If the RC had the balls to do this, the format would become instantly 100x more enjoyable overnight. Competitive grinders would have to use their brains, and cumbrained casuals wouldn't get stomped as hard without all the degenerate enablers. I'm not saying this would fix every problem, but god damn it sure would fix a lot of them.

You may think Thoracle is the problem, but that's just the big, flashy finisher. The root cause will remain there. It's time to ban island. No card has ever been more pushed than Island to the point of warping the game.

I don't like tutors and I tend to cascade into Battle of Ikoria, but it is pretty useful in hand when I have the mana to pull Etali or Gishath out with it.

See the Unwritten is cool and it is something I can cascade into, not often but it can happen.
Plus in most cases I think I'd get two creatures, and that's baller.

>>93240764
Shoes protect against meteors. Alternately just kill the damn thing that's causing the problem, it's only got 3 toughness
>>
>>93240570
it was the velociraptor precon i swapped out some cards for the calendar and some protection, which honestly made the deck worse overall probably, never even got pantlaza out
>>
>>93240854
Next turn they tap their meteors to pay the commander tax and bring her back out, killing your commander in the process.
>>
>>93240764
It's funny because she's like golos where her practical commander tax is ONE
>>
>>93240772
So if I use this on an artifact its effectively safe from all non-land clears/removals?
>>
>>93240764
I kill it once or twice and then you never play it again because it now costs 9 mana
>>
>>93240887
I tap 4 meteors and the same five lands I used to cast her the first time.
>>
>>93239221

when you cascade into x spells isnt x automatically 0?
>>
>>93241066
yes
>>
>>93240486
>>93241099
then how would invasion of ikoria even work with cascade? he wouldnt be able to tutor anything no?
>>
>>93241115
He's saying that he ends up tutoring into it sometimes, which is a bad thing, but that he uses it otherwise pretty comfortably. basically, you'd be able to search up a 0 cost creature like Ornithopter and then it behaves as per normal.
>>
>>93241115
As >>93241066 said, cascading into X spells has them have an X cost of 0, and their CMC is treated accordingly, so Invasion of Ikoria can trigger off a 3 CMC cascade spell. It's why Apex devastator shouldn't be in a hydra deck
Extra notes on cascade are that you can't pay any alternative costs, you may pay additional costs, and must pay any mandatory additional costs.

What is the difference between stax and hatebears?
>>
>>93241716
Stax is land-pass until they have a wincon.
Hatebears wins through combat damage at the cost of being more prone to removal. It's like soft-stax.
>>
>>93241713

>>
>>93241710
shut up, yugioh player.
>>
>>93241716
Hate bears are 2/2 creatures with an ability that impedes your opponents like grand abolisher
Stax is any effect that prevents your opponents from being able to play the game
>>
>>93239838
there is a guy at my table that literally does this he tries to play nice with people and then instantly fucking betrays them
nowadays I just use sadistic sacrament on him every game
>>
>>93241716
Hatebears are creatures that usually have more specific effects (things like non-basic lands are mountains), whereas stax is generic forced discard, sacrifice, etc in the form of artifacts.
Compare Grand Abolisher to Smokestack.

Question:
Does Affinity affect Squad costs? I know it's similar to kicker, but I'm curious. For example, I have Mycosynth Golem out and control 9 other artifacts, totaling 10 on the field. If I want to cast Sicarian Infiltrator, will the repeated generic squad costs be reduced so I can get 5 squads for free? I feel like this wouldn't work in my mind, but I'm curious.

>t. never known the joy of shitting out a t0 win with a bullshit turbo deck because you got a good hand
>>
>>93241759
squad is an additional cost so yes, you can pay it with cost reductions
basically the steps of casting a spell are declaring you are casting it, determining its total cost [additional costs, taxes, and cost reductions] then paying that mana out
so you would cast infiltrator, squad cost 10, making the total cost 12U, then reduce that by your current affinity for artifacts, 10, leaving you with 2U to pay

yeah, and what’s even cooler is that you can just pay 2 even after you’ve gotten all 5 cards back just to skip a draw and do nothing

Its a replacement effect for draws, so as many draws as you can get in one turn. You would need to pay 10 and also draw 5 cards in order to grab the 5 cards underneath the tome.

I am going for multiple triggers off chiss-goria with these cards, but does the fact that the next combat phase happens with no main phase then mean sword of feast and famine can't be abused to cast artifact spells with the untapped lands
>>
>>93242705
Correct. Chiss-Goria doesn't change when you can cast the artifacts, so it needs to be during your main phase when the stack is empty. Also, as a legendary creature, you can't have it and the token in play at the same time without something like Mirror Gallery. It's also not clear how you're attaching the sword to each new copy.

Also also, because Breathe of Fury requires to be attached to a new creature as part of the same ability that untaps your creatures, you'll need to get a little fancy with tapping the original Chiss-Goria for a second copy while the copy is in play, so that the Breath of Fury can enchant the new copy and untaps Chiss-Goria for the NEXT loop. It doesn't work cleanly.

The trouble with that is it's more of a cute design puzzle than anything that's actually interesting to play with. Lemme mock one up.

Scritz, Firevenom Prelate WURG
Legendary Creature - Snake Cleric
Creatures you control have deathtouch and lifelink.

Whenever a token enters the battlefield under your control, you may have it fight target creature an opponent controls. If you do, it gains indestructible and haste until end of turn. Sacrifice that creature at the beginning of the next end step.

2/4

Sure, now all your tokens are kill spells as well as a bit of life gain, but it doesn't actually give you any build direction. Just a bunch of fiddly moving parts. Play Shirei like a normal person.
>>
>>93242705
You could use Shimmer Myr or Liberator, Urza's Battlethopter to cast their artifacts at instant speed.
>>
>>93242940
That sounds cool and more interesting than a good chunk of modern leggo cards tho
But I was mainly thinking of ways to do 4C cards which seems to be an underrepresented archetype
>>
>>93241151
If there were counters on said artifact, do they go away when it gets the aura and maintains the amount when said aura is removed?
>>
>>93242965
Yeah I'll admit I kinda shat that one out but once it existed I'm more interested in building it than the three decks I have in pieces on my table. Overall the issue with 4C is still one of boundaries though; the classic "it's defined more by the color it isn't" but also it needs that bit of "why isn't this 5C". It's one of the few areas I think partners actually covered well, because instead of being two 2C colors awkwardly stapled together, it's just literally two different 2C cards.

I'm really torn because i want to build Leonardo da Vinci (He's both a cool card and one of my favorite historical figures of all time), but at the same time his deck is just going to be so similar to my already existing Chiss-Goria deck.

Got bored of working on Ognis since I have a jund deck and a treasure deck already, decided to make to go looking through cards for something old to "Inspire" a deck idea, and I found Mana Vortex. Instantly thought about how I have no place for all of my multi-land play cards and land recursion stuff outside of Hazezon but I'm not that dedicated to making Hazezon right now. Settled on Aesi for bonus land drops in the command zone and several cards to let me play lands from my graveyard.

Last time I played against a Tergrid deck he cast a spell that made everybody discard their hand immediately after casting Tergrid and gained control of 14 permanents by turn 6 and was in a position where nobody else was really able to catch up.

Dark Deal is only 3 mana and Tergrid is only 5
>>
>>93244426
Casting Tergrid by t5 isn't particularly hard, assuming you don't miss land drops or draw some manarocks. And there's a bunch of cards that make everybody discard their hand that don't have a particularly high mana cost.
>>
>>93244426
He cast tergrid t5 and then a spell the next turn. That is literally slow for tergrid lol. Why do bad players give stupid opinions!!!!
>>
>>93244450
>He cast Tergrid turn 5 and a spell the next turn
So in 5 entire rotations rotations, 3 other players, fully aware of the Stupid Bullshit that Tergrid is capable, didn't hold up a single piece of spot removal or counter magic?
And youre calling other people bad?
Fuck off retard. Run some fucking spot removal.
>>
>>93244365
Who powercrept her? She is still powerful. It's the same with Zur, it's the same with Korvold. If anyone is powercrept, it's Golos, but he is banned. In the end it doesn't matter if they'll ban a commander because it will drown in the flood of new legendaries in about 2-3 months.
>>
>>93244501
Sometimes you just don't draw removal. Also I was playing mono-red group-slug so no counterspells and not much traditional removal besides artifact hate (it's mostly various deal damage to each player and each creature effects, but those need either a lot of mana to pay X costs or a lot of damage doubler effects), another player had a dinosaur tribal deck that also had no blue and is very strong in the late game but needs time to ramp up to start casting high mana cost creatures. I don't remember what the last guy was playing, but I don't think it had blue either.

You don’t need to justify yourself to retards. This board has a contingent of anons who absolutely cannot grasp that you sometimes don’t draw the card you need.

>This board has a contingent of anons who absolutely cannot grasp that you sometimes don’t draw the card you need.
And you cannot grasp how absolutely terrible people in this format are at deckbuilding and threat assessment.
At 5 rotations the Tergrid player should be the prime target for just about everything. Spot removal, counterspells, and any combat based board pressure. It should all be pointed at her.
Youre right, sometimes you just dont have it. Thats fine. Thats bad beats.
But too many people in this format dont interact with a problem (or even make an effort to do so) and then cry about it.
Full disclosure, I fucking hate Tergrid myself, but if someone brings that to a table, all other players should actively kicking their teeth in and teach the Tergrid player theres a price to playing such a commander.

Comes around to retards like this >>93244362 claiming that commanders like Tergrid or Narset are powercrept. No, the exact same approach is applied to them, just like if someone is playing Nadu.
>>
>>93244608
The difference is that Nadu, even in a casual deck can easily come out on turn 2 with a dork or land enchantment and then be off to the races.
Turn 2 is a MASSIVE difference between the ~Turn 5 something like Tergrid or Narset takes.
>>
>>93244581
nta but i have a playgroup and after a few years of playing we cultivated an enjoyable meta for our games.
the occasional Tegrid-like, high powered Commander-deck still pops up, but like you said, those decks get targeted hard.
Problem arises if the "Tergrid" player plays the fiddle and gets salty himself, for no one letting him play his own salt inducing/way stronger strategy. We have some players that rotate with our regulars, who play in otherwise way stronger metas, that unironically get salty because their commander got removed instead of it winning turn 4. These bad sport types ruin it for everyone, in general.

that and bad threat assessment of course, nothing makes me want to flip the table more than this shit
>>
>>93244619
The first lesson I teach to players new to the format is to not play high-power commanders if they can't handle the reputation that comes with them.
Oh you wanna play Urza/Atraxa/etc?
Fine, but don't cry about it after we warned you you're going to get focused. And if they cant handle that, they shouldn't play it.
I have that problem alot with a local Krenko player. Dude acts like he isnt playing a commander that can win by sneezing.
>>
>>93244643
Got this stupid flip at the lgs who only plays Magda, Krenko and Purphuros and whines when he gets hated out every game. Then of course when you don't hate on them for a single turn they suddenly win the game. Absolute worst part is he always has to think about what he's gunna do despite doing the same thing every game with very straightforward netdecks

Yeah, and Tergrid players are allowed to pop off no different than anyone else. RG Etali is FAR more powerful and absurd than Tergrid could ever dream of being, since it gets to steal your shit immediately on ETB, can be abused with flicker/reanimate effects, and has a "remove target player" backside all on a single card.
>>
>>93244608
Nadu is about 3 tiers more fucked up than either Tergrid or Narset could ever hope to be. Attempting to hit the thing with removal actively GIVES the Nadu player a free card and/or ramp as soon as t2.

The guy crying about Tergrid literally admitted it was dropped on turn 5 with no followup until an entire turn rotation, meaning no one interacted with it and just stared at it.
Its like when I played Neheb, told the table to their face if they dont get rid of it in a rotation the game will end.
Surprise, they were all shitters, did absolutely nothing to stop me, the proceeded to call me a cEDH pubstomper.

Black is more consistent, but Green has much higher highs despite having lower lows.

No. 2d6 is more consistent at hitting the middle bellcurve; 7,8,9, but has a much lower chance of hitting low (2/3) but on tbe inverse has a very hard time of hitting an 11 or 12, both of which only have a 1/36.
Compare that to a d12 where every outcome is 1/12.
2d6 = I like consistency
1d12 = I like to gamble.

I tend to preorder precons in colors I like on Amazon then cancel if the spoiled decklist sucks before it comes out. At the same time, you could buy singles or go to an LGS for the most recent precons (except MH3, people sold out on that shit fast as fuck other than the Jund one in my area)

Just build a better deck. Drawing cards you don't need is a sign that you're including bad cards in your deck. If you build a deck that's only got good cards, that doesn't happen.

>>93245156
Yeah. Instead of doing a foil backup commander like the precons normally do, Bloomburrow is doing a foil fursona for an old planeswalker. A foilsona, as they say.

Different anon, but that's how I have it built. I know a lot of people have him built as some sort of spell-slinger payoff, but mine is more about punishing my opponents for playing the game with effects like manabarbs, burning earth, and aether sting while stacking as much equipment on him for protection and increased power as possible.

Unless you run 60 counter spells there’s no statistical guarantee you would draw a counter spell, only an increased likelihood. Luck exists, you can’t always have it.

i dont set a specific budget but im generally happy with the power level at between 1-200 dollars most of the time
maybe 3-400 with multicolor decks just because lands expand prices needlessly

>>93247251
I try to stay under I'd say 300? Including the actual price of the proxy if I proxy things

>>93247236
both, though I don't think "I'm going to make a budget deck" I just think "I don't want to spend more than $30 for this dumb meme deck I thought of"
>>
>>93247222
multiple people in your pod are playing second sun? Again, whoever is threatening a win should be the instant target of attacks, and if Second Sun is THAT centralizing your playgroup needs an aggro deck.
>>
>>93247270
well, I've tried but people are keen to remove all creatures pretty often. I was thinking more effects that fuck with the deck maybe. like those lands that destroy non-basics and force a search or chaos warp and what have you

the problem with most of them is that they say MAY like many many other nonbasic hate
>>
>>93247325
You are undervaluing the 0 mana activation on Ghost Quarter. Generally the problem land your opponent has was effectively "free". Coffers, etc, they just do extra stuff and didn't cost your opponent more mana to field. ANY answer to that which costs mana is putting you behind. I get that Field of Ruin etc soften the blow for you, but they interrupt my gameplan by costing mana. The job is "kill land" and Ghost Quarter does it for free. And in a pinch you CAN blow up your own land if you're color screwed, but that's obviously not plan A.

Excellent point, didn't see that. Bad use case here.

I impose a budget in that I refuse to spend money one "weaker" cards because I already own the "better" ones.
I've been playing MTG for a couple of decades, and enjoyed collecting old cards. I just want to use my collection, it's not like a dual land will net me a win because it costs the same as your deck...

It's been said before, but Commander's version of aggro is combo, its control is interaction, and its midrange is value over time. Interaction beats combo, combo beats value over time, and value over time beats interaction. Any color combo that can't access every archetype is missing a piece of the game; Magic wasn't originally designed to be played this way

If they wanted to actually do something interesting with Spellslinger, they'd make something that scales based on the CMC of the spell you are casting, instead of once again catering to super low to the ground cantrip shit with an X spell payoff. Something like like pic related is a perfect example of what I mean.
