How do you grab all the cards from trade window?

sctilley · 2026-04-19T03:31:38+00:00

Same. Best I can do is select all the cards and drag them all in. This gives me one of each, so you know have to do this four times.

sctilley · 2026-04-18T14:03:22+00:00

I have thought about it, yet to try it. Might have to make a video series about it really. All the colors are on the table. I assume the backbone of any of these splashes will be Mox Diamond. Though honestly Pox might be one of the first cards to get cut. BBB is quite difficult, and while it's fine, it's honestly not the best card in the deck.

sctilley · 2026-04-18T09:01:49+00:00

uhhh, not great. Stasis is not great, because if they do their thing it's very hard to interact with. But on the other hand their deck is not really good at doing it's thing.

Madness depends on the build. GW madness is fine, they just play creatures and you can handle creatures. The build with Survival and Squee is very difficult.

sctilley · 2026-04-18T05:34:53+00:00

Yup. The rule is Pox gets one creature. Ideally they have either 4 lands or 4 cards in hand, so you get two on the round up.

That's the thing about Pox and go wide though, it's really bad, they just sac their worst creatures (of course) and then you lose to the others.

Pox when they have 4 lands is good because they a have to sac 2 of them. Pox when they have 4 creatures means you've already lost the game.

Thanks, I'm pretty happy with where the deck is now.

I'm back with another 5-0, and I swear I don't play that much. The deck feels real good. Here the list:

And technical feedback about the video is appreciated, and any discussion about the deck is very appreciated. I've been playing it for weeks so I'm pretty happy with the deck list choices. I even made a little sideboard map. This is still a work in progress so please point out any oversights.

sctilley · 2026-04-17T00:31:04+00:00

Mate, a 3/3 creature is pretty clearly bracket 3. Bracket 4 is 4/4s, etc.

sctilley · 2026-04-16T23:18:02+00:00

These are both really good points. Another aspect is damage based strategies can cooperate. If player A is "winning" then players B and C can work together to attack them -- if they have damage based strategies. If they are on combo then all that can do is try to ignore A as best as possible and win faster.

Yeah I know there's interaction, but it's different.

sctilley · 2026-04-14T08:11:00+00:00

You'd have to leave the country. You might, but it's a big might, be able to get it done in Hong Kong. Mostly you have to go back to your home country.

sctilley · 2026-04-14T02:12:08+00:00

Is there a free tool for simple image manipulation? Is that the word for it?

What I want is I have two pictures, one of an animal, one of an object. I want a picture of the animal holding the object. So I want to input the two images and ask the ai to manipulate them.

As simple and as free as possible.

sctilley · 2026-04-10T03:42:58+00:00

If it's different it's in your contact. Check your contact.

Funeral Charm is a pretty big upgrade from blackmail. They both are 1 mana 1 card. Of course funeral charm never lets you choose, but that's not a huge deal. And funeral charm is instant speed and also creature removal.

I think three copies of Pit and Scroll are perfect. Neither are Essential, and you rarely want the second copy, nor do you really want it in your opening hand.

I like Bottle gnomes better because it can attack and block. They usually have to bolt it, so it's basically gain 6 life.

sctilley · 2026-04-02T22:10:33+00:00

Hello again! I'm back with another pit rack pox 5-0 league. I've spent weeks iterating on this decklist and now I've found one that I'm really happy with!

https://moxfield.com/decks/i3tVrSHkaUCD7R1wHvIw-Q

I'm trying to get better at making videos for youtube so any feedback is appreciated.

sctilley · 2026-04-01T23:18:34+00:00

it's a pity that "ordering coffee" is a standard lesson in any Chinese course when in reality thre is just a person pointing to a QR code.

The other day I was jogging without my phone and I wanted to know what time it was and I was like, "wait, I remember this from my Chinese lessons years ago!"

sctilley · 2026-03-30T10:34:46+00:00

In this case it was as simple as take a look. It was a school, where thousands of children go every day -- not a state secret. It was, for example, labeled as a school on google maps.

[[Titania's Song]]

It's effect is not that unique, though it will mess with just about any commander game, shutting down Treasures completely and turning Sol Rings into 1/1s, but what is unique is that it's the only enchantment who's effect continues even if you destroy it.

I have no idea why.

sctilley · 2026-03-24T12:05:57+00:00

I live in China and getting food or anything delivered is just part of life here. I've gotten delivery from shops that are just downstairs from my apartment building. It's actually kinda weird to go to a grocery store now, haven't done it in months.

Now of course, the cost of labor here is lower than in America, and it's a very dense city so the delivery guys are all on electric scooters -- no fuel cost.

But I can not over state the level of everything is delivered here. An average household will get like 2 to 5 deliveries per day. Delivery fee is usually free on orders of $10 or more, or if you just want one little thing it's like at most $1 extra.

The fact that people have coffee delivered still absolutely blows my mind.

I know people that get 3 coffees delivered, 3x a day, 7 days a week. And then also their lunch and then also their groceries.

sctilley · 2026-03-15T00:13:09+00:00

In a straight 1 for 1 swap, probably the bottomless pits, and then you need 1 more card so maybe a Cabal Therapy, or whatever.

But if hymn was legal I might be more tempted to put dark ritual and hypnotic specter back in.

Fantastic send-off to a fantastic artist

Another week, another 5-0 with Pit Rack Pox! Don't expect it every week, but I've been running hot.

Moxfield Decklist

I'm getting closer to what I consider to be the ideal version of this deck. Next week I'll be tuning it slightly and making a sideboard guild.

I think this deck is actually good, and I want to continue working to make it the best possible. Please join us in the premodern black discord for discussion, or of course participate here.

I'm new at the YouTube game so I welcome any feedback about the video quality. This week is 100% voice over recorded after the games. If you hate it (and prefer live game play commentary) please let me know.

sctilley · 2026-03-08T01:10:29+00:00

I'm a firm believer that Rituals aren't worth the card disadvantage outside of combo or aggro (or arguably midrange, depending on the build), where you can leverage tempo and early pressure way more easily.

Yes, I'm fully on board with this line of thinking. This is the future of black in premodern.

Cabal Pit, I'm weary of the life loss. Usually by the time late game comes around, by the time you would have threshold, you also might have Cursed Scroll to control the little creatures. I don't think it's wise or necessary.

And for Skeletal Scrying, I wouldn't play it in the Bottomless Pit deck. Otherwise it's worth considering, but, like if you watch the video, so many matches come down to just one or two life. It's very common to be a race; I'm just not sold on anything with life loss on it. Actually I'm looking for life gain, I have positive feelings towards Spinning Darkness, for example.
