MTG Salvation

Another idea I've seen for a budget mill deck is to use Brain in a Jar with Breaking // Entering. Because brain casts it from your hand, you can cast it on two counters but get both halves. Combined with some other mill cards, you can get good value and steal some creatures to stay alive.

I've been on Puca since late 2013 and would like to share a few comments I already posted to the subreddit.

The site doesn't have the information density or efficiency the old one had. But once I turned on the Lightweight mode, I was able to use it without any blocking issues.
The package trading is efficient and has gotten me more trades already. The condition support and language support has facilitated lots of trades. The MTGO support, while still experiencing some issues, is a major step forward in trading tech.
Yes, the UI needs improvement to clear some bugs and meet the standards for power traders. But the site is usable, more advanced, and a better platform than it was before the change.

The best measure for me is how many cards I can send and receive. Since the new site overhaul, I've been sent 4 Japanese fetchlands and have sent out two packages. I'm receiving more and sending more, so its an improvement in the most basic measure.

Because the card stays exiled and you copy it, if you blink or in other ways replay this guy, you'll get additional copies of the spell. In cube, this will go infinite with any cloning instant or sorcery, such as Rite of Replication.

This could lead to seriously brutal drafts. You can count the cards to determine who would get it if its last pick. If it is you, you'll be screwed because it makes the next pack's first few picks god awful. Great design!

Fantastic! I foresee many blowouts with Illusion of Choice.

I've paired my Modern staples down to 4x of each. The excess copies are used to get cards I don't already have. I keep these cards in perfect-fit sleeves and move them between decks as needed. The perfect-fits always stay on, thus preventing scratches and damage.

If you are taking cards out of a deck and don't want to forget what you borrowed from it, try sticking in a proxy card. I have a sharpie and I'll scribbed "GW Fetch" on a basic land when I steal the Windswept Heath out of a commander deck to put in a Modern deck.

The best use for Dramatic Entrance.

Spellshaper?

Quote from Crocodile »

No creature type Spellshaper? Either, I like this card a lot though I have no idea if it will make an impact on Standard.

I was looking for that type too. But keep in mind that Spellshapers that make tokens have to name the creature after the spell. So it would have to say "... named Walking Corpse" to be a proper spellshaper.

Apes, together strong!

Seriously though, it's pretty funny to read all this "I'm a rebellious planeswalker, but now I see that the power of friendship is way cool" saturday-morning cartoon show storyline in mtg. I guess as long as the limited game is good, it doesn't bother me much, but it still makes my inner english major cringe to read some of this stuff. Hire me, wizards! I'll write dialogue that doesn't sound like it was written for an episode of G.I. Joe!

I think her logic is reasoned and calculating. She will do anything for power, and she's found she is at her limit with these demons and the chain veil. Don't doubt she would drop the gatewatch in a second if it benefited her. But for now, it is in her interests.

There is a lot of danger to putting 4 cards in for 1 creature. I think the safer bet is Eldritch Evolution itself. That said, I grabbed a SP/MP playset of Allosaurus Riders for a couple dollars, just in case.

Flavor set to MAXIMUM.

Would it really have been broken to name it non-sacrifice, at that mana cost?

I miss Venser so much

So, can we expect some kind of legendary equipment that Thalia uses to kill eldrazi?

Maybe a "Thalia's Lance" is coming.

how quickly are you guys find expeditions to be shifting?

I put an expo Fire-lit thicket up the other day as the normal copy had been up for months with no success but then the expo got confirmed to me within an hour

Raging Ravine and Academy Rector are two other cards which seem to be as dry as a desert

Since im a gold member, i just looked up raging ravine and blackcleave cliffs and while the average time they are traded is 5.3 per week and 1.3 per day respectively, it only shows them traded about once a month recently.

does anyone know when the trade history actually updates?

Try asking https://www.reddit.com/user/Wizard37, he's one of the Puca community communication guys.

How do you discover that folks live that close by? In my experience, people rarely mention where they live in their profiles.

In my case, its people I know from FNM who also have Puca accounts. But I know them first and foremost from real life.

I've gotten 3 expeditions to date, with about 6 months of having points. For the first, I offered a 5% bonus and accepted one with the factory crimping (which I sent into WotC for a mint replacement). The others just sort of showed up without any bounty or special work on my part. I think having my baby girl in my profile pic helps! So far I've gotten 2 Temple Garden and 1 Stomping Ground.

If you are paying the 15%+ bonuses, you'll probably get them much faster.
