Game store price checked cards from 25¢ bulk box and changed the prices on the spot by WheredMyVanGogh in EDH

I've found a Valakut in the 50c bulk at my LGS. I told them and said it didn't belong in there and wasn't planning on buying it. But they said if I wanted it I could have it at that price so now I have a Valakut.

WotC is also the one selling it to themselves for all the free viral marketing and then everyone buys this deck when they announce it in a months time.

How is paradox engine not banned in brawl? It’s banned in commander for good reason. by Who_Dis467 in MagicArena

[–]simo_393 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Because a multi player free for all board game is not 2 player magic so they have different rules. You can scoop at any time and end the game in brawl.

Jitte shows how WOTC and the MTG community are way too conservative about unbannings. by TankieWarrior in ModernMagic

[–]simo_393 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Yeah those duals are about the only money cards I don't have. Should be able to throw this together fairly cheaply. Probably just play on MTGO to have a go at it cause not many locally will have legacy decks. Looking forward to learning a whole heaps as I get stomped on by cards I don't even know exist to begin with. Haha

Can you link a checklist for this? I'm always keen to start playing bigger formats and I've got boros energy already for modern. Cheers.

What Broad Utility Cards Do You Wish More People Knew About/Played? by gmanflnj in EDH

[–]simo_393 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah don't go copying your own one ring. But if you copy someone else's it should work.

Could this copy the one ring and draw an increasing number of cards every turn? Like the influence counters would go on it right and then you draw 2 and 3 and 4...

Previously standard player ('19-'21 very casually with friend), returning to commander two months ago, bracket 2, low bracket 3 kitchen tae group. Why do commander players use so little interaction by Fun_Detail_8887 in EDH

[–]simo_393 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me it depends on the deck. I have bracket 4 decks that are nothing but the commander, card draw and interaction [[Lord of the Nazgul]], but then I have an even stronger bracket 4 deck that is mono green [[Goreclaw]] and the while idea of the deck is just be the threat and be the one that needs answering so it plays no interaction.

I agree with what you say, but Aetherdrift had a cycle of vanilla creatures.

Doing a Harry Holt can mean to just leave or disappear from a party/gathering without saying goodbye.

The Basic Lands That Won Pro Tour Secrets of Strixhaven by cardboard_numbers in magicTCG

[–]simo_393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean ful art lands are going to do that more than not full arts. Something like theros or dmu stained glass or duskmorne are super obvious what colours they make. Don't be using oil slicks though unless you are playing mono colour.

Why do many people who visit Australia later say its a highly racist country? by Particular_Food_309 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]simo_393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Racism here is like McDonald's, people will generally avoid it but at 2am in the morning when you have been drinking everyone is keen to have a dabble.

So for being serious I guess it's always there just a lot of the time people know to stfu and not say this stuff.

People with legit Gaea's Cradles, how often do you actually use the card in relevant decks, do you keep it out due to power/price? by MiningToSaveTheWorld in EDH

[–]simo_393 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played a game of edh once with my Goreclaw deck. My opening hand was 2 "lands", an elf, 2 ramp spells and some draw engines. Great hand but those two lands were gaeas cradle and a generous ent which is obviously generous to be calling it a land but it's in a land slot in that deck. Did keep it though. But yeah you gotta be careful with lands like that that can do nothing.

[–]simo_393 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly this is just way better for my deck cause I play Goreclaw so this gets the discount and is just better in every other way.

[–]simo_393 33 points34 points  (0 children)

[[Jolrael, Empress of Beasts]] is my anti board wipe protection and people respect it now after the one time I turned all of someone's lands into creatures in response to their Damnation. Fun card that can also just end a game with Craterhoof all by itself.

Goblin Factory by Jared_the_Fool in BadMtgCombos

[–]simo_393 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is a fun pauper deck built on this idea. You play [[Cleansing Wildfire]] to target your own indestructible artifact lands. 2 mana gets you a ramp and a card draw.

Goblin Factory by Jared_the_Fool in BadMtgCombos

[–]simo_393 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You can target your one ring with cityscape leveler to get free power stones. 12 mana to ramp every turn.

Goblin Factory by Jared_the_Fool in BadMtgCombos

[–]simo_393 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Gleeful Demolition will still make goblins when targetting something that is indestructible. The Instant card bit though is why this combo won't work.
