After watching YouTube all day with people trying out Mind's Desire in various decks, I'm starting to think a more One Ring based artifact mana deck makes a lot of sense. Having permanent based mana...
Show and Tell costs 3 mana. The point is to pay 3 mana to cheat a significantly more expensive card into play. Grim Monolith doesn't help accelerate into Show and Tell. Ancient Tomb + Lotus Petal is...
In Show and Tell, that's literally 4 Lotus Petal. So you're expecting to sandbag Petals and a cantrip or two until you have enough mana to cast a couple of Petals, couple of cantrips, and then...
Yeah, you're right. Even worse for a Show and Tell deck, then.
The key wording here is Storm. How are you creating a Storm chain in Show and Tell prior to then resolving a spell that costs 4UU? Sure, if you Brainstorm an Emrakul on top EOT and then untap and...
Another interesting option is having Kappa Cannoneer as a sideboard juke for Storm hate. Sideboard stuff hasn't been discussed yet, but that's something mono black Saga Storm doesn't have access to. ...
Another consideration is taking a page out of mono black Saga Storm and running Urza's Saga. It's a powerful plan B for when the Storm plan is being disrupted, and you run a high artifact count to...
Wouldn't Defense Grid be better than Force of Will here?
You forgot Simian Spirit Guide, which means it costs 0 mana.
In High Tide? You're definitely going to have a high fizzle rate if you're only popping off with 3-4 Storm, which was what Lord Seth was referring to.
That's fair, I wasn't thinking about the instant speed for some reason. You'd still need a draw effect to use LED to cast the Doomsday, but that certainly would increase the consistency of turn 1...
Blue isn't on color for current Storm decks. Black, and to a lesser extent red, are. Sure, LED can get cracked for UUU and you have Petal and Opal, but the rituals don't make blue, so getting 4UU is...
Understandable, but is the difference between Mystical Tutor and Personal Tutor really that dramatic that it's going to make Doomsday that much better than it already is? Yeah you get to tutor for...
Some sort of High Tide deck seems the most likely place due the UU cost?
Orcish Bowmasters and Hullbreacher/Narset aside, Mind's Desire seems worse than Peer into the Abyss for Storm, and they...
This is a sample list of where I would start from myself:
Lands (18)
4 Flooded Strand
4 Scalding Tarn
2 Arid Mesa
2 Tundra
2 Volcanic Island
2 Island
1 Plains
I wouldn't run Daze myself, no.
Mentor has the ability to close out games just as fast as Delver, despite coming down on turn 3+, with the ability to close games out of nowhere. Doesn't mean it's better or worse than Delver, but it...
Cavern of Souls is critical for resolving a turn 1 enabler vs most of the format. Once resolved, the opponent cannot stop you from dumping your hand and reanimating all of the creatures from your...
Well yeah, I meant ones that don't ETB tapped. No reason they couldn't still do that in a Commander set.
Snow-covered duals would be pretty cool, and make snow decks a lot better. Same functional use in any other deck as a normal dual, and having 8 copies of a specific dual in a given deck seems...
Nahiri, the Lithomancer becomes playable now in Stoneblade decks?
You're forgetting Once Upon a Time, Ancient Stirrings, and Sylvan Library as other strong green options. Green has good cantrips now.
What graveyard hate are you talking about, exactly? It's not like the opponent simply draws into a single piece and then all of my gameplans are completely ruined.
Most graveyard hate is going to...
Terminus deals with most of those problematic creatures pretty well. Simply racing with Marit Lage or 2/2 zombie tokens also works. TNN as a clock is pretty slow, not even out-racing an Uro.
I get...
