What’s going on everyone DNinja89 here and I’m back with another Gem or jank. This week we have Gyruda mill a combo and mill deck. If you want to see it in action then check out my YouTube channel. I upload every Tuesday, Friday and Sundays. Hope to see you there!
So at its core it’s a combo deck the combo involves Gyruda and shepherd. Shepherd to make copies of Gyruda to mill ourselves and our opponents then finish them off by either burning them with hound or mill with maddening cacophony.

Glasspool mimic.

I’ll give it a shot!
It's a gut reaction from my part :)People seem to be into copying creatures lately, so I sort of go through a small mental library.In it I got glasspool mimic and Phyrexian Metamorph stored, as they are my favourites to memorize.Metamorph because it can be in any deck and also copies artifactsGlasspool mimic because it's also a land.Some cards are just in the back of my head.Everytime I see a new creature type I always go through all creatures with changeling to see if there's anything noteworthy.Each time someone posts a sliver deck with white in it, I cry Mirror Entityone day I'll put it all down on paper to free up some memory space in my head.
only issue with Glasspool Mimic // Glasspool Shore here is that Gyruda, Doom of Depths cannot bring it back from the graveyard, as it is an odd mana cost rather than even. Phyrexian Metamorph is a good call though.
The mimic can copy something in play before you kill stuff, otherwise it's just a land, but 3-4 extra lands shouldn't stop gyruda.It took me a while to learn not to always see the game as one type of scenarios.Mimic won't be usefull in that one situation, but on average it will be good in a lot of other situations.Metamorph isn't arena material unless they reprinted it.
I guess so... but even still it comes at the cost of making it more likely that you will whiff on your gyruda ability. Gyruda works best when you can chain it over and over again.perhaps Spark Double or [[Mirrorhall Mimic]] might fit better? they don't have the utility of also being extra lands, but Mirrorhall Mimic // Ghastly Mimicry does some pretty impressive things and can even gyruda multiple times if it gets killed, via the Disturb ability. Spark Double can copy a planeswalker if you need it too, and it comes in with extra P/T or loyalty counter. AND disregards the legendary rule.
Didn't see the 4cc clause.The others are clearly better options.
yeah, they have to be even to work with Gyruda's ability. they could be 2, 4, 6, 8, etc... but have to be even.
Still, sometimes an odd (pun intended) card can fix the problems of a deck by being somewhat different.I've seen it again and again in my own experiments with evolution. It's rare though, and it takes a hell of a lot of research to find such cards.Take Horned Helm for instance, if it hadn't been because I was searching for trample cards to put into a white deck with immolating souleater + children of korlis, I would never in my life had thought of it in a deck with burn and kiln fiend. Kiln fiend decks usually have numerous other cards to give them trample, but I've found that sometimes having the helm equipped on kiln fiend or festival crasher gives the deck a much needed defensive move. I'd never consider horned helm as being usefull if it wasn't because both decks I'm talking about are halfdecks, meant to shuffle together with another random deck. Never in a million years would I have put that card in a kiln fiend deck myself, but Using halfdeck designs forces me to rethink cards constantly.The point here is, you don't really know how a card will shape the way you play out a deck before you actually plays with it. Us humans think were so smart, but it can be a humiliating experience to see something unthinkable improve a deck in a direction you wouldn't have looked otherwise.On a practical level, most people don't test very extensive, so they never try those odd cards and just wait till someone else have been through that process. It's a smart move, but rogue players will keep them on their toes.
fair enough. I myself have some... odd card decks that I really like. such as using Roar of Jukai with Tainted Remedy and arcane spells that cantrip into more arcane spells such as Eerie Procession. or using Alabaster Leech and [[painter's servant]] and Harmless Offering effects to lock people out of casting spells.EDIT: too bad we can't do links for cards with ' in the name. I am sure there is some delimiter for it, but I have no idea what it is. :(
Yeah, it's a bit of a nuisance :)Good thing I know the card well.I had an GR deck once based on what was once called "birdshit"(Chalice of the Void & creatures that couldn't be countered)I called my brew birdshit painter and had 12 cards that dealt with blue cards.Later designs were pretty fast but painterless.Harmless offering is likely to have an odd combo that mimics the old beeble donate.
