    • [NEO] Patchwork Automaton

      Didn't see a post on this, was surprised tbh

      Whenever you cast an artifact spell, put a +1/+1 counter on this.

      Workshop, this, a few moxen and a sphere is rather great right? Not to mention counter interactions. Or has MUD just completely died?

    • RE: [NEO] Reality Heist

      I think this card is made more for a Belcher shell with all the new blue flip lands. It's Dig 4-5 to get that Belcher asap.

    • RE: [NEO] Boseiju, Who Endures

      In the decks that would run this it's not even 2 CMC its 1 "most" of the time. Between Thalia, Thalia 2.0, Leovold, and a plethora of other legos used in GW dudes I'm probably not thinking of (Gaddock Teeg come back? Don't need FoV with this now do we?).

      Also, as far as just recurring to remove duals from opps deck until they are out of mana, 4 of these, wastes, strip, and Dr. Shaman to eat said destroyed lands sounds like a very viable option.

    • RE: [NEO] Boseiju, Who Endures

      So this is a 4 of auto in BUG(R) and GW(R) dudes right? Like 90% of the time it's 1 mana instant that can't be countered that destroys Shops (the land and the deck), Bazaar, Moxen/Crypts, Oath, Fastbond, Remora (doesn't even trigger remora!) etc etc. This is actually dumb strong, especially with any Loam efx as stated about Wrenn. Wow.

      @moorebrother1 Why no Gush/Gitaxion probe?

    • RE: Mono Blue Delver

      @moorebrother1 I still suggest testing some number of Snapcasters/Ninja's. I understand Snappy might be counter intuitive to the massive Delve plan, so maybe it isn't great here, but Ninja of Deep Hours can turn an unflipped Delver into 2 dmg and draw a card, and will do so more often than you think.

      As far as other options to test off the top of my head:

      Guilded Drake/Waterfront bouncer
      Magus of the Unseen
      Cloud of Fairies
      Spellstutter Sprite
      Phantasmal Image

      I believe all these are mostly meta dependant tho, so will depend on that and testing to see what works. Best of luck! I have enjoyed BBS in all it's forms from Ophidian/Superman to Delver, and hope you do also.

    • RE: Mono Blue Delver

      @moorebrother1 Did you ever have issue with the 6 cascade spells, as in not having enough grave fodder? That's A lot of pitch spells, would having a one of Jace or ninja of deep hours or something to give you continuous draw be a consideration? No snapcaster in monoblue aggro feels icky. But I may be biased. Snapcaster into Ninja, into Snapcaster has won me quite a few games with this archetype.

    • RE: Serra's Emissary Oath

      @moorebrother1 Think you were replying to John Cox, not me lol. He asked about Rods, I asked how Abundant Harverst worked out for you overall as a cantrip (vs other blue cantrips I suppose) and how often it was need to either pitch to FoV, or how often you used it in a one land opener to find that 2nd mana source?

    • RE: Serra's Emissary Oath

      How good were the two Abundant Harvest? How often did you keep a 1 land hand with Abundant? I am aware it's probably needed for green count for Vigor, I just wanna know how you feel it compares to other cantrips? Thank you

    • RE: [AFR] Tasha's Hideous Laughter

      If I were to try this out in a list it would have to be some Mana Denial strategy with strips/wastes, maybe spheres of some form or another. The idea being that this will continue to mill (exile) all Moxen/Lands it hit's until it hits the CMC requirement. No you may not hit that key combo card, but you are likely to hit 5+ mana sources. Throw in spheres/Thalia's, wastelands, Revokers, Null Rods, Ouphes, etc etc, you can easily mana screw any current list. Just my thought on it.

    • RE: [MH2] Dauthi Voidwalker

      @moorebrother1 wouldn't Vision Charm just be better in general? More utility, just as much Mill.

    • RE: Jund deck

      Yeah, I would most likely try to go full shutdown and run Null Rod, Ophe, Thorn of Amethyst, and Trinisphere. With 4 Dr. Shaman, and 4 Noble Hierarchs I see no reason not to run Ancestral Recall and Time Walk, and if your talking 3 drop bombs, Hull Breacher, and Energy Flux are both great SB options vs Xerox/Combo, and MUD respectively, and are all easy to splash as they only require 1 blue.

    • RE: Nev’s Disk Reprint... Modern Guardian Beast variant

      Maybe a Tron Variant with Darksteel Forge, making all your artifacts Indestructible so you can blow disk every turn while keeping all your stuff? Not sure how often Tron hits 9 mana by turn 3-4, I don't play Modern, but I figure if they can consistently cast Ugin, then a disk and a Forge shouldn't be too unreasonable.

      edit: I just searched gatherer for artifacts with Indestructible that are in Modern, that's where I personally would start my search, and don't forget Counterspell is getting printed, and we don't know for sure the impact that will have on Moderns Meta yet as well, that's a HUGE change for that format.

    • RE: [MH2] Void Mirror

      alt text

      So this enchantment + Void Mirror in a deck with Ornithopters, all Moxen, Phyrexian Walkers, Memnites, etc, can make a viable "draw my deck, find win con, win" type of deck? I remember people trying it with Chalice before, but this honestly seems much easier to pull off, maybe? Just a thought I had when I seen this trying to take it in a different direction than "anti-stax" or "psuedo Null Rod".

    • RE: [MH2] chatterstorm

      This seems some good with that new Squirrel Lord Legend, easily making enough tokens to swing and win that turn. Who doesn't love squirrels. 😉

    • RE: MH2 Yuri

      @blindtherapy ah the way it read, I thought each coin flip was separate, thus separate damage dealt per. So if I miss all 5 flips it would just be "lose 10, gain 10"? Not 2, then 2 etc etc? Seems odd. But I am no rules expert I just read the card and try to be logical

    • RE: MH2 Yuri

      It's interesting that a simple spirit link removes all the draw back of this card. Maybe just "cute" but it would trigger life gain abilities in mass every time it swung as well with a Spirit Link enchantment/spell/equipment on it. Maybe a jeskai build using cards like Ajani's Pridemate or such (I don't know a ton of Life gain triggers in mtg), as the triggers would make them grow on attack. Just a thought that ran through my head looking at the comments.

    • RE: [STX] Detention Vortex

      Between this, Portable Hole, and Revoker, that's a lot of "lock" peices, or at the very least mana denial peices.

    • RE: [MH2] Urza's Saga

      Not really relevant, just a curiosity, for it's 3rd trigger, could you get a Zuran Orb, and sac this land for 2 life before it's 3rd efx makes it sac itself?

    • RE: [STX] Solve the Equation

      I think a deck with 4 Scrolls, 4 PO's, and Ancestral would be quite broken. Maybe to the point of running 2-3 of these as PO's 5-8 could be viable.
