dimir charm v. lim-dûl's vault

While I really like Silumgar's Command and I really like Dimir Charm, I'm not so sure they exactly occupy the same slot, if even just because they are so different in mana cost. I am, however, getting a little wary of the Command and how much it's actually doing for me. Looking at RBM's list...

That's exactly the problem with this card. It's less a 6/6 flier, and more a 4/4 to 2/2 flier with a buncha 1/1 deathtouch backup. If all 6 power is attacking, you are probably really far ahead on board already. I think the most unfortunate thing is that using the ability has a decent chance of...

I think it's definitely blues color pie. Blue involves transformation, and in general solves problems it can't bounce by enchanting them with stuff. This may not be exile/destroy -> get something else, but it's definitely the same space

Guess I got the Curse of Chains I was looking for after all

Probably not enough to be worth a slot :(. It's very awkwardly placed between durdling lands into your yard and ultra turbo ramping. I guess it's kind of in the slot of Life from the Loam, but at least LftL sticks firmly to the durdle plan. Bomb in any sort of GY edh tho

My cube is having a field day with this set, being GY design and all. And in such a setting, control could very well be happy discarding what's left of their hand for immediate value.

Concentrate + beefy prowess body for cbeap sounds like a sweet deal late game. Dumping hand into more gas sounds sweet too. I'm not sure where the issues with the card are coming from?

In standard right now: Spell queller + essence flux

It's got the old wording, if you kill it in response (sac, bounce, whatever) the spell's gone forever

How much mana do you think this reliably gets cast for? 4-5? Was looking for replacement for Avaricious Dragon. Think I found it :)

Shamizy's approach is the real deal when it comes to themes and stuff. You can't just jam something into a format in a vacuum, you've gotta provide it a network of incidental support, backup plans, secondary things to be doing. Great post.

But then they get one, and it's your turn to face it, and then them again when you get blocked, etc......

I honestly do not agree that Black is bad here. Removal spells are this cards best friend. T2 this into T3 to the slaughter/whatever will be really hard for any but the lowest to the ground creature decks to stop, and that goes for T4, T5 etc

It's a lot more like a free Mystic Speculation, and in a GY format even better than that.

If I can find a slot for Selfless Soul, there is a lot going for it. I run dauntless escort in one of my EDH decks, where it is perennially one of the most useful/frustrating to deal with utility creatures the deck has. Soul is one mana less, one color, and evasive? Sign me up :). I frankly...

I love Bring to Light. It's not really a Simic card, though. better for a rainbow slot.

I'm liking it too! Just have to watch that I don't make my GB too good, better than it already is :P. Tbh, I'm not overly concerned about making one card (young pyro) a little worse, especially in a non-jeskai color pair.

I like Ruinator well enough. Could probably find a slot for it, even if only to give a nice creatures-in-the-yard sign, and as a reason to be in blue, caring about zombies. Switching out something for Sidisi, Undead Vizier solely because the awesome interaction potential with G+G, so really want...
