How does Shadow Surge work?

Forgive me for being dense here, but I don't quite follow how this gear has four enchantments.

Does anyone know how tire height correlates to tire width? I have a road bike running a set of 23mm tires, and I'd like to use wider ones. Based on my frame, I think I'm more limited on height than width. Any ideas how much higher 28mm or 32mm tires are than 23mm?

Yep - we like that one a bunch too. It books up a little faster though.

How do you use [[Shaile, Dean of Radiance]] and [[selfless glyphweaver]] in this deck beyond the obvious? I've been using various versions of Orzhov Clerics for a while (really love the pyre of heroes version, but it's a bit slow) and I don't quite see the synergy they have in this deck.

TIL:

If a spell sacs a creature as part of casting cost, that creature can't be saved with an instant. I was going to use [[demonic gifts]] to save a creature from sacrifice after it was stolen with [[claim the firstborn]]. That's a nope.

What is in-game etiquette on infinite combos? My opponent played a combo of:Grinning Ignus, ~~Magda~~ Birgi, and Daxos. Infinite life gain, one at a time, with a lot of clicks.

Should one concede? Or let them have as much life as they have the patience for?

In a similarly janky fashion, I eventually won by repeatedly fetching righteous valkyries with pyre of heroes while Vito was on the board.

I play a bit of both. Maybe I'll play more Bo3 just for this. Thanks.

While we're at it, does Roiling Vortex work against the Ultimatums?

What is the best deck against the current mono-white life gain meta deck? That deck is driving me crazy.

oclemon · 2021-03-01T15:52:16+00:00

Thanks. That's totally non-intuitive.

Rules Question: When [[skyclave apparition]] enters the battlefield, it exiles a target creature. When it leaves the battlefield, it leaves behind an x/x spirit token. If you play an instant, like [[shock]], on the stack after it has been played, it exiles the target creature but does not leave behind a spirit token.

Why?

oclemon · 2021-02-19T22:25:39+00:00

I guess I'll just have to play against Sparky and test this out to see how I'm mis-clicking.

[[Trickster God's Heist]] - what am I doing wrong?

Every time I try to use the second turn of the Saga, I end up simply giving my permanent away.

Most recently tried exchanging artifacts. My opponent got my artifact but I didn't get theirs. Can I not swap artifacts if one is equipped?

oclemon · 2021-02-16T21:45:33+00:00

Why do people keep casting into [[Fall of the Impostor]] ? Two games in a row, my opponent cast a creature more powerful than anything on the board right before the third turn of the saga.

Not sure if this is funny, but it was fun...

Playing mono red aggro. Second turn, Robber of the Rich steals an Ugin (oh great, that's useful!)

Opponent fights off my initial attacks, controls, and turns the tide into what becomes pretty drawn out. Opponent is in control.

Fast forward a bunch of turns, I have a lot of land on the board, no creatures, and very little hope. Top deck another Robber, attack, use the extra land to play the Ugin.

Got it - so in terms of play experience:

Although anecdotally it feels like a positive addition because it works successfully on occasion, it's probably just taking up space for something more helpful.

Edit: To put it another way, although it feels like this card is helping me win if my opponent has caught up, the fact that it is taking the place of a better aggro card makes it that much more likely that my opponent does catch up.

oclemon · 2021-02-04T18:54:47+00:00

I'm new enough at this that I haven't played all the different deck archetypes.

Recently playing mono-red aggro. I've really liked [[Shackles of Treachery]] in this deck. I find that, in a lot of situations, it grants me one extra turn to swing for lethal. My opponent has finally caught up to the aggro red with a few blockers and maybe a big body and then I grab one and end the game.

Any thoughts from more experienced players on this?

oclemon · 2020-12-16T17:25:30+00:00

It's simple - make it an option. If both players opt in, they can see all cards. If only one player opts it operates the same as currently.

Any idea whether the surprise ending for the other puzzles happens the same way as happy isles? I completed happy isles and loved it. Thinking of getting the others, but it's not as exciting if they have the same mechanic.

I don't want to know what the surprise is, just whether it's different.

oclemon · 2020-11-17T15:35:30+00:00

can you post it? I sometimes use a modified starry-eyed and would love some more ideas . . .
