What mechanics/keywords do you wish they would print more of?

Please answer my question >>96976044

>>96976080 (OP)
>What mechanics/keywords do you wish they would print more of?
Exalted.

>>96976080 (OP)

Casualty. Unfortunately it only has two decent cards.

>>96976080 (OP)
Is there some sort of dumb or worthless cantrip or instant/sorcery that you can continuously play from the gy? Something like Squee the immortal but as a non permanent of any kind. I just want some sort of 1 mana spell I can play with every turn.

>>96976080 (OP)
>What mechanics/keywords do you wish they would print more of?
Radiation

I got my Seizan deck built. Now time to test it out. I have no idea how it will do or what it needs. It's got high mana cost for sure.

Sorry sweaty you are looking for /cedhg/

>>96976101
Stuff with Escape is probably the closest you can get.

>>96976132
I mean I know escape and flashback and a plethora of abilities that let you play the spell again for alternative costs. But the only thing I'm looking for is a way to play the same non permanent every turn, ideally cheaper the better. I want something like I can use to abuse stuff like benders water skin.

>>96976147
Whim of Volrath with Memory Crystal out? Stuff like this doesn't really exist because it would be so easy to abuse.

Is Kraven finally the commander Chevillechuds were dreaming of?

which guy for artifacts?

>>96976080 (OP)
I know who I'm building next guys.

I feel like an idiot for just now realizing this since she comes with Haunted One, but this could be a lot of fun with backgrounds.

>>96976178
He can't keep getting away with it!!!

Who would work best for a monored flying men deck?

>Grenzo
+ Cheapest cost, can double as a goad commander in a pinch, red has awful flying men so he can lean into goblin tribal
- His impulse is theft which makes things a little awkward

>Rose
+ Offers impulse and ramp in one, which doesn't need to be cracked right away
- Max of three junks each turn so a super wide board doesn't translate to super card advantage, also this character is awful lorewise

>Smellerbee
+ Haste enabler, wheel-draw means actual cards in hand
- Smellerbee (what a retarded name) needs to actually attack and he's just a 3/3

>Duchess
- Holy shit she sucks so bad

>>96976241
>she

>>96976265
I only play video games that are on the PS2, so I'm not familiar with the character. Is it actually a man or just a joke about the muscles and general lack of femininity?

>>96976273
It’s canonically a tranny

>>96976275
Sure she is.

>>96976101
the only thing I can think about is constantly paying for the soulfire grand master ability

>>96976101
if you have feather out, you can just recycle a buff spell every turn

>>96976275
Oh, that's a shame. I play with some really performative people and if Abby's my commander I'll have to hear a bunch of shit about it being "empowering" and all those other buzzwords. I'll have to do some thinking to decide if the card is mechanically interesting enough to be worth that. I wonder if this is how UB haters feel when they see a card with a fun effect.

>>96976290
He's memeing btw

>>96976287
I made a feather deck cuz I just love the idea of using the same cantrip every turn for draws. I just don't have much of a game winner other than aria.

>>96976255
Grenzo. If your only issue is using other people's cards then you have no issue.

>>96976319
is stacking buff spells in your hand every turn and then just going all out with some sort of damage copying effect not good enough?

https://moxfield.com/decks/-qyjxOjzm0ObMsMHMqyp3g
my initial attempt, seems too light on ramp?

>>96976327
umm.. define "UB"?

Someone played this with X=0 the other night and said it's some of the best mono-white draw available :\

>>96976525
i don't believe you.

Thirty (30) starting life is objectively superior to fourty (40)

>>96976511
UW but black

>>96976207
Are you feeling white or black?

>>96976194
I do kind of want to make Kraven. I wouldn't even include that guy in the 99
> doesnt do the thing until your next upkeep
Yikes/cringe

>>96976217
Whomst've?

>>96976080 (OP)
>TQ
Blitz, Casualty, Connive

>>96976589
Holy based

>>96976207
I love medicant core cuz he's cheap and you can pump him out early to get the speed count going in the beginning. Later on you can copy big stuff with just a minimum set up.

>>96976101
I like this one

>>96976611
Huh that's not bad

>>96976611
Hey so you just pitch a land for extra cost AND it DOESN'T exile after use? So you can do this as long as you have land to pitch? That's pretty cool.

>>96976327
The fact we have had exactly one real fantasy magic set in the last full calendar year is insane. What the fuck happened to this game?

>>96976616
retrace is a fun mechanic. This is my favourite one. Bonus points because it's a sorcery that does literally nothing when it resolves.

>>96976550
It was a game of PreDH :^)

>>96976255
Smellerbee is a girl.

>>96976080 (OP)
>TQ
Meld. It's such a dumb inconsistent mechanic in a 100 card singleton format but it's cool trying to fuse the pieces and flipping to one big oversized card. Think it would be cool to see how they'd revisit and explore the idea more.

>>96976735
I once melded mishra and it immediately aggroed the entire table. Mishra was the only threat i had on board but i guess the fact i pulled off a meld offended the sweatier cedh dropouts because they then focused me out of the game the next 2 turn rotation.

>>96976630
Never thought about that this is an empty sorcery with just a cast trigger

I thought maybe this printing was cheap or something when I bought it for a dollar but it's actually more expensive than the urza destiny's version? guess I got a great deal

>>96976630
Oh damn I need this in my Erinis deck.

>>96976749
>cedh dropouts
>can't handle a creature with no protection
I think the dropout here is you

>>96976749
>make a super strong, aggressive threat
>people kill it/you
>HURRR CEDH DROPOUTS
you're a faggot.

>>96976794
>super strong, aggressive threat
Just because there is a lot of text on his fusion monster doesn't make it good

>>96976786
>>96976794
man you always respond fast with the same kinda strawmans.
feels like a nerve got touched.

>>96976101
Things with buyback or the cards that suspend themselves for a few turnsare close

>>96976749
Checks out. Always seems like when the meld finally happens you're either in a position where you're pretty much winning anyway so the meld didn't matter or you're effectively already lost and the meld was more of a for fun play before being taken out. Both cases it doesn't really matter. I'd like to see more of these just for the fun of playing big card and see how they can play with the theme.

What cards should i look for to make a thematic but preferably not overly oppressive Nicol Bolas deck? I'm absolutely including Cruel Entertainment, for example.

>>96976837
yeah, too often one half of the meld card sucks, or it costs 5+ mana to meld to a mediocre creature with no protection.
I think Urza's like the only one that can kinda, sorta, maybe swing a game. Maybe Brisela even further down the line.
