Cool deck idea, but there's an issue with the copy-making part of the plan. Both Bonny and the Beau token are legendary, so you won't be able to keep more than one copy of either on the battlefield if you make more.

Why the Cabal Stronghold land when you have NO basic swamps?

could use a bit of crowd control; I do get the hilarious meme of 1 creature, all voltron, but... it will fall flat against anybody with half a braincell, and I want to see this succeed. I'd throw on some targeted removal, some enchantment stax, etc.

You can only cast spells and activate abilities when you have priority. Each time before a player receives priority state-based actions are checked and performed. If any are performed, they are checked and performed again. Only once no SBAs are performed (and no triggered abilities are waiting to be put on the stack) do players receive priority and are able to activate abilities.

TL:DR No, you can not activate abilities before SBAs are performed.

Balor isn't a modal spell. It is a creature spell, and the creature represented by the card has a modal ability. It has no interaction with Riku of Many Paths

So I understand how Riku of Many Paths ability works with a spell like Simic Charm but was confused if casting a permanent such as Balor would work, does it even count as a modal spell and if so do I get to pick anything for Riku?

Thank you in advance

  1. Cast Twinflame targeting Etali, Primal Conqueror  Flip.
  2. Make token copy of Etali, trigger Etali ETB.

Q: Can I sac one of the Etali's with Food Chain before game state action makes me remove one.

  1. Put -1/-1 counter on Devoted Druid to untap itself.
  2. Tap for Green mana, repeat step 1.

Q: Can I activate Tayam, Luminous Enigma's ability and remove Devoted Druid's 2 -1/-1 counters before it dies to game state action?

Nice deck, I'm a big fan of esper ;) How about something like Pemmin's Aura, Patriar's Seal, Freed from the Real to abuse Ertai's ability ;) and maybe some token generation to always have something to sack?

And just for clarification, each of your commanders track commander damage separately.

So 8 combat damage from one and 15 from another is not lethal Commander damage, as neither have reached the 21 threshold.

Here is the WPN site explaining whats and hows of the event. I assumed that it was the link originally given, or else I would have provided it as soon as this thread opened. In the "how to run" section to stores it unfortunately says that won't work "Commanders that already have abilities like partner won’t let players have more than two commanders at this event, but we applaud their enthusiasm. Remember that the extra commander still counts toward the 100 cards in their deck."

But that makes it rife for a whole new level of abuse. In my Magic Christmas Land, I get to Dress Down on my opponent's end step and then Evoke Nulldrifter which means I get to draw cards because of the cast trigger but not have to sacrifice it. And maybe kill a Territorial Kavu in the process.

I'm just left wondering how they call it "Sans Mercy" and don't include the card No Mercy... Unless that's part of the joke? In that case, well played, Wizards. Well played.

Also, I agree the art looks amazing!

Myr Replicator

Artifact Creature - Myr

When Myr Replicator enters the battlefield, if it's not a token, create a token copy of it.

Whenever another nontoken Myr enters the battlefield under your control, you may pay mana equal to its mana value. If you do, create a token copy of it.

3/3


So the thoughts are, you exile it and get 3 treasure tokens. Assuming you have a fair build at this point, you theoretically can free cast it with the affinity for artifacts.

Now, as you exile more Myr, you get more treasure, which could allow you to freecast more Myr.

And when you do cast those Myr, you'll be getting the chance to make not one but two token copies of it, because you'll have two Myr Replicators online. The OG and the token.

And this, of course, feeds into your affinity for artifacts, making it become cheaper and cheaper to pay for your Myr.

So as long as you are exiling Myr, you are making the treasure tokens to pay for their duplicates, which makes your next Myr easier to cast for free


So yeah make some Myr

MOAR MYR PLS

In fact....... Name the Myr "Forge Tyrant". That's actually fitting, for who and what they are.

If I had the money to get cards for a deck I could only play 3 or 4 times I would absolutely do Heartless Hidetsugu and Astarion, the Decadent. There's probably better one shot combos but having a tactical nuke like this in the command zone is a pretty good deterrent.

If I had to guess, it was planned for April 1st but got delayed. I have not seen one person that is interested in them, even though the art is great. I'd much rather have unplayable cards with great art like the last April Fools secret lair (featured cards like Mudhole and Goblin Snowman) than having them both look great and be hard to look at.

Hoard of the Forge Tyrant

Artifact

When ~ enters the battlefield and at the beginning of your upkeep, you may exile an artifact card from your hand. If you do, create a treasure token. If the card you exiled had a mana value of 6 or greater, create three treasure tokens instead.

: Add .

: You may cast a card exiled with ~ this turn. If you do, it has affinity for artifacts.


Create a card you'd exile with this.

For a fun one, Jegantha, the Wellspring and Progenitus.

Or how about going with Sliver-geddon and running The First Sliver and Sliver Overlord.

Or, because Urza, Lord High Artificer really needs access to all five colors, run him with Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch

Or perhaps you're just an evil person and you run Sakashima the Impostor so you can get a second Grand Arbiter Augustin IV on the battlefield.

Another pairing for those who hate their friends would be Maralen of the Mornsong and Ob Nixilis, Unshackled.

I presume that Nulldrifter's card drawing ability is a cast trigger and not an enters-the-battlefield trigger to prevent players from abusing it, as they can with Mulldrifter?

I have not started a thread about a Secret Lair product in quite some time, since WotC has been printing so many of those that I feel it is foolish to make a thread for each one, but their newest Secret Lair is so ridiculous that I felt that I needed to make a thread about it.

The newest Secret Lair (at the time of this post) is Sans Mercy, and the cards in it have awesome artwork, but they are ruined by the ridiculous font; why would WotC do a thing such as that? What were they thinking when they designed those cards? What does everyone else say about this new Secret Lair product?
