Thread: Strixhaven (Back to School[s of Magic] this April)

    Re: Strixhaven (Back to School[s of Magic] this April)

    Dragon's Approach
    2R
    Sorcery
    Common
    Deal 3 damage to each opponent.

    You may exile Dragon's Approach and four other cards named DA from your graveyard. If you do, search your library for a dragon and put it into play. Your deck may contain any number of cards named DA.

    Holy crud!!! Finally a combo card I can get behind. Likely degenerate as fuck given the tutoring and zero mana requirements, but still, COOL CARD.

    The text is

    Dragon's Approach 2R
    Sorcery (C)
    Dragon's Approach deals 3 damage to each opponent. You may exile Dragon's Approach and four other cards named Dragon's Approach from your graveyard. If you do, search your library for a Dragon creature card, put it onto the battlefield and then shuffle.
    A deck can have any number of cards named Dragon's Approach.

    So you still have to cast Dragon's Approach, you can't just exile it from your graveyard (and you'll need 5 copied at least for it to work)

    Are you sure you have to cast it? Those don't look like dependent actions to me, but I'm really far from a rules guru so I could be completely wrong.

    It's a sorcery. To do anything it has to resolve.
    If it was an activated ability there would be a cost and a colon.

    It's still feasible to get four of those into the graveyard quickly, but is there a dragon that's worth the effort?

    Is this the best Thrumming Stone Combo?

    Are there any redundant A+B combo pieces which could be made use off?

    It's just gift ungivens for creatures < X - even for the lowest value of 1, gifts is better (unless there is a 0 mana combo which I doubt)

    Pretty good combo with the new Conspiracy Theorist. Birgi already saw play in a few red Stompy lists. A repeatable draw 3 for 0 mana is pretty strong.

    It puts the creatures on the battlefield. So it's more efficient as X gets bigger. For some kinds of creatures, it can also matter that they come into play simultaneously.

    Llanowar Elves, Fyndhorn Elves, Arbor Elf, Elvish Mystic (probably not that exciting)

    Boreal Druid, Heritage Druid, Quirion Ranger, Wirewood Symbiote?

    Coiling Oracle, Elvish Visionary, Multani's Acolyte, Silhana Wayfinder?

    There are cute piles with allies.

    A fundamental problem is that it's putting a bunch of mana into a single spell that can be countered.

    Another white wincon for Chain of Smog.



    A rather interesting mana rock. How do you reach 10 counters fast, though? Proliferate? Any other tricks?

    The first that comes to mind:


    Keep in mind though, that you still need to have a creature deal combat damage, since it's all one trigger (I'm pretty sure).

    And of course Gilder Bairn as well, but the same thing applies.

    That's what gatherer spit out for me as well. But then I remembered something far better:

    Winding Constrictor is on curve and significantly cuts down the numbers of counters you need before you can win.

    Is that a problem in a deck that presumably plays Allosaurus Rider?

    Speaking of which:

    http://www.magicspoiler.com/mtg-spoiler/research-body/

    "Create a 0/0 Blue and Green Fractal creature token. Put X +1/+1 counters on it where X is the number of cards in your library."

    Is there a UB janky ramp deck running Allosaurus Rider that could abuse this? To my knowledge this is the first card unconditionally putting in this much power as such a low CMC.

    I mean Depths puts in 20 power for CMC zero, so that's a difficult floor to challenge. Sure this could put in more power, but so far there's no incentive for making your opponent doubleplus dead.

    You obviously run it in a Battle of Wits deck to assert dominance.

    As the rock learned with the monkeys, asserting dominance is key.

    "Silverquill Silencer" WB
    Creature - Human Cleric
    As Silverquill Silencer enters the battlefield, choose a nonland card name.
    Whenever an opponent casts a spell with the chosen name, that opponent loses 3 life and you draw a card.
    3/2
    It's no Meddling Mage, but I wonder if there's any application for this. It's also a Cleric - if that's relevant. 3 power is also nice.

    Without meddling mage humans could consider going straight WB and then get to play real non creature spells (plow/rip/silent clearing x4, thoughtseize, deafening silence, actual basics, etc).

    Meddling mage and hierarch are the main reasons the deck is 5c.
