So if I read that thread right, they flat out nerfed the **** out of splice. Splice is a niche mechanic with the only thing cool about about it is now gone. Way to go Wizards.
I posted in the other thread as well, but according to Eli the "nerf" does not seem to be intentional. Eli's response is here:
As I said in the other thread, I am not convinced this was intentional if it does actually work this way where it is no longer copied.
Yeah, after looking it your link, plus this one here seems to indicate that, yes, storm + splice works and the copies will make golem tokens or draw cards, depending on the splice spell used.

I'm assuming if I use life gain doublers, like Boon Reflection, that it will take less effort to get the 4 and 8 life portions to trigger.
I confess I did not think about it. O_O Would it be abusive enough that I should nerf the #?
Honestly, I would say no as it only counts the number of creatures with counters on them and not the number of counters, so it's still relatively hard to get the big 4 gain or 8 gain.

Whenever a creature enters the battlefield, you may exile an incantation card for as long as that creature is on the battlefield. As long as that card is exiled this way, that creature gains “Whenever this creature attacks or blocks, you may cast a copy of the exiled incantation without paying its mana cost. You can’t gain extra turns or phases this way.” (Instants and sorceries are incantations.)

The idea was that his food imbues the eaters with magic, including himself.
This conversation why if they print more wishes, I hope they are in the style of Mastermind's Acquisition, so that, if people aren't ok with a wishboard and/or wishes in general, you still have a card that can still do something inside the deck without having to remove it.
Well, i had 9 mana. One (Muldrotha Landfall) of my two opponents killed the other (Zedru) with 13 triggers from Ob-Nixilis, the Fallen after a Splendid Reclamationand shot me (Child of Alara Enchantress) down to 27 from 36.
I had 9 mana, Enchanter's Prescence and Argothian Enchantress in play. Managed to find the last land and i played my omniscience. Started playing card for card, drawing my deck and dumping out enchantments.
I looked at his board, thought how the hell im gonna win with this deck since it was newly built. Someone mentions he has Glacial Chasm in play. Started thinking and i had a Strip Mine in the Graveyard. Played Seasons Past and picked up Maelstrom Wanderer, Grim Feast, Wrath of God and Demonic Tutor. I could wrath his board and get a bunch of life since the Ob-nixilis was like, a 42/42.
Burning Graveyard
Land
Tap, Pay 1 life, Sacrifice Burning Graveyard: Search your library for a Swamp or Mountain card, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle your library. Use this ability only if you have a commander in play or in Command Zone.
And all the nine others combinations. It's perfect for EDH and affordable to add two or three in every future precon decks.
In addition to this cycle, I want them to do a cycle of dual lands that come into play tapped unless you have a commander in play or in the command zone, so that there is a cycle of dual lands to go with your cycle.

Whenever a land enter the battlefield under your control, create a Hive, a 0/3 green Insect token with defender and "At the beginning of your upkeep, create a 1/1 green Insect token."
Swarming creatures you control get +1/+1 and lifelink. (Insects, Rats, Spiders, and Squirrels are swarming)

I want more effects like Clever Impersonator and/or Helm of the Host so that copying noncreature and/or legendary permanents is easier. Something along the lines of this.

Create a token that's a copy of target permanent, except it isn't legendary.
My problem with buying from local stores is the fact that they ALL base their prices on those very same online retailers who do these profiteering tactics.

In most ways, yes, but the Closet allows you to turn temporary theft effects into permanent theft.

Next: A 2+ Color identity Partner with CMC 5+.
Do you have a list forthis 5 Color Enchantress deck?
Dimir: 30 Commanders
Rakdos: 31 Commanders
Gruul: 26 Commanders
Selesnya: 32 Commanders
Orzhov: 20 Commanders
Izzet: 21 Commanders
Golgari: 23 Commanders
Boros: 23 Commanders
Simic: 18 Commanders
Other than for completion, why do we need Allied colored decks? They have plenty commanders as is, and there are wedges that could still use more.
