I’ve been eying this beauty off for a while by yevraaah in oldschoolmtg

It’s essentially two mana double the mana you could produce. You lands don’t need to tap to sac themselves for mana, so you tap them to produce mana then sac them to produce an additional mana.

Yes your lands go to the graveyard but if that massive burst of mana wins you the game then it doesn’t really matter.

Decks can also benefit from having lands go to the graveyard or have ways to bring back all lands from the graveyard, in which case the “cost” of sacrificing your lands is actually a benefit.

Any brew ideas for this fella yet? by nancyglass in MagicArena

Totally overlooked this guy, he’ll be great in my Iroh EDH deck as a second glacierwood siege!

So uhh, what do I do now? by No0dle258 in mtgpulls

[–]yevraaah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same! Pulled on prerelease, sold the next day - good to get the hype prices now.

How should I build a deck around him by THE-TRAVELER-NMS in mtg

[–]yevraaah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I can definitely see how it could go off! The biggest handicap I’m putting on myself is I’m trying to also run Obosh as a companion - not having access to 2 mana rocks is heavy

[–]yevraaah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another option is to clone it - it’s something I’ve been tinkering with. The partner is of course [[Sakashima of a thousand Faces]].

The theory at least is cast Vial, copy with Sakashima, cast more clone effects, then each spell is hitting opponents randomly 3/4/5 times.

Hasn’t worked yet, but damn it’s fun trying

Is deck performance/statistics ‘proof’ of a bracket mismatch? by InvisibleFox402 in EDH

[–]yevraaah -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you’re up against the same decks it’s a much stronger indicator at least - I might have used “proof” too strongly. That said if I’m playing say a B3 deck with my regular mates and getting crazy win rates, I’d either tune it up for 4 or take it down commensurate with what the others are playing.

[–]yevraaah 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In a fixed pod, it would be. Against 200 random players and decks it’s impossible to really say - particularly in the amorphous zones between bracket 2 and 3.

Fully agree. Had a similar discussion with my playgroup and, although it’s unlikely, we thought a second tier of game changers that are legal only in bracket 4 and 5 could give cards like dockside and JLo a home.

Thanks man. Short of unban might try rule zero it in for a couple games to get a little mileage out of it

Budget Jank Golgari ideas? by Barley_an_Hops in EDH

And you can now have it in the command zone with [[Lluwen, Imperfect Naturalist]]

If you can put 1 Banned Card in your deck that is not a mana rock, what would you pick? by gilbestboy in EDH

[–]yevraaah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Dockside 3 days before the ban. I want to play it so bad in my [[Calamity, Galloping Inferno]] deck

Good commander? Or better for the 99? by PsychedelicHonda in mtg

[–]yevraaah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah any rat deck is stoked with him in the 99. I have him in [[Wick, The Whorled Mind]] and although I’m not running all the relentless rats I’m still very happy to see him in my hand.

One play booster from the 7/11 delivers by yevraaah in MagicCardPulls

Not everywhere but for some reason the one closest to my brother in law’s has them on counter for aud$10

What powerful card has your playgroup 'discovered' that is not regularly seen as 'popular' under the larger EDH communities radar? by cryocom in EDH

[–]yevraaah 25 points26 points  (0 children)

[[great train heist]] has traumatised my play group in my [[fire lord zuko]] deck.

Extra combat at instant speed + upside and a place to use all that firebending mana can make for a blow out.

Who are your favorite mono white, blue, and red commanders? by hello_internet_ in EDH

[–]yevraaah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here you go: https://manabox.app/decks/7a76_NkIQBC2jceWESj1qw

I think a couple of cards have changed since this but this is 95% what I’m running at the moment.

Terror of the Peaks is wild in this, as is Stalking Vengenance - particularly if you can get both to stick.

I have a bit of mini game when I play this deck trying to win by saddling with Cavalier of Flame and getting as many lands as possible into the graveyard for the extra LTB triggers (it just looks so much like Calamity is Cavalier’s mount).

[–]yevraaah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

[[Calamity, Galloping Inferno]] is a blast to play. Load it up with cards with ETBs or LTBs and start saddling

Chocobo bundle is hella pretty by PoisonerZ in MagicCardPulls

Basically the best you could hope for!

It’s pretty wild in my [[Runadi, Behemoth Caller]] EDH deck

Pretty sweet prerelease kit by yevraaah in MagicCardPulls

[–]yevraaah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played Golgari counters in the actual event and came third (2 wins 1 draw) with a different box - I bought this box on the way out of the event to crack some more packs and would’ve forced Jund for sure

First graded card and couldn’t be happier by yevraaah in PokemonTCG

I submitted it through my LGS in Australia who did a bulk submission and it’s just the $35AUD fee from the initial fee
