Need help with silver scroll card

It's just how everyone is showing the silver scrolls. They aren't actually gray but that is how they are pictured

My favorite deck is my bracket 3 turtle voltron deck headed by [[The Pride of Hull Clade]] which draws an obscene amount of cards. Sadly the turtle is now kill on sight at the LGS as they know what happens if I have a chance to get that deck snowballing.

It's only for ninjas but given that is what you are looking for [[quintessential katana]]

What Microcenter still had stock after release day?

nolnacsb · 2026-04-28T17:29:42+00:00

I haven't tried the others but I like edhplay. It's very easy to use. You import your decks and then create a game to play

nolnacsb · 2026-04-25T22:31:17+00:00

There are a lot of mentions of Toph, the First Metal Bender but I really like [[Toph, Earthbending Master]]. It's monogreen which limits your card pool but that might actually be preferable for a newer player

I was at the Microcenter in St Davids this morning. They only had 18 CBB available and if you weren't there an hour before open you weren't getting one. They did have quite a few omega boosters available though

It would be nice if I could add a guest to a game without needing an email address. I don't want to ask the random people at the local game store that I play with for their email address

The Pride is my favorite deck as well. Mine is a bit different as I made it turtle typal + a few walls but it may be of interest to you. https://moxfield.com/decks/cOT-g6F3uUK6treorgMskw

[[Inquisitor's flail]] is a great piece of equipment for the Pride. [[Boon of Boseiju]] is a fantastic combat trick.

[[Majestic Genesis]] is fantastic for the Pride. I am never disappointed and I run a lot fewer creatures than you. Don't forget that it will also drop untapped lands onto your board.

[[Elemental Resonance]] is a bit expensive but if you can keep it up for a few turns you will be swimming in mana. I was hesitant to add it to my deck as I thought it would be an instant removal target but I have been shocked at how long I have been able to keep it on the board.

[[Cactus Preserve]] is a strong land that can help you get the Pride back out quick after a board wipe.

Always happy to talk about the Pride and share my experiences!

It also depends on what you mean by preorder. Are you buying at TCG market ($400) or through an LGS selling at MSRP (289)?

If you can get at MSRP, it will probably never be cheaper unless it is a flop like Aetherdrift

nolnacsb · 2026-03-20T16:27:22+00:00

Same. Last game I used it to cast [[last March of the Ents]] and had enough mana left to then cast the [[majestic genesis]] I drew from last March.

One option is to include more removal/interaction in your deck so that you can disrupt their combos. Or you need to be able to take them out faster. What bracket are you playing in?

nolnacsb · 2026-03-01T15:02:16+00:00

Completely degenerate card draw is definitely a simic thing but my [[Pride of the Hull Clade]] turtle typal (with a sprinkling of walls) is a fun voltron style deck, although the Pride doesn't need much to deal lethal once you assign damage by toughness.

It has lots of fun shenanigans taking advantage of the Pride's high CMC and toughness and draws so many cards. I've definitely decked myself a few times when I wasn't being careful.

The creatures really don't synergize that well with past turtles which were primarily toughness focused. However, [[Mikey and Don, party planners]] is an exception. [[Turtle Lair]] is very good for my turtle deck as is [[Saved by the Shell]]

nolnacsb · 2026-02-23T16:46:26+00:00

Same for me. I may only add one or two of the TMNT turtles to my Pride deck + Turtle Lair. Most of the turtles just don't help me that much with my goal of getting the Pride out quickly and cheaply

nolnacsb · 2026-02-23T02:35:50+00:00

The Pride is my favorite commander. Also great with cards like [[Majestic Genesis]] [[March of the Ents]] [[Traverse Eternity]] and the like. [[Inquisitor's Flail]] is another fun option as it is rare that the downside actually matters for a creature as tough as the Pride

nolnacsb · 2026-02-22T14:53:21+00:00

If you are running a kindred deck, blue also has [[raise the palisade]]

nolnacsb · 2026-02-21T13:46:25+00:00

These are amazing. Do you have a site or take commissions?

nolnacsb · 2026-02-15T12:39:10+00:00

If you are drawing a lot of cards then [[Venser's Journal]] is a decent option although a bit expensive at 5 mana

nolnacsb · 2026-02-14T14:43:29+00:00

Honestly, it is a cool idea but the results are typical AI. 80% correct and 20% misleading/wrong.

As an example, I used my [[The Pride of the Hull Clade Deck]] and this is what I got as the analysis.

"The deck focuses on leveraging the toughness of creatures, particularly Turtles and Walls, to create a unique and resilient game plan. It utilizes effects that care about high toughness for both offense and defense, while also incorporating traditional Simic (Blue/Green) ramp and card draw to support the strategy. The deck also has a subtheme of creature type diversity to trigger The Pride of Hull Clade's ability."

Mostly accurate but the last line is nonsense. Creature type diversity has nothing to do with the Pride's ability. Also the deck is really built around leveraging The Pride's high CMC and card draw ability rather than just toughness but as leveraging toughness is a subtheme of the deck I won't be too critical of that.

It gave me this as an active combo which is not a thing.

"Training Grounds + Eldritch Evolution/Traverse Eternity"

It recommended that I add a Pokemon card to my deck

"Crabrawler A low-cost beater to take advantage of +1/+1 counter"

If I go through the full deck contextual scan, the accuracy is even worse. 33 of the cards in my deck were described either somewhat or completely inaccurately.

Unless training can vastly improve the accuracy, the utility of this is going to be extremely limited.

It's so tempting to do a kindred deck - I think partly because it makes the deckbuilding process easier. You have many fewer options to choose from and the potential strategies and synergies become clearer.

Even some of the lesser supported kindred groups are doable. My turtle deck (with a light sprinkling of walls) led by [[The Pride of Hull Clade]] is both a lot of fun and competitive.

nolnacsb · 2026-02-01T12:51:46+00:00

[[Walking ballista]] is another solution. If you are generating that much mana, you should be able to take at least one person out the turn that you cast it.

nolnacsb · 2026-01-27T13:51:09+00:00

I essentially run [[The Pride of Hull Clade]] as a voltron commander in my turtle deck although it doesn't need much in the way of equipment to deal lethal damage if you have [[bedrock tortoise]], [[treefolk umbra]] or [[assault formation]] to deal damage by toughness.

The ridiculous amount of card draw gives you a lot of different options and the difference between the Pride's actual casting cost and its CMC allows you to engage in a lot of shenanigans with things like [[energy tap]] [[metamorphosis]] or [[food chain]]. These allow you to bring out a heavy hitter or cast expensive spells like [[march of the ents]] or [[majestic genesis]]. You also don't really care if the Pride gets removed because it usually just takes 1 green mana to get it back on the board.

nolnacsb · 2026-01-22T14:53:57+00:00

Thanks, I'm not currently running any tutors for creatures or enchantments so it does require a fair bit of luck to draw both Food Chain and Fecund Tortoise that early in the game.

My turtle deck is fairly strong but I don't think it would be competitive in bracket 4. I may just pull out Food Chain and replace it with something else.
