i love the self-sacrifice theme. i’d probably try to fit some more removal, esp since ygra makes stuff like collective resistance quite appealing

scarwood bandits is hilarious. if you’re looking for that sort of stuff, force of vigor is quite fun with ygra, but less charming than bandits for sure

Why epicure of blood over marauding blight priest?

Archangel Avacyn? Courser of Kruphix/Oracle of Mul Daya?

FuzzyCactus @fuzzycactus.bsky.social · 27d

certainly seems like a card that could fill a similar role as vesuvan drifter, but easier to enable- the lack of on-demand graveyard reordering means i can’t really think of a way to combo with it but if someone has a way i’d love to hear it!

here's one I didn't expect to 7-0.

tendrils of agony for recouping lost life. also this would be a very funny zero-land deck with just mdfc’s, rocks, and rituals

it feels particularly bad in vintage cube where it’s more difficult to always have cheap interaction

Maybe a one-drop is a one-mana spell that can be played proactively? So, most creatures and permanents, but not something like Portable Hole, and some instants and sorceries, like Ponder and Consider, but not stuff like Lightning Bolt or Giant Growth?

Make Bartolomé unblockable to swing in for lethal commander damage, card engine with Lurrus, fits nicely into the Oswald package, bonus points cause Bartolomé is a vampire so it’ll also gain you life.

etali mill win has gotta be one of the dumbest ways to win a momir game

Arena Midweek Magic Momir game in which Etali, Primal Conqueror exiled both players' libraries on account of there being no spells in either one.

Seems like a good summary to me.
Firmly anti-Urza, he was a loser and his hot wife deserved far better.

Urza's saga with one word ripped from random cards assembled into:
Part 1
Discover Thran artifacts with your Brother get into an Argument over Dibs
Start a Brutal pointless War
Destroy Nature
Plunder Nations Commit Genocide

part 2
turn Dominaria into a Wasteland
Forcing People to play COLDSNAP
Light your Spark then bail on the Mess you made
Apologize by using Eugenics to create an Army of Fodder to fight Phyrexia
Refuse to destroy Phyrexia Because it's too Cool

Part 3
get Betrayed, lose your head, Tell People to Assemble a
Nuclear Bomb Out of random
Garbage you Collected, then shuffle.
Enchantment Land - Urza's Wild Ride

*extremely* tempted to remake my hellish momir vig deck and put this work of art on a playmat to use

I’d like to also nominate Entomb as an all-star with this card. You can entomb it to reanimate later, or, once it’s in play, entomb any creature to put that creature directly onto the battlefield, since the entombed card technically goes library -> graveyard- even at instant speed!

Entomb {B}
Instant
Search your library for a card, put that card into your graveyard, then shuffle.

very fun 7-2 in mixup draft with the ol flyers + equipment. despite feeling kinda outclassed at only 2/1 base, angel of invention still won me a lot of games, so maybe my gut instinct of feeling it was understatted by modern standards is not founded in any reality.

Esper draft deck with flyers and equipment, and some other stuff too.

7-2 result in an arena Mixed-Up Premier Draft.

just a normal turn 3 board state.

Many lands and large creatures in play on turn 3 of a brawl game on Arena.

FuzzyCactus @fuzzycactus.bsky.social · Apr 16

yeah, i agree that she’s definitely a great source of damage. my deck is mostly built around a density cheap cantrips digging towards high MV creatures and the occasional splashy instant or sorcery

FuzzyCactus @fuzzycactus.bsky.social · Apr 16

interesting, it’s a very different direction from what I was considering but has some very cool cards

incredibly good taste
what’s your eshki list? i’m working on my own eshki deck atm and would be interested in seeing what other people have come up with
