I get they stopped it because at some point it's absurd to expect you to have more land than that ever. But I'd have gone a bit further. A 40 land deck shitting out every basic in its deck at once isn't unheard of. Especially landfall.

But recovering from your graveyard getting nuked is still much easier than it is against traditional graveyard decks because you dont need to deck yourself, and you dont need to focus on specific cards hitting your yard. Mesmeric orb on its own will do it for you, but you can also use green cantrips like mulch, winding way, or grisley salvage to dump random junk in your yard. You can probably build a deck that will smack the shit out of all but the most prepared players who immediately archenemy you for under $150.

All right after rereading winter I think you're correct, for some reason the initial time I read I thought that he simply reduced but he says "is equal to", so yes it comes down to a timestamp battle between winter and reliquary tower.

I think my point about the graveyard hate still stands though. I think that winter is going to be able to be shut down too easily buy something like a scavenger grounds.

But maybe I'm wrong I don't usually play stax.

Nta that you were talking to but I'm confused by what you mean by this. Don't you mean the exact opposite of this? Winter cares about specific cards being in your graveyard and you will ultimately have to mill yourself

I think he's more 8rack.

>>93781931
Nope. It's a two card hard lock with Uba Mask and a small setup. You can play wheels if you want, but an assorted pile of vaugely graveyard related nonsense will be just as strong and just as oppressive. How does he win the game? Lol I dunno, but that's not really my concern.
>>
>>93781954
What other cards? Because a Uba Mask commander sounds awful. Any card relying off a single niche unique card is going to get fucked if that card doesn't show or gets hit by removal

Think Tinybones. Tear apart your opponents' hands and punish them for not having cards.
>>
>>93781944
Think of it like this:

Normal reanimator deck:
>Great! I traumatized myself, sheoldred is in the graveyard, time to cast reanimate!

Combo reanimator:
>Great! I got basalt monolith and mesmeric orb, time to chuck cards in my graveyard until I hit dread return and mill my combo pieces!

Winter, Danzig's Little Brother:
>Great! I played one of 20 $0.50 1-2cmc cards that chuck random crap in the graveyard and also draw me a card. That card adds sorcery to my pile, maybe I'll mill an artifact creature, a land, and a enchantment saga. Whoops your hand size is now one, wouldnt it be a shame if I cast another one, or you blew up one of my enchantments or killed my grist?
>>
>>93781985
If you don't want your graveyard fucked with, then protect it. You don't see anyone else scoop and get salty when their gameplan gets fucked with as much as grave players. God forbid you stop someone's infinite graveyard recursion engine.
>>
>>93781985
The graveyard is kind of in a weird place. Reanimation spells and graveyard tutors are extremely cheap as well, and can lead to all but immediate wins on resolution, so any graveyard hate has to be as cheap or cheaper to have a chance at stopping that. And in that context, the balance kind of works.
It's really only the more sane or reasonably paced graveyard decks that get absolutely buttfucked in the crossfire. The hyper sweaty dark ritual into entomb and reanimate decks are still just fine, because shit doesn't have to stay in their yard for any length of time.
>>
>>93781911
I look as the delirium as a nice-to-have. I'd run it as a very low-curve deck that uses Winter to gas back up after emptying its hand. It has to survive until your upkeep, but because everyone draws on your upkeep everyone is incentivized to keep it around until then.
>>
>>93782025
>then protect it
Yeah, I'll just run all those plentiful and low curved graveyard protection cards. You know, the cards that protect your graveyard and make it impossible for cards in your graveyard to be exiled, and which override all those replacement effects that exile cards on their way to the yard. You know, all those cards.

Protect it with what? There are graveyard removal effects that don't target. Mono black doesn't have counter spells. Please tell me how to porotect my graveyard from your farewell. Punching you in the throat?
Graveyard removal should exist. It should not be LITERALLY FREE AND HAVE A MANA VALUE OF NOTHING and get stapled to already amazing cards like Farewell. Why do you feel you deserve a free silver bullet? I'd have no issue if there was counterplay such as something to counter a farewell. There is not. You just eat shit and die. I would NEVER suggest a graveyard deck to someone because it isn't viable because the graveyard may as well not exist. I can just remove it and not even have run the card for the removal aspect.

Meanwhile when I run artifact/enchantment destruction, I run it for that reason. But the graveyard? lmao I run bojuka bog solely because it targets. The exile is gravy.
That's the fucking problem. The effect just exists for free without really requiring you devote a slot to countering graveyards. No one is running farewell for the graveyard aspect. It's just a nice extra fuck you.
>>
>>93782065
The only one of those that works vs a farewell is elixir.
>>
>>93781965
Chains, Possessed portal, once per turn discard plus puzzle box. Your also in the best tutor colours in magic. But that aside, you dont need the hard lock, that's just the easiest tech. Thank fucking god he's not in blue, but you can play a regular stax gameplan just fine and fuck your opponents over just as hard, even if he draws them two cards.

All too late because they're reactive, or do nothing because it's a passive effect, your yard's already wiped in either case.

They can't kill me if I kill myself first!
Anon, I'm a friend of graveyard decks. I've been over this. Most of them just don't work short of being hyper fast, or splashing blue to counter any hate before it has a chance to resolve. Because there's no real graveyard protection. There's nothing that says "cards in your graveyard can't be exiled", or "whenever a card from your graveyard would be exiled, you may instead return it to your hand".
>>
>>93782025
There's literally no way to protect your graveyard in the game and that's why it's a failing archetype
>>
>>93782076
Much like a creature-heavy deck needs to not overplay to the board or get wrathed, a graveyard deck needs to not overplay to the graveyard or get Tormod's'd. Reanimation strategies have always been powerful when uncontested but very straightforward to contest. That is the nature of the archetype.

You have thoughtsieze. You have precautions like Feldon's Crane or Elixir of Immortality. You have the ability to accept a net win rate of roughly 25% because sometimes they have it and you lose.

Because in real formats even free turn zero graveyard removal can be too slow.
>>
>>93782142
(You)
>>
>>93782125
Wraths aren't free. You don't get 0 mana wraths nor does naturalize get a free wrath to it.

There is no counterplay and that is an issue. Lack of counterplay is objectively unfun and objectively poor game design. If a player can pack removal for my graveyard, why can't I. Why doesn't he just have to rely on the strategy of kill me fast?

A creature heavy deck can just extend the board and cast a spell that gives all creatures hexproof and indestructible. There are 0 direct counters to graveyard hate. There is no good reason for this and I dare you to name a single fucking reason there should be no direct counters.
>>
>>93782142
>>Someone else Wraths
I cast heroic intervention/teferi's protection/everybody lives/that flare/flawless maneuver, so many fucking other cards. How can you compare board wipes when a fuck ton of cards exist as direct counters to them?
>>
>>93782024
>1-2cmc cards that chuck random crap in the graveyard and also draw me a card.
Can you give me an example
>>
>>93782125
Creature heavy decks can overextend all they want, as long as they pack any of the many spells that grant protection, indestructible, hexproof, phasing, or immediate return to the battlefield. That's the whole point. There's a ton of counterplay to wipes in the appropriate colors, there's no counterplay to graveyard removal in any color.

>>93782250
A prime number is a number greater than 1 that's divisible only by itself and 1. 4 = 2 x 2, but there's no numbers you can multiply together to get 5 other than 5 x 1. This is useful because each number can be broken up into a consistent product of prime numbers, which allows for a lot of math shit.

It's abysmal. The token's legendary, the bookkeeping is even more fiddly than normal landfall, it only triggers on your end step, and it doesn't help you get mana or spend mana which are the main things simic needs to do. Occasionally getting a free 5/5 or 7/7 isn't worth a card in play.

>>
>>93782655
>>gets mad and says I shouldn't play the deck at all
The proper response to this is to ask for money. If someone does not want me to play a deck then they need to pay me the cost of the deck to justify me losing possibly hundreds because I now can't use that shit.
If someone wants to pay me a grand to stop playing my main deck, I will. If not then they can find another table.
>>
>>93782611
Doesn't seem particularly great. Lands that tap for any color are OK even when they enter tapped if a deck has a lot of colors, but I'd avoid taplands as much as possible, and there are better ones out there, like Path of Ancestry (or the triomes in 3-color decks because they are fetchable). Hexproof on a land is also kind of niche since land destruction is pretty rare.
The fact that it is an enchantment has niche use in specific decks that care about enchantments, but it's not nearly as useful as artifact lands since there's far more cards that care about the amount of artifacts you have (anything with affinity for artifacts or metalcrafting, the various "karnstruct" tokens, etc.) while enchantments don't have nearly as much support.

Congrats, your graveyard is still empty. Shuffling it back in technically "solves" the issue in that the cards don't hit exile, but you're still left with an empty yard you'll have to restock. For all practical purposes, the effect is pretty worthless. The problem isn't the cards getting exiled as much as it is your graveyard being empty/unfillable/unusable, depending on effect.

Did you miss the surveil land cycle that is now more expensive than shocks in some cases?

The main issue is that for 9 mana it's potentially undone by a ponder or fetchland, either reads "target player loses the game" or does nothing, and is only good when you cheat it out. It's like asking if Golgari Grave Troll should have trample.

Making it an enchantment just makes it more vulnerable to removal, and so they gave it hexproof. How is that any use? No one in EDH plays land hate to begin with. If they'd just left it as a regular land no one would have touched it anyway. I wouldn't even put this in my enchantment deck

It is a type of card that has never been printed and has been asked for for years and represents one of the most important places in the set while also supporting one of the main archetypes that will probably be in limited by being an enchantment.

Cry more. It's more an enchantment design that they made a land for no reason. If you remove it's counters it can't even fucking tap for anything. They probably just added that on because they don't want to open up the design space of enchantments having tap abilities because they say that's one of the only things that separates enchantments and artifacts.

If your land count is NOT divisible by two smaller natural numbers without rounding, you have a prime number of lands. Here's the prime numbers up to one thousand: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, 113, 127, 131, 137, 139, 149, 151, 157, 163, 167, 173, 179, 181, 191, 193, 197, 199, 211, 223, 227, 229, 233, 239, 241, 251, 257, 263, 269, 271, 277, 281, 283, 293, 307, 311, 313, 317, 331, 337, 347, 349, 353, 359, 367, 373, 379, 383, 389, 397, 401, 409, 419, 421, 431, 433, 439, 443, 449, 457, 461, 463, 467, 479, 487, 491, 499, 503, 509, 521, 523, 541, 547, 557, 563, 569, 571, 577, 587, 593, 599, 601, 607, 613, 617, 619, 631, 641, 643, 647, 653, 659, 661, 673, 677, 683, 691, 701, 709, 719, 727, 733, 739, 743, 751, 757, 761, 769, 773, 787, 797, 809, 811, 821, 823, 827, 829, 839, 853, 857, 859, 863, 877, 881, 883, 887, 907, 911, 919, 929, 937, 941, 947, 953, 967, 971, 977, 983, 991, and 997.

Prime numbers are useful because they can be considered the building blocks of composite numbers. Prime factorization (breaking a number down into only prime factors) allows for simple calculation of lowest common multiple, greatest common factor, etc..

Strixhaven was like 2-4 years ago. We're two or so years on from MOM, at least, and I dunno the time gap between MOM and Strixhaven. Zimone was, I think, like 13 or 14 in Strixhaven, so she's probably like 16-18 now.

It's not self-mill. It's self-exile. And not even the good kind. You can't play those cards. They are gone forever. You have to put too much mana into it for it to even be half worth it and at that point you've just thrown away 10 or so cards forever. Just run one of the other thousand draw x cards. Explosion//Expansion or whatever is way better. That card is just plain terrible.

Who cares, unless you were planning to draw your entire deck and play those cards, it might as well say "exile the bottom X cards". It even gives you more info on your potential draws.
I can hear the argument about it not being worth the mana investment, but you get ~1/3 of the mana back in treasures? I dunno, it's hard to evaluate without playing it.

>>
>>93784767
>"When the first..."
It's mechanically different. The card could have entered the battlefield after the first occurrence that turn. Unintuitively makes you track the "first" before you even play it, and makes it weaker.
>"Once per turn, when..."
Don't see a huge fault with this one, although it does not line up with how triggered abilities are usually worded and leaves ambiguous whether it triggers the first time, or if you choose when it triggers each turn. Would probably require some changes to the comprehensive rules to work.

Tracking aids exist for a reason.
>>
>>93784955
But you dont count the room at all so dice dont work, and it's not like an adventure where you set it off to the side. It's just a silly design for no reason when they could have easily been something else.
>>
>>93784944

It happens when.

But anyway, there must be an alternative to what they have written. "Whenever" is the exact fucking opposite of "once per turn". So many people aren't going to read to the end.

I think the biggest fault with "once per turn" isn't people not reading to the end, it's people being disappointed when the DO read to the end. It creates a bad reaction, as we can see from this conversation even happening.
I agree that leading with the once per turn clause first will make it read better and solve this problem, if it's a problem big enough to need solving. I expect it's a conversation Wizards has been having given the backlash to "Once per turn" this year and last.
Even just starting with "when" rather than "whenever" would go a long way, and we do already have many triggered abilities formatted with "when".

No it's not. It's saying that I recognize his post is provocative and bait but I'm not going to take it and I'm not going to engage in his bullshit. It's mocking him by giving him a fake response to his post
