Can I get some advice? I'm trying to brew a deck for Gev here. Obviously, Lizard tribal is a goal. I also remembered that Mercenaries are Outlaws, and that there are a lot of other Lizards that are Outlaws in Bloomburrow, so I can play Outlaw support.

My problem is that a lot of Lizard cards aren't very powerful in terms of their stats, so they'll lack staying power and the ability to remove threats from the board themselves. I figure that being able to put Lizards from my graveyard back into my hand is a good way to re-feed Gev on top of this, but I'm still not sure how to best go about threat management.

NTA, but due to the general power level increase of the game even my most casual friends are running commanders with a lot more board impact and resource generation behind them. I'd love it with the format was slowed down enough that a blue Nightmare with an upside would be considered fine, but it's not 2011 anymore.

Pretty sure the argument is always the same, let me summarize:

>>93424882
Skullbriar is very resilient because of his low converted mana cost. The big things you need to do is
1. get in fast (elvish spirit guide, lotus petal, chrome mox) or have a turn-one play (hardened scales goes crazy)
2. run lots of cheap, fast, or repeatable recursion so he's always back and swinging (unearth, reanimate, cthonian nightmare)
3. be prepared for corner-case gameplan killers like imprisoned in the moon, having your commander turned face-down, or being given -1/-1 counters early which will make him unusable (crop rotation for high market, phyrexian tower, lazotep quarry so you can sacrifice him in response)

>>93425028
To be fair I play a lot of edh in a lot of metas all over the US, perks of traveling for work. The average powerlevel is not very high, certainly not high enough to out and out say fish bad.
I mean shit I lost to an elemental tribal kresh deck the other day. First off sick as shit deck second it was technically "bad" but far from unplayable.
>>
It appears my superiority has led to some controversy
>>
>>93425095
I mean playing this instead of Regisaur Alpha/Temple Altisaur/Wrathful Raptors on Turn 5 is a choice
Also just a bit redundant because it's 1 more mana for Thrashing Brontodon which does the same thing it just doesn't have haste
Have you play tested it in your deck to see if it's consistent?

>>93425095

>>
>>93425111
Hell yeah. I've got a few effects like Gishath's trigger (check/draw the top cards of your library, put a creature onto the battlefield) so there's the potential to be able to dig for him in an emergency too. I've also got one creature tutor.
Five mana for a 3/4, even with haste, hurts my soul though.

>>93425135
I don't have a temple altisaur or wrathful raptors (not running an enrage deck so they're nice to have but only okay) but I do have a thrashing brontodon to do a similar thing.
Truthfully I don't think I've ever sacrificed the bronto to blow up an artifact though.

>>93425155
I also have (well, plan to get) those guys. They seem really useful.

-Helm of the Host
-Battlefield Forge
-Clifftop Retreat
-Path of Ancestry
-Rugged Prairie

Animated Army is more maindeck value for Boros, Family Matters is more mana base value for Boros
Just depends on what you're missing
But if I were you I would take Animated Army the Boros manabase is pretty cheap to buy off the marketplace, it's like $5 for everything if you shop correctly

Seems like he'd be solid in a merfolk deck, where a lot of your creatures have islandwalk and there's multiple cards like Lord of Atlantis that give all your merfolk islandwalk. Put one counter on an opponent's land and now all your creatures are unblockable against him.
Sure, Harbinger of Tides is better for the job as long as opponents don't only play basics, but it's good to have more than one way to accomplish a goal so you aren't relying on drawing one card out of 99.

Bargo or Yorion for a blink deck?
>>
>>93425726
dont really care, my first few decks were all proxies
>>
>>93425723
100% the latter. The Magic zoomer fears me. At EDH night, I frequently have to refuse when offered a playmat. People try handing me WotC-approved tokens when I use dice to represent things. All of my reserved list staples like Wheel of Fortune and Earthcraft are dirty and frayed with age.
>>
>>93425726
Yeah, I don't hate proxies, I hate the decks they proxy
If you're proxying the new MH3 Ajani and Ocelot Pride for your Cat Tribal I could care less, but a full proxy Mox set and Gaea's Cradle? Nah. I'm not playing with you unless I also get to proxy a full power deck too.
>>
>>93425648
shieet, I really wanted that Elspeth card...
>I'm guessing you're on a budget because otherwise you'd buy both, but yeah, buy the Raccoon deck and tear it apart to upgrade it into Boros
I tried to avoid frugal ovespending but I'm also blowing my load on the whole booster box so I guess I could get 2 commander decks as well.
>>
so what happened in this rules update
>>
>>93425813
you get to fuck a mouse
>>
>>93425800
I mean yeah Sun Titan and Path to Exile are also Boros staples in the Family Matters but it's kinda insane you don't have, like, ANYTHING, in red and white that's mandatory
In the end it's really up to you since it's your money and I can't force you to buy a deck you don't want but I'm just giving you my opinion on which staples I would prioritize. I doubt the Jeskai deck will sell out faster than the Gruul one unless Pollywog Prodigy just spikes to like $40 or something crazy but again that's just me. Have fun and good luck on your pulls Wojekbro

Use tokens anon. It makes the game a better experience for everyone. Don't try to lump tokens in with unnecessarily shiny cards and secondary products not needed

was this update purely for neheb? because I straight up do not give a fuck, if you're doing multiple combats you better just win on the spot

How the fuck do you keep track of your board state without tokens when it's a fucking generic dice it really sounds like you can easily just go "Nuh uh!" and cheat people when they cast a "Destroy all creatures of X type"

I use Yorion. Guaranteed value and you can do things like tucking your whole board under the Bird Serpent in response to a wrath. Can also chain Flickerwisp effects to cycle your board every other player turn.

Brago has more combo potential but also needs to connect. If your pods are interaction and blocker light he's got a chance of reaching his ceiling but IMO it's better to just take a sure thing.

It's a three card combo (still requires a free sac outlet), has no other synergy outside that context, and isn't particularly interesting to win with. I'm not opposed to having an I Win button but something like Craterhoof at least has to respect the existing game state.
Also they're very clearly trying to do a janky tribal deck, this isn't cutthroat chasing of win percentage. Otherwise the advice would be "there are better Rakdos decks" or "there are better decks"

It's literally no different, and it's absolutely not "better" than a combo that is entirely in synch with your Commander. If you aren't playing your wincons to your Commander's strengths, why are you even playing the Commander in the first place?

I build more decks and shitpost here, mostly.

Not when your wincon boils down to, "Turn creatures sideways to win " which literally every single deck in existence has the capacity to do. EDH players are so ass backwards over their idea of fun. If your wincons has little to do with the Commanser itself, it begs the question why you even bother with the format when you may as well just play any other format where turning dudes sideways is the main gameplan for most decks.

Infinite Persist triggers with a free sac outlet. The Recap does the damage, the Commander resets the Persist -1/-1 counter, and the free sac outlet let's you repeat it infinite times.

+1/+1 and -1/-1 counters cancel each other out. If you have a sac outlet and Gev in play; Redcap comes in and plunks someone for 2 with the ETB. Sac Redcap. It persists, coming back with a -1/-1 counter. Gev has Redcap enter with a +1/+1 counter because an opponent has lost life this turn, so it enters with no counters on it. Plunk someone for 2 with the ETB. Repeat until the table is dead.

So in a format where you have 100 cards in a deck, you'd rather have two cards that win you the game every time regardless of what's happening and a dozen tutors to make sure you always have them, than 100 cards that all work together towards a common synergistic goal throughout the course of a game?

Redcap synergizes with his Commander better than anything else he has in that decklist, and that's completely ignoring the lack of a sac outlet to make it go infinite. I can tell you're new to the game if you sincerely think mechanics aren't synergy.

>>93427347
>Aggro has always been the best way to play magic
No. Combat math is tedious and boring, and aggro decks are trying to cheese wins in the early turn with very little removal or interaction. I know you actually mean midrange based on what you're describing and that's even worse; just value piles and generic overtuned cards with no thought required. Hard control isnt much better because it's just card advantage math, but tempo decks and combo decks are where you critically engage with the mechanics of the game in the most stimulating way. When you break it down, every deck is just a tempo deck or a combo deck. Summoning your stupid boys is either a combo that takes multiple turns for a big climactic turn, or a tempo strategy where you try to "stun" your opponent long enough to grind out the game, and I'd much rather play a strong combo deck than a weak or boring one.

infinite combos are gay

Eluge is bad for like 10 reasons and we can tell you're stupid by the generalization and lack of understand as to why.
>>
infinite combos are based
>>
>>93427457
>Admits the combo is only 2 cards
Yes. Being able to pull a win out of your ass because you have two cards that just automatically win you the game no matter how shittily you've been playing is gay. Having an entire strategy built around pulling the instant win cards out of your ass every game is technically a strategy, but it is obscenely gay.

If you're playing an actual deck and just happen to have an infinite in there that you draw into once in a while, that's arguably better, but still really gay if you're losing and just topdeck the automatic win cards.

>>93427480
This is genuinely retarded. There is no interaction with infinite combos. It's only midrange decks that actually engage with the mechanics.
>but tutoring is a mechanic and you need to know which two cards go infinite so that's strategic
You are a retard.

>>93427488
>Uhm, acksually if you blow up all of this deck's lands, they ALSO lose their commander so it's unplayable garbage

If you're doing tournaments or something, do infinite combos. It's boring but effective if you're just trying to get prizes or whatever.
If you're actually playing the game with people, just ask if they want to do things cutthroat or if they want to play the game out properly.

>Redcap deals damage on ETB, which results in life loss
>Gev checks for Life Loss and applies benefits to cards that ETB for it
Check

>Persist means that if the creature would die, it reenters the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter, which means the Murderous Redcap would enter with a +1/+1 counter and cancel out the -1/-1, meaning it could reactivate Persist again, further expanding Gev's counter generation for turn
Check

Literally the largest chunk of text is directly tied to Gev's most impactful ability. You don't even need to go infinite to turn this into an engine. Redcap now because an extremely easy to activate Deadly Dispute target that doesn't actually cost you any resources to sac and furthers your ganeplan for Gev.

You're actually fucking retarded if you don't think Redcap is an autoinclude for the deck that opens a shitload of synergy.

You should probably play a format that doesn't warp it's rules 100% in the favor of combos then.

You engage with the combo before it's assembled, like exodia. Trying to solve it afterwards is just low skill and dumb.

>>93427501
Yes. Or the fact that you have to swing to get an additional counter and it has no protection. Or that you can never get a greater discount than the number of lands you control. Or that the flood counters do nothing outside of the discount. Really, I could go on, but this has already been proven.

The fun is in how you get enough dudes turned sideways through other people's dudes, while stopping their dudes from doing enough to you. Interaction, buildup, and politicking are where the gameplay is. Racing who can tutor their I-win combo first is not my idea of fun.

Doesn't work well within the 100-card singleton format because you can't get the kind of consistency you get in 60 card formats. Especially if more than one opponent is playing combo. On top of each player having double normal starting life, giving combo players more time to assemble their pieces.

The traditional EDH way to handle this is politicking, where the players not playing combo all decide to team up on the combo player.
>>
>>93427939
What was her commander?
>>
>>93428076
No, it doesn't work well, because like every other single issue the plagues EDH, 40 starting life is fucking retarded. Tossing a piece of removal to throw off a player for two turns should be enough to end someone if you have a couple midrange creatures on board, but people get to just eat the hits and continue on like nothing happened for absolutely no reason.

>>93428500
The reason is largely that it's just easy to get there. It's a safe 'first plane' for people going through Omenpaths to get through because Omenpaths leading to and from it are unusually stable and numerous.
There's not many specific reasons as to why most characters are there (Oko's gang was all there because they were hired specifically, sans Kellan who went there to find Oko, and Annie who was there to get away from her old life, Gonti's apparently managed to weasel into having an official Kaladeshi government position and is using that to establish a power-base off of Kaladesh, Olivia's literally just on a vacation, but that's basically it because we didn't get a Legends Of article), but you can infer reasons in the general categories of "power grab", "making connections" and "wanderlust" for most.

That all said, I'm still not a fan of the execution, because there was never a really clear central 'reason' for people being there (the Vault was there, but that was only Oko's crew's goal and Akul', nobody else cared), so it just felt like people were there just to be there.

You've just learned that other planes are real, that you're the smallest fish in an incredibly large pond, and that most planes have extremely weird or hostile magic that is leeching out through the omenpaths and will absolutely murder the unprepared.

Yeah, I can buy the refugee-types coming from recently-ravaged planes that're still recovering from the invasion, that's all acceptable. A lot of the villain types are just there because it's the 'villain set'. Marchesa is really the one that most people are hung up about, but Marchesa making a power grab on a new plane is entirely within reason.

The mid-design pivot from being a villain set to needing another identity definitely strained the lore and the setting, but it's also not uncommon for characters with access to multiple planes to murderhobo their way around trying to find power for power's sake. I won't pretend it was well-handled, but I certainly liked it more than MKM

If I had to speculate and give the writers more credit than they're due, he's keeping his head down looking for a way to reclaim his spark again. It's not the first time he's been planar locked and someone who has been around the block as much as him likely stashed a contingency somewhere.

He's also in the top three for "dumb enough to try and temporal reset Tarkir again"

>>
>>93428784
MKM's setting is frankly irrelevant to its execution. It didn't know what kind of murder mystery genre it was doing. It didn't know if it was a great detective mystery story, or a police procedural, or Scooby-Doo, or a classic whodunnit, or what. And it didn't commit hard enough to any of them, so it just had a lot of confusing pulls in different directions. Mystery's not like gothic horror where you can slam all of it together and it'll still all gel well.

We'll see what the fuck goes down when we do return to Tarkir, but they clearly know that people liked Khans over Dragons (broadly), and they want to push things back somewhat to Khans. It might be time travel nonsense that does that, might be just progression of the present (Silumgar is NOT surviving), etc.
