psionictemplar on Ouroboroid of Hours

45 minutes ago

I'm going to preface this by saying I've never played a single game of pioneer or really kept up with the meta either, but these are my thoughts.

1. I'm pretty sure you built the deck around the idea of Ouroboroid + Sage of Hours . Kinda obvious, given the name.
2. You are trying to assemble the combo in thought #1 as fast as possible. That being said I don't think spells that sacrifice your creatures are want you want to be doing. If you can't assemble the combo, Ouroboroid itself is your best backup plan. The best way to make use of that is to have more creatures on the battlefield, which will be hard to do when you are sacrificing them to Neoform and Eldritch Evolution.
3. You have little interaction to deal with what your opponents are doing. Not in the sense of them stopping you but rather you stopping them. I'm thinking that you should trim some of the combo assembly pieces for more interaction, starting with the Neoform and Eldritch Evolution. What I might replace them with would be things like Inscription of Abundance, Hadana's Climb  ^Flip or Quandrix Command.
4. Add Breeding Pool or Hedge Maze if you have them. Improving your mana can be the difference between a win or loss sometimes. And if opponents hit them with Demolition Field or something, then you just grab the basic you need and it's almost like drawing a card (deck thinning).
5. Simic Ascendancy as a backup plan? Probably too slow, but might be something to consider.
6. Other card suggestions: Incubation Druid and The Ozolith.

Done. Will try it out at soonest opportunity. Now I just need a more original name for this thing. And a sideboard.

Any thoughts on Diregraf Horde instead of Gray Merchant of Asphodel? I think you have enough direct life loss with the Gempalm Polluters and Shepherd of Rots, and the Horde offers three bodies to support those cards, or fodder for Corrupted Conviction and Village Rites for a final push.

Always discard. Can't hurt me if you got nothing to hurt me with. And since there's enough discard, discard punishers, and small-hand punishers, I'm going to in a Locust Miser direction.

Each player's maximum hand size is three.

1/2

Wild. If you need ideas, here's a randomizer. All rolls are six-sided dice (d6).

First roll is mana value.

Second roll is color. 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-multicolor, roll again twice.

Third roll is card type. 1-creature, 2-instant, 3-sorcery, 4-enchantment, 5-artifact, 6-your choice.

Fourth roll is effect. 1-removal, 2-noncombat wincon (burn, mill, "you win the game", etc.), 3-scry/surveil, 4-combat pump/buff, 5-resource gain (ramp, lifegain, draw, etc.), 6-your choice.

Now that I think of it, I could probably add a browser extension as well.

RufusTheGrufus, I hate to be the well,

guy but to be a Bracket 3 deck the maximum number of game changers you can have in the deck is 3. Reference is the official Wizards site Commander Format: Game Changers. Other than that, I do like your take on Anikthea. I'll definitely be referencing it for any ideas as I to am a bit of a Anikthea enthusiast myself.

Icbrgr, thank you! I was really worried that my browser was secretly lying to me and the page looked horrible lol. At Wihito's suggestion, I turn most of the css coding off for mobile devices. I don't want this deckpage to be a resource hog for small screens.

Making a non-legendary copy of Lonis opens the door for some crazy possibilities since the Lonises could target each other. Even goes infinite if you have an artifact sac outlet like Grinding Station.

I love watching folks crack packs and do deck techs. Your deck gets a +1, deck cycle, and a subscribe on Youtube. Question - do you play games online? I play on both Convoke and Spelltable. Might be a fun source of content to have tappedout exclusive games.

Mortlocke on How Did Atraxa Fall So …

Hey Venum, You are preaching to the choir regarding your points about Atraxa. As for poison, the table banding together once you assemble a dangerous enough boardstate is a natural progression of playing the archetype. I carefully assembled and pilot "that Atraxa deck" - I think that when the table or even one player makes it their mission stop you it should be received as a high compliment. It means you're doing something right, some decks are naturally going to be the Bolas at the table and that's fine - as long as everyone at the table agrees as according to the meta and the bracket system. On that same note - yes, I also assembled and pilot "that Sliver deck". What can I say? I have a type :)

Separately, what have you been brewing up lately? Also do you play online at all? I play on both Spelltable and Convoke. I'm always down for a game.
