I'm not here often, someone let me know how to turn just the title of the deck into a link to it, like I'm seeing others do. Anyways I think this looks like a fairly neat although common deck (I know lots of people do the assault formation + walls thing). Really what I'm here for is to ask is if there are any walls that have better toughness to mana cost ratios than Wall of Tanglecord. Within Green/Black or Colorless of course.

Any other feedback is welcome too of course.

General Magic / Question about phasing

« on: October 11, 2015, 08:16:16 pm »

If a creature is tapped, then phases out during the untap step, then phases back in, does it return tapped or untapped? if it returns tapped, do you still get to untap it, or does it enter after the untap step entirely?

I've read the rules on like 3 different sites and cant find this addressed, how does untapping phased permanents work??

General Magic / Infinite Damage Combo?

« on: September 30, 2015, 06:22:18 pm »

So I run a wall deck. One of the aims of the deck is to beef the hell out of Souls of the Faultless. You equip it with Darksteel Plate, Pariah's Shield, and Swiftfoot Boots. This way any damage dealt to me is actually dealt to Souls of the Faultless, causing the opponent to lose that much life instead, while I gain that much life. I'm considering putting Flesh Reaver in this deck.

Suppose I already have the full combo out. Now I attack with Flesh Reaver, he deals 4 damage either to the opponent or to a blocking creature. In turn he deals 4 damage to me as well, which then is dealt to Souls of the Faultless instead, who then deals 4 more damage to the opponent and I gain 4 life. Now, Flesh Reaver says WHENEVER he deals damage to ANY creature, he deals 4 damage to me. So the 4 damage dealt to Souls of the Faultless causes Flesh Reaver to deal 4 more damage to me, which instead goes back to Souls of the Faultless and this process, I believe, would repeat endlessly until the opponent has lost all of their life, 4 damage at a time, and the game ends.

Is this correct? Am I missing something?

Edit: It just occurred to me that Souls of the Faultless says the damage is dealt to ATTACKING player, which would be me. So instead, suppose I have the combo set up on Wall of Souls, who I also run in that deck. I think this infinite combo should work then, on Wall of Souls instead.
