MTG Salvation

Oh my! This card is amazing!

This card is really, really good in Commander. I am not sure it will remain legal.

Exactly my first thought, as well.

Make a deck with her and Yisan and tutor up creatures all. day. long.

Awesome, thanks. Both of those make a ton of sense and feel like my gut thoughts on those topics.

I think the thing that was holding me up on Disk was wondering if there was some unexpected scenario I hadn't considered. For example, maybe people were playing it late in the game after either dropping an indestructible creature and/or floating a ton of mana to allow for an immediate re-cast of Kozilek. But if those aren't common avenues of success, I'm all for not playing a card that hurts me as much as everyone else.

I'm jumping on board the colorless EDH train tomorrow for the first time with new Kozilek.
It's been a few months since I've played EDH at my LGS. Seems like it was fairly casual last time, but not sure how it plays now.

Looking forward to coming back here over the weekend for some advice based on my first read of the current meta.

Let me know how it plays for you. Don't be afraid to mulligan aggressively for ramp with this deck as it recovers really well assuming you can get the ramp start you want.

Definitely noted. I'm going in tempered expectations and expect to get whooped. Most of the current deck is stuff I just had sitting around (decklist). I didn't want to start heavily spending/trading for upgrades until I knew the exact power level necessary for the store.

There are a couple things on my mind heading into tomorrow I can discuss now:

1) Tokens. Last time I played at this store, there were a fair number of token decks running around. Have you ever considered Engineered Explosives to go along with things like Ugin and All is Dust? Any other options?

2) Nevinyrral's Disk. I see this come up in a lot of deck lists, but it feels like it can just as easily destroy your own plans since it takes out your mana artifacts. Do you play this, and, if so, what's the right way to do it?

For mobile viewers:

Can we get a re-host for mobile users please?

Pic so small.

This effect can't reduce the amount of mana ab ability costs to activate to less than one mana.

Awwww
But still fun

The non-Promo art for Lavinia is even better in my opinion.

Maybe it's just because the art is not big enough to see it in detail but does somebody else also sees what looks like a shadowy figure standing under the gateway on her right?

Probably Blood Operative

Yes, please. Do want.

No female players? Something needs to be done to fix this inequality. The patriarchy is clearly responsible for this

Solid bait. A+

And now we are applauding the trolls, huh. Wow, this forum is going south these days.

Nah. It's how you take the wind out of their sails. Acknowledge that they're not fooling anyone and move on with the conversation.

Things are fine. Just fine.

I've only read his Steelheart trilogy, but it was awesome and this was good news to me.

Seems likely, far cheaper to do digital than paper, especially when there's no way to actually cash out once you've put money into arena. Wizards are the only winners every time someone buys off there.

So like every other digital game. :]

I'm sure this is a 'feature' to Wizards, not a bug.

I think that says more about Wizards needing to adjust to competitive pressures than anything else.

That is the number one limitation in the game, imo
I have put $25 into it - that I got when I sold out of MTGO - and I have no desire to put more into Arena because it feels so much more wasteful
