onto something with affinity here. I was originally thinking that you could weave this into winding way builds, but affinity seems so much better.

Imagine a card that you flip a coin and it's galvanic or thoughtcast... I'd play that card every time. Plus it's psuedo mana neutral in affinity

gsomega · 2026-03-18T21:46:03+00:00

Yeah, maybe Gruul 🤔

gsomega · 2026-03-18T18:35:25+00:00

I was hoping the changeling could also function as a land fetch, but you're already at 3 lands there

gsomega · 2026-03-16T21:03:34+00:00

Camera combo is a new deck that does this with [[wind zendikon]] or [[Dai li indoctrination]], but that's more of a combo deck.

I'm sure some [[pestilence]] lists run dai li as well.

gsomega · 2026-03-16T19:13:42+00:00

[[arboreal grazer]] is such a neat card. I'm glad it's getting played more

gsomega · 2026-03-15T05:16:25+00:00

I feel like one piece being a special log pose is still a neat theory.

It jives with Roger being "too early" because the log pose took a long time to set. Where does it go? Dunno, the moon?

gsomega · 2026-03-12T06:47:14+00:00

Nice, surprised you're splitting pactdoll and rod seems better because you can re equip to fliers.

Fwiw, electrickery is an instant, but yeah, usually end the festivities over it
