@Ace: I think the whole point of Prison Term is that it can move off of Evershrike whenever you want. E.g.: You're opponent casts, say, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. Upon the casting of the spell, you in response activate 'Shrike from the graveyard. For {5}, you bring 'Shrike back, with Term on it. Then, when Emrakul resolves and enters the battlefield, you have the option to re-enchant Emrakul. Pillory does not have a re-enchant effect, and so would be useless as instant-speed removal.
The ability of Unscythe, Killer of Kings states that when a creature is destroyed by the equipped creature, you may remove that "card" from the game to put in a 2/2 Zombie. What if the destroyed creature was a token? Technically, it still goes to the graveyard, and the ability doesn't specifically ask to check if the creature was a card. Do I get a Zombie?
Except the Braid of Fire mana dissipates at the end of your upkeep. It's fine to pump at the beginning of your turn, but usually these kinds of decks swing with a few creatures and only pump with what gets through. Spending mana prematurely kind of ensures the creature will be blocked.
"Multicolored" simply means a card is more than one color. It can be 2, 3, 4, or 5 colors. Shadowmoor dual-coloreds are still multi-colored. So yes, having a Cinder and Grimblade out would give Grimblade the boost.
Hey, I have a question. It focuses on Goldmeadow Stalwart. I'm pretty sure that I read on another thread here that additional costs for spells may be paid in any order, but I was wondering when those costs are paid in respect to the casting of the spell (you can't cast a spell without first tapped land for mana, for instance). So, could you tap a Plains and reveal a Stalwart in your hand, and then cast the same Stalwart?
Hey, I've been looking around the forum for a while, but I can't seem to find a decent free MTG app for iPhone. Specifically, I'd like to have a life tracker capable of keeping track of up to five life totals. If not five, at least four.
Thanks! Also, if you know/have any other good free iPhone apps for MTG, I'd love to hear 'em!
Ah yes, now it appears to be working. Don't know what was wrong before. Looked to be something with the domain. Thanks for the help! I look forward to having some fun with the software!
Hello, I am very interested in downloading this, but the site appears to be down. However I try to get to the site, it says "to connect to database server". It's like I failed to log in correctly, but I don't think I need to log in to view the website. Do I?
As far as I can tell, yes. Shirei specifies the cards entering the graveyard as creatures, but note the lack of descriptors as it mentions what comes back to you. It labels them as simply "cards". This is mainly to bar tokens from illegally returning to play, as they disappear when they leave the battlefield, but it also means man-lands would be brought back, even if they aren't creatures by the end of the ability.
We all know the General 21 is how most EDH matches end. However, some cards (like Vengeful Archon) Prevent the next X damage you'd take. If a swing came in at you, with more than just an opposing general, could you choose to first negate that general's damage, and then worry about the other creatures? Or is all damage added up, so unless you negate the other damage first, you take the general's damage?
Yep, it was only a matter of time before I delved into serious CA-based decks... First off, I have no easy access to either Hymn to Tourachs or Hypnotic Specters. If I did, I'd remove the Abyssal Specters and the fourth Rat/Liliana's Specter for 3 Hypno's. I don't know what I'd replace Hymn for, though...
Thanks! Also, if you know/have any other good free iPhone apps for MTG, I'd love to hear 'em!
Thanks for any help.
Anyways, here's the deck:
2x Abyssal Specter
4x Ravenous Rats
Sorcery:11
4x Duress
4x Mind Rot
3x Raven's Crime
Planeswalker:1
1x Liliana Vess
4x Liliana's Caress
4x Megrim
3x Necrogen Mists
4x Quest for the Nihil Stone
Artifacts:3
3x Necrogen Spellbomb
Land:24
24x Swamp
4x Liliana's Specter
Sideboard is for multiplayer games, which my playgroup does often. Specters for Rats.
