MTG Salvation

Will you move the primer to Tapped Out now that MTGS is closing?

Tezz is awesome. I haven't been running Gideons and haven't been missing them.
Karn never feels like a game breaker when I drop him in multiplayer.

I just finished another game where Oath of Teferi won it. One opponent had a Frozen Aether out and I surprise double activated Narset and got the emblem a turn early.

If I'm ultimating with Tezz, I think dropping lock pieces each turn would be the line rather than a PW, but it depends on board state. I'm probably going to sketch out an artifact heavy version to see if I can abuse him along with Tezz Seeker + Stasis

I haven’t got Teferi yet online put he is on my short list. I have him in paper but haven’t had a chance to take the deck out. Pretty sure it will be an absolute slam dunk.

I’m assuming the Rector will be cheaper online so I may get one to play with to test. Won’t hit until 7/5 and then will have to see what’s the prices are like. Think I’ll get Will at the same time to test before committing in paper.

Got in a game in this weekend. Oath of Teferi did serious work and changes the math on people who think they have time before ultimate.

Muldrotha with The Immortal Sun was a complete PITA, but got it removed for the right turns.

Regarding BBD, Will Kenrith actually looks decent. 6 CMC is a lot but the -2 Sol Rings all your important spells and it protects your board with the +2.

I’m still running Dovin Baan but every time I draw it, I wish it was something else. I could see cutting it from my list.

Part of me wants to cast Arena Rector into my own Lethal Vapors as a best case or a rattlesnake chump blocker at it’s worst. Unfortunately, it may just turn on all the dead Swords and Paths people are holding. I’ll test it online once it gets put into Treasure Chests

I managed to get my Teferi the day before they spiked in paper, just arrived along with Oath of Teferi! I really need to sit down with my list and figure out what I’m cutting. My list online has diverged a little, since I haven’t had a chance to ad the new Nicol Bolas either online. I’ll post my changes once I have them. What is everyone else doing?

I see Primevals’ Glorious Rebirth, and my mind immediately goes to an all-in dredge deck that tries to Replenish ALL the planeswalkers into play. Sounds like a horrible idea but fun. I’m stoked for this set

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS

Oath of Teferi - 3WU blinks a permanent upon ETB and you get activate loyal abilities twice. Wow.

Teferi, Hero of Dominaria - 3WU 4 loyalty. Draws cards, controls problemsome permanents, Ultimate wins the game off doubling season.

Probably making room for both of these.

Was trying to paste in card descriptions but MTG Salvation is being junk and blocking me for Non Latin Unicode blah blah blah

Mox Amber (0 mana cost artifact, taps for any color of legendary permanent) looks awesome and will be a commander staple and very useful for a WUBRG deck full of legendary permanents.

Jaya Ballard (Mono Red, instant and sorceries matter)
Baby Karn (Mono Brown, no idea looks like trash) EDIT: I don’t think I read this read this right. Card draw machine. But it gives opponents choices, more expensive than Rhystic Study or Phyrexian Arena. Another tool but not auto-include?

Neither of the planeswalkers look perfect for the deck on the surface, though both look strong in the right shell.

There is a lot more I haven't worked through. Full leaked document is on the mothership now.

When I play online, regardless of deck, I find most people never pay for the tax on Rhystic Study. The player with Rhystic Study usually wins. I try and explain to people that you need to treat it like a Sphere of Resistance, but the average ability is a little on the lower side in the rooms I'm in. 1 mana vs. 1 card, that is a no-brainer.

I would think about running it for sure. Too bad I don't own a second one in paper and I just got a nice Apocalypse Phyrexian Arena.

I don't see anything particularly in Rivals. Quick question, is something up with MTGS notifications? I'm subscribed to this thread and haven't received an email in forever

Hey Trav, what is the salt level of others when you play this deck? Online I get either "holy crap this is cool" or cranky people that either berate me or just go AFK (which is kind of common on MTGO actually in EDH).

I'm finally making the plunge to putting it together in paper. I don't think my local shop would probably tolerate it as my sole deck (I have others) but just curious what kind of reactions people get IRL.

Apparently casting Time Warp and Temporal Manipulation as 5 mana explores to find land drops to cast Time Spiral gets people salty. Other highlights, Ral Zarek won all 5 flips on MTGO. Not frigging kidding. Ended up winning with an Elspeth Knight-Errant emblem with Elspeth, Sun's Champion + Rings of Brighthearth out (love that legendary rule). Oh and taking like 6 turns in a row. That helped.

Finally got a game in but I still love the deck.

Horrible but infinite with doubling season. Unfortunately without haste on the tokens, you can't win the game on the spot

The planeswalker uniqueness rule is gone! You can now play all the Jaces you want! Very curious to see what changes could arise. I'm going to strongly consider Captain Sisay

Sterling grove is completely legit if you have a slot. Always a powerful card in those colors
