DINO-HANDS!

In LOVE with this.

Curious to see where Ixalan’s gods will sit on the color pie—especially since we already have RGW with the Sun Empire’s Threefold Sun. The art/epithet of Ojer Axonil seems like BR or BRG?

A sketchdump. I'm here and dinosaurs are cool. Maybe I should draw more agumon from memory?

Been testing with friends.

Um.

Even if you tap out, Power Surge deals 0 damage.

OJER INCREASES THAT TO 4 AT THE LEAST.

This card is AWESOME.

i literally already am brewing for ojer axonil

show the slimmest amount of interest and i'll share the decklist

[devilcat3d]

whats a magic deck youve been wanting to make for a while but havent gotten around to building? ive been wanting to build mono white d&t and eggs for a while :3

if you mean in general i pretty much build every deck idea that comes to my mind on archidekt!! i have an addiction to deck building and i try to do it for every cool idea i have cause you never know what youll really enjoy till you play it!! but if you specifically mean in paper theres definitely decks that ive wanted to build but money and stuff has kept me from being able to get around to it. specifically i have an ojer axonil, deepest might burn deck that ive always enjoyed playing but other decks online are more fun so itd be perfect for building in paper!! otherwise i absolutely love my gandalf polyamory deck and would kill to play it in paper (it would also give me an excuse to play with my copy of wedding ring hehehehehe) and id be so happy to build that when i have a stable life. ooh also ive been really invested in my orzhov breena, the demagogue deck. its a really simple pillowfort deck in one of my favorite color pairs that also just happens to run some of my favorite cards!! also mono white death and taxes and eggs sounds super cool actually i think you should give building it a shot!! i highly reccomend mono white even tho a lot of people might tell you its boring, in fact my gandalf deck is sort of white eggs coded if you want to take ideas from that!!

heres the decklists i mentioned!!!!

Hey Mark, Ojer Axonil’s backside is a little confusing. Do I have to deal 4 damage with a sorcery or at sorcery speed to flip him back over?

The activated ability to transform him back can only be used as a sorcery. The red sources that have to do 4 or more damage can be whatever, including instants.

Hi Jay! A question about the gods of Ixalan: now that we’ve probably seen all the god cards in LCI, what’s up with the Threefold Sun/Kinjalli, Ixalli and Tilonalli (why didn’t they get a card)? Are they a bastardization of Ojer Jaq, Ojer Kaslem and Ojer Axonil, or did they just not get a card? And relatedly, the Sun Empire folks in the story carry fragments of the Threefold Sun as lights, but what exactly are those?

Chimil is the origin of Threefold Sun, with some millennia of drift, although elements of the three aspects may have been taken from the other Deep Gods. Gishath, as an avatar of the Threefold Sun, is already a manifestation of divinity.

The Threefold Sun things were just magic lamps with poetic language.

Arbaaz Mir shenanigans went ballistic last night!

1 of the facedown cards is Norin the Wary the other is my hand. Getting Arbaaz double triggers due to Gandalfmonicon and Norin enter in and exiting is an amazing engine.

Norin and other artifacts entering helped me eliminate the Squirrels players but the Omo player started picking apart my board…totally justified. While the Rankle player kept doing sacrificing shennanigans.

Ended up winning. The omo player casted newlamog and exiled half of my library but that ended up making me too decking an Ojer Axonil and doing more damage to eliminate the Rankle player.

I’m happy with the new commander bans. I saw mana vault sky rocket, so I might sell my 3 copies rather than use them because it’s not that good imo. Basically a colorless Dark Ritual. I wouldn’t mind Sol Ring being banned either. I left that one out of my last 3 home brews, and I can’t imagine squeezing it in now. Ojer Axonil has gotten even better with the last 2 sets.

How has your magic gaming been?

ive basically quit magic at this point. recently got some starter decks for flesh and blood, thats p fun to mess with. ive been considering getting into warhammer, kill team has the new edition and thats p interesting. i still enjoy blood bowl tho

anyway banning big dumb mana accelerators and thus tanking their value so investor dweebs get mad is fine. i think a sol ring ban would be Fine but i kinda like it being an icon of the format flavorwise

[sheepgirlwizard]

i love how of the current god cycle for ixalan, the one god who was the main antagonist afaik (aclazotz) is the worst of the gods revealed. like ojer axonil is p good, ojer taq is nigh busted for mondrak decks, and ojer pakpatiq is really good for instant heavy decks. but aclazotz is just kinda ok in discard decks. like waste not is a better card than aclazotz shdkdhsjd

So from what I can see this is a Voltron Yargle deck. And you are playing rakdos burn (I can only make out the Ojer Axonil and the mana rocks)

Two very aggressive strategies. But with such a big Commander he requires less setup. Bring a few equipments out and then yargle and start swinging. Whereas you take longer to build up a board and get value out of your burn spells.

Also are you playing 1v1 Commander? Usually the one who goes first wins there or the one with the more aggressive strategy, because you don‘t have to content with three people. Just with one.

Maybe try Oathbreaker or Brawl. Might be a better format if you like commander and want to play 1v1.

HOW???!

WHY??!!!

I keep losing to this jank $7 YARGLE deck!

I love your blog and I see it says "please talk to me about MTG" So here's a question

What's your preferred format?? I'm a Commander player myself but I've also played Pioneer, Pauper, and legacy! (Proxies legacy tho ain't nobody got money for that XD)

And follow up question, what's your fave deck? :3

awwww im glad you like my blog <3

i am also a commander player, its the format i enjoy the most and i think playing mtg as a social game is super fun!!

i used to play standard back during theros block but that didn't last very long cause i was young and bad at the game lol but i also occasionally play modern and pioneer decks with my wife and ive played pauper a few times (i love mono black burn lmao)

as for favorite deck ive said this a few times but its probably currently between ojer axonil, deepest might, gandalf the white (i have a post about this deck on my mtg sideblog), ukkima, stalking shadow (also have a post about this ;3) and some honorable mentions are jolrael, voice of zhalfir and niv-mizzet supreme :3

thank you for the ask!!!!

[markrosewater]

Could y’all have Ovidio do a video pronunciation guide for the Ixalan cards with Meso-American names? It would help to hear someone familiar with the dialect say the names the right way (after he talked about Ojer Axonil at the panel, I’ve heard dozens of people try to read it phonetically and it come out completely different)

I can ask. I have Ovidio on my podcast next week talking about The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, so you can hear him talk about a lot of things from the set. It's not at all a pronunciation guide though, so I can ask for that.
