  • posted a message on C18 cards - evaluation
    I dont consider myself an expert but these cards that have been spoiled seem really powerful.

    Lots of card draw everywhere and other sweet effects.

    Anyone else thing this set power level seems higher than usual?

  • posted a message on Emperor format questions
    Not sure if can go here of if it should go in the Multiplayer forums, so apologies if not in the right place.

    So in an Emperor game with 2 teams of 3, I get the Emperor can affect only two opposing generals and not the opposing Emperor, and the Generals can affect only their direct opposing General.

    However

    How do board wipes work?

    How do cards work that say all opponents?

  • posted a message on Aetherflux Reservoir Question
    So I'm more than a little bit fuzzy on priority and passing between players.

    I have 4 opponents.

    I activate Aetherflux Reservoir's second ability, then Player one gets a chance to respond to the activation, then player 2, then player 3, then player 4 and if no responses the ability resolves.

    Is that correct?

    Also when do I have to declare a target? When it is first activated and before everyone gets a chance to respond or after they have a chance to respond and it begins to resolve?

    So I animate Aetherflux Reservoir with Sydri, Galvanic Genius.

    I am at 54 life.

    I activate the second ability on the reservoir and target my opponent for 50 damage.

    Can they cast spells to kill me before they die?

  • posted a message on Bribery and Constricting Sliver
    So I cast Bribery and take a creature from his deck.

    He then casts Constricting Sliver and exhiles said creature I took.

    I then kill the Constricting Sliver.

    Where does the creature return to, his battlefield because he is the owner or my battlefield because that was the last zone it was in play in?

  • posted a message on Sydri, Galvanic Genius question
    So I'm pretty sure I know the answer however,

    If I animate Sword of Feast and Famine with Sydri, Galvanic Genius does the sword just become a vanilla 3/3 with an ability I can use or does it become a 5/5 with all the abilities of the sword?

  • posted a message on To combo or not to combo
    So I'm building an Atraxa Commander deck that is focused on +1/+1 counters and I'm wondering this.

    Do you all think it is worth it to put in the instant kill combo of Triskelion, Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, with Tooth and Nail for fun.

    If this is in the wrong section I apologize.

  • posted a message on Couple Questions
    I have an Omnath, Locus of Mana Commander player that I'm having trouble with.

    First, he is extremely lucky in getting Hall of Gemstone out almost every game and we all play multi colored decks.

    My first question is, how does Hall of Gemstone affect cards like City of Brass or Opal Palace?

    Second is there a card that absolutley hoses green like Karma does against black or Conversion does against red?

    My thanks ahead of time.

  • posted a message on Kaalia and Master of Cruelties
    This is a simple enough scenario.

    Kaalia of the Vast swings, Master of Cruelties is thrown into play attacking. No blockers

    Is that game over?

  • posted a message on Killing Sigarda's Voltron
    I am still learning all the new cards that have been printed in the time since I used to play but how did you keep her locked down if you can't target her?

  • posted a message on Killing Sigarda's Voltron
    I am currently playing a B/W cleric/angel/demon type deck, One friend is plying 5 color slivers and the other is playing B/G beatdown type thing.

    Thanks for all the really great ideas.

  • posted a message on Killing Sigarda's Voltron
    So last night, my play group got together and a one of our group introduced his new deck. "Sigarda's Voltron".

    I"m sure many of you are aware of it. You use Sigarda, Host of Herons as your commander and build most of the deck around making her indestructible, tougher, and getting her out as fast as you can.

    Needless to say he wiped the board with us several times. We simply could not deal with a creature that frequently got up to 9/9 and was indestructible flying over our stuff and dealing commander damage.

    How do you stop something like that? I mean even when we did manage to kill her, he jut brought her back out and we had to start the process all over again.

    I've been looking through cards and found a few answers but nothing reliable that will work in a 100 card deck besides rebuilding the deck from the ground up to fight her.

    Do you have any insights from how you've defeated her in the past?

  • posted a message on Banishing Stroke vs Commanders
    So here is my question.

    If I cast Banishing Stroke against a commander, does the commander go directly to the library as the card says, or can a player divert the commander to the command zone.

  • posted a message on Triskelion and Undying
    So here is the situation.

    An opponent casts Tooth and Nail and brings out Triskelion and Mikaeus, the Unhallowed. In response to this I cast Reins of Power before he can do his infinite loop.

    Now the question is, when Triskelion dies (after I begin the infinite loop), whose control does in come into play under? Mine or my opponent?
