MTG Salvation

Skyhand observed the situation in silence and ambibalency; there was no faithful to defend, but Vega wished otherwise. Skyhand stood still as his master and their new acquaintance did their dirty work, preparing himself to intervene if necesary, ready to block the kidnappers´ exit with it´s physical bulk

The Skychord relied on oppresion, falsehoods and brute force, the heretics fought back with wits, conviction, and a chess board

((God that effect is so hard to word))

((EDIT: Not, with proper research))

If you want to use the Deserts and such color intensive cards, Mana Cylix, Prophetic Prism or Golgari Signet seem to be rather important (If not out of place, up to your judgment)

I don´t see what´s with Contagion up there, it seems slightly out of place. If anything, Putrefy might be a better fit, as well as cards like Befoul. the Scimitar is a little underwhelming, might i suggest Ensouled Scimitar?

Whirling Dervish/Dunerider Outlaw?

They are sort of mutually cost exclusive because of the heavy cost, but both are great cards that fit in your deck. Also, i know it might be a stretch, but you probably want a . sun in your deck: Culling Sun, Red Sun's Zenith and Serene Sunset come to mind. Inflame is also on this boat and has synergy with your deserts

A lot of the Eastern looking cavaliers have Flanking, Burning Shield Askari, Fallen Askari, Jabari's Banner, Mtenda's Herder, Suq'Ata Lancer, Telim'Tor and Zhalfirin Commander. You could go around that if you want a strong theme, especially since you are running Deserts which means that you must not be too mana intensive and these guys are very colorless. Vesuva is sort of the "Mirage" land here, giving you extra deserts

Urza Untappers?

Well that breaks a lot of things but coming off from the top deck means a lot; a Snap or Turnabout is actually a really, REALLY huge swing from the top of your library. Early Harvest does comes earlier for you though.

As i said, knowing what´s on the top of your library is better when you can be proactive about it: Again, Bloodline Shaman and Fa'adiyah Seer/Sindbad come to mind. Noxious Revival seems to be paramount in decks with future sight since it´s essentially a free Regrowth (Fun fact, two Noxious + Future Sight is an immediate infinite for as much life as you can spare. Throw in whatever can take advantage of that for lulz).

Seems like a way to go is to find an engine, and the engine is to untap your dudes. With Sindbad or Faadiyah drawing you lands or just milling something undesirable (or better in your graveyard), it means that most of your fuel would come from untapping them. Hidden Strings is the newest all-star in the department if you can get beats in, and if you plan to durdle around with the opponent and have plenty of creatures that can tap, this sounds really feasible. Freed from the Real or Turnabout can also easily accomplish this. A couple of Memory Journey gives you a cheap way to shuffle and recover important spells that might have otherwise gone to the dumpster. Sakura-Tribe Scout allows land drops (but only from your hand), and of course, then there´s him

Budoka Gardener

It´s about to get real, man! Not only this guy can be untapped with whatever sillyness you are throwing in, but lategame, he becomes a beating machine, throwing in >10/10 Elementals with the extra lands you SHOULDN´T be playing in your hand since the topdeck is where its at, or whatever Seerbad has pulled for you

If you STILL want to mess around with your opponent, Fatestitcher, Disruptive Pitmage and Temporal Adept are also here to serve you

I too enjoy synergistic aggro, but the list i´m trying to make is so chockful and hellbent on breaking the game that i´d rather not post it. But really, between the Seerbad, Blooms and other Land dropping, Mana Auras and general Untapping, you´ve got a pretty nice base there, i think it´s up to you on how you can close the game from the- *coughbudokagardenercough*...sorry, i meant to say: from there on

Quote from DarkNightCavalier

Mono Blue could work. More stalling effects and draw spells at your disposal. Counters would work as well.

I´ll vote Green just to splash flashback Memory Journey, frontal Tracker Instincts, and of course, Pack Hunt

Mul Dayas are probably fit for a more creature oriented deck, also, using Conundrum Sphinx just because you know the top card of your deck is kind of redundant, since you can play it anyways.

When you are playing Future Sight, your best friend are Aditional Land drops or cards that are more tangible to work with the top of your deck most imediatelly rather than just wait for them to trigger, cards like Vernal Bloom, Predict and Faadiyah Seer or Sinbad call to mind. Cards that shuffle can also help you here, so using Fetchlands sound appropiate

But the key card here for me is Early Harvests, it untaps all your land from the top of your deck to keep your engine going, as well as Noxious Revivals for putting them back where you can play them. Magus of the Future makes for a secondary playset of Future Sights and then you can go with whatever you want to win with, be it Dreadwaters, Brain Freeze or something absurd like Helix Pinnacle.

This is how i would make the deck, roughly (DISCLAIMER: I´m a very mean Johnny when it comes to absurb combos that go nowhere, play at your own risk)

((OOC: Multicast makes you copy the spell THEN cast the copy, it doesn't puts the spell on the stack like Reverberate. Thus you have to choose targets for it anyways, and it does add to Storm Count and allows splice and Guttersnipe procs. It's and old mechanic i made for a custom set and it made sense in context))


((Also Vega, i last posted that you could just steal the spotlight if you so wished and my post would be delegated to contingency, but alas. Also 19 EXP HNNNNNNNNNNNGG))


There`s a huge sense of dread within this city, as well as an air of duty, the monument to battlegrounds of times past. The Skyhand left Vega and Ahrin sort out their differences without questions, muttering strange chants in a quasi-silence, giving the false, dead and hollow blessings of the Skychord towards these conflicted grounds.

And off he would be at Vega`s direction; "Yes, Master" and moving forward. Even when leading the path, he would remain vigilant of their new acquaintance whenever possible

Keesh's inner musings were being interrupted by words she didn't paid much attention to initially. She glanced at Eiglem once his words started to sound strange, as if it were him that owed her a debt. Her eyes perked up towards Eiglem, twitching around to read his face as well as his voice, and thus, she decided to interrupt him.

"You keep talking too much", she reprimanded him, but a small chuckle set the mood back up, "But finally you tell much too", she kicked herself off the wall, looking upwards. "Aye, we'll be companion. It would be a damn shame if you were deprived of me". Keesh was brought back to her spirits, apparently a thick shell and a stiff face doesn't makes you immune to moral support. She waved towards herself, for once leading Eiglem back to the central. "Let move. If I'm going to fall down, then I'll shoot prone"

First, let me too thank Socrates along with Voidnothing

I would suggest taking the Maginon´s way out on Kardia and letting people have their first, filler, do nothing clothing item. It might be a small detail but some people are not exactly ´adventurers´, some might want something more linked to their backstory or more flavorful, or some just don´t need clothes (There´s the Wall).

Regardless, this becomes irrelevant once they buy their first item, so i´m not sure why advocate for it

Also, i don´t know how troublesome would it be, but a small compendium of the races of Maginon would be useful, since the chances of someone making someone else´s race by coincidence is extremely slim. I might be able to get one up and running in an Excel sheet with some free time but i´ll see about it.

A wild internvention delays the way, and divine intervention would clear it




((OOC: Folza should probably choose who gets to cast first since he´s needing of XP and abundant of mana, but here´s a post in case))

Reminder: Apparently, extreme heat cause female Xoa to become high

There's no other possible explanation! After having her ass dragged back to the colony, Keesh would almost not believe she actually tried to give a friendship speech and use it to climb a hole-damned volcano! What?

It was unsurprising that Keesh asked Eiglem very nicely to not comment of this at all, and that her already silent presence aided her attempts at avoiding verbal exchange. All she has of worth in the market at the moment is engineering capacities that are subpar to her race and a capacity to not die immediately, but she continued to follow Eiglem, hopefully to fully repay him for salvaging her carapace and getting a second shot at being a Xoa worth its weight in metal

"Calm down, Eiglam", Keesh suggested him, placing her scaly hand in her shoulder, looking at the top of the mountain. "What be thee heat for you, Kiral, with thick body, firey circulation and powerful will? What be thee heat for I, Xoa, who crawl in hallway thin and extended, where heat and debility be abound. The mountain will be another hurdle we will jump, we are able", a strange presence surrounded Keesh as she extended her hand for Eiglam to grab, endurance would be their armor, and experience their weapon

"Let too be willing"

The surrakar was dully interested in the ogre's explanation, but Vega didn't lost time to bring him up to speed. The usual 'Yes, Master' set them off back to Begrina

Back at the town, since Skyhand technically escorted Vega to the marketplace, he saw the opportunity to ease his monetary burden (The Skychord agents weren't exactly interested in riches, or many other things). There was a rather large item waiting for him, but he would have to manage their trip overseas, and excesive spending would be an unfortunate excuse for Skyhand. Investing on a White Robe should enable him to be more efficient on his journey; the white silk being an old signature of an agent of the Skychord

Skyhand followed Vega to the docks, ready and willing to pay all the expenses

And there it is, after some support and attention to detail, a gelid explosive was born. Keesh took the Kiral´s kindness in consideration, a Xoa´s expression is hard to read, but having one let you get close to them is considered a sign of trust.

"Only talk shorter and tell more, would you?", she spoke in jest, and then directing herself back to the scientist posse along Eiglem for details of this magmatic force and possible pathways, then proceeding to leave along her fellow Mercenary

((OOC: Experience Fix because i hadn´t alloted some earlier events, thus the huge discrepancy))

((Just to clarify then: It is possible to cast Sorcery Speeds in combat situations as long as you are the attacker, correct?))


The members of the Skychord are not quite used to getting monetary retribution for their services, let alone by their masters. "Yes, Master", he responded as it were an order rather than an act of charity, and thus kept the guard behind Vega, following towards the man he wished to make acquaintance with
