Actually, fling could work well with the Enigma Drake deck I posted, the way I see it, making a 10+/4 Drake hasty isn't very hard and from there a Fling would do the trick.

On another note, there's a long forgotten card I've been thinking about but haven't found the best way or deck to use it in yet: Sanitarium Skeleton. The idea is get maximum value out of all the Discard/loot effects in the new set. This card is by far the easiest recurrable way to get a card back to your hand from the graveyard and its Instant speed. At worst, its a 1-drop chumper. The card isn't meant for a lightning fast blitz deck, but a more value orientated mid-range/controlish deck.
Could be for a haunted-dead/prized amalgam/ gy recurring deck, with extra Discard/madness thrown in. Could also be a recurrable creature to sac for the black god... Any other ideas?


I used it when madness first came out. The card is fine, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just very expensive. There are not many better 1 drops for that type of deck.

I think Abzan, maybe. I wish we could do it with Zombies. Hmmm... maybe. There are just not maybe Zombies you want to kill all the time. In Abzan, I'd still consider the old eldrazi sub theme, and if I did, we really haven't gained anything for the deck other than Bontu. :-/

Does 20 divide by 3? Not exactly of course. Pity because a triple whammy of Chandra's ignition, Swing, Fling gets the job done but for 7 power rather than 6. Room I guess for a shock finish literally!

I wanted to go Mardu crats due to the new white zombies and some indestructibility, but indeed taking away blue could prove slower without a token factory.

Anyways, that Nantuko Husk really wants to Chip Health & Fling Face.

So fun little interaction: turns out that if your creature ETB's and puts -1/-1 counters on things, you can target Glyph Keeper with the counters, and GK will counter the effect. Probably not the greatest combo ever, but it's still a decent interaction.

AI uses that a lot. Speaking of AI, it seems a lot stronger now that it doesn't have Crew futzing it up, tho it def isn't very bright with Exert. But its been using more interactive cards like counters, sweeps, and spot removal.

I'd like Insult/Injury for my Thermo grinding deck. Seems perfect for Thermos, esp in 2HG.

Yeah, that's where I saw it happen. I was like, oh neato... way to do something smart for once, Mr. AI sir.

Anyway, first up: Insult // Injury in a prowess deck. Oh boy.

Insult to Injury is so much fun, but makes me miss Skullcrack so we could do cool tricks like this.

Lol, that's one of the worst and best things I've ever read, at the same time.

Also, welcome back! Been too long man.

Yeah, and I'm way behind on acquiring cards, lol. Keep trying to build decks and missing key cards. And thanks.

If you need a grinding deck, let me know. I've built a few that just rip through the AI super fast - for when you just want to collect (don't mind the occasional reset), and don't feel like a challenge or doing anything original.

Nah, I quickly assembled a simple yet effective red-deck-wins deck for grinding. Someone once told me (regarding Standard paper Magic but it seems to apply here): "RDW is always viable." And to boot the RDW motto is "Win fast or not at all." I tend reach my daily gold limit most days, it's just there are so many cards now.

Yeah man... if you are going that route, the fastest cards are probably all in the latest sets - this is just for speed unlocking, not necessarily for consistency - but who cares if you're just grinding.
