I like using Karn, the Great Creator to recur Midnight Clock.

Re: Magic the Gathering Thread XXIV: *Slaps Roof* This Thread Can Hold So Many Chand
I have beaten multiple (relatively) strong (as far as mill goes, anyway) mill decks with this, combined with a Mirrormade copying their Psychic Corrosion.
In one case, I'd have lost if they'd drawn one of the Jace, Wielder of Mysteries that they almost certainly had; in another, they did draw it, but I stole it with Eyes Everywhere.
...
This was in my Mono-Blue deck with few-to-no counterspells, in case you couldn't tell.

Re: Magic the Gathering Thread XXIV: *Slaps Roof* This Thread Can Hold So Many Chand
So, Jumpstart. I'll confess that my interest is mostly in seeing how they're designing the packs so that I can make my own MtG SmashUp clone.
However, there are some crazy reprints, and some fun legendary critters.
But the real meat of it is that the method they used to build the packs looks really simple:
Build Your Own Jumpstart Pack
You'll need:
- 8 lands. Monocolor packs appear to have seven basics and one color-fixing non-basic, while Rainbow has one of each basic, a Terramorphic Expanse, and two non-basics that can produce all five colors.
- 4-5 "fuel" cards. These are your early game fodder, or the stuff that you shove into your engine to make it work.
- 2 pieces of removal. Generally not very good removal, but removal all the same.
- 3-4 "engine" cards. These are the cards that make the theme actually work - your sacrifice outlets, your midrange critters, or your tribal lords.
- 2-3 "payoff" cards. These are your curve toppers that let you win the game with your engine. These are your bombs and your flashy stuff.
Rarities aren't constant from pack to pack (because each pack has its own rarity), but you should be looking at around 8 commons, 4 uncommons, and 1 rare. (With big, flashy packs trading an uncommon for a Rare or Mythic).

Re: Magic the Gathering Thread XXIV: *Slaps Roof* This Thread Can Hold So Many Chand
Maybe the recipe is fairly stable, but from what has been said in interviews the amount of work required to make 121 packs that all played well with each other was monstrous, and it seems doubtful that someone could make custom packs that work nearly as well with the whole set as what is already there without tons of time and energy.
On a mostly unrelated note, who else is ready to force WUBRG Shrines in draft?
...
...
Just me?

I'm not sure about trying to force it in draft, but the new ones definitely got my mind racing for how to build WUBRG commander shrines.

For commander shrines,, for what it's worth, I don't think it gets better than Captain Sisay, the new one, since she can tutor any of them out.

The new Sisay is perfect, though I'm not sure she'd be an appropriate power level for the group I play in. She's too consistent as the commander unless I'm playing against stronger decks. My initial list is a shrines and pillowfort deck that has her in the 99 and O-Kagachi as the commander. I'm open to shifting them around depending on what I'm facing though.

Re: Magic the Gathering Thread XXIV: *Slaps Roof* This Thread Can Hold So Many Chand
I just had a game where I got over two hundred growth-counters on my Simic Ascendency that had entered the battlefield on my previous turn, then won by bringing my opponent to negative six hundred ninety-three life via battle-damage.

The new Sisay has a WUBRG activated ability to make her 5-color. She tutors out a legendary permanent onto the battlefield with CMC less than or equal to the number of colors among permanents you control.

For anyone who is confused. Also, anyone who was hoping to use her for Brawl, she is unfortunately not legal on Arena.

Re: Magic the Gathering Thread XXIV: *Slaps Roof* This Thread Can Hold So Many Chand
So recently I have been playing a silly infinite combo deck in Historic. It uses Arcane Adaption to make all my creatures angels, drop in Bishop of Wings, and then Bastion of Remembrance and Virulent Plague. Go, Infinitely Dying Angel. It isn't the fastest of decks, nor the most consistent, but it is fairly amusing to see it go off. (There are redundancies in the deck as well as a good amount of No.) Plus side, it give me an excuse to use Yorion as the Companion.

The Chandra Commander Event deck is spicy. I like it, I think I'll try to recreate it.
Gotta love, how M21 still upholds the thread title of adding yet another bunch of Chandra cards, MTG's favoritebisexualdecidedly straight pyromancer.

Re: Magic the Gathering Thread XXIV: *Slaps Roof* This Thread Can Hold So Many Chand
If it helps any the official word is that she's pansexual and this is just the start of her realizing it. Like it was a very ****ty and bad scene and line to write, but it is intended to lead somewhere good it's just hard to see because of how rushed the story was.
But yeah oops all Chandras.

Re: Magic the Gathering Thread XXIV: *Slaps Roof* This Thread Can Hold So Many Chand
Maro has said outright that by his understanding Chandra is meant to be pan. They also put out in an official statement that Chandra is still new to this, and explained how all their regime changes have led to stories being... clunky, for a bit, and how they intend to improve.
I look forward to seeing them put their money where their mouths are, personally, but at least Ikoria was a good book.

Re: Magic the Gathering Thread XXIV: *Slaps Roof* This Thread Can Hold So Many Chand
I just had a couple of really lucky/clutch moments in my latest Historic match.
My opponent got me down to negative life less than a turn after I got my Platinum Angel onto the board. Then they got enough shrines to take out said angel with their Honden of Infinite Rage... the turn after I had played Akroma's Memorial (which mattered since that particular shrine is red, which the Memorial provides protection from)
I think they ended up getting 9 out of 11 shrines out total, but not all at once.

Re: Magic the Gathering Thread XXIV: *Slaps Roof* This Thread Can Hold So Many Chand
I know love is a core concept of good storytelling, but her sexuality should not be the focus when her definjng traits are planeswalking pyromancer.
Her relationships to individual creatures should be the topic, but her being a piece of political agendas.
Tampering with that is about as smart as Rowling adding character traits to her characters.

Re: Magic the Gathering Thread XXIV: *Slaps Roof* This Thread Can Hold So Many Chand
Chandra was as compelling a character when she was daydreaming of Gideon as she was when having weird thoughts about Nissa. The bits with her family on Kaladesh were way more interesting than this 'is she gay / straight / pan" bs that really adds very little to the story, other than a few people clinging on her to be 'represented'.
Meanwhile, south america is dinoland and nobody seems to care :v

And yes, Ixalan is awesome, and so are The Emperor's New Clothes (even though no Inca was ever a llama and Cuzco is anything but jungle) and El Dorado (as horribly wrong as it also is). My point being, a good story is a good story, representation for the sake of it is overrated and can make things worse than they would've otherwise been.Last edited by Peelee; 2020-07-03 at 10:26 PM.

Re: Magic the Gathering Thread XXIV: *Slaps Roof* This Thread Can Hold So Many Chand
Overrated for you, perhaps, but for people who are actually being represented, it can mean the world. And the removal of the representation makes it even worse. The straightwashing of Chandra was the thing that made me no longer care about the story of MTG after following it diligently since Tarkir.

Re: Magic the Gathering Thread XXIV: *Slaps Roof* This Thread Can Hold So Many Chand
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me tweak my work in progress 5 color Sisay shrines commander deck. I'd ideally like to bring it down to at most a $200 cost while retaining the theme and idea of the deck.

Re: Magic the Gathering Thread XXIV: *Slaps Roof* This Thread Can Hold So Many Chand
I'm no expert on deck building, but Elspeth, Jace, and O-Kagachi, at least, look a bit weird in the deck. I can kinda see Elspeth for her ult, but in practice, you're almost never going to get that off. Those could probably be replaced with more synergistic, cheaper cards.
