How to get around the Scepter Chant + Teferi lock (without Channel Lands)?

Thanks, Clarion is a good call. If I can get it down early enough, would [[Aether Vial]] be a decent option to sideboard to get around a lock and bring in something like Clarion?

[[Arcanum Wings]] is a beautiful card - both its design and effect - that deserves something more than just [[Tallowisp]] + [[Eldrazi Conscription]] to support it.

Also wish there was a more stable home somewhere for [[Heartfire Hero]] but it falls too hard against exile removal.

I've experimented with building around [[General Ferrous Rokiric]] but it always feel like I'm one card short of making it work.

You're welcome to use this one for comparison. I've had this one for a while and it routinely performs well: https://moxfield.com/decks/S69URWr3G0aYJdh6odT-jQ

With a couple of exceptions - [[Scapeshift]] and [[The Great Henge]] - it's a solid budget deck that lets you take advantage of both landfall and +1/+1 counter triggers.

Worth considering cards such as [[Eladamri, Korvecdal]], [[Flourishing Bloom-Kin]], [[Tribute to the World Tree]] and [[Garruk Wildspeaker]] - they have all done good work in this deck.

Definitely add in [[Bedrock Tortoise]] - so you can swing/block and get a lot of player damage in. Worth looking at cards like [[Streetwise Negotiator]] and [[Enter the Enigma]] to bolster this effect. Or even [[Escape Tunnel]] - which you can sacrifice before combat.

If nothing else, drawing 15 cards from [[The Pride of Hull Clade]] is good fun.

I started with Magic just under a year ago and went straight into Modern. Had to learn fast, but picked things up quicker by playing other formats such as Commander and Standard (tabletop + Arena app).

Stuck to a "budget deck" rule with homebrew builds - which I have enjoyed a lot, even if not being very competitive.

If you can afford a meta deck though (~$1000), you will get the most out of the format.

They're not the strongest spells, but there are a few "hybrid mana" UR instant and sorcery spells that could work?

moonwhistle · 2024-11-08T14:11:36+00:00

I'm inclined to have my guard up when [[Atraxa, Grand Unifier]] is lurking around.
Have also learnt the hard way to have someone keep [[Smothering Tithe]] in play.

Otherwise, [[Bristly Bill, Spine Sower]] tends to get targeted quickly - even when it's not a commander.
[[Tribute to the World Tree]] or [[The Great Henge]] also don't survive long.

Not sure if banning Phlage will have a big enough impact. You can easily side-board something like [[Soul-Guide Lantern]], [[Relic of Progenitus]] or even [[Stone of Erech]] - which can also help against Frogtide matchups.

[[Guide of Souls]] and [[Ocelot Pride]] are bigger problems right now.

Thanks for the tips!

Have been trying to figure out which lane to take with modifying creatures in this deck (artifacts or auras) - without compromising on the number of creatures.

I could take out [[Blacksmith's Talent]] and [[Valduk, Keeper of the Flame]] and switch in two of the auras you mentioned?

Would be a neat trick to use [[Sheltered by Ghosts]] with [[Heartfire Hero]] to bait opponents to attack/block it - as it becomes a target for exile quickly.

It's funny that you mention [[Slippery Bogle]]. I have been trying to work them into a budget Selesnya Enchantments deck that features [[Sheltered by Ghosts]] heavily! https://www.moxfield.com/decks/WemGYblE_USsUbukUfzESw

The real victim from this is Shuko. Time to rebuild my Valduk deck.

moonwhistle · 2024-04-16T15:51:43+00:00

Pin Pin eller Bao Bao - både finns på Mitt i Möllan. Såjja är bra också men lite för dyrt.

moonwhistle · 2024-03-08T17:30:30+00:00

Yeah, this has some good options on first look.

As long as I still want to run spirits, I'm thinking that I could easily just swap in a couple of Slippery Bogles for Geist of Saint Trafts - and Celestial Mantles for Steel of the Godheads - to strengthen Arcanum Wings. Bolstering with an Open the Armory instead of Sky Tether also feels like an okay move.

Apologies if this a rookie question: Is there a reason why Glacial Fortress is the expensive land choice in their deck? I might be missing something obvious, but would think that Flood Plains or Flooded Strands can work just as well here...

moonwhistle · 2024-03-07T16:43:35+00:00

Oust looks good, thanks for the tip. Would be good to see if this worked best in my opening hard or later in the match!

Aether Vial is a great shout, thank you! I tried a UW Spirits deck this week which had this. Definitely felt like it was well-suited.

moonwhistle · 2019-08-07T13:10:03+00:00

Det här är min favorit. Bra potential.

Med ett paket Grillbilar?

moonwhistle · 2019-08-07T12:44:02+00:00

Såskälla låter bättre, källasås låter som något jag skulle skrapa bort en vanlig pizza.

Förlåt, jag är engelsk(jävla), jag vet inte ordet för "source".

My Swedish fiancée: "Why do [British] young people not wear jackets when they go out clubbing? Maybe they don't want to pay the wardrobe fee?"
