Hija guys!

Yesterday I had a pretty nice deck idea, I want to play a Stasis with Forsaken City combo. But only four untappable lands need me to play 4 Howling Mine and so I came up with the idea of playing some Shimmer.

Why Shimmer? I thought, every second turn I get all my lands untapped, my opponent doesn't. But I was unsure about it and looked some rules up (it is an extract from "phasing" rule):


702.23m: If an effect causes a player to skip his or her untap step, the phasing event simply doesn’t occur that turn.

And still, I am unsure if it works. So if I play him, does he do untap my lands, or not? And if it doesn't, does anyone of you know an alternative? (I know about Seedborn Muse, I just didn't encourage myself to split my mono-blue deck.

Do you have deck tipps for me? For defence I use Wall of Frost and for attack I thought about Avizoa.

Ah, before you tell me twice, Dichotomancy is considered to be my finisher.


Well, I have no complete dcek list yet. And that's why I am here! :cool:

thanks for reading,
daodras

There's quite a bit of discussion about stasis found here:

Given the rule you posted, it explicitly states you don't get phasing..so..no you don't get to untap your lands. Your win conditions also seem unusable. You never get an untap step, so unless your creature that wins has either a: a way to untap itself or b: vigilance, they won't win for you.

Dichotomancy doesn't seem all that stellar either.

they will phase in back at the beginning of your untap step before the actual untap.

unluckiy you don't have an untap step anymore, so they just phase out (same reason why Equipoise is so strong in Stasis.dec)

Root Maze
Forsaken City
Howling Mine / Rite of Flourishing
Equipoise

hardlock and win

the actual problem of nowadays Stasis decks is: why to build up such a preparation when you can win the same with Show and Tell + Emrakul /Hive mind?

it is even more safe then this..
