With the way extra turns work, you'll still lose first from a hive minded last chance.
Oh crap that's right. While the person to your right will be the first person to resolve, yours will resolve last which means you will be the first to get the extra turn. I guess I just have to go with the pacts idea (or find some cool shenanigans. Maybe cast Angel's grace. (or counter the final fortune before yours resolves. (let them all resolve and then gets to you where you counter it.)
Still these are spells i can run in narset with no worry.
I would argue that stax is one of most interactive things you can do in EDH. Every single stax tool is an interactive card, if you chose to not run answers for these cards that's on you not the stax player, these answers being using ramp/draw and removal for artifacts and enchantments, all things you should be doing anyway.
I play stax for the same reason I play combo, I enjoy putting people in difficult positions where they really have to work to win, my greatest fun is seeing someone come back from the brink of defeat to grab victory.
Title basically says it all. I have a blue black zombie mill deck, and I often find myself milling away key artifacts and enchantments from my deck, so far the only things I've found are graveyard shuffle effects. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I feel like the fight shows they learned lessons from the last demon that 4 of the 5 fought, Jace stayed out of sight, Gideon was used as secret weapon while Chandra and Nissa were throwing haymakers. Lili shows her true face to the gatewatch, and they react in a very hypocritical way, they were going to kill the demon, how brutal it is matters very little. I mean they are on this plane to assassinate another walker.
My biggest take away, each set being drafted as a stand alone means that balancing limited is going to be easier without necessarily making standard weaker. One of the main reasons we don't get good removal or counters is because they are too strong in limited.
I find the human angle boring and overplayed. A whole multiverse out there and humans seem to trigger their spark far more often than any other race of beings. How about an Aven, Jackal, Sphinx or Naga walker from this block? Pumping out human walker after human walker in the same combination of colors as before is predictability plain and simple. A Fantasy world should be that, Fantastic not routine.
Humans are the most populous race in the multiverse so it makes sense....also boring though it is Wizards market research shows people relate better to human characters.
True, yet people have pets of every Kingdom of organisms under the Sun. Its a Fantasy world, throw some fantasy in there Wizards. Its getting to the point I'm rooting for Bolas the kill off the human-centric Gatewatch because they bore me to death. And while we are talking "diversity", why is it just about every human walker is always between the ages of 18-25 and ALWAYS in superior physical shape/beauty? Yes I know the answer, market research indicates. Its starting to feel like the old Ford Model-T slogan. You can have any color of Model-T you want as long as its black. Variety is the spice of life Wizards, spice it up!
Oh I completely agree, its boring and bland, and i'm wondering where this market research comes from, who are they polling, are the results skewed?

Circu and Phenax are likely to get less hate, Oona is more of a combo and win general.
I'd personally go with Phenax, hes hard to remove and what your wanting is a very unique take on mill in EDH,and a Salvaging Station package would reduce his drawbacks.
Simple question. Necropotence, the card defined the game for a time and it encompasses everything that I love about the color Black, your life as a resource.
With black you could use Blood Funnel to counter your spell.

Demons are one of my favorite creature types and since Shadowborn Apostle came out I've been trying to think of a way to use it, inspired by a build using Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper as the commander I decided to ditch the red and opt for Meren for the free recursion she offers. The normal game plan is the get out Apostles and bloodbond march and go from there ,basically an unanswered Razaketh, the Foulblooded just wins the game. Rotlung Reanimator, Xathrid Necromancer, and Pawn of Ulamog function as token producers on death triggers. Eldrazi Monument is a key win condition. Exsanguinate and Torment of Hailfire are also win condition when backed up with Gaea's Cradle and/or Eathcraft.

"If you were paying attention, you would know."
Thats my classic response, especially since my commander sits beside my deck with a die on top(to denote commander tax) of it when not in play.
