    Card/Deck The Simic Combine

    Though it's a sorcery, Aether Mutation is probably better than Supplant Form in most situations. Goes well with Evolutionary Leap, Edric, Spymaster of Trest, Bident of Thassa, Bow of Nylea, etc.

    I had a very similar thing happen last time I played. I remember someone saying, "That's just...creepy," with everyone agreeing, and I was like oh no! Fortunately, I went undetected. Apples to Apples is a great reminder that most normal people aren't as fucked up as you are.

    Liliana of the dark realms I've been considering this version of Liliana. Her +1 gives you land for landfall, hand-fodder for discard/Brainstorm, a shuffle effect every turn, thins your deck, etc. (Also I run a mono-black mini theme with Phyrexian Obliterator, Lashwrithe & more.) I can't...

    General Draft Strategy

    I've mostly been pulling walkers out lately on the basis of how easy they are to draft and play. Elspeth-6 is a very bland, high value 6-drop. If you're playing white midrange or control, there's virtually no bad time to play it, and there are very few questions about what you should be doing...

    Card/Deck Fair Tinker

    I might experiment with Tinker. Since I'm running a welder theme already it actually fits pretty smoothly. Don't forget about artifact lands! They're an important support system to themes like this. Also, let me say this: squad Myr Servitor has mostly been a success. These are some of the...

    Card/Deck The Simic Combine

    Part of the issue could be that blue and green are the only colors without permanent, efficient removal. In order for a Simic aggro plan to work, you must take advantage of tempo options, which is a fairly specific game plan. In general, slower archetypes rely on removal to last into the late...

    For the most part I feel the same. I have played a few "puzzle" levels that have been really wonderful, however, especially if they still require you to pull off some difficult acrobatic stunts. For example, the very beginning of one level (New Super Mario Bros. style) had Mario trapped behind...

    I've only made one level so far, but I did put actual time into it. Here's the ID for it if anyone would like to give it a go: BE4F-0000-005A-78F9

    Perhaps move Fire // Ice over to Izzet and cut something there? Goblin Bombardment just seems too essential to me. It enables so many things. Also, if you're trying Trigon of Rage, you might want to consider Power Matrix. A bit slower but free activations are really nice.

    General When Is Fixing Too Good?

    I've gone back and forth on this as well. Currently I have 15 blank, numbered cards (1 through 15) as part of the main draft which establish the Utility Land Binder pick order at the end. (Each "pick" actually means two picks, just to speed things up.) This means that some players can stock up...

    Yeah, so what is up with people not picking Mox Diamond super high? Is that just my play group, or do other people experience that?

    I don't have any issue with other people enjoying EDH, so it seems totally unnecessary to bash it as a format. But then I have friends who want me to play. I don't want to play, but we're stuck at five players, and I'm already at their house, and that's what the other four want to do. So I...

    I'd be wary of Champion's Helm giving hexproof. I'm not anti-hexproof, but I'm very selective about where it feels fair. I'd probably pick Morningstar. Armory is SO slow.
