yeah. you cant use cards that have another color not found in your commander's cost or abilities, even if its a hybrid cost

But caller is cheaper and more likely to come out early. Yeah double white is a bit harder, but if he decides to use the second ability then he can make his aggro stronger for at least the turn he plays Ajani

You can't run dire undercurrents because it has blue in it

only one of my decks has cleared 100 likes. it uh, it kinda broke the hot page for like...2 months

worse than crack i think. im always doing card research and trying to make myself better, plus help others

indeed it is

thanks KJSJ3. sorry i didnt mention you as one of the big names lol

agreed MM. thats exactly what i was getting at. and it is about helping each other out. i take help i get on here seriously, because it helps make my decks and games more enjoyable with my friends when we all play

also i noticed that a lot of your comments are spam for other decks you have done. you should really try other methods of getting your decks noticed. Witty names, odd or ingenious deck builds, i hear budget is super popular right now too. there is always a way to get a deck noticed. a few of mine have been popular simply because of the name, theme, or just what the deck did overall.

see, right here is where you drop in the decks that you are talking about, and it might even get you a few new views and maybe even some comments on the decks you linked and maybe even a few you didnt. and you know what? its not spamming because im using them to make a point, not to get views and comments. ive been the top of the hot page a few times and while its nice, holy balls is it hard to keep up with replying to all the comments. im content with a few small comments from people like Gothy, NorthernWarlord, JacetheMindScupltor, Jessie, s0rinmark0v, and many of the other big names on here. i had my moment when i broke the hot page with my Gilder Bairn Kiora combo deck. im fine with the occasional passing comment here or there now, but do not spam, or else everyone on the site will hate you for it. its not a threat, its just how it is

it is spam. all you did was say "great deck" and then ask for popularity. and because you asked on at least 6 different decks, then yes, you are spamming. if your deck is similar to the one you are commenting about, then its not such a big deal to leave it in a comment if you are pointing out how it is similar. but all you did was say two words about his deck, hence everyone's annoyance. you spammed, and we called you out on it. just deal with it.

for...(wait for it)...shenanigans

it basically is, but that one trick will really piss off an opponent lol

This is nasty and I love it! I'm a fan of master of cruelties and still run him in my modern Rakdos aggro

Closest possibility is Rogue's Passage, but it takes 4 mana to do it

If only lol

Win time is usually dependant on what your opponent is using

You could go old school Rakdos and use hellbent and ensnaring bridge to keep you from being attacked. Just a thought

The key to passing with Rakdos is knowing that you are going to be hurt, and making sure your opponent takes more than you. It's not always easy, but it can be done. I run two havoc festival in my Rakdos deck because if I get to the point that I can cast it, then chances are I can do some serious damage with it. Now I have lost because if it as well, but it was literally by the skin of their teeth that my opponent lives.

He also has haunting echoes, which hits everything in the graveyard save basic lands. Combo deck or not, that can really screw someone a good portion of their deck suddenly vanishes. That and the fact that this is mill makes it even more dangerous because it puts them as step closer to decking out.

On a different note, have you considered breaking // entering? It's like glimpse only for eight cards, not ten

Unless you are trying to win with near death experience

No. Tree of Redemption's effect is a form of life gain. If an effect does not specify that life is gained or lost, but states that you change your life total in ANY way, it is considered as either life gain or life loss. This also means that things that trigger from life gain or loss would also apply, so if say you went down, it could trigger an opponent's Bloodchief Ascension, or if you went up it could trigger Rhox Faithmender or Archangel of Thune. Hope this helps!
