Declining the cornucopia trigger is actually something you want to do commonly, if you play something like layline and then play Atraxa you can decline the trigger on layline and instea use it on Atraxa giving you four life instead of one.
Nice tip! Turns out reading the card is pretty good! haha I mentally equated it with "first spell each turn" instead of "do this only once each turn" Appreciate it 🥂
I've had many games taking a Control deck to very low life, only for Cornucopia stabilize them back and making my job impossible, very good card indeed. And Apparatus is so fun when it pops of, getting those X cost on the cheap is crazy.
I've really been sleeping on cornucopia, mostly because 4 big score mythics is a hefty cost xD But it's really worth it. It feels like in most decks Atraxa would just be better but the mindsplice synergy was something atraxa can't benefit from. I feel like this may have some untapped potential. Appreciate your support even throughout your burnout haha
i played it to horrible results, but at least i managed to pop with it at x=4 a couple of times :) my idea was to run as many cards with multiple types as possible like creature-articafts, creature-enchantments, artifact lands and split cards if i remember correctly are instant and sorcery in one, but still it was hard to hit, but next set has a lot of mixed cards
@@Zvejas_EzYs it’s definitely a situational 1 of lol pesky mono red can just turbo blitz it for sure. Definitely a tricky pile to navigate. I’m glad you at least got to x=4 tho! 🥳
That otter with offspring? Yeah that thing is pretty nasty. Big fan of it lol This is one of those decks where a lot of funsie 1 or 2 ofs can be slotted in. Appreciate the comment my friend :)
Oooo nice. It’s been awhile since I’ve played explorer but I could see nykthos being used for it since you just need 1 color rather than the 4 for Atraxa
Thank you! And yes you really need to, it’s not a budget friendly card obviously but boy is it damn good! 👍 the life gain and ramp all in one is so nice 😊
Turn 1 plot demonic ruckus Turn 2 drop heartfire hero put demonic on for that +3/+3 Turn 3 Monstrous rage +7/+7 swing then flick. 21 damage 💀 Ive ended so many games this way

Nice one! I could see the otter that looks for cards in there! Getting what u need early can be very good, also can be copied.

@@ManaManMTG yes! Very good card, almost a memory deluge😆
I absolutely love Portent of Calamity, suprised no one uses it I love it. Run it in a cool Jeskai Planeswalkers deck
@@Squiddlley it’s definitely a very wacky card 🤣 it’s like Atraxa kinda in sorcery form! Super fun. Jeskai walkers sounds awesome!
Dude, Portent has so much potential. Good idea!
Right?! I tried to make the most use I could of it. I think it has crazier potential in other formats and of course commander/brawl haha
@@ManaManMTG I tried it out in a Simic Nykthos Ramp shell in Explorer and it was a good time when it worked. It was like a baby Atraxa.
Oooo nice. It’s been awhile since I’ve played explorer but I could see nykthos being used for it since you just need 1 color rather than the 4 for Atraxa
I really need to craft Cornucopia. Im primarily a free player now and days so trying to craft is a struggle l😂. Good games mang
Thank you! And yes you really need to, it’s not a budget friendly card obviously but boy is it damn good! 👍 the life gain and ramp all in one is so nice 😊
I’ve been trying to get crokeyz to play those in timeless with all the eldrazi
@@Temurmemer I know nothing about timeless tbh 🤣 but that does sound gnarly! Eldrazis are scary! 🫣
@@ManaManMTG Yeah and portent cast them do they get their triggers lol

@@novalution9971 mono red is absolutely wild rn lmao I no joke think it’s the best deck in the format
