today I learned about the list of public redeemable promo codes that I'm sure most of you in this thread already used but if anyone else like me didn't know, or was under a rock at the time

https://mtgazone.com/codes/

looking forward to cracking open 30+ new packs today, ha

I realized Varis didn't serve a great purpose any more so I swapped in a scutes swarm to see how that goes. It just helped me stabilize and come back against mono white so that I like.

cards I've cut:

Fly
Secret Door
Bar the Gate (so three dungeon cards)
Scale the Heights
Snow Day

cards I've added:

Instrument of the Bards (so cool!)
You Find the Villain's Lair (it's just better than bar the gate, probably)
Choose Your Weapon (game winner, also anti-angel)
Glorious Sunrise (I won't lie - I love this card)
Bag of Holding (but this has not done me any good so I'm going to swap in Mysterious Tome and see how I feel about it)

I'm a tick above halfway from Diamond 3 to 2. It's kind of funny how some wins come. Had a game yesterday where I was forced to mulligan to 5, but then my opponent who kept 7 and went first never found their third land and I won handily. Maybe I can just get a lucky streak and find my way into mythic >.>

Are we talking about Faithbound Judge?

Great solution to annoying white decks - just play white yourself!

Gaining life is no problem, it's sitting around while they spend five minutes per turn distributing counters that I find annoying

White and white/green lifegain with cleric and ranger is so boring to play against, and its like75% of matches right now

I wonder how much animation time happened in this game

Take that, clerics

Honestly, nothing wrong with life gain as a style of deck, but the practical part where I have to sit and hear the +1/+1 counter sound 275 times per game is a major drag

I swapped in 1x You Come to a River in place of an Emergent Sequence

Realized it's game winning with something like Body of Research on board

I just got to do this for the first time and let me tell ya, it felt good because screw white weenies tbh

It seems to me that since Volo checks creature types to see if he can copy when the spell is cast, and the Mimic only becomes a copy when it enters the battlefield, it should work. Volo copies the Mimic if you don't have another Spirit, and then both mimics get to copy something when they enter the battlefield.

Without testing, yeah seems like that's how it should work

I swapped in 1x You Come to a River in place of an Emergent Sequence

Realized it's game winning with something like Body of Research on board and the extra removal helps against white decks

I made it to diamond! Neat.

Just lost a game because I clicked auto-pay without thinking when I had a stack of treasure but it chose to tap my 6/6 trample and my 11/11 because they were lands thanks to Ashaya

Big oof

after a long time grinding casual games, collecting rewards, and tinkering with my blue green deck I finally started playing standard ranked

I lost the most games in bronze, won most of my games in silver and I took one or two win streaks through most of gold, started slowing down around platinum 3, had some ups and downs, still learning how to play against various decks

here's the current list



I opened Lier the other day and recently got to have a lot of fun in a game with Lier and Jadzi and a mountain of treasure from Old Gnawbone. My opponent conceded as I was about halfway through casting the rest of my library -_-

I'm really enjoying the process of gaining familiarity with the deck over time and just coming across new cards here and there

I want to have the dedication to scour the card pool and perfect it but at the same time, ehh
