MTG Salvation

Command Beacon is now a good way to get Ith to your hand, if your group doesn't let you suspend from command zone.

The price graphs on TCGPlayer, the one that shows the fluctuation of price by card, seems to have disappeared. Anyone know what happened?

That is strange. Have you contacted the developers?

I have not. I thought it was just a problem with the card database. Besides, I thought the developer was sued?

That said, I presume this problem could be solved with a token archive. I will check out the token page for files.

EDIT: Can't find the thread about tokens.

Personally, I welcome a little chaos on the playing field, as long as there no menace. However, judging by what you said, he's very aggressive and could be a little intimidating with his behaviors. Your group can talk about rules and understandings beforehand but as many have mentioned, you cannot force a player to do assessment.

When that happens, the link to the token's image may be broken. You'd have to edit the tokens file in cockatrice using something like Notepad++ in order to get an image of the token. There's a thread somewhere here (can't remember where it is at the moment) completely devoted to tokens. You can find pretty much every token ever made that's official and great tokens made by players for those tokens that haven't been made officially yet. Hope that helps.

Thx for the suggestion. I'm content with plain colors for my tokens, which the previous version of Cockatrice was capable of doing without problem. For example, if I want to create a red 2/3 Love Love token, I could just type in the desired info and it would show up, but in current version neither the name nor color would show, and I have to type in the Annotation to remind myself what they are.

I encounter some issues with tokens in the newest version of Cockatrice. If I give tokens name, they do not show up on the token once they are created. Also, if I select color/s for them, no color would be shown, only the back of a card as if they're flip cards. Has anyone else encounter these issues?

I'm planning on a deck with Ulrich of the Kallenhorde/Ulrich, Uncontested Alpha, which may end up taking a tribal/Voltron path. The benefit of Ulrich is that he allows you to play political and sniping blockers as you see fit. The bigger he is the more powerful his fight ability is, not to mention pumping creatures or himself when he transforms back.

What are effective ways of getting equipments in R/G?.

Godo, Bandit Warlord is your man. If you do end up giving Ulrich vigilance with your equipment (like Sword of Vengeance), his second ability also becomes relevant, giving your commander an extra combat step to beat face.

Oh yes, I use him in my Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest deck as well. Will it be enough? Or should I go with the more tribal route to keep all my creatures (werewolves probably) bigger over all, thus make both of Ulrich's abilities more threatening.

I like this battle a lot better than the Zandikar one. Why? Because you can see the flow of action, from allying with enemies to fight the same foe, familiar faces show up, and Sigarda teaming with Thalia/Traft to take on Brisela.

Although I was hoping for Odric to be here also. I suppose if the writer does that he'd take away part of Thalia's role.

Traft and Olivia remain my favorite characters of this chapter. He's literally asking Thalia to use the Force.

And in time of despair, Jacetice League will show up. Can't wait to see more Tamiyo.

What are effective ways of getting equipments in R/G? Hoarding Dragon seems to be the only choice that search for artifact specifically. Is there anything else?

Another reason I thought about elves and beasts are because they all have good search functions. Fierce Empath and Woodland Bellower comes to mind.

Warstorm Surge and Pandemonium also work instead of Purph.

As added effect, they also hit creatures.

In sultan colors, at times I see people add 1 Morphling and/or 1 Thornling to protect Necrotic Ooze. Morphing itself has the "untap" ability that comes handy when you need it.

You should find a way to give him vigilance. Tahngarth is great because of it. More common in those colors is haste and trample, either of which give him some help.

Look through the hydras--if you use elves, hydras love the extra mana (and the Gruul ones are decent).

Here's some random stuff that might be useful. I thought about a similar deck idea because he seems like political gold (I just haven't put the idea to paper yet).

• Wolfir Silverheart
  
• Kamahl, Fist of Krosa
  
• Mage Slayer
  
• Spellbreaker Behemoth

I wonder if aura is more feasible than equipment since that's green's domain, but most of them are not as persistent as equipments. The first equipment that comes to mind is Sword of Vengeance, which gives him pretty much everything it should have (sigh).

I do love your Naya approach, even Ferocious/Formidable approach would be interesting.

I'm thinking about making an Ulrich of the Krallenhorde/Ulrich, Uncontested Alpha voltron deck, mainly for multiple player. His ability to pump/fight becomes more worthwhile after he's geared up, and I figure in group game he could become a bargaining chip:

1) Pumps up a creature of your opponent's choice (can be done at instant speed if set up)
2) Fight any non-werewolf creature as a 6/6 or larger
3) Attack directly as an 8/8 or larger (just need the opponent right before you to cast at least two spells).

Now, I am thinking about using elves as support, because they offer great utilize and pumping abilities, although I see beasts and elementals can be helpful also.

Thoughts?

One of the smallest dredges around. And CA engine built-in. So surely it sees use. Somewhere.

One of my favorite creature when I was playing 60 cards, and a build in self-sac triggers a lot of things, such as Savra herself.
