I first started playing MtG in 2013 via janky kitchen-table "Modern" with my college friends. We dove into EDH around 2019 & haven't looked back since.

I aim for mid-high powered casual, & when it makes sense to, usually include at least 1 combo wincon to help close grindy games. I like to have some variance in my play & only run a couple of suboptimal tutors in my combo-y decks.

is quickly becoming my favorite 3 color combo. Red & Black have grown on me the most since I've started playing MtG, especially EDH, and are probably my favorite single colors.

Planar Nexus enters untapped & doesn't need an additional payment from another land to stick around. Nexus also has the upside of color filtering/fixing.

My only real gripe is that I wish the use of Comic Sans & the alternating capitalizing better fit the art for this SL. I think the arts utilized are great, but feel kinda at odds tone-wise with the other details. As much as I like the arts, I wish they also had a jokey tone to them to better match the font. Hell, they even could've had Nicol Bolas in Torment of Hailfire imitating the Spongebob Meme that this is derived from. Probably a bit too on the nose lol

The Wise Mothman is pretty nutty. I haven't played against it first hand, but I've seen quite a few gameplay videos featuring it, & without upgrades it can still snowball pretty quickly. Mothman and Mirko would make for a pretty cool pairing.

I have a few recommendations for precons, based off my own experience playing upgraded versions of each of them. Although none of them are artifact based, I think they can serve as aggressive compliments to a deck which might be more durdley or combo-focused.

  • The Nalia de'Arnise Party PreCon is a lot of fun. I've had the deck for almost two years now, but swapped to have Burakos, Party Leader/Folk Hero as the commanders. It's a decent precon out of the box and can be pretty strong if upgraded. The nice thing is that you're bound to get new Clerics, Rogues, Warriors, & Wizards each set, so the deck has a pretty long shelf life if you decide to upgrade it.

  • I'd also recommend the Ellivere of the Wild Court precon. The deck plays fairly aggro and has a solid core of the cards you'd want for most Selesnya adjacent Enchantress strats. Similar to the last precon, I currently play it with Gylwain, Casting Director as the commander, since I think he encourages more of a go-wide strategy, compared to typical Enchantress Voltron builds.

Her second game was pretty fun. The first one was basically moot, since the Gyruda player popped off before the rest of us could.

This will vary from group to group, but I don't think Vraska needs to be jammed full of kill spells, especially Fleshbag Marauder type removal. Keeping mana up for theft felt most impactful. I'm definitely looking forward to getting more games in with her, and am hoping that more gameplay videos with her will eventually hit YouTube.

Thank you for checking out my Vraska deck. Figured I'd say thanks since you always make it a point to thank others. Your positivity is appreciated

Gonti, Canny Acquisitor looks specifically at triggers involving combat damage.

Hissing Miasma would trigger an additional time from Isshin, Two Heavens as One, since he looks at Attack triggers from any permanents you control.

L M A O. I haven't seen that in a minute.

Xenephrim, that's basically when my opponents' creatures have some kind of protective keyword
