Skeleton Key is useful in specific places (where you want the Skulk, like Vela ninja tribal, which has both magpies and wants to be unblocked all the time). Mask is actually really pretty decent in anything with a decent amount of equipment. Mono-white really likes Mask of Memory, since it provides draw, filtering, and white is a great equipment color.

Guys, I need some advice on my Sidisi deck.

I like the theme of tutoring on what play style I would be doing on the game, from either super casual - Tutoring Erebos then go from there or tutoring Doomsday for a janky wincon.

The part where I need the advice is, what card from my list to make my Doomsday wincon more viable or even competitive?

While I ironically added Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond on this deck as one of the possible Doomsday combination, I initially ran this deck as the meme MikeTrike EDH deck at first.

That is my custom playmat, because I have no talent. I tried just inputting the basic Feldon image, but it's dimensions are wrong for playmats, and it was cutting off sweet parts of the art. So I added black boxes and some text, which involved a 2 hour odyssey because I am nearly computer illiterate and have essentially no experience with digital art and editing. I started on paint, and when that failed I downloaded gimp and flailed at it for over an hour until I got that.

It actually looks really nice on the playmat, though. The simple black bars work nicely on th mat because the scene is already framed by some darker areas.

For further demonstration of my child-like ability to use art software, here is the image of my meta.

It plays pretty fun, and it doesn't catch much heat early so you can quietly piece together combos.

>>
>>47590472
Sorry for the slightly off topic question, my group has been convinced that sanguine/exquisite combo results in a tie , not a win, because something about the combo never coming to a stop? Or it going on forever because you can't choose to stop it? Is there any truth to that ?
>>
>>47589974
But you don't cast the copies, isn't splice a cast trigger?
>>
>>47591167
It can stop, It has to target an opponent and therefore if there are no opponents the ability becomes countered on the stack. A player losing the game does not use the stack obviously and is instantaneous as they reach 0 life.
>>
>>47591167

104.3b If a player’s life total is 0 or less, he or she loses the game the next time a player would receive priority. (This is a state-based action. See rule 704.)

As soon as the player can react to a sanguine/blood proc (ie it being on the stack) and they are at 0 or lower life they lose, in older editions it checked life totals at the end of phase, perhaps this is what they were thinking
>>
>>47591179
Nothing in that combo gives a shit if you cast it.

You cast the Ritual with psychic puppetry's "You may tap or untap target permanent." spliced onto it. So the ritual reads "Gain 3 red mana, untap or tap target permanent". Now you copy that spell with the guildmage. So for 3 mana you get another one. Now when the copy resolves, you get your three mana returned to you, but you can also untap a land, netting you +1 mana. Now copy again. Rinse and repeat.
>>
>>47591247
>>47591270

Ooh, thanks guys
>>
>>47591167
It does stop, since state based actions are checked in between both the triggers. It's not technically infinite combo, since it ends when only one player is alive.
Anyway, it's like this, opponent loses life, Exquisite Blood notices "oh shit time to gain some life" and after the life is gained, Sanquine Bond triggers, and life loss triggers. Life loss triggers the life gain and so on. State based actions are checked in between the triggers, and that means players die.

The guys that play commander there are all super cool. You'll probably see me there at some point. I'm not there every week, but when I can make it, I do.

There are so many stores around Nashville too that support just about every format. The only ones that I don't think I've seen are legacy/vintage but then again I don't play them so I may just not be looking. If you drive down to Murfreesboro, there are 3 shops there. The most OG shop around town is in Dickson, Blackthorn (I think that's what it's called) which is absolutely where you should buy sealed product. The owner is a super nice guy, and he never sells boxes for more than MSRP. Actually, he may even go lower, because he was selling BFZ boxes for like $75-80. They don't do singles there, but there are more than enough stores around town to satisfy that need. Depending on where you in Nashville you live, you've got a ton of choices. Game Cave has the biggest commander community, as well as Infinity, but Grand Adventures in Murfreesboro is trying to get a commander thing set up too.

Can that card's ability be abused by continuous blinking effects, like Brago or Conjurer's Closet?
>>
>>47598113

sorta

the effect that prevents them from casting the named spell or activating the named card's abilities only works while the creature is in play, and if you flicker it, it ends, and you would have to rename that same card if you want to continue preventing that card from being used

however, it could be useful to name a card and then when you no longer need that card to be named, flicker it and name a different one

I wonder why your friends singled you out.

Your mana base is terrible, you're mixing three different strategies (and mill and infect are some of the worst), and none of your reanimation targets win you the game.

Try adding lands that come into play untapped, more tutors if you're wedded to infect, and some better creatures and spells. You're in BUG, and you're using scour from existence.

Darien has one trigger for each source dealing damage to him

So since you did 28 damage, I assume you swing with shipbreaker, lorthos, and some more creatures on top of that right?

You can only stifle one of those triggers, he should still have gotten a bunch of huge tokens

fugg that should say 18 not 28, I used Monstrosity for Shipbreaker during declare attackers

Also double fugg the Darien player and I were both not aware of Darien getting a trigger from each source, we thought it was just damage in general

I understand your confusion since Darien just says "whenever" and the damage from both creatures happened at the same time

Did no one have an answer? It's not hard to exile a creature on T4, and if you can't deal with the creature, you can deal with the Omniscience in response to the first spell unless he holds priority and stacks a bunch of instants. By that point, he probably doesn't have many cards in his hand anyway if you're worried about counter magic.

My favorite deck I own is my kami of the crescent moon "everyone draws" deck.
If people seriously think you are going for a slow as fuck wincon by mill, you need to realize they're generalizing what your deck hopes to accomplish. Don't play kingmaker, don't play group hug just to help others with no win con in mind. Play "everyone draws" with plenty of counterspells handy, plenty of stasis effects and stax. HAVE A WINCON IN MIND- Make it fun for the table to keep you alive, but pack a lot of teeth grinding bullshit that will make the table question why they didn't kill you.

My favorite play was starting with kami of the crescent moon/font of mythos, meekstone, and eventually dropping storm cauldron and mana Web at the same time (using high tide to accomplish it)

The table couldn't remove it, because each of my opponents feared tapping even a single land could lead to bouncing every land he owned to hand and getting stomped to death by the other players.

Say one of my opponents has 7 islands and taps one for mana while I control storm cauldron and mana Web, would the single island they used for mana bounce to their hand, and the other 6 become tapped and not bounce? What if they want to take mana out of the 6 other lands in response? Then do they all bounce?
>>
>>47608422
If they tap one for mana, and the rest tap due to storm cauldron, only the one used to produce mana gets bounced.

If they tap the rest of their lands in response to storm cauldron's trigger, making more mana, then each one tapped for mana will be bounced.
>>
>>47608422
When Mana Web's trigger resolves, the lands tap, but they're not tapped for mana, so they never bounce. But still, that's a retard magnet, because everyone wants to take all mana from them.
Still, you can tap enough lands for Naturalize or something and in response to Mana Web's trigger remove storm cauldron and after that take all the mana you want.

And the worst part is, the whole game store heard me rage and sperg out. Fuck that shit, I'm not playing fun decks there anymore.

Or you could not be a sperg about it. You're playing predictable shit that telegraphs itself super hard after one play that OTKs someone, is everyone else just supposed to sit there and let it happen?

Would you allow someone to play a weeaboo general alter like this that's functionally identical to an existing MtG card if they also had a copy of the card?

And you're angry why?

I wouldn't care, I'd be more worried about how obnoxious of a weeb you are at that point, but I'd just get an alter or proxy that keeps the name the same but still use a different art.

Absolutely, even if someone wanted to play dumb shit like an anime proxy of rasputin dreamweaver and didn't actually have the card. As long as they let me know in advance that they are just testing the commander out to see if they like it.

Honestly, we are playing commander to have fun. If there is a format to play weeb proxies, it would be commander. Just make sure everyone else is comfortable with it before you pull it out.

If extended borders/alters are OK, why would weeb proxies not be?

That's fair. I might be better off running baby Chandra. I just really like Zo-zu. He's cute as fug.

Definitely would've been silly.

Anime was a mistake, it's trash
