A double blue spell doesn't make sense it that deck and they might just play another deck.

Or maybe we should just play goblins with true name nemesis, or maverick with true name nemesis.

People splashed Green in Merfolk just to play Gofy. Also a Blue and Taxes deck made day 2 of the GP so the deck may have some merit.

Jund w/ TNN isn't too far fetched considering Jund splashed blue for JtMS back in that Standard.

I was thinking something similar, although it still doesn't help the deck's real issue: it completely folds to combo.

Google translate means I can make enough sense to read the article but I do love some of the card names...

4 "mystic stone blacksmith"
4 "guardian of Sureiben, Sarria" Thalia
3 "Fairekushianohakisha" Phyrexian Revoker!
4 "nemesis in the name of true"
1 Mangara of "colon Doll "
1 Trio "" Vu~endirion vendilion clique
1 scholar of "creation, Venser"
4 "knowledge swirling" Brainstorm
1 "strike the skull" Batterskull

God i just got 56 new ideas of alters.

Mangara of Colon Doll seriously XD

I think the japanese names are more badass sounding.

Why is the price of TNN going up again? I was waiting for them to get cheap and in the last month they have been going down to ~20€ but what happened now?

TNN FNNS, BTCHS!

Actually we've definitely discussed using this guy to board into a man plan.

Nice Shitty Card Discussion thread.

This card has made me stop watch SGC entirely. Only boring decks and boring plays with him around.

I've had players become visibly ill when I Reanimate'd their TNN after a discard spell. /justice

In fairness, they are trying to cover fringe/fun decks during rounds. I just saw a replay of the Dallas one and it's good to see Lossett play Miracles, Di play Spiral Tide, some guy play Food Chain and Dredge.

I actually haven't seen TNNs on camera. Delvers on the other hand...

I had some discussion about whether Tabernacle affects TNN or not.

My opinion: It works due to the fact, that Tabernacle has a global effect ("each") and players "destroy" the creatures themselves. So actually it is YOU who destroys your own TNN! Is that right?
Going further: If a player announces HIMSELF while playing TNN, so that TNN has protection from himself, would that stop Tabernacle from working??

Thanks

Tabernacle's oracle text is:

All creatures have "At the beginning of your upkeep, destroy this creature unless you pay {1}".

This effect doesn't target, or deal damage, so it has nothing to do with protection abilities. The True-Name dies in both of your scenarios.

You're welcome.

Tabernacle > TNN > The Abyss
