Feb 4, 2014Druki posted a message on Launch Giveaway!Spirit of the Night. When I was starting out, I loved big big creatures but black was my go-to color. This ended up with me doing some sort of shenanigan to get them out a little bit quicker, like playing multiple rituals out or reanimating them. While cards like Avatar of Woe or Scion of Darkness are some of my faves, Spirit is my favorite. If anything, it just has a weird but creepy/cool art.Posted in: Announcements

Discard Worldspine Wurm to his second ability targeting Stuffy Doll = lulz
Bant gets us Cackling Counterpart and Geist, which fit well into this deck. It also gets counterspells, that new Cyclonic Rift, bounce, and whatever Azorius feels like tossing this way.
I think Bant will push away from the shenanigans of gaining 10+ life a turn and instead add some control or evasion. Either way seems viable.
I had this idea, too, when I first saw her.
With her on the board, Angel'ing a Thragtusk nets you:
-15 life (4 from angel, 3 from the token, 5 from Thragtusk's ability, and 3 from Thrag re-entering)
-a 3/3 token, perfect for Populating.
Heck, even Cloudshift the Thrag gets you 11 life and a token, an amazing deal at one W mana.
Basically, this is the deck she was made for.
I have a friend who is getting back into Magic. Back in the day, he used to play a five color Bringer deck that was pretty good at shenanigans. He could combo Bringer of the White Dawn and Mindslaver to essentially force you to stop playing or just end the game with a Door to Nothingness. Cards like Joiner Adept and Channel the Suns pulled everything together, with smaller cards like Pentad Prism, Conjurer's Bauble, and Chromatic Sphere helping along the way. Serum Visions was also in there too.
However, when he got out of Magic, he disassembled the deck and sold about half of it. The stuff that got him money anyway. He wants to rebuild it but update it and polish it a bit.
Unfortunately, I cannot provide a decklist due to the circumstances mentioned above. However, I can provide you a list of cards that I remember being in it.
-everything prior to this that's using card tags was used
-Bringers of the Red, Green, and Blue Dawns were also used
-Bringer of the Black Dawn was NOT used
-the deck ran basic lands ONLY
-Legacy Weapon
-Story Circle
-I'm fairly sure the deck had no black cards in it, even lands
If you can help me update this a bit, provide some ideas, estimated costs, and suggestions, that'd be awesome.
This is being planned as a casual deck. Therefore, if you can keep this pretty cheap (~$50 since we have about half of it already), that'd be awesome. Also, since this is casual, feel free to suggest things on the banned list for Modern (i.e. replacing the Serum Visions with Preordain).
Thanks!
-Champion of Lambholt (as someone pointed out already)
-Mutilate (right before the Ult is popped)
-Artful Dodge (if you splash blue)
-Ghostform (splash blue)
-Tricks of the Trade (blue)
Anything else that could help?
With the exception of Niv, lulz.
It weird, because I wouldn't think a very aggressive ability (that we've seen) like this would be in Rakdos; rather, I would've expected something like this to be in Gruul (under a different name maybe).
Jace vs Someone. Because people love the blue-mana mind taker.
However, with precedent showing that Wizards doesn't like using the same character twice (honestly, "Garruk vs. Liliana" 2 would have made more sense but whatever), I'd probably put money on Gideon vs Ral, if he's in RtR.
In any case, think the two could be related?
Mass Arrest is in all caps. I think there was an art/pre-order card name that was spoiled a while back that might be related. Supreme somethingorother.
Anyway, speculate. Arrest but on a mass scale. Also, Zivan might be important. Speculate that, too.

I would really love to believe that this is a mox but, as others have pointed out, it just doesn't seem like it. Pretty sure we can all agree that it will fix mana, though.
Anyway, speculating on Orzhov, I really think a Morbid-type mechanic would offer synergy with Haunt. Something that cares about or makes you want creatures dying every turn.
Death Usher 1B
-Death Mechanic- - When (name) dies, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature.
1/2
Pocket Sun Titan 2WW
-Death Mechanic- - When (name) dies, return target nonland permanent with CMC 3 or less from your graveyard to play
2/3
Basically skipping the middle steps of Haunt, I guess.
New spoilers would likely be done at their PAX Prime events. They've done that before in the past, right?
If I had to be hopeful for GenCon, I would hope that the artwork for the second RtR planeswalker would be shown, especially if it isn't character whom we haven't seen before.
It'll get it, but it'll enter the battlefield tapped.
Bam, instant classic.
I'm new to box mapping, but those appear to be foil sheets. Are they the same placements as non-foil sheets?
