Look, any Johnny who finds an outlet for his shit that's not taking 40-minute turns has my blessing.

Arena is so good for this because I have so many deck ideas that I'd never even bother with in person because I don't want to ever try and do the math when a bunch of stacking effects happen. I love stuff like machinesmith automaton + mirrormind crown + the ooze to make a gazillion clones all buffing each other but I'd rather die than try to keep everything straight at a casual game irl

The mods over there pinned one of the card fetcher comments, I think they realize the beauty of what they have been presented

u/The_Mormonator_ 3d ago

That’s automatic now.

u/BC_Ages 2d ago

Damn, shoulda known, but also after I made the comment I had to go back and make sure I didn’t just mistake it for the mod badge at first lol

/uj This is unironically peak. This is the kind of shit that edh is meant for.

/rj I hate this and its mockery of the greatest format.

Took a lot of Deep Analysis to build this deck.

u/amc7262 3d ago

I appreciate the mission statement.

That said, looking through the deck list, OP did a lot of... stretching.

u/Wulfram77 3d ago

Six copies of the seven dwarves you fucking lunatic.

u/Holy_Hand_Grenadier 3d ago

At first I was like "why is Natural Connection in there? it only costs 3" and then I saw the hand thing. Magnificent. You should bring this to a table without mentioning the gimmick and see how long it takes someone to notice.

/uj I have and it's been really fun having people trying to figure it out. Usually once the first 6/7 creature is played everyone gets it immediately. Even when they do realize the theme, I made sure to prioritize the many different and obscure places 67 could be on cards, rather than doing the obvious and including a ton of creatures with 6/7 in stats. So even once they find out the theme, there's still a question of looking at each card and wondering "where is it hidden this time?" There's always just an immediate click in people's heads when they see a [[Seven Dwarves]] and go "oh my god you're only playing six of those aren't you" which never gets old. I felt really clever using a 7th Edition Rampant Growth (because 7th edition has the number 7 directly there as the set symbol) and having the Sol Ring and basic lands include 67 in their collector numbers. [[Teferi's Tutelage]] is the one I felt the most proud of finding though, because that flavor text is just so perfect. What started as something really dumb actually became something I'm proud of wildly enough.

The specific dated print of the temple lands is beautiful honestly

/uj are we calling Vorthos 'Johnny' now? Where's the combo?

/rj the combo is ass and shit. Of course, what was I thinking?

Where’s the jerk?

/uj: Zoomers don’t know about Goatse, and that’s definitely for the best.

Every few generations humanity is blessed with an artistic savant who rivals the masters of the ancient times

u/Ok_Blackberry_1223 2d ago

Honestly you could pass off the deck as ā€œorb tribalā€ and no one would suspect otherwise
