I’ve been running the same deck for 12 years now with various twists and turns in the build. Imagine you’re standing in an empty warehouse and I paint a big red X under you before tediously assembling the worlds most complicated mousetrap filling every square inch of the space. For the first half you’re amused because it’s so precarious it couldn’t possibly work but then you’re confused because it just keeps going and getting weirder. Finally you attempt to parse out what thus thing actually does and before you get to the 8th moving part you die of an aneurysm as you realize I’ve just been building Inexplicable rule interactions to simulate a first person view of unmedicated ADHD.
If I have to remember how layers work I scoop on principle. Same with banding.
Banding is easy. People just didn’t like it because a measly 1/1 could stop Timmy’s giant trampling green creature.
If you sac a myr retriever to krark clan ironworks in order to pay for something you’re casting then myr retriever is already in the graveyard when myr retriever’s trigger goes on the stack allowing it to retrieve itself. This is because the sac effect of ironworks is a mana ability and thus moves the creature you sac outside of the stack itself.
The graveyard can be seen both as a literal cemetery for creatures and as a a pile of forgotten memories. I think cards that exile the opponents libraries are closer to bimbofication, as the knowledge is then forever lost, rather than becoming memories of the past.
Of course there are fewer cards that can mass exile opponent’s libraries, so it’s a bit tricky to do in a real game. In bracket 2-3, I like Maralen, Fae Ascendent as a clone deck to mill into exile the opponents, especially when playing against green decks.I thought I knew what bimbofication meant but based on how it’s used in the meme and your comment I apparently do not. Can you please explain?
As far as I understand, a bimbo is commonly a person that is superficial and put a lot of effort in an exaggeratedly hyperfeminine appearance, and people into bimbofication will sometimes want to be (or to look) dumbed-down to fit that persona, and I think this is what this post is referring to.
The difference between graveyard and exile in this context is that graveyard for non-creature spells is like a pile of old memories that you keep and can still access, while the exile is like becoming non-existent or out of reach.
Now that I look into it, though, I feel like the mill cards flavor is pretty fitting for the theme. Besides the mill and grind cards, it’s a lot of stuff that plays with your head, like “Mesmeric Orb”, “Mindcrank”, “Mindskinner”, “Fractured Sanity”, “Memory Erosion”, etc. While the cards that exile stuff from opponents libraries are less focused besides a few Faeries.
