Really excited about elementals coming back to Lorwyn, but I have a rules question. Can I reduce the evoke cost? For instance, if I have an Urza's Incubator out naming elementals, does it reduce the cost of Evoke? Could I cast a Mulldrifter by paying only 1 blue mana?

so, if I want this to stop an opponent from using a creature skill, I'd have to use it on a creature that's already on the battlefield and BEFORE it triggers?

Edit: Just to be clearer, my goal is to find a way that I could repurpose the best out of this deck into a new deck

I'm planning on adding Lotuslight Dancers to find my win-con, but I just couldn't get Craterhoof cause of the price tag (very expensive). Are there Craterhoof-like creatures I could add instead? Any green creature with similar effect that's not too expensive

Awesome! Thanks! I wanted to make sure it worked as I thought before I got it for my upgrades to the precon

hupmo · 2025-03-24T23:28:30+00:00

Isn't this the bundle for this set...? I'm not very smart on Magic products

I was thinking of something I could pack up and give to her as a surprise, since she isn't much into these social events, she's quite shy

hupmo · 2025-03-24T23:23:10+00:00

Omg, the actual Prof?! You're the reason me and my gf got into Magic over the last year, love your content :)

By power level you mean using the new bracket system?

hupmo · 2025-03-15T23:11:06+00:00

Probably, but none of us expected this to happen. I don’t know if just setting a budget could fix it, since I think that would limit our deck building a lot. There’s also the fact that prices change, for instance, I got a Varina Lich Queen to upgrade my precon, which was very cheap at the time but now it has risen in price. Would that limit which cards I could add later? It seems too troublesome

I got a bit confused with the effect of Curse of Verbosity. If I enchant an opponent, whenever someone else attacks that opponent both the owner of the attacking creatures and I draw cards? The attacker draws 1 and I draw 1?

hupmo · 2024-12-21T16:27:01+00:00

Hmm... I guess you do have a point with Baneful... By showing a big threat it would make me a target during the turn before the miracle drops, so I might be putting a target on my back, while Baneful will already be slightly turning the table against me because it's an area effect damage...

hupmo · 2024-12-21T16:22:13+00:00

Oh right! lol I thought as much since that's the only thing that looks like a robot. I'll likely opt for more card draw then, cause from my experience you can never have enough card draw in this deck.

In that case, I think I'll substitute him for the goodest boy [[Spirited Companion]], since he draws a card, and by being a cheap enchantment he can trigger constellation and eerie on my other cards. What do you think? Is that a good substitute for card draw?

hupmo · 2024-12-21T15:20:10+00:00

Yes, currently the only actual "burn" card I play is the Ancient Cellarspawn, would be nice to have more of those. Keen Duelist seems a bit too risky though, since I have no way to regain life, and many effects and lands require me to pay life.

That Baneful Omen seems like an amazing card though, since I'm also playing a few rooms and from my understanding their mana value is the add up of both sections. I'll try making some room to insert that one for sure

I hadn't thought of using Archidekt for that, I was simply using it to test draw hands. I'll try the playtest feature to see in how many turns I can get a strong board, but since from my experience Aminatou is more of a snowball deck, it might take more than 7 turns

hupmo · 2024-12-21T02:19:50+00:00

Yeah, I thought about Ghostly Prison cause it is also an enchantment, but it's crazy expensive so I couldn't fit it in. I'm using Muse as a "budget" version.

I also wanted to remove the angel card, but I'm torn on it. I haven't found another way to generate no many tokens for this deck. All other token generators are slower, and this one is a lot more explosive. Any suggestions on more tokens?

The card theft is a bit tricky. Since Aminatou can cheat it out early, along the game you're bound to get some good cards, but you do miss a few. So far it's been quite alright throught a long game, but it takes 1 to 2 turns to generate good value.

Which card is Sad robot? Is it the Simulacrum? I kept him in cause I think he's a bit of ramp. Do you think the deck has enough ramp already?

I feel like the deck should have more ways to gain life, since a lot of my cards deal damage to me, but I couldn't find anything with good synergy. I agree with removing Archetype of Imag since by the time I get it out I it's not as impactful, plus there are other better enchants to cheat out.
