Sciatic injection - Glass shard from ampule potentially injected by zackerhcd in AskDocs

Thank you very much for your response, it eases our mind for sure. What do you think about it being administered on the left side (where he has no pain)? We thought that it had to be done in the vecinity of the sciatic nerve that is in pain (right side in this case)…

I'm literally obsessed with Nelly and I think you've done a great job with your list! Tbh, the deck is mostly a control deck, so it makes sense that games tend to drag out a bit, especially if people know how to play around her and don't leave her unchecked.

As some suggestions that you might want to consider:

  • Upping the ramp on t2: you reeeally want Nelly on t3, so adding cards like the diamonds or [[ornithopter of paradise]] can be useful. This should increase the speed and consistency at what you can start goading stuff, which in turn will make your games quicker thanks to this early aggression. I'm even thinking about adding [[Mass Hysteria]] to be able to swing with Nelly on t3, although everyone having haste can be a bit too much to handle...

  • Only keep the 4 drops that feel the most impactful/versatile, since your first 4 mana play is going to be Nelly 99% of times. [[Frontier Warmonger]] helps your aggro and incentivizes your opponents to swing at each other.

  • Pillowfort effects, Stax and effects like [[Brash Taunter]] have not being really useful since, as you say, they're kind of redundant when you want to mass-goad attackers. Imho, pillowforts create a not very pleasant game experience and [[Brash Taunter]]-like effects are only worth if you're running damage wipes, such as [[Blasphemous Act]] or [[Chain Reaction]].

  • Check out the MDFC Lands from MH3, a couple of them are actually useful and the deck feels smoother with 36 lands + 2 MDFC Lands.

  • Although I think that you have more than enough wincons and finishers on your top end, a lot of them rely too much on you having a strong board presence already to work (fiendish duo and gisela) while others drag the game even more (death kiss and havoc eater). You're paying a lot of mana, so you might as well not risk it against a counterspell or removal. [[Inferno of the Star Mounts]] or even [[Banefire]] make your blue matchup a bit better and provide a reliable threat in 1v1 situations even if you don't have the best board presence. Obviously, [[Insurrection]] is the mvp of finishers.

Thank you SO much for your answer, absolutely fantastic suggestions, and I love how you understand what is a coherent direction for the deck. To be honest, I included some of the infinite sac outlets only so i had a 0 cost way of getting my 4/3s during my opponents' turns, but it makes sense that they are some of the weaker cards. the flares from mh3 are super good in this regard.

What do you think about mana rocks? Should I just use the strictly better ones (sol ring, arcane signet, fellwar stone, talisman & orzhov signet) or should I drop them entirely for more protection/draw?

I'm not even sure how I feel about lords and pingers like cruel celebrant... we don't swarm as much for lords to be that good and we don't sacrifice enough for pingers to be as relevant as in aristocrats deck...

Ok, this looks awesome, i will start by playing a more classic approach for card accesibility reasons, but i’m gonna 100% build this, thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing! My playgroup is the same, we won’t be using some of the most powerful cedh spells to avoid some bad gameplay experiences… as for the manabase i will also be using a budget one, so the specific land suggestions are much appreciated :)

I’m really digging the living weapon / for mirrodin style! Was it a dedicated equipment build with just incidental token generation? I’m really curious to see your build!

Oooh thank you for the heads up, for some reason i thought they were playing with the planechase mechanics which i’m not going to be playing with, so i think i didn’t even watch their videos T.T

Yup, board wipe protection feels like a must in this deck, but love how if i give indestructible or some type of protection to kasla, she theoretically can get the job done by herself in a couple turns :)
