If you haven‘t tried auspicious starrix with volo, you‘re missing out. Just casting one is effectively a genesis ultimatum with volo out. If you play other mutates like gem raze, greathorn and shore shark you can get insane value. Just make sure to mutate under to keep your types. Also scute swarm is insane as always

you need a really good reason to be running pact of negation in historic brawl. more often than not it'll just counter a spell at the cost of your turn. Jorn is one of the few commanders that can utilize the card perfectly fine outside of protecting a combo.

I have a question: If you bounce Shephard with a green spell on the stack, does that spell become counteralbe again? Or will Counterspell still not work then because the spell was put on the stack while being uncounterable? I know LDV didn't have the mana for both the chanel and the Counterspell, I'm just genuinely curious on how that interaction works. Either way, very cool game and deck

Removing it would still allow you to counter spells on the stack successfully.

In match 2, volo gets flickered by an opposing thassa. Is it no longer possible to send to the command zone when something is flickered, or is that just an arena bug?

@L3raje Жыл бұрын

Text on Thassa says it comes back under "your control", so under the control of LVD's opponent. Also, since a flickering creature is treated as a "new creature", it loses the condition that binds it to the Mindflayer. So the opponent could effectively steal a creature every 2 turns, nasty combo.
