what's the best way to do standard without bant or gw tokens?
I dunno dude, I don't play much Standard. From what I understand Bant CoCo is a pretty oppressive deck right now, and I don't really know enough about deckbuilding to give you a good answer.
Any deck that can comfortably run 3-4 mainboard languish (WB Control, Grixis, Abzan, GB Seasons Past, Sultai Delerium), or Rw Humans.
Here's a weird one.
>Mirrorwing dragon, goblin pile driver, and a few other goblins on my field.
>Cast pic related to boost dragon
>Thing copies for all my other creatures.
Does it affect piledriver or no? Mirrorwing dragon says the copy targets it but it can't be targeted by blue things. Which effect wins over?
Alright, I've got a weird one for you that I've been trying to wrap my head around.
My boardstate is just a Pandemonium and a Changeling Berserker, who has championed an Aven Riftwatcher.
I flicker the Changeling.
What the hell happens to the poor stack and does my Changeling ever get to see the bird hit the board?
can i check if i have this right
with melek as the commander and no other creatures, proteus staffing himself lets you order your library in whatever order you damn well please? if it works like that, shit's fucked yo
fairo slut
>Mirrorwing x hexproof/protection
the copy is created, but it doesn't have a legal target and thus does nothing.
>That the spell could target
Mirrorwing won't try to make a copy for things it wouldn't hit, whether that's because of Protection or Shroud or just not being a legal target for some other reason (if your opponent Doom Blades it, it'll make copies for all his non-black creatures, but not his black ones).
So, let's say you use Essence Flux for that sweet sweet +1/+1 counter. You'll exile your Berserker, and then immediately bring it back with a +1/+1 counter on it. You'll have three triggers to put on the stack; the Champion LTB trigger, the Pandemonium trigger, and the ETB trigger. Since they're all yours, and all wanting to go on the stack at the same time, you choose the order in which they are placed on the stack.
As long as you have the LTB trigger resolve before the ETB trigger, it'll bring back Aven Riftwatcher (who will dome something for 2 via Pandemonium, and also gain you 2 life), which you can then Champion away with the ETB trigger.
Net result if you do it right: 8 damage (7 if you use Cloudshift instead of Essence Flux) and +2 life.
Correct. You elect to ship it to the deck instead of the Command Zone, then reveal cards until you hit Melek since he's the only creature, and put him on the board. Then you put 'the rest' (your entire deck) on the bottom of your library in any order, which effectively means you can stack your deck however you want.
That was way simpler than I was thinking it was. For some reason I forgot to put the ETB Champion or die trigger on the stack. Yeah, easy as pie. Thanks!
Yeah, the Champion doesn't get popped until that trigger resolves and you don't feed it a bird. Thankfully if you stack the triggers right, you HAVE a bird to feed it by then.
