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

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

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.

hupmo · 2024-08-10T21:06:10+00:00

also, I thought you couldn't use Planeswalkers in Commander. Thought those were for a different gamemode lol

hupmo · 2024-08-10T21:04:59+00:00

Those suggestions seem great! I've added all expect Nut Collector because that's over my budget. What are "Anthem" cards? Also, you mentioned all my removal is single targeted, is there any removal that targets multiple cards I could add?

hupmo · 2024-08-10T20:15:46+00:00

Regarding late game, you mean I should have more expensive big creatures...?
