MTG Salvation

The Cage seems stupid in sideboards. Turn off Undying, turn off Flashback, turn off Green Sun's Zenith, turn off Unburial Rites? For one mana?

It's because Mirror-Mad Phantasm is looking for "a card named Mirror-Mad Phantasm." In cases like the Cudgel Troll, the ability is referencing that specific instance of the creature. So, if you had two Cudgel Trolls out, paying for one wouldn't cause both to be regenerated. In effect, "Regenerate Cudgel Troll" reads as "Regenerate this creature," hence the ruling for Necrotic Ooze. Mirror-Mad Phantasm, however , is a different case entirely.

Also, I want to try out that Mirror-Mad Ooze deck. It looks like fun :3

I don;t think so, and I don't think they will. Emblems aren't even permanents. There's no way to interact with them at all once they're in play.

True, but they're handy to have in order to remember that they exist. Especially now that there's one that isn't redundant in multiples, and that you can rather simply get more than one of in a game.

Anyway, I'm sure Inkwell Looter will post one soon enough.

That Rage Extractor deck sounds like fun.

I played against a UB control list that ran Army of the Damned as a win condition. I had a whole lot of point removal.

Quote from Mr_Crow

I thought I would change it up a little bit on what was already

Looks really cool. You mind if I ask what your process was for that? It looks like you've just glued the legal text and P/T on top of the other part of the card. I wouldn't be able to stand having that one bit raised above the rest of the card, but I don't think I can cut precisely enough to have them flush with each other and lined up properly. :/

Quote from Mr_Crow

That is a good bird general and I have ben debating it but I still think mono w is stronger

Well, you wouldn't have to actually run any blue cards. Just a small blue splash for your general, and you won't be casting him terribly early anyway. He's only got the one U on him.

Quote from jubajuba

I would think Kangee, Aerie Keeper would be the perfect bird commander?

This. And maybe Artificial Evolution to make your token generators spit out birds? As a bonus, if you put it on Darien he actually becomes a bird in addition to making birds.

Also, I dunno how heavy of a bird-flinging theme you want, but Voltaic Key and Rings of Brighthearth let you double up. And I think if you have both out, with a cannon, and you find a way to make infinite colored mana, you can combo out by casting and sacrificing your general. But I think by that point you're pretty deep in Magical Christmas Land.

Made one of those cropped sideways generals for Vorosh. And a sponge, which turned out much better than expected. Have pics, but...iPhone camera, horrid quality.

Next will be Mimeoplasm.

You should play whichever of the Odyssey eggs wind up being in your colors. Surely there's some sort of recursion engine you can set up to make Fling work? I'm fairly Johnny, but I don't know old cards well enough to help with this. Which sucks because it's an awesome theme idea

Whatever colors you play, you have to have some sort of Fling effect or you're doing it wrong. I don't know if those exist outside of R though. Airdrop Condor would be fantastic if you could sacrifice birds for it.

Quote from awesomer phantasm

my roommate was talking about using spray adhesive to mount them on something and then pouring clear resin over the top to make into coasters. she hasn't done it yet but that seems sweet. especially if you used them in a game and just kept your beer on top of your general.

As expensive as EDH decks can get, I don't think I'd want a beer anywhere near the battlefield, much less smack in the middle of it.

I don't think anyone's saying that there's anything implicitly wrong with your format, or that it isn't worth exploring. Just that it isn't EDH, and this is the EDH board, so it really doesn't belong here. Maybe try the casual forum?

...and in my Mimeoplasm deck, I like to use it as a shuriken when he deals lethal unblockable damage.

You're my hero.

Quote from therestless

*crop them to fit in a sleeve*
*never know if your general is tapped or not*

Vorosh? More than likely tapped.

Also, that is crazy awesome, and I'm doing it as soon as I get off work. Then I'm going to grab a bunch of commons and make one of those sponge things.

<3 this thread.

Moon Heron!

I don't know much about moonfolk. Maybe Burgeoning if you're in green...?
