The amount of Selesnya legends I've been drawn to building over the last few years is incredible.

With holy rope and a nice think gag to prevent them from speaking blasphemies!

Claiming dominance in its own way is a victory

Oh I've never played Arena much myself, I just always thought this is how the interaction worked. Today I learned!

Gotta go with the Big Man himself.

It was rather unfortunate that he crashed out that hard over it given that he did tremendous work making budget magic look good.

There are some others in that space now but they don't have nearly the same level of consistency (even if some of the CQ decks started being samie)

Nah, CQ with Captain happened as a result of the guy being utterly pissed that the RC at the time wouldn't ban the Walking Dead SL outright. Claimed it would be a format of "integrity".

Rachel is just asking for data collection as well as topics to discuss on GK most likely.

Despite being a fan of the guild the way they've approached them via story telling, yea that's fair enough.

I on the other hand am not surprised Azorius is where it is. XP

It certainly makes building the gods more tantalizing for EDH knowing that they have to get its toughness exactly to zero otherwise it'll just tank everything.

Bought to put Pariah on Heliod.

Looks we have a ruling and it appears not to be the case. How weird, I always thought it worked the way I described it to be.

07.10.2025 14:50 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I'm fairly certain the creature would die, because indestructible prevents damage from killing. Marking it with 1 then setting its toughness to zero would still get it dead.

The correct decision

You ever just wake up and think about a legend from a set long past because it sticks in your craw about the things you can do with it?

That's me and ol Ludevic//Olag here.

No list, but its definitely something I've thought about for the longest in Dimir.

The fact its a counter meaning it tracks everything its exiled before giving you a wealth of etb options the more you cast/flicker him is kind of wild.

07.10.2025 13:32 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Highly agreed. It just makes for one of the cleanest methods of sacrifice by giving you:
1. Value (death triggers)
2. A really big dude that has more ways of being protected from counter magic.

Its just great.

One guy in particular had a "better" Rakdos deck, yet I constantly stole deathtouchers from his own yard to block his creatures with keeping myself ahead on board.

That felt very good.

I havent really messed around with the archetype, but I do remember Ravnica Allegiance draft where I was shoed into a rakdos deck playing cards everyone around me said were "bad" cards.

I went 3-1 mainly on this back of this card, as no one ever expected it to be used to get a free blocker.

07.10.2025 12:47 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I still can't believe its a real card. Literally everything I wanted in a green land matter style creature and they just gave it to us for free.

Given the trend they are definitely (if it is TMNT) going to do Classic Turtles with some movie references. Idk what I want from the set if/when its official, I kind of want April to be dope?

When I read the question it was the first name that popped spontaneously in my head as an answer so yep.
