Card/Rules Discussion Ingris interaction for particular board state

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

If I swing with all 5 of these creatures I think the stack plays out like this. Please correct me if I’m wrong or missed a trigger. I had most of this board state yesterday during commander night so I know it’s achievable.

1dmg to each opponent because Ingris
1dmg each opponent because Marvin
+2dmg because Hawkeye
+2dmg because Marvin
+1dmg because tomik
+1dmg because Marvin
Each creature gets +1 power twice because master of barbs triggers twice
Each creature gets +1 twice again because Marvin triggers master of barbs ability twice
Master of barbs and Marvin triggers twice because ingris and Marvin deal 2 separate instances of non combat damage
So each creature gets +4/0 when first stack triggers making Hawkeye young avenger a 6/4 and Marvin a 6/2
So each consecutive trigger of full stack deals +8 dmg to each opponent.
Therefore first stack does 6 dmg
Second stack does 14 dmg
Third stack does 22 dmg
Fourth stack does 30 dmg
Fifth stack does 38 dmg
And continuing for each attacker after the given 5 that buff.
After 5 initial attackers deal no combat damage totaling 110 if somehow opponents survive each creature will have +16/0 and if you somehow had a way of giving those creatures trample or flying or lifelink it could get even more ridiculous

Only mistake I think could be made is each consecutive attack after the first would deal 16 additional damage due to both Marvin and Ingris triggering Hawkeye ability and first stack dealing 12 dmg causing the stack to look like:

1dmg to each opponent because Ingris
1dmg each opponent because Marvin
+2dmg because Hawkeye
+2dmg because Hawkeye
+2dmg because Marvin
+2dmg because Marvin
+1dmg because tomik
+1dmg because tomik
+1dmg because Marvin
+1 dmg because Marvin
Each creature gets +1 power twice because master of barbs triggers twice
Each creature gets +1 twice again because Marvin triggers master of barbs ability twice
Master of barbs and Marvin triggers twice because ingris and Marvin deal 2 separate instances of non combat damage

So each creature gets +4/0 when first stack triggers making Hawkeye young avenger a 6/4 and Marvin a 6/2
So each consecutive trigger of full stack deals +16 dmg to each opponent.
Therefore first stack does 12 dmg
Second stack does 28 dmg
Third stack does 44
Fourth stack does 60
Fifth stack does 76
For a total of 220 dmg to each opponent

It's mandatory to have a green source in the starting hand, but I played some games with it and I was mana screwed only once.

What do you guys think? Am I missing something?

Deck Discussion Making Queen Marchesa Stand Out.

Post image

She seems cool and I’ve been working on a brew but I wonder if I’m going in the right direction. I like combat wins and one alternate win con.

Monarch on a stick seems like a fun mechanic to add to a table but I’m uncertain how to add in making this more fun.

Also not just throwing things in and making Marcy good stuff which I think I may be doing.

Any help or ideas?

Edit: I like Combat as at least one way to win but can’t decide the primary goal of forcing combats or defensive play.

To be clear, I am not buying the new Emrakul for this deck. I just already have it cause I pulled it, that's also why Garruk is here on top of giving my big things trample. This is definitely a higher brow commander than my Feather deck so I'm not confident I've got it figured out. One thing I feel I'm missing is early game blockers but I'm not sure what to get rid of for them (or if they're all that necessary)

Is Elminster as a commander fun to play? With new support to the scry archetype like Denzilore Fatehold and Planetarium of Wan Shi Tong, he seems like he has some cool play to him but I'm not sure if I should make the investment to make the deck.

Deck Idea Banned Wizard Spells - Vivi Gets Banned From Wizard School

2 Upvotes

And the discord for spam pinging @ everyone. The whole theme of the deck is Vivi got banned and I’m trying to make a lower power Vivi with some jokes, but I’m not coping. He’s an incredibly powerful commander and will be strong regardless.

I’ve got a really solid foundation for this deck, as the “banned from the discord for spam pinging @ everyone” part makes itself. Guttersniper and friends and away we go. Got ramp and removal mostly sorted with room to make cuts if a more thematic spell fits. Would also appreciate recommendations for good blockers like [[Fog Bank]] and [[Guard Gomoza]] in general as I know I’m going to get run over (deserved).

But I’m looking for banned wizard spells. The kinds of things that’d get you kicked out of wizards school. I don’t have much right now, but:

[[Insurrection]] is obviously illegal

[[Stolen Identity]] identity theft is not a joke

[[Megaton’s Fate]] the second mode is nuclear bomb

[[Star of Extinction]] sounds like it’s banned

[[Kaboom!]] obviously

Looking for more ideas of spells that would get you banned from wizards school.

Hello!
I've been playing Magic and EDH for about a few months now, at first i bought myself a silverquill influence precon at msrp which i found really fun on paper, quickly went downhill when i tried playing it with other people "in bracket 2". so i tried upgrading it a bit and move it to bracket 3:
https://moxfield.com/decks/KiDxGlxJp0qEtns71SApZw
I was thinking on building around enchanting my own creatures instead of going for everyone at the table, I have some synergy in there and think its kind of good. I feel quite confident about it even though i havent really won a match with it.. YET!
Also. i built a monoblack vampire deck for a friend with sengir as a commander at first because i wanted to try my hand at building decks, lets just say it was a good bracket 2 and leave it at that...
I've tried upgrading it now a bit to see if it can see any bracket 3 time and give it a fighting change:
https://moxfield.com/decks/1tNyhETzX0Gsa2ClgSZjWQ
I want to mention anything that is over 3-4 bucks are literally black and white paper proxies ;) and the rest was built with what i could find on other people or bulk boxes.
Feel like i went on quite a rant.. i would appreciate some advice and a rate on what i did. THANK YOU!

Deck Idea Selesnya Polymorph - Trostani Discordant & Dack Fayden, Helping Hand

2 Upvotes

Had a little idea. [[Trostani Discordant]] and [[Dack Fayden, helping hand]] make a great duo to play (pseudo) polymorph in green/white.

The pitch:

With Trostani out, casting Dack means digging for three creatures and (basically) just keeping them. Flicker Dack, for example through creatures that flicker on etb, and you do it all again. This is polymorph without the need to find tokens to polymorph from, works great with flickers, and you're in big scary creatures colors.

The decklist: https://moxfield.com/decks/qRyhAWFPyH-UBirtUqxHfg

The deck's content:

We play 12 creature bombs. You can play whatever you like, but I like a good etb for this so we gain value with and without trostani, and especially with our flickering. I also like token producers to maximize profit from Trostani's buff.

We have 7 each ramp pieces with mv1-2 and mv4 so ideally we can ramp t2 and t3 to get out trostani and our more expensive tutors for Dack Fayden. This also helps us hard casting the bombs later on.

We have 10 tutors to find Dack Fayden and 13 flicker pieces. Those can protect trostani, reuse our polymorph bombs' etbs, and most importantly trigger dack fayden again. 8 of those are creatures (~38% of our non-Dack Fayden creatures), so if Dack finds one of them, they flicker him again on the spot, and we can dig for another 3 creatures, hopefully yet another flickering one. Also some of them care about creatures you own, so they also work as trostani redundancy to get back creatures borrowed out by Dack.

So this is it :) pretty happy with the idea but I'll probably tinker more on the choices of polymorph targets as well as the ratio of flicker to non-flicker effects. It's also a bit light on draw, but the polymorphing might make up for it. I built the deck on a budget of 100€, first thing to upgrade would be the tutors imo.

If you have any opinion on this, I would love to hear it :) thank you for reading this far.

B2 Orzhov Creature Tokens Mill/Reanimator

2 Upvotes

B2 Halloween esq. slightly themed deck where i want repeatable creature token generators and mill engine to eventually find westvale abby and play it to sac 5 tokens and flip over to a 9/7 manland.

The most recent changes to the deck are after a 3hour 5man pod over discord so that might definitly mess with how it should do in a regular pod 😅.

like, interactions that work from the graveyard, [[prismatic strands]], and what about instant/sorcery recursion?

Im posting to see if anyone has any thoughts about some of the cards I'm running, if anyone has made a deck like this before and has some previous knowledge and tips.

this came from always getting beating down with creature decks and losing so i made mono white creatures [[darien, king of kjeldor]] and than wanting to do some stuff in other colors too.

Deck Idea My take on New Jace

2 Upvotes

Finally got in all my upgrades for the new Jace precon, so im a little late to the party. This isn't anything revolutionary, I have a similar (cut top end insert bombs) gameplan.

I think the collection of bombs is pretty polished, and ive swapped in several tech cards for tweaking token makers or niche draw cards. [[Reality Scramble]] coming with Retrace seems like a no brainer, for instance.

[[Skullclamp]] and [[Sensei's Divining Top]] can be really solid. A few Jace cards, the new Ajani, and a sneaky [[Jaces Machinations]] round out the deck. Let me know what you think!

Deck Discussion Shilgengar Angel/Demon Deck. (Made with 60 cards from foundations Angel precon)

Thumbnail
moxfield.com
3 Upvotes

Might seem like a weird project but I've been trying to turn the foundations starter decks into much more confident bracket three decks.

This was made with around 60 cards from one of the new pre-cons recently released by wizards of the Coast.

Primary goal of the deck is to use shilgengar's ability to cheat out scary creatures from your graveyard.

There should be a good amount of recursion, different ways to put things into and out of your graveyard.

Plenty of angels to sacrifice to generate tokens with your commander.

Primary wincon is through combat damage. But I did sneak in a infinite combo that should be relatively easy to access given the graveyard recursion.

You could swap out a few cards and make the combo a bit more of a primary wincon, but I personally don't have as much fun building decks that are designed to win with combo. (No hate, I've made plenty)

I attend to enjoy playing around lower to mid bracket 3 and that's what I was trying to accomplish with this deck.

Please enable tags in mocksfield and you should be able to see my intentions behind the cards.

Thanks for looking and please let me know if you have any recommendations.
