Gosh I hate Wizards just making custom commanders for every tribe. Cant wait for every eldrazi deck to devolve into the same boring copypaste deck.

anon dont you like 15 new precons every year with 10 of them having 'some chick (male) from r&d wanted a hyperspecific commander for their brew so we printed their dream card' creatures?
>>
>>93117676
I remember making a Child of Alara deck with myrs and the original Zendikar colored eldrazi to make mana to cast the big ones 12 years ago.

Part of the fun was having to use a nonoptimal commander just for the colors and having to fill gaps to still get the theme. Now the average player wont fucking read or build their own deck so Wizards needs to print auto run training wheel 5 color perfect commanders. Every tribe needs its braindead Edgar Markov to remove all difficulty deckbuilding.

Thirty (30) starting life is objectively superior to fourty (40)
>>
>>93117749
I dont think gatekeeping would have stopped it, once the internet got popular for MTG and sites like EDHrec just let people immediately find the most popular and optimal cards, the age of innovation kinda died.

People still make fun new stuff, its just rarer these days and get punished by normal decks that all just have fully optimized decks because the information is all out there and have been done to death.

How would you feel if a Pantlaza deck won with Barren Glory on turn 5 or 6?

It's basically a joke but I'm not sure how to bring it up at Rule 0 without spoiling it. Not saying anything feels kinda lame too.
>>
>>93117821
If someone complains about a Barren Glory win then they should seek help.
>>
>>93117811
It wasn't even bad intention at first, I remember the guy talking in forums about his project and not sure it was even going to work. Its one of those things where it both allowed a ton more people to get into the game, but also caused problems for the game as well.

If Wizard's just didnt custom make cards for the format and then just let good commander options appear overtime, it would have been better, but they needed that paycheck.
>>
>>93117735
>>93117749
Man I remember using so many different commanders trying to make my angel tribal deck work. It was fun to tweak and optimise the list, always feeling there was some way to improve.
Then with giada being printed it felt like shooting myself in the foot if I didn't use that card as my commander.
I wish it stopped at tribal but everything feels like training wheels now. I have 2 mono white decks and there are so many more auto includes. Where I used to balance and tweak card advantage, ramp, stax and tempo, it now feels like everything is spoonfed by the same handful of cards.
Yet all my friends have fallen into the same trap, and if I don't play those made for commander staples, I sit at a glaring disadvantage. The main challenges I face brewing a new deck are so vastly different, it feels like I'm sifting through slop to find that unsullied jank again.
>>
>>93117865
I've made a ton of decks over the years, but my main deck has always been my mono blue Talrand deck.

Funnily enough, so much powercreep has happened that the deck feels way too slow these days, it used to be the most controlly and annoying deck in my playgroup when in college, to now being basically a casual deck.

At least that is fine, I just get to put the insanely good blue spells in there without feeling like I'm going too far, but crazy looking back at just how far we have gone.

Should I keep running Thrumminbird in infect or should I replace it with (yet another) evasive 2- to 3-mana infect/toxic creature like Pestilent Syphoner or Whispering Specter? Cause while putting a poison counter on every opponent that already has one if you deal combat damage to any opponent does seem good, it's kind of bad to get it in my opening hand when I don't have anything that actually puts counters on people, and there's often a pretty small window between when I've gotten counters on all opponents and everybody having a blocker with flying or reach so I rarely get more than 1 or 2 turns of use of it. Of course that's true for small infect creatures as well, but at least those can help put counters on people in the early game.
>>
>>93118090
Infect is gay and you should stop running it.

Goddamn I hate the faggots in WotC that clearly design "this would be perfect" cards for their pet decks. They're almost always juiced with WORDS WORDS WORDS to be a staple of the archetype in a way that's obvious to whatever drooling moron even glances at EDHREC. It's frustrating to think the decks I've been invested in for years are slowly approaching precon levels because I'm not interested in VALUE VALUE VALUE made for Commander cards that lead to games measured in hours.

I hope some day a judge has to answer some angle shooting grognard asking if "could" is fulfilled by just having a card like Damping Sphere in a decklist at the table. It's dumb, but so is the phrasing for that card.

Mill is instantly solved by 1 blowout card anywhere in the 99

Infect and "solitaire" (which could be any one of a dozen wincons like infinites or just cards that read "You win the game") are much harder to interact with.

Usually fairly quickly he goes from a 1/5 or a 2/5 to a 10+/5 and if I can Entomb/Bury Alive/Jarad's Orders or whatever graveyard tutor my Brawn he ends up with trample.

Here's the decklist I'm taking to my LGS in a couple hours for Commander Night
>>
>>93118638
Does he actually get the power from thing with variable power? I thought they'd just be treated as 0.
>>
>>93118646
He doesn't, any creature with variable power doesn't have the ability that determines it active in the graveyard (unless they print some fucked up abomination that does). So they'll all have 0 power.
>>
>>93118646
So from what I know, the star is what makes the difference. it's a non-determined value so the innate check is checked at all times in all zones, a lot like Keldon Warlord. Like, if Lord of Extinction is in the graveyard and there's 10 total cards that are in all graveyards, he's treated as a 10/10 in that zone. If he got shuffled into my Library, he'd count as a 9/9 in there for anything that'd check it, since the value isn't "determined" on the card.
As opposed to Death's Shadow which has that ability that gives it -X/-X where X is your life total, since it isn't on the field, the 13 is the determined value that's checked.
>>
>>93118646
* Values are solved at all times, x values are only solved when applicable
>>
>>93118559
At least with Zurgo you can see it coming since he needs to actually kill things to get to 21/21. I was talking about the kinds of decks that just delete you out of nowhere the moment you don't have a blockers to sacrifice every turn or aren't holding interaction.

>>93118570
Infect's not particularly hard to interact with. Just kill the infect creatures or keep blockers. They're mostly 1/1s so it's not hard. That limits the deck to relying on proliferate, which slows it down enough that you should be able to win with combat damage. Barring a game where all the stars align for the infect player and he has a hand full of every cheap proliferate spell ever printed and the mana to cast them and nobody has counterspells, you're getting 1 or 2 counters a turn. More than enough to burn his life total down if you play aggressively since the odds are you're not the only one attacking him.
Dealing with infect is only an issue if you're playing a deck whose entire game plan is to durdle behind a dozen propaganda effects for 20 turns until you can flood the board with 1/1 tokens or something.
>>
>>93118646
If it's literally "0", yes. But "*" constantly checks the state of the game after every action taken and adjusts accordingly.
An example would be Nethroi. If I have like 20 Power 0's in my graveyard and a Lord of Extinction in there as well, I would get the 20 power 0's but not Lord of Extinction because it was a 20+ power at the time of the ability going off.

I've got so many cards I wanna use in this deck.
>>
>>93118705
I don't play my infect deck if somebody else is playing infect because yes, in case there's more than one player all stacking counters on people it can easily become unmanageable.
But that's true for most deck types. I once had a game where 3 out of 4 people ran aristocrats decks. The 4th guy melted almost immediately from getting hit by 3 copies of Blood Artist triggers every round.
>>
>>93117185
Just got into commander. I modified my zombie deck and played against my friend. He proceeded to bitch about rooftop storm, then played eldrazi and had multiple cost reductions come up. Then still bitched about rooftop storm! I have a 1% chance to draw it and it's the only zombie cost reduction I've found. Why do card games bring out the worst in people? He's bought the most expensive precon commanders and has said "everyone should just play precons, they are balanced". That can't be true if some precons go for 20 bucks and others go for 180 bucks right? People aren't paying for the "this deck is just super neat" factor?
>>
>>93118693
>At least with Zurgo you can see it coming since he needs to actually kill things to get to 21/21
you will see it coming, true, but not like you think

>>93118748
Your friend is a bitch, but rooftop storm is a notorious combo piece
>>
>>93118748
Actually people do pay for that factor, however dude sounds like a dick. And kind of mid at the game, he either is bad natured doing things for his advantage, or just dumb and doesn't understand.
>>
>>93118779
I've seen stuff like combo acererak, crawl the dungeon. But I thought the point of commander having 99 cards is it's super hard to get combo cards together because you can't run multiples and the ammount of cards makes it so you have to just be super lucky. Zombies just don't seem viable without heavy modification and even then it seems like it'll just be mid tier.
>>
>>93118782
Probably doing things for his advantage. I haven't played card games for awhile and I came from going in and out of yugioh. It's nice because it reminds me of school yard rivalrys against people with strong decks/cards. We have one friend that has made this badass batman theme equip deck deck that's super strong. I tried to beat it with dragons and failed but instead of just getting mad I told her I'm going to get better and get better cards and I'll be back for a rematch. It felt good to have a rival deck to strive to beat again. But my friend just bitches about that deck and says "it's not fun to play against". Is rival decks and friendly competition common in commander or is it sweaty?

>>
>>93119521
As foretold is the most common one that I've got in mine, Jasper flint for stealing is a lot of fun, and since I'm on MTG I also threw in Grenko because Heist as a mechanic is absolutely broken. I've also got Portal to Phyrexia as a kind of top end but Virtue of Persistence is more flexible and would probably by my other include once I can justify crafting it. There's also a bunch of Monarch enchantments that I similarly haven't bothered getting. Suspend and all that as well but I'm working within my own budget and MTGA games don't tend to let me swing with her all that much since almost every deck is too damn fast, so I'm mostly stalling until I can steal enough stuff via heist that the opponent just scoops

Jasper flint is probably my favorite real card in the deck though, super satisfying just ripping out the top half of their deck, especially control and ramp decks. Replicating ring is also fun to have there since it can keep making new sets and it helps give you all the stuff your Jasper has stolen, though like with a lot of ramp can make you a target as soon as it shows up.

Commander is relatively inaccessible to newer players but is very accessible to established players. A chance to play your old jank or old power is tempting, especially after a few poor standard seasons push people into increasing numbers of flavor of the month formats. At a certain point commander was the only common denominator format that most people had decks for and it reached critical mass.

Nobody talks about it but covid lockdowns contributed too. People were stuck at home with their cardboard, dreaming of playing real games. With games harder to find than ever, the need for a single unifying format was greater, and people were forced to sit next to piles of jank for 3+ months. So they brewed and watched youtube, which became a feedback loop skyrocketing the already popular commander format.

I should say was. 4+ years of constant commander precons have made the format very accessible. But before that picking a legend + 100 unique cards + the weight of every Magic mechanic was daunting, especially compared to a Standard year's only ~2 blocks of shared mechanics and a supplemental set or core set.

Bro, Zendikar 1 was 20 years ago...
>>
>>93121537
What were the matches?
>>
>>93121610
First game:
>Fynn the Fangbearer monogreen infect
>Skythrix monoblack infect
>Stupid ass bird
>Coram, the Undertaker
I killed Fynn with Trailblazer's Boots on Coram, Skythrix killed me and was set to win, Nadu took 10-15 minute turn and ended it with a Craterhoof behemoth. He had Lightning Greaves early and that one thing that landfall makes a saproling or whatever.

Game 2:
>Jon Irenicus funny gifts
>Ghalta, the stompy
>Fynn the fangbearer
>Coram, the Undertaker
Irenicus kinda played me like a fiddle in this game, having me be the real threat with constant promises of kingmaking and us cooperating in a lot of plays. He ended up playing Abyssal Persecutor and giving it to Fynn, I killed Ghalta, and then he cloned Persecutor and gave it to me. Then dropped 3 counterspells in a row on any interaction I had (Beast Within, Sheoldred's Edict, and Chandra's Ignition)
So I scooped on that one because we were hard locked to just sit there for however long it took him to win

Third game:
>Dogmeat
>Sam and Frodo
>Korvold (me)
I drew dead and kept a 2 land hand while waiting for my ride so this one was more of an accepted loss

Irenicus prevents sacrifice and goads, way better for rough shit. Blim is better for a general "give 'em trash and burn 'em for it" strat. Similar but pretty different.

I sure was hoping to win at least once
>>93121647
I don't really think it felt like cedh, the games weren't super duper fast or grindy or anything. The guy piloting Nadu and Jon was a pretty normal and cool dude, so regardless of him kicking my teeth down the back of my throat I think the games were fun. He ended up winning all 3 games.

I think everyone is overlooking the 3+ player aspect of EDH. Using weird cards, not keeping track of what can vs can't have 4 copies, starting as an unofficial format, etc. all helped.

However, the main aspect is that, when you play EDH with a group of 3-4, you don't need to wait to get another game. There is no odd man out. That is very unique to MtG.

2HG comes close, but it's two teams versus a free-for-all. Brawl is not bad but clearly imitates EDH.
>>
>>93121637
My general rule of thumb for MDFC lands is, if it's a card I would normally like in the deck or it serves some function within it, I'll sleeve it up. If none do, I'll then consider my removal options and use whatever ones are available for that, or as a general purpose utility card like Bala Ged Recovery.

My Nicol Bolas deck adopted 4 of them when I had 1 before. Being able to get to 40 lands, but have some of them pull double duty as control/combo pieces certainly did the deck wonders to make control far more viable.

Do people even care about the graveyard stack order nowadays? Seems Cheatyfacey for discard.
>>
>>93122666
If I remember right, it's sort of like the Night and Day cards, where it doesn't matter until the cards come into play and then you must keep track of it. If you're playing Krovikan Horror, then you're required to maintain the order of your graveyard. The only ruling Gatherer gives is "A card is "directly above" another card in your graveyard if it was put into that graveyard later and there are no cards in between the two."
>>
>>93122666
There are so few cards that care about it that it rarely ever comes up, so unless you have competent players who know better, you'll always get people rearranging their graveyard whenever you or they are looking for something.
>>
>>93122666
>>
>>93122702
in correct. it only matters in legacy, vintage, and commander, but basically no one cares. you basically have to declare before each match that you care about graveyard order to make sure anyone abides it, but then you are giving critical info away.
or you could declare you need graves properly ordered before the match even if you don't to keep your opponent guess and also adding unnecessary mental strain to their plays.

>>
>>93122987
It's called.power creeping.
The cards designed in 2000-2018 were healthier than the cards that were still testing the ground of the game (early years of the game), or the cards designed to sell packs because Hasbro is losing money.

I just did this yesterday. I didn't remember whether or not I was playing Corpse Dance in that deck and I play that card in quite a few decks.
There's also a point to be made that the other players also need to maintain their GY order because it matters in case they run some spell stealing cards.

I don't "rely" on their graveyard per se. I use all the Soul Shatter effects, counterspells, and some "mill your opponent" stuff to get Lazav into the nastiest asshole that shows up, and Voltron out wins.

Lieutenant cards and clone spells for them give you a semi-reliably way to get some benefits for having a commander with Hexproof built in, and the dimir Background cards from Baldur's Gate help keep Lazav alive as you swing in.

Dauthi Embrace and other methods of making Lazav unblockable can make him pretty damn scary as you also nuke your opponent's big stuff.

I'm always curious when people are like
>no bro impulse draws and milling yourself are good cuz they let you dig through your deck
but if you build your deck properly then there are mo expendable cards, every card is worth casting because it generates value in some way
>>
>>93126931
but if you build your deck properly you dont need every card, it is just simply okay to lose potential value especially when there is even greater potential value because your deck should be built properly to make use of those cards you milled instead of them just being lost forever

>>93126931
It's cope desu. Impulse draw is objectively garbage, it's gotten better lately because they have simply buffed cast from exile but it's dogshit. And mill is also garbage
>oh but bro you didn't know you were gunna mill that card til you did it could've been any!!!
Cool, it wasn't though
>>
>>93126931
Because a lot of cards value fluctuates depending on board state and situation.
>>
>>93126966
very based
do you have a list i could see anon?
>>
>>93126931
I impulse draw and mill. I also cast each card I exile and mill to the grave. You and I are not the same.

For a more real answer, card selection is powerful. You will never cast every single card in your deck each game so mechanic that put more cards in front of you aren’t really throwing away cards if you don’t cast them. There are cards on the bottom of your deck you won’t cast. So if you impulse draw 3 and only cast/play 2 of the cards, that last card is like being on the bottom of the deck now.
>>
>>93126969
Self mill is fine. If you are milling yourself it should be with the purpose to use those cards in your graveyard. But your argument is a good reason as to why milling an opponent is a good strat because you can mess with many game plans by putting key pieces into their graveyard. Mill advocates are just gaslighting the populace with that “it could have been any card” propaganda. Milling lands actively fucks many players.
>>
>>93126931
it's literally cope from people too poor to buy rhystic study and the other draw engines. That card is the #1 staple for a reason because as you realized if your deck is full of GOOD cards. You want to draw all of them and waste as little as possible so you force your opponent to relentlessly burn their own cards to stop you
>>
>>93124238
Thing with Last Turn decks is that they never tried to use the card as printed, it was always some "I get to have my dude and you don't get to summon anything" fuckery.

>>93120482
The most negates you'll see these days is like 2, if that many, because the top deck got both of its easy negates banned.
>>
>>93127033
>Mill advocates are just gaslighting the populace with that “it could have been any card” propaganda. Milling lands actively fucks many players
objectively true and competent mill decks will utilize cards like mind grind which completely fuck your ability to build a mana base
People often ask me
>why do you despise mill when the archetype never really preforms well
and it is because mill is effectively mass land destruction with extra steps
mass land destruction is also an archetype that never is really "good" this is by design
wotc made these archetypes, realized they fucked up and shoved them awkwardly into the closet.
Unfortunately losers who can't grasp this insist on playing these archetypes anyway. Then they wonder why everyone despises them
>>
hitting a fat mill is just too satisfying to stop, sorry

>>93126981
it's a mix of two budget decks currently, but with optimized slots. theme is instant speed draw + theft
here are the two lists of my decks I combined . look into considering tab for the non-budget stuff.
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/ezJGkr4bdEGJP-nMcTKBgw
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/8NOQRccI9E2SirjwJLDCiQ
favorite cards are Ominous Seas, Drain Power and Reins of Power. and everything that scales with draw/cards in hand obviously.
>>
>>93126931
Impulse draw is often costed more aggressively than true draw, and I run it when it is. Seeing more of your deck gives you more options than seeing less of it. And, if your deck is built properly, no single card being binned is going to hurt you that much.
>>
>if you build your deck properly then there are mo expendable cards, every card is worth casting because it generates value in some way
what a stupid thing to say. I'm a newfag and even I understand that casting on curve will make some cards more important than others depending on current situation, and having the extra selection is a massive advantage for that matter. this anon >>93127167 is right.
>>
>>93127167
impulse draw is a cope, you have not only wasted a slot to include bad draw but now you're throwing away cards needlessly
meanwhile if you could afford true draw you could just...draw all those cards and keep them
or use a tutor like a normal person. Impulses and self mills are budget options, they are not real options
>>
>people crying about new ulamog
if it's 7 mana or above and doesn't immediately win the game, it isn't a good card.

Only one in the cycle with cycling lol. It makes sense because blue, but still it'd be cool if all of them had it. Cycle it early with a chance of being gravehated and later get its benefit. Such cool design.

>50% chance to exile your wincon
problem, timmy?
>>
>>93127258
Anon, I run impulse draw in a deck that also includes Rhystic Study. Because seeing more cards all at once and selecting the ones I need the most right now is better in certain situations than getting one card at a time. A good deck should have a healthy mix of consistent draw and burst draw. And even normal draw is going to result in you binning cards unless you’re wasting a card slot on Reliquary Tower.

There has to be some stupid way you can reliably exile something with CMC 10 or something in colorless.
>>
>>93126931
>but if you build your deck properly then there are mo expendable cards, every card is worth casting because it generates value in some way
Low quality bait. I can't believe anyone replied to this post seriously.
>>
>>93127791
It is indeed low quality. So low quality I'm going to reply to you with my retort to it instead of giving 'em a (You)
In short, some cards are in a deck specifically TO be expendable. Obviously you shouldn't run something whose sole purpose is to be pitched, but there's plenty of stuff that can provide incidental value when pitched, or is good enough to run, but bad enough that you don't feel too hung up about pitching it if needed.
There's also the graveyard acting as a second hand in some decks, but I shouldn't need to elaborate on that

not really the closest I can think is spiteful banditry and even that is far fetched
>>
>>93127760
Yes it's called targeting the player with the highest green ratio in their deck.
>>
>>93128313
Ulamog checks all cards in exile, so theoretically, you could exile draco (CMC 16) from your own deck and always have annihilator 16. Just gotta figure out a way to do it reliably.
>>
>>93126916
Based.
>>
>>93127760
Flickering Ulamog means Ulamog sees himself in exile when he enters. You can do some shenanigans with that.

Another factor is that sometimes you just need a specific thing. For example, a good creature and a good removal spell are both good cards, but sometimes you need a creature, not more removal, and sometimes you need removal, and not another creature. Few, if any, cards are going to be good in every possible scenario, and there's nothing that's your best possible option in every possible scenario. Sometimes the thing you have on hand isn't the thing you need right now, even if it's a good card. That's not even getting into the concept of saving certain cards for later, and not just windmilling them as soon as you draw them; counterspells are the perfect example for this concept. A counterspell is good and there are times where they're definitely worth casting, but if you counter the very first spell you see cast after you draw it, then it isn't worth casting at that time. No one would say counterspells are bad, but they're definitely not something you cast at every single opportunity you have to cast them, and there are even times where a counterspell is completely worthless and isn't going to do anything to help you.

If I have Emiel, Hushbringer and Reclamation sage out, how do i stack the emiel triggers to exile Hushbringer and rec sage so that rec sage comes in and gets an ETB before hushbringer returns? Do I exile hushbringer first then respond to it by blinking it with rec sage?

shill me your favorite naya compatible boardwipes. I'm running delayed blast fireball, dusk // dawn, chandra's ignition and Rampage of the Clans, but I feel like I could squeeze one more one-sided one in there

Wrath of God
>>
>>93129243
blasphemous act is the best wipe in the game
>>
>>93129223
You don’t. Emile’s ability returns the creature as part of the resolution of the same ability that exiled it, so there’s no time window in which another creature can be flickered. If this makes you wonder why you’d ever run Hushbringer in Emiel, the answer is that you wouldn’t.

is dusk // dawn one sided largely for your deck? Cause if so there are quite a few white board wipes that only hit big creatures

but why

In that case, Fell the Mighty, Hour of Reckoning if its a token deck, Retribution of the Meek thats all i can think of off the top of my head but im sure theres a few more. Id also recommend cards like Faiths Reward and Cosmic Intervention to turn any boardwipe into a one sided boardwipe
>>
>>93129858
>Fell the Mighty
perfect. to avoid board wipes, I currently run just two cards to protect everything. a few other single target protectors. I usually just need to protect a single lethal haste fatty. the deck is really all over the place.

Does my dude need to be an eldrazi to use this?
>>
>>93131396
No. Tribal (or kindred now) just means that a non-creature card has a creature type. Meaning that any effect that cares about said creature type, unless it specifies creatures, also cares about the card in question. IE if you had a card that let you tutor for an eldrazi card, you could fetch this.

My buddy hasn't played since Legends but wants to learn Commander with us and shake off the rust.
Recommended precons for him? He's basically starting from scratch.

I was thinking Party Time. I hear if you use the secondary commander, it's pretty simple but rewarding for basic plays.
>>
>>93132567
Party time sucks sadly. I say lathril
>>
every way to win at magic is based, you're a pussy if you think otherwise.
>>
>>93132567
Mishra and Urza
Warhammer necrons
Riders of Rohan
Lathril, blade of the elves
Either Eldrazi ones

I've found these ones able to content in the 4forall format that is EDH, and have very strong chances of winning all by themselves. My only suggest is just swapping out some of the obviously bad stuff like Temple of the False God and other such stuff on that level.
Ending up on the bad chance that your buddy pulls them in his first game in 20+ years will certain put a sour taste on his first 2+ hour game. But try not to change anything else.
