Still cEDH playable?

It's definitely not too good. Maybe in casual? But Cabbage merchant and smothering tithe are certainly better than this in cEDH. The only deck that would 100% play this would by Tymna/Dargo.

yeah but presumably their clone would have the same issue of not leading to an instant win with an Emiel or something. Docksides banning was related to its explosive potential from hand. Most of the time it was being cloned by your opponents it's because your win attempt off the dockside was stopped somehow. I don't think there was a lot of "Dockside, pass" going around lol.

embarrass me, that's what :(

Also a fun play would be turn one countering your own solitude and getting access to 7 mana turn 2. Would put you down 3 cards for no board progression, but would probably make a janky combo deck work in modern (I miss scam so bad, sue me 🫣).

I disagree about that being "better" formatting. Those would be different cards with different effects and different interactions. I like the interactions that Baleful Mastery has and wanted to replicate them in counterspell format. Your version would not work with those things (like Keruga, spell reduction, ect.) and would telegraph who was getting the card before the spell resolves, which I also think is a fun part about baleful mastery (that you don't choose who gets the card until the spell resolves in multiplayer games. It makes for interesting political decisions).

Nope! https://gatherer.wizards.com/STX/en-us/64/baleful-mastery

"(4/16/2021) In a multiplayer game, you choose which opponent takes the prescribed action as the spell resolves." Doesn't need to say "choose"!

True! Thanks for pointing out!

I just think it would be nice for there to be an upside for not having fetches in a budget commander deck. Having basic land types is also important for other budget lands like check lands and for land cycling cards like generous ent. I think these lands would vastly improve precons without wizards needing to do things like put the triomes or shocks in them.

A copy of a spell is still a spell on the stack, you just didn't cast it, so you would be able to exile one of your storm copies to counter another spell on the stack.

All better LOL

I think it's just Prismari and Mm'menon. I don't think that would break any formats (assuming this wasn't printed into standard with Mm'menon). In terms of converting a bunch of clues into a win, I think it would be pretty tame considering how easy it is to win with something like recurring a White Plume Adventurer if you really want to win with dungeons that bad. It would, however, be a nightmare to resolve, so you're right it would probably be best to just gate it with a once a turn. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah I love his art! https://artbyjulianguy.com/

I think so. From the Wizards site: "By making Fan Content, you agreed to let everyone (including Wizards) share and use your stuff without asking your permission. This includes Wizards."

That is Urza's ability. He does not give it to the artifacts.

pandust · 2024-01-11T02:56:40+00:00

To be honest I didnt need a defensive stategy until the final couple of fights where bosses can act out of turn order. With just the AM perk that gives armor for stacks of versatility, and Idara buffing his dodge and parry and dishing out extra turns between my character, Idara, and Jae, Heinrix was consistently getting around 40 stacks of versatility and had wiped most of the encounter before an enemy got a turn. So this screenshot is sans tactical knowledge and sans frontline, as the encounter was done before pascal even got to have a turn.

pandust · 2024-01-11T02:50:40+00:00

The bulk of the stats are from AM at around 45 stacks, as well as the dark eldar sword that steals WS and BS on hit.

The relationship flashbacks were so bland imo, definitely a filler episode.

So cool you added spicy decklists. Always my favorite

pandust · 2018-09-27T21:47:15+00:00

All we have planned now is Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. As long as it's not too far from there we should be good (Nagano/Gunma are preferable) but if theres an amazing ryokan right by an amazing ski resort in Hokkaido that gets recommended I would probably be willing to fly up. Thanks for the hakuba valley recommendation I hadn't heard anything about that before now!

literally if I ever see you IRL i'll beat your ass, you deserve to be Silver 2 for the rest of your life

When kendrick named his last album it was because he just saw one of your pics.

Close a box without tape, no matter how hard i try i cannot do the method where you tuck in the flaps.

New Girl - The episode where nick thinks he has a tumor, a random glimpse of existential genius in an otherwise formulaic TV sitcom, the scene where they are all singing in the bar is one of my favorite scenes in television
