General Fight Club

[inscho]

I see you aren't running:


This is one of my favorite pump spells in red. Playable when milled into your graveyard. Double spell triggers. Bananas with Dreadhorde Arcanist

Of the two you listed, I prefer Boots

 

[Velrun]

me too! looking forward to a Professor of Symbology that draws instead of learns

May I introduce you to Thraben Inspecter? Or is it too low power? (It’s honestly quite high power and super fair)

i’m on Thraben and Craben Inspector, but i WANT MORE

2x thraben inspector

 

[PyreDream]

Thraben Haunting W
Sorcery
Create a 1/1 white Spirit creature token with flying.
Investigate.

A smidge too stronk as a creature, but just about perfect as a spell, methinks.

Fengraf Fallen B
Creature - Zombie
Fengraf Fallen can't block.
When Fengraf Fallen dies, investigate.
2/1

Same, but Gravecrawler variant with investigate seemed okay.

Restless Provisioner G
Creature - Human
When Restless Provisioner enters the battlefield, choose one:
- create a Food token.
- investigate.
1/1

Cynical Investigator R
Creature - Human
When Cynical Investigator enters the battlefield, you may discard two cards. When you do, investigate and create a Treasure token.
1/1

Building an Innistrad cube got me thinking about Careful Study and madness enablers.

I'm really excited to try Boots and I've never run Madcap. Haste is super good and Equipment is a better card type than Aura.

I want a 4 CMC clone option (in addition to Phantasmal Image and Phyrexian Metamorph).

One can be cast cheap and resets an ETB, the other can be either milled for value or cast twice.

Leaning towards the latter because of the "free" GY value. Thoughts?

 

[Chris Taylor]

I used to run student and won many a game off sneaking in a hit with what ended up being primeval titan, but was originally a birds of paradise.
Love that card

 

[Brad]

If you don't intend to proxy, one is 100x more expensive than the other.

I think ninjas are neat.

 

[ravnic]

Vizier is stronger if your format is more card advantage oriented. If tempo is more important, the Ninja might be better.

 

[MilesOfficial]

I run Sakashima's Student and Stunt Double at 4 CMC, and I can't imagine getting rid of either of them...but now that I'm looking at it again, I want to put Vizier back in.....5 mana isn't that bad to pull him from the graveyard. I just don't think I could justify a third 4 CMC clone effect in blue, I run more clones than most as is.

 

[Zoss]

Vs.

I know, I know, six mana wraths with conditional upside are not normally what people are going to want, but humor me. I'm worried that if my environment wants a six mana wrath, however, that possibly getting a 4/4 flier out of the deal might be too good.

Delirium isn't explicitly supported, but there are sagas and artifact creatures and I run both the bicycles and horizon lands, so I'd expect this to be on 30 to 40 percent of the time. The delta may be too large, though. I think threshold might just be easier to enable.

 

[Sheltem]

I am not a fan of exiling all creatures. From my experience destroying and sending them to the graveyard opens up much more interesting plays.
And Descend won‘t add and creatures for your delirium.
Kirtar‘s wrath would get my vote.

 

[Zoss]

Good point on exiling! Had missed that.

 

[sigh]

If you want the creature-after-wrath you could try phyrexian rebirth maybe?

 

[Sheltem]

If you want the creature-after-wrath you could try phyrexian rebirth maybe?

That‘s another good one. Especially if your cube doesn‘t care about regeneration.

 

[blacksmithy]

yeah i’d side with kirtars or rebirth

 

[Rusje]

Well, if you are afraid that a 4/4 flying might be a bit too good, I can only imagine what that phyrexian monster would do... so I would suggest kirtars
Or

 

[sigh]

Yeah you would definitely have to consider the X/X, but at least it has no evasion whatsoever.

 

[Jason Waddell]

I feel like if you're shelling out 6-mana for a wrath, I don't mind the Exile. If they want the creatures in their graveyard, they've had 5+ turns to play a sac outlet.

 

[Nanonox]

Fun as a build around wrath!

 

[Brad]

I'd run this if I could:

Four simple words get the job done.
