MTG Salvation

[Whenever ~ enters the battlefield for the first time each game, create the emblem, “At the beginning of your end step, you get a doom counter. You lose the game if you have over 4 Doom counters. Whenever a spell or permanent you control reduces an opponent’s life total to 0, remove this emblem and your doom counters.”]

It says you must play a nonland card to use your mana for drink related things. Does this include countering drinks with blue?

I find it interesting that no one has brought up cards to deal with the chance of you actually drawing your beaters.

Scroll Rack and Brainstorm seem like great adds (if you have the budget for the former).

Blood Sun should be run anywhere there are bounce lands.
I find it odd that this card gets almost no use when there are some many people running bounce lands especially in red.

I am going to bump this, as it has been two weeks without a response or a fix.


Please let me know if I should be going through a different avenue to get things fixed with the deck builder functionality on this site.


On a side note:
In the database 'Essence Symbiote' is listed as Essence Symbiont

Hear me out:
Horde of notions commander deck.
Sneak in Maelstrom wanderer.
Flash in Niambi, bouncing MW.
Discard MW to draw two cards and then use HoN to recast it from the graveyard.
Profit.
Did you know there are 27 legal legendary elementals at this point?
Just saying.

Attempting to add Fists of Flame to my monored commander deck yields no results. It shows up when switching the deck format to casual, but then tells me I need to remove the card due to its color identity.

EDIT: It looks like the color identity is currently green instead of Red.

Klingons versus werewolves? Klingons all the way.

I was under that assumption due to the wording of the errata on Infinite Reflection. Thank you for clarifying.
It will be easier to relay to my playgroup.

Thank you!

With Essence of the Wild or Infinite Reflection if I mutate the “Prime” creature do all other creatures I control also get a mutate trigger or do they just “update” without a trigger as part of the continuous action.

Witch’s oven is OP?

People passed that **** over as chaff at first.


Stop being net-deckers. Look at every single card in standard and look at how new cards react to it. If you are net-decking people are already side boarding against you and you are already behind the curve. It is acceptable to start with a net decking base but by the time the list gets to you it has already been seen by your would be intelligent opponents and may not be built for your meta (server/LGS).


I’m only seeing one companion out there that should be cause for alarm if you aren’t running removal.
Mutate will only ever be up to decent because removal exists.


Also if you are so worried about that companion, the is the anti-companion/commander card in the same set. Drannith Magistrate.


This isn’t like the days of Urza’s Saga were you went in blind to a draft. We know the cards spoiled before they hit standard.
I know what to expect by analyzing all the cards but know what colors to lean towards by analyzing the commons.


You can’t tell me Gates and mono red burn aren’t viable. Know the meta, save your lunch money and only when you have triple checked your research, then get what you need ( which sounds like you need to get removal).


This is tough love.

First off, Lutri is banned. I feel like Lutri was a big reason why this mechanic got its sour taste.
Next off wishes: when using wish cards, the card itself allows a break in the color pie AND gives you more than one option of what you can grab. Yes there are colored Eldrazi and artifacts.
What if the monoblack deck uses death wish to cast vandalblast or worse, something like beacon of immortality that shuffled into their deck (mana rocks that produce any color are a thing, before anyone asks how casting these spells is possible)?
The deal with wish cards is that it doesn’t give just one extra card, it gives X where X is the number of cards in your collection and the best thing is, it only searches for the one you want, not all the others you don’t need, so you never draw into those cards either.

Wishboards=sideboards. No matter how you slice it, even if they are “worse” sideboards.


so companions: limit your deck build not just by color identity but also by their own printed limitations.
I wanted to ru the OP’s as my companion for a Golgari artifact deck but quickly realized that wouldn’t work as if need an artifact Golgari commander :/ hippo is defeated by void winnower. companions are so much worse than wishes.


While RC is not owned by WotC, they do have a responsibility to the player base. New mechanics interest people and get them brewing new decks which is good for the format. Day zero banning a card is bad enough, I remember the day zero errata that occurred pre-modern.
They are in a lose-lose situation too, the RC that is. Ban a mechanic before the player base gets to it and they seem overzealous and afraid of change. Let the players see how bused the mechanic is and they don’t get the pleasure of “I told you s because people will be asking why it wasn’t done from the start.


so companions for me? Sure. Silver border is also welcome to my table. If I don’t like why you re playing, I’ll find a new table.

swiftblade vindicator

vampire nighthawk and ilk
Spirit of the night

Let’s say I make Chimeric Idol a creature and then mutate any ther creature underneath it? Does it stay a creature when the turn ends?
What if I mutate a creature on top of it?
