Tsukimi on Brenard and Tarmogoyf?

Hi all, I know Brenard replaces power and toughness when turning a creature into a token, so a / PT creature for example becomes a 1/1 but what about Tarmogoyf? Since it says plus is this ability still in effect?
legendofa on Arcavios Outside of Strixhaven
3 hours ago
There are several ways for a new set on Arcavios to involve Strixhaven that I would be fine with. Field trips, hands-on study, and even international travel are pretty common at all the schools I know of. There are some good historical sites nearby for the Lorehold students, Prismari could find someone hing to be inspired by, there's natural ecosystems for Witherbloom to study, and Silverquill and Quandrix could probably find some sort of cultural exchange.
If I had to pitch the next couple of Arcavios sets, I would suggest putting the next set in the area around Strixhaven and keep it involved. The third set goes further out, with less Strixhaven and more of whatever the focus of the sound set was. Keep expanding outward, using just enough of the previous sets to show the connection while continually revealing more and more of the world at large.
For a real-world comparison, let's replace Strixhaven with Harvard University. The first set stays on the college campus. The second set follows students to New York, the Atlantic Coast, and White Mountain National Forest. The third set builds off of those and adds Toronto University, the city of Montreal, and maybe something in the Appalachians, with only a handful of references to Strixhaven. Keep going outward until a full world develops.
On the other hand, most planes don't seem to be anywhere close to the size of Earth, and more than a few planes are defined by one location. I've gone off about Amonkhet before. Planes like Theros have a couple of suggestions that there's more to the world, but we just haven't seen it yet. Kaladesh could be much more than Ghirapur. Those two plus Innistrad, Tarkir, Lorwyn, and several of others could all easily fit on an Earth-like plane without actually coming into contact with each other, as demonstrated by Earth itself. (Let's ignore stuff like the Silk Road and various empires for the moment.)
Goldberserkerdragon on Vohar - Reanimator
3 hours ago
I have a Vohar reanimator deck and it's a blast! A lot of what reanimator wants to do is not have loads of creatures and utilize ways to dump your hand (usually) into the grave. You want enough reanimation spells but with Vohar you will be drawing 2+ a turn with the discarding a big boy to the yard. Ramp is essential not just for getting going, but good for rebuilding. Also late game reanimator just turns into you can cast most things now so just pack a combo or way to win if your beefy monsters aren't smashing through. You can also sac Vohar to recast a Reanimate from the yard, so he's the full package. More card draw/ramp is my solid rec.
FormOverFunction on Arcavios Outside of Strixhaven
4 hours ago
I think I’ve raised the issue of having “Star Wars Planet” problems with media/games/etc. Every (most?) planet(s) in Star Wars are uniform in their general environment. Ice, sand, lava, city, and maybe one or two “it’s basically earth” here and there. This makes it easier on everyone, whether it’s art direction or the viewer being tasked to remember “Dagobah is the mud planet and everyone on Hoth is freezing cold”. This simplicity is pretty great for bubblegum-type enjoyment, but it also provides an opportunity; reveal a surprise aspect of the plane/planet/etc that makes sense... but none of us thought about it. COULD there be a desert somewhere on Dagobah? Absolutely. Endor is just a moon, so there’s a little less to work with maybe... but to say that there CAN’T be a giant lake/ocean on the other side would be silly. I don’t even know who/where Arcavios is, can’t say I remember reading that name before, but there’s the chance that they’ll pull something cool together. It’s not unreasonable to be optimistic.

I have replaced Requisition Raid with Heliod's Intervention, which unfortunately increased the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.61 to 3.63, but that is an acceptable increase, since the new card is an instant, while the previous card was only a sorcery.
DemonDragonJ on Arcavios Outside of Strixhaven
5 hours ago
In Mark Rosewater's most recent article about the Rabiah scale, he stated that, if the game were to return to Arcavios, players would most likely expect that Strixhaven would be involved in the story in some capacity, but I dislike that idea, because I feel that an entire plane should not be defined by a single location on it; if we presume that Arcavios is approximately the same size as Earth, that is a great amount of area to explore, so I sincerely hope that there is more to Arcavios than simply Strixhaven, as that would be very poor worldbuilding, otherwise.
What does everyone else say about this? If the game returns to Arcavios, would you like to see more of the plane, beyond Strixhaven?

Legendary Creature - Angel Demon
Flying
Protection from white
Whenever Avacyn or a spell you control destroys a creature or planeswalker an opponent controls, you may pay life equal to its mana value. If you do, return it to the battlefield under your control. If you don't, exile it unless its controller pays 3 life.
Under Sorin, she protected Innistrad. Under Emrakul, she eviscerated it. Under Griselbrand, she'll dominate it.

Crow_Umbra on Hail Caesar - Token Generator

You are more or less correct Merk-A-Do. The sequencing is basically:
- Declare attacks, picking your attackers & sequencing triggers.
- Caesar triggers the first time, & Isshin gives him an additional trigger. Sac a token, then pick 2 Caesar abilities
- Caesar triggers 2nd time, sac a creature, then pick 2 more Caesar abilities.
Isshin & Caesar are excellent support pieces in each other's 99s.

Wait, so hypothetical situation. Board looks like this: Caesar and Isshin on the battle field. I have 3 1/1 tokens of anything. I declare an attack, sac 2 token to Caesar (due to Issin), and use his 3rd ability. I can do a total of 10 sniping points to opponents. All before my creatures attack? Crow_Umbra and Belfore, if this is the way I'm reading this, then Issin will definitely be going in. Thank you everyone.

Anatak thank you for your comment! I'm glad you've been inspired to make your own Angel deck!
As for Traveler's Amulet, I like it as we can tutor for a basic and help to thin the deck. It isn't absolutely necessary, as you could probably get away with something like Extraplanar Lens if you really wanted to. Plus, it can be recurred with Serra Paragon so we can get more value out of it.

Allow me to begin by thanking you. I've taken a lot of inspiration from this deck in crafting my own Angel deck.
I wanted to ask: Regarding Traveler's Amulet, is this manner of Artefact worth it in mono-colour deck? It seems like we wouldn't really be gaining much value from it, or am I missing something?

Most all my decks are usually very cut and dry in terms of going for the throat with brute force. This is one of my first attempts at relying more on indirect damage than combat to win the game...needless to say, that is not my forte considering my first and favorite deck I run is Gishath Spared No Expense!!!.

- Play 4 Reflecting Pool. Works great with Vivids and Primal Beyond. No need to play Prismatic Omen.
- Supreme Exemplar is not very good. It works only with Incandescent Soulstoke.
- Horde of Notions is the best card you have. You should be playing more of them, most likely 4. If one is answered, you drop a second one. If not answered, he'll overtake over the game.
- Play more lands. Your deck is mana hungry, and even with Smokebraider you always have expensive things to cast or activate Horde of Notions.
- I would replace one Island with Mystic Gate. You have white and blue spells with double mana and this filter will help you casting them.

- Don't play Borderposts. They offer no benefit for you, but opponent may destroy them with artifact hate. You also risk having an opening hand without basic lands, making them unplayable. Play Arcane Sanctum and Jungle Shrine instead.
- Add 2 Elspeth, Knight-Errant. It gives you an evasion against repeated blockers such as Sprouting Thrinax and also can itself provide repeated blockers. The +3+/+3 bonus doubles with Rafiq and Finest Hour.
- Your sideboard is bad. There is no reason to play Call to Heel when you can play Hindering Light. You don't have any enters-the-battlefield effects, so you never want to return your own creatures to hand when you can leave them on the battlefield. You have no answer to the Martial Coup.
- Check Cascade - Shards of Alara Block - an actual constructed deck from that era. It would destroy you hard with all the card advantage. Your deck also has problems with instant removal, since you always attack with only one creature.

If you actually playtest the deck, many times your hand is not that great.
- 8 of your tutors put the card only on the top of your library rather than into your hand. I suggest you play Demonic Tutor rather than Imperial Seal.
- You have problems with color fixing. You end up being unable to play your cards because you don't have right combination of mana. If your plan is solely to play only one turn, then Lotus Petal is better than Mox Jet or Mox Sapphire.
- With Dark Ritual and 8 Lotuses, It's reasonable to get to 5-6 black mana. Some 2 Ad Nauseam and/or Yawgmoth's Bargain would improve your consistency.
- Ceremonious Rejection looks bad. If your only plan is to play for one turn, play Pact of Negation. You'll save 1 mana and have more possible targets. It's better if you start the game. If your opponent starts the game, Ceremonious Rejection only works if you have Leyline of Anticipation. And if you have that, you should able to win even with Pact of Negation trigger.
- Play 4 Gitaxian Probe and 4 Street Wraith. Your deck doesn't care for life, and you need to get your relevant cards.
- If you are allowed to play 4 Black Lotus and 4 Blacker Lotus, then I assume anything is playable. If so, you forgot to include the most powerful card in the entire history - Contract from Below
