Interestingly, in the German translation the Black/Green Bayou is translated as „Mangrovensumpf“ (mangrove swamp).

Not even a ... small change?

New (probably broken) mulligans for casual EDH

I had crap all to do at work today, so I sat down and invented some new mulligans for casual Commander. Please note that this was mostly an excuse to name mulligans after incredibly unlikely cities, so many if not all of them are probably completely broken or otherwise bad ideas. Please chime in with any suggestions, or hey, invent your own mulligans. I ain’t the mulligan police.

Pago Pago Mulligan

Draw seven cards. If you choose to mulligan, choose X cards from your hand and shuffle them with the top X cards of your library. Randomly place X cards from that pile back into your hand. Shuffle the remaining pile back into your deck. You may repeat this process, but for every n times beyond the first mulligan, you only place X-n random cards back into your hand.

Ho Chi Minh City Mulligan

Draw three cards. Scry 4, then look at the top four cards of your library. You may put those cards into your hand and stop. Otherwise, put those four cards on the bottom of your library and Scry 3, then look at the top three cards of your library. You may put those cards into your hand and stop. Otherwise, put those three cards at the bottom of your library and continue in the same fashion by Scrying 2 and Scrying 1. After the Scry 1 process, you must stick with the resulting four-card hand.

Vatican Mulligan

Draw seven cards. You may elect to set aside your entire hand and draw 7-n cards where n is the number of times you decide to set aside your hand [note: no free mulligan]. Repeat as desired. At any time after redrawing your hand, you may set aside your hand and draw seven cards. If you do so, that is the hand you will begin the game with. Shuffle all set aside cards back into your deck.

Rancho Cucamonga Mulligan

Deal three piles of three cards each from the top of your deck face down. Look at each pile and show two of the piles to the player to your left. That player hands one pile back to you and you draw four cards. Shuffle the unused piles back into your library. If you choose to mulligan, repeat the process, but with three piles of two cards each. After the player to the left hands you the pile, you draw four cards (filling your hand back up to six). If you wish to mulligan again, continue with three piles of one card each.

Antananarivo Mulligan

Draw nine cards and make three equal piles of your choice face down. You have two options:

In either case, if you are unhappy with your resulting hand, you may shuffle your hand back into your deck, then draw six cards and make three piles of two cards each face down, and repeat the process above. If you mulligan again, do so with three piles of one card each.

Osgiliath Mulligan

Partial Paris rules, however, any cards you pitch from your hand are exiled face down instead of being shuffled back into your deck.

Titanic mulligan: crack your deck in half and submerge beneath water

Did this make your opening hand better than one land and ramp you were about to take? Probably

How dare you call me out with such inaccuracies?

Of course it is two lands and (three mana) ramp.

Finally getting somewhat close to having a fully altered Rubinia deck. The thing would be totally altered right now if my indecisive brain could stop swapping out cards after they’ve been altered… :(

Sounds awfully familiar to me...I currently have around 120 or so alters for my Karador Deck, but the current list still contains 9 unaltered cards :-\

@forbidden-alchemist follow your dream!

Why don‘t you just build the deck with another commander first? In Jund colors you could use e.g. Lord Windgrace (he provides generic card draw/filtering, ramp and removal even without a special focus on Lands and with your opponents creatures being smaller, they have a harder time taking him down; also Doubling Season).

Then when a more fitting Legend is printed you just swap them out, but until then you can already enjoy your deck =)

It is Wednesday, my dudes

*doot*

No - they do nothing.

What was the card that got printed?

Genesis Storm. The original post had a meddling mage on genesis hydra but genesis storm gives you another functional copy

IIRC the puzzle was already solvable, but ONLY when you assume that it is a Commander game and that Derevi is your Commander (play Boseiju, flash in Derevi to untap it, cast an uncounterable Worldfire or Merciless Eviction).

And the Genesis Storm answer also implies playing Commander, otherwise you never get any copies and the original is simply countered.

So I don‘t see this answer working either, unfortunately.

Or am I missing some crucial point?

EDIT: nvm, I just saw that you commented on my points already.

And this is why I don’t DE all copies of my cards. I was also able to DE 3 extra lackeys and a golden lackey which earned me enough dust to craft 2 new legendaries.

For those curious, here’s my plan for standard cards: 1) DE all extra copies of a card down to 1 extra 2) Keep a golden around just in case 3) If a card seems broken in half, keep as many as you can

I have 6 Gadgetzan Auctioneers waiting for whenever the banhammer comes back around to it.

I’ve been playing around with it in Standard, playing a midrange pally. A bit like even paladin but with Elise and Aldor and a couple other funky cards. It’s been doing okay. Loses pretty harshly to odd pally, but is pretty good overall. I don’t really play much so I’m only rank 19, but the ladder is basically the same from like 7-25 these days.

Oh, I still love the card. I was lucky enough to have a spare golden copy to dust. I still have two normal versions.

I had been playing odd pally and still would I think but I’ve been playing wild more. Currently testing an even reno warlock that’s felt pretty good

Mind sharing your Even Renolock list? I’ve been toying around with it myself, but am still unsure about a few things (e.g. is Bloodreaver Gul’dan worth it, with only 3 demons in the list?)

A local shop posted this question. Your opponent starts the game with this in play but has no hand or library and will not attack. Can you craft a way to win the game? You can start with any life total, and can craft your draws however you see fit.

They have hexproof, you cannot attack, all of their enchantments have shroud, they have Eidolon of Rhetoric in play so you can only cast 1 spell per turn AND Erayo’s Essence so the first spell is countered anyway. Oh and all permanents enter tapped thanks to Frozen Æther and Back to Basics makes it so that non-basics like Cavern of Souls and Boseiju can’t untap.

I’ve been looking through cards for a while and I can’t come up with anything.

its actually really easy but obscure.

opening hand start with leyline of lifeforce 

draw basics till you hit 8 and cast kenderekt leviathon.

assuming they have no lands and no mana pieces this will bounce their entire board back to their hand and they theoretically can’t ever replay any of it (and if they can piecemeal replay pieces you can just deal with it with a variety of removal/getting to untap with boseiju).

now I can’t see what that other artifact on the right is but I think this should work. and using leyline of lifeorce I think there’s also some other options available to us

Wait until you have 9 mana, with 3 red sources and a green and black source. Abrupt decay the eilodon. Next turn, play a ornithopter that gets countered, play worldfire. Then draw a mountain and a shock or something.

Eidolon can’t be targeted

Basic Mountains into Obliterate...? Or am I missing something here?

Ah, yes, Avacyn :-l

So I just playtested this in my Unesh blue shenanigans EDH and its actually good. Its great against a turn 2 Demonic Tutor or any tutor the opponent taps out to play. It can also act as a distraction for your opponent’s removal. On top of both of those, if you bounce the enchant those cards are trapped in Hand Jail forever

PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM

Like really often, Sam!

I feel let down by the entire mtg community for not letting me know about the German name of this card

german card names are the best

Don’t forget the classics

I need to pick up Zoo and play a Wild Nacatl followed by a Wilder Nacatl and watch my opponent tremble in fear

I can only guess at the pronunciation of Gott der Überfahrt but I’m giggling

Can anyone help?

@tezzeret ?

Gott rhymes with the English word lot (as in a lot of).

Der rhymes with chair (not quite, but I couldn’t think of another example).

And finally Überfahrt...the ü is prononced by saying “ee” (as in “see”), but with round lips (I hope this is any help), the -ber- again rhymes with chair, and the -fahrt is indeed pronounced as fart. The whole word is stressed on the Ü. And it means passage (or literally: drive (Fahrt) over (über) something).

I know he meant to type Alpha, but top-down Hawaiian Set, when?
