>>93802429Spoilers look good
lol
Is anyone excited for the inevitable Freddy Fazbear reference?
>>93802458I doubt there will be one
>>93802429I'm just happy there are a couple eternal playable cards. The last set was such a bummer.
>>93802458HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR
rocco deck for friend's casual table, playing it since a year now with constant adjustments:https://www.moxfield.com/decks/w5FE8fm5xEOInZAxa4mQvgwins with unblockable/trample fatties, fling and chandra's ignition (need more fling tho), as well as some token side strategies, which are slow and meh. any fatties (besides tutors, it already cleans the tables and I like to get surprised) I can add to the deck so it would be viable to put more fling spells in?
>>93802429I'm enjoying a lot of the spoilers, the alt frame blows but what can you doand I've quite enjoyed some of the precons, but I much prefer to use stuff I build myself, even if it is jank
I like the alt frame
I need ideas for a room commander just in case they don't print a room commander
>>93802429The card names in this game have gotten so fucking dumb.
>>93802545not knowing what colors are best for running rooms, and despite only half her ability mattering, Go-Shintai might not be bad
This thing is absolutely unsightly compared to Phyrexian Obliterator. It's the one parallel they failed on.
>>93802545roon
I do not like the design of rooms at all, feels like yet another one that they never would have done 10 years ago because of memory problems in paper, but said fuck it becuse their target audience is playing arena.
>>93802545Something that can tap enchantments, just to confuse and annoy anyone who looks at your board.
>>93802561The red one is worse
>>93802561I've just noticed how it looks like he's standing outside a football stand
>>93802585That goes without saying because it's Alchemyshit
So we've seen all of two Beasties so far, but they both have "can't attack or block unless..."I hope this isn't going to be their niche, that's going to suck hard for limited if there's a whole host of cards like that
>>93802614Looks like it bub
>>93802614You'll probably pick the one that fits your archetype, not beastie tribal.
>>93802658this>>93802614Probably gonna throw this into Coram as a free self-mill every turn. by the time it's able to attack, I probably won't care about using it for anything other than a cheap meat wall
oof
>>93802658I have no hopes of beastie or even beast tribal, I'm just worried about a pod where everyone is trying to figure out how to keep these from being dead draws
Post the tribe you think deserves a Commander and more support in either a precon or another set

>>93802692Weasel/Rat/Werewolf/Dog precon
>>93802720>werewolvesI was trying to think of a tribe and this never occurred to me and is indeed the right answerand the commander needs to be able to control day night cycles so we don't have to deal with the awful shit from the last innistrad
Is it a mistake for a set to be built around Delirium, but have no kind of piƱata land?
>>93802736You just have to mill
>>93802729Tovolar's a total G but we need activated abilities that transform things in my opinion
>>93802729What if we don't give werewolves support ever again instead so we don't have to watch some dope in the pod flip around all of his cards every turn cycle?
>>93802429>tqBoth RG Overlords are fantastic Bello pieces. Ramp, removal, can function without Bello.
>>93802736Not when there are tons of enchantment creatures running around, it's not as necessary.
>>93802692I'd like a Jund Kavu commander designed around combat/recursion. Or if I could really have my wish, I'd want it to be Dune-Brood colors so you can have a mix of Jund and Naya for said beastly focus.>>93802729>>93802720lol lmao evenbut also werewolves where you can control the flow of day/night better or just have a way to control the flipping would be awesomeGood choice
>>93796040i'm still allowing rolls in this thread

>>93802873>t.
cheezus
>>93802429>TQ>PreconsI assume that's aimed at the anon who asked last thread? Here's the starter guide I give everyone:>1 Legendary CreaturePick literally anything you like. If you're new or on a budget, I would pick something monocolored.>35 LandsYou need mana to cast spells, and 35 gets you enough to draw an average of 3 across your first 9 cards. If you have a "Lands matter" deck, the extra lands will come out of your 34 "anything" cards. If you're running 2+ colors, make sure at LEAST half of them come into play untapped.>10 Removal SpellsIf you can't interact with the table, your opponents are free to do anything they want. There are a lot of cards that count as "Removal", including counterspells, kill spells, and graveyard hate. You need to do it cheaply (3 mana or less) so you can afford to do your own stuff and at instant speed so you can react to threats.>Mana FixingYou need mana to cast spells, and this will supplement your lands by fixing colors and ramping you ahead of the curve. The color fixing is less important in 1 color decks, but the value of having 4 mana on turn 3 cannot be overstated. It might be a mana rock, a land aura, a mana dork, or spell that puts lands into play from your library, but it needs to cost 2 or less.>10 Draw SpellsLike Removal, the definition of a "Draw Spell" is very loose and looks different depending on what color(s) you're running. Generally speaking, they need to increase the number of cards you have available or find something specific from your 34 "Anything" cards. No specific guidelines because of how loose this part is, but they shouldn't cost more than 4 unless it gets you a LOT of value.>34 Anything You WantI do mean ANYTHING. This is often the most fun part of the deck building because this is where all your combos, commander synergy cards, and pet cards go. There may be overlap between this section and the previous sections, but DO NOT go below 35/10/10/10 in order to have more of these cards.
>here's your dual land bro
>>93802898These are actually very good bud
>>93802898>doesn't enter tappedThese will be $5 a piece
>>93802898>unironically decent dual landTainted lands but without the part that sucks (outside of decks that need colorless for specific purposes like 5 color Eldrazi)

>>93802959Typal is derived from the word type, retard. Calling a single creature type a typal is a great way to prove you don't understand what it means.

>>93802692Specters, and I'm baffled there isn't a commander for them already.>They all share the same discard theme>They basically all have flying>They're primarily black with U and R for a potential Grixis commander>They've existed since alpha and players instantly understand what a specter does when someone plays oneDespite such a well defined identity as a creature type and looking sick as fuck they have never once received support as a tribe. There is such an easy layup for a cool specter tribal commander, just print a few new ones in a themed commander deck for them and you'd bring all the boys to the yard. Everyone wants these cool motherfuckers to actually be good but they just aren't without more support.
>someone at my table says typal
>>93803091you will take your one monoblack legendary specter and like it
>>93803091unironically good pick, anonspecters are practically everywhere in magic but never get any love whatsoever and discard is a great theme for them especially if you make them grixis and include making opponents Loot (draw and then discard) on hit like "Whenever a Specter you control deals combat damage to a player, that player draws a card and then discards a card" so it never is useless

Do people actually play Eldrazi decks, or are they an expensive meme?
>>93802692Give me Jund Ogres
>>93803294Nta but card draw and constant growing threatI don't really care if people say the ward is "useless", frankly the more people that underestimate him the better, I'll still be getting 3 cards per round in rakdos colors, not sol shabby if you ask me
>>93803318I always played eldrazi whenever Zendikar came around, honestly was the only way to have fun with BFZ
>>93803318It's a meme

Thirty (30) starting life is objectively superior to fourty (40)

>>93803167politely slit your own throat, friend.
Who did the red-based temp-copy archetype best?
>>93803511None of those are a tempo deck. But if I had to pick one, it'd be kikijiki.
>>93803334You're getting 3 cards if you do a lot of set up and nobody interacts.
>>93803511Obviously kiki. I wish the balloon man made 0/1 tokens that didn't sac themselves and couldn't block, and had "when a balloon you control dies he deals 2 damage to any target" or something. I hate the NOTkiki design.
>>93803596So you're not a fan of iterations on this archetype?>>93803563Apologies for the confusion, I meant temp as in temporary, not tempo
>>93803596I just hate his name. I bet the anons in this general could think of a better one.
>>93803629Not necessarily. I shouldn't have said it like that. When I look at them arranged like that, I see the nuance in their design and some are pretty unique. I guess I hate that my mind immediately files them into an iteration category. It feels lazy I guess, but then again that's what a lot of what magic is, iterating on itself so it's not all bad.

>>93802692Minotaurs
>>93804220The flavour being mostly good does make the few just completely incongruent ones feel even worse though. I don't even inherently mind the 80s-theming, but how does a random cheerleader make sense in a world that's long-forgotten what a fucking City even is? She's not even, like, a cheerleader that's dressed up like a survivor, she's JUST a cheerleader.

>>93804239She looks exactly like the monsters. Is this a didn't clean up base sketch idea or ai slop?
>>93804220The art is shit and we've only seen ten percent of the set so far and you're already declaring it better than all other sets this year? Come on man
>>93804250Also "creature lands"Pretty soon they'll stop saying colored
Why do I have this nagging feeling like they put something really retarded in the commander decks like a red creature with shadow?
>>93804220>wotc aren't going full retard on the 80s horror references like I assumed they would.Monsters Inc. and Casper the Friendly Ghost are my favorite 80s horror movies.
>>93804273They made a 1-mana Dockside Extortionist
>>93804252Like, make her obviously from Strixhaven or Kylem or something if you're gonna use that trope. Or just don't use the fucking trope, it's clearly not something that slots in nicely to how Duskmourn has been crafted. The current handwave is Omenpaths brought in some other shit, but that presumably means Valgavoth yanked people in who just so happened to fit the setting's pre-Ascension 80s aesthetic.
>>93804257Not my fault the other 3 standard sets set the bar so low>>93804288>praise wotc not making everything a one note 80s slasher reference like mkm did with murder mystery and otj did with westerns>anon mentions monsters Inc and Casper, having nothing to do with 80s horror movies references
>>93804344Maybe there are a bunch of 1980s planes out there and since they're all so similar it's easier for Vaginamoth to grab people from them. That would explain why everyone native to Duskmourn and all the people coming in from other planes are all dressed the same.
>>93804382At least wait until we have 100% spoilers to shill
Troma Secret Lair when.
>>93804382I legitimately do not understood how some anons don't seem to think otj wasn't crazy strong
>>93804382There are monsters inc and casper the friendly ghost inspired cards. We haven't seen it yet, but MaRo said there's a card named "Friendly Ghost". That's what I was referencing.
>>93804239Oh definitely, her and the jogger are fucking terrible. But I'd rather have a few really out of place cards than have every card be le wacky theme park land reference like karlov manor and otj
>>93802750This. Original werewolves sucked, the attempt to fix them was even worse. The concept just doesn't work.
>>93804387That's very mediocre as an explanation. They could've easily still had a Duskmourn-native cheerleader by just having the outfits and moves be something passed down that through the ages got warped into, like, a survivor group that thinks it's a fighting style. It's a bit hokey, but 80s horror is a bit hokey to begin with.
>>93804387Val has the same clothes magic that Dr Thunder used to manage his Junction.
>>93804400The jogger I can at least tolerate on his own because he could've died whenever. The cheerleader is just a fucking cheerleader with zero congruency. A lot of the survivors we've seen so far look weirdly too clean and out of place, in general. A few look good (Winter, Veteran Survivor, honestly I don't mind Toby's look either) but so many... It's weird how the natives look like they fit less in the plane than the actual outsiders.
>>93804393I didn't say otj wasn't strong, that was the only good thing about that set, the art direction and flavor were awful, and i say that despite liking cheesy westerns >>93804397Sorry I misunderstood anon , I didn't read all of the maro blog post hints
>>93804397>Monsters IncIt's fucking clearly Where The Wild Things Are.
>>93804418This shit just looks like a video game or a fortnite secret lair or something. There's no logical explanation for the cheerleader and there likely won't ever be
>>93804433Where dn is (your mouth)
>>93802795Horobi is a spicy pick for Mothman to turn mill into removal.
I desperately need a commander who embodies this cards vibe
>>93804486>Group Cut deckId play it
>>93804486Chud typal. Bigot artists only.
>>93804433Toby feels more Monsters Inc than Wild Things to me, but I could see it going either way. Beasties in general feel more Wild Things. Either way, not a horror setting, and not 80s. >>93804456Artists/writers forgot it was a "horror movie inspired plane" and just drew a horror movie character, that's probably all it is. That's how a lot of it feels.
Gay Bolas
>>93804486It's UB faggotry but it seems fitting
>>93804500>Either way, not a horror setting, and not 80s.Honestly I agree with this so much. I don't even dislike what I've seen before but it's not what they said it would be. The vibe I get is very much "goosebumps at home" with some Ghostbusters and other tropes sprinkled here and there.
>>93802942Hello! I might as well do this :>>Favorite deckTovolar! I have all my favorites laid out here (taking this photo at night time so you can't tell but there's only 6 nonfoils here)I just love him so so much, I use the Midnight Hunt bundle box as my main EDH deck box and the werewolf mini deck box for assorted Rares/Mythics as a goodstuff collection whenever I open packs>Most powerful deckProbably my Sliver Overlord deck, it has pretty much everything you need in a 5 color for manabase and draw power. It's a bit lean on boardwipes though.>Favorite CardBlightsteel Colossus! :)I like to go full autistic and roleplay my victory line, "You're a blight on this world, and my colossus is going to wipe you away, you mistake!">Top Three Videogames1)Pokemon White 22)Megaman Battle Network 63)Yugioh The Sacred Cards>Top 3 Books1)Cat Ninja2)Diary of a Wimpy Kid3)Investi-Gators>Favorite Spoopy MovieThe Thing (obviously)>Listening to Right NowAlternating between Artemas - I like the Way you Kiss Me and PunchDrunk - Bigger (loud)>Drink I don't drink so root beer float or orange soda probably (Hopefully the picture doesn't rotate)
I don't think it's fun to print value engines with inbuilt protection into Commander when we're not also seeing versatile removal options being printed in. I don't want more 8-mana bomb sorceries that win the game after wiping the board of creatures. I want a way to kill a single enchantment for less than 5 mana.
>>93804498>Chud typal. Bigot artists only.??? I don't have the context
>>93804540We can already remove any creature permanently for one mana, what more do you want? The issue with the game is that removal has been too powerful from the start.
>>93804550>The issue with the game is that removal has been too powerful from the start.Imagine being this fucking awful at the game.
I dont understand the controversy behind separating cEDH from regular EDH. I feel like it would solve a lot of the drama around the banlist being inconsistent and the RC's fear of expanding the banlist. It's clear that there are cards that once you see them on the table they(or you) will be enemy number one for the rest of the game and nobody likes that situation. Inconsistent power levels at the table is one of the biggest problems in the format and it's because the RC is stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to the banlist. Having a cEDH format means cEDH players can play their turn 3 wincons to their hearts content without ever being afraid of their key pieces being banned outside of the most egregious cards. Reading reddit it honestly just feels like cEDH players wont be able to smugly annihilate the table with their totally casual deck guys trust me its definitely like a 6 in power level.
>>93804582I'm better at the game than you
>>93804540They shouldn't be printing these retarded value engines at all. IT's the biggest problem with magic right now.
>>93804593There is no controversy
>>93804603Value engines are fine as long as they come with downsides. Bring back downsides.
>>93804603Actually it's that singles are the most cost efficient way to get Magic cards rather than sealed product and therefore anyone who does not have access to buying singles is at a severe disadvantage when the only option is to buy cards wholesale from a target or walmart
>>93804619No card should be an engine in and of itself. Two cards, sure, that can get you an engine. Three cards, you should be getting some excellent value and synergies at that point. Make them modular enough to be combined in different ways, and you're really onto something.But when something generates value automatically just because you're playing the game and taking all the game actions you otherwise would, and also gives you ways to cash in that value for yet more value or further iterations of those game actions? That's several steps too far.
Would you ever keep a hand that is all lands and mana rocks?
>>93804639>But when something generates value automatically just because you're playing the game and taking all the game actions you otherwise would, and also gives you ways to cash in that value for yet more value or further iterations of those game actions? That's several steps too far.So how do you feel about landfall?
>>93804593I don't really understand it either. EDH to me is comparable to Super Smash Bros, and the rules you'd expect when going to a Smash tournament are different than the rules you'd expect when going to go play in your buddy's living room or at a college lounge.
>>93804593The problem are retards who want to fuck with the banlist. The most fun part of edh is playing cards that are banned in other formats with fast mana, but casuals and comp fags alike want to be the fun police, and both ban philosophies defeat the purpose of the format.
>>93804660>Would you ever keep a hand that is all lands and mana rocks?That's my favorite kind of hand, actually. Also works out well in my Imskir deck.
>>93804660My Commander's CMC is never over 5 so no
>>93802855Good thing we got another reprint of a white card with a white person redone with a black person in its art, we nearly went 1 set without that happening
>>93804494>Group Cut deckYes! just a deck that lets everyone at the table ping each other back and forth
>>93804714When was the last set where a monowhite human was anything other than black-skinned?
>>93802891That's actually pretty good
>>93804614There absolutely is now that someone is deciding to create a new cEDH format and redditors are seething
Which of these three is the most based to build?
>>93804593no bro you dont understand my dockside loops are jank if i use the infinite mana to cast a weird commander
>>93804745
>>93804417To me clothes magic makes sense to me. After the omenpaths opened each worldsoul feels threatened by the blending of the planes so now each worldsoul imposes changes on visitors as they cross the omenpaths. Planes already do something similar like Segovia shrinking people and Bloomburrow animalizing people. Itās a bit goofy but it almost works.
>>93804775Xantcha, but you have to use art that doesn't makes her look hideous. I recommend Commander Masters because she got eratta after her first printing.
>>93804781NTA but I really don't buy it at all after reading the stories, it's clearly Stranger Things bait, the whole 80's horror vibe exists because WOTC is forcing it to in certain cards and the godawful trailer for the set. From the first story before Marina met Val>A modern-looking carriage pulled up in front of the house, conspicuous in its lack of draft animals to pull it. But also dude CRT's and cheerleaders from the 80's because ??????
>>93804824They probably had some UB planned for it that didn't pan out.
>>93804781The animalizing and shrinking is stupid, but if we're going to run with it we might as well say that every plane does this. Thunder Junction gave everybody cowboy hats and a Texas accent, Duskmourne gives everybody 80's outfits and keeps them surprisingly clean.
>>93804814It's just a clarification, not a real big errata. It's probably there because retards thought that it's an ETB trigger and tried to use it when it would be under it's owner's control.
>>93804839Yeah, the old way had her start in your control and move to an opponent's control as one effect so nobody got priority while you controlled her. The new wording is much better.
>>93804851No, it always worked like that and Xantha never entered the battlefield under your control. It's a replacement effect, much like Clone doesn't enter the field as a 0/0 blue creature which then transforms, it enters as the chosen creature.
What's the best vore-themed commander?I want to eat the opponent's creatures (or any permanents really)
>>93804775Since when is cadria trans?
>>93804937Ulalash the Hate Seed I think it's calledThough you probably want Oozes like the D&D Gelatinuous Cube so maybe something Jund
>>93804946One of the Devs/writers confirmed it on twitter
>>93804937Well, there IS the "eater of all"
>>93804969Gross. I guess it's coming out of my deck
>>93804250I noticed that actually. Inexplicably they all began to use "they" to refer to the card. I guess that was the new firmware update.
>>93804593The problem is cEDH psycho format and the large majority of the community playing it wants less bans, not more. Contrast with casual EDH which is long overdue to grab the toilet plunger and unclog the shitter by banning a few long overdue cards, because the instant they appear in a casual game its just fucked. The formats can't exist together and the sooner they make peace with that the better.
>>93804937Thromok, let us know what your record is
>>93804260Creature lands? Is this a replacement for "mana dork" or is it something else?
>>93805004They're talking about manlands
>>93805036Ah, instead of "man". I'm surprised they didn't go with "woman lands"

>>93805968Card types aren't lore.
>>93804582Not that poster but its a combo of removal being too good relative to creaturesOld creatures sucked dick, the only good ones were creature cards with effects that made them behave like spells, shit like Royal Assassin or NekrataalIts still the same too, the only creatures that really see play are creatures that have effects such that they behave like spells when they enter or can tap or sac at instant speed.

>>93804593I did a bit of reading on twitter about the split. Seems like the guys spearheading this have a pretty solid understanding of tournament cedh space. I can't imagine they are trying to redefine the feel of the format, they will probably just hit a couple problematic cards while leaving most untouched. People complaining seem to be doing so just for the sake of it.I for one would welcome the split with open arms but then I don't play cedh because I don't like all the hair colors it attracts.

>>93806444>Elaborate on your favorite booksHitchikers Guide (and the first two sequels) are some of the most hilarious books I ever read, to the point they are the only book I've ever read so much I had to buy new copies to replace themKingdom's of the Wall is a book best going into as blind as you can. Strange fantasy world split by a massive mountain range, every few years a large religious pilgrimage is held to go up this dangerous range, most years not a single pilgrim returns, and those that do are maddened. It's about the journey.The outsiders, I live in the city where the movie was filmed, and I first had to read the book in 5th grade for english class and I fell in love, first book to make little ole me cry, it's one I can finish in an afternoon
>>93806407I'd gladly lose to a kino cEDH deck like yours. >>93806361Do you use the Wishclaw Talisman for politics? Or do you retake/break it after activation?What's The Egyptian about and how does it compare to Brave New World and 1001 nights?
>>93806430funny that you ask, I actually bought one just a few weeks ago and replaced viscera seer with it, haven't just gotten around to update the deck photo yetIt does quite alright in cEDH. Obviously golgari lacks some interaction that blue has, and you're not most favored to win, but it's very feasible to simply wait for a good opportunity to try comboing off>>93806465wishclaw is there simply for tutoring stuff, you mostly use it to grab something that helps you win the game that turn before your opponents get to use ityou can think of the egyptian as a fictional biography about an ancient egyptian, it's a very good read and the author really did a good job maintaining historical accuracy. I can't really compare it to BNW or 1001 nights, they were just books that really stuck with me after reading them
>Duskmourn manifests the fears and horrors of its inhabitants>literally no card reference to the Phyrexians compleating and invading most planes>even Nashi whose mother was compleated and he actively fought didn't give enough of a shit to manifest thatYou'd think there would be a reference or something, did everyone canonically just get over it?
>>93802692Many of the Class types like Rebels, Warlocks, Nobles, Peasants, Samurais, Artificers, Citizens, Rangers, Scouts, Berserkers, or Detectives have lots of creatures and varying levels of support but lack a decent tribal Commander or don't have one at all. There's also Mercenaries and Warlocks, but at least they have Outlaws stuff.
>>93806430also regarding thoracle, you pretty much either have to cast/evoke endurance if they have cards in their GY or hope that your opponents have responses
>>93802692Mice, if only to give them a real commander option
>>93806460Kingdom of the walls goes onto the list. Thanks anon.>>93806447Yes, but... only if it helps you win.In a donate-deck, most of your cards are actively harmful, so this allows you to play around that by using decent cards insteadIn a storm deck, you get two cast triggers per cast spell. It doesn't replace your cast trigger.In reanimator or impulse draw decks, like Whisper, Haakon or Eruth, you've got other zones to draw spells from without casting them from your hand, so you can work around the Pool while disrupting opponents.I like Knowledge Pool. It fucks with combo decks, it fucks with players who have more money than me, and generally proves how more smarter I am than the other players.
>>93806513>did everyone canonically just get over it?Yes. "le ebil assimilating machines fuck up your comfiest settings" was a bad idea to begin with. It's a shame MtG fans have the intelligence of wrestling fans and WotC will probably do it again
>>93806517It is strange that MKM was all about Detectives, had many Detective support cards, and gave us several Legendary Detectives, but didn't gives us a Detective Commander that actually rewards you for playing Detectives.
>>93806444>Dark Souls 3>Berserk>Dakkon>Did you pick him for the vibes? If so, can we be friends?Yes, absolutely for the vibes. This art is for me what Magic should be all about, summed up - old school warrior with sword and shield fighting wizards and dragons. I know it's not a good commander and I try to make him as powerful as possible landfall, voltron, stax. If you share my passion we can absolutely be friends.
>>93806531Even if its a bad idea, it still happened. If I personally was writing a story involving a being manifesting fears within a few years of an assimilation multiversal invasion plot, "Fear of Compleation" would've been an immediate thought.Instead people are more scared of losing their teeth than the very real threat that everyone had to face a few years ago
>>93806532All the Detective Legends care about drawing cards and/or Clue tokens, and most Detectives also care about drawing cards or make Clue tokens, so they still work well together.

Traitorous Diplomacy1RInstantAs an additional cost to cast this spell, pay 2 or sacrifice an enchantment or creature.Traitorous Diplomacy deals 5 damage to target creature. If that creature would die this turn, exile it instead
>>93807576Normally this would be terrible but I'm guessing this is going to be okay because the set seems to have a theme of sacrificing your own and champions
>>93807504For me it feels like one of those cards that's good but doesn't really further my gameplan directly (I rather repeatedly recur creatures than use finality counters, and the other effect just amounts to some extra pinging on the opponents) so I'd have to replace something that better synergizes with my deck to fit it.
>>93807096>think I might win if the game goes on for much longer.>I would have won though.Nah, that wording ain't gonna fly. Either you scoop or you play it out until I know for damn sure I can't win.

>>93806089if you want to win in cedh you dont try you just copy the top lists and pilot it the exact same way everyone else does because they're all just AB combos.
>>93807977What? Yes that's absolutely what you do. Cedh is the epitome of net decking
Recently picked up an Ixhel precon and want to upgrade her. Anyone got a list?
>>93808105Just use Scryfall and search for relevant infect/ toxic cards
Is this the card they did to make fun of us?
>>93808202When will they complete the insult audience cycle
>>93803022>best case scenario>turn 1 kederekt parasite>turn 2 valgavoth with ritualalso you get to draw cards if opponents play any shocklands, city of brass or fetches. BUT the problem is that WotC already printed better option in same colors. Like with Ob Nix you can draw way more cards, stack your library in any shape you wish and then on your turn play Apocalypse and cast whatever you wish for with all the rituals and good stuff from exile while others are left with nothing.
>>93808290you would be right if it was not for a single problem: ob nixilis doesn't DRAW, impulse draw is ABSOLUTE SHIT, simple as. I'll give you that for more competitive tables and cedh shit with tons of rituals and fast mana, ob nixilis is better, sure, but for 90% of the other tables the butterfly guy is way more fun and better. I mean, draw is OBJETIVELY better than impulse draw.
Good card

>>93808499oh no, etika got taken to the spooky dimension!
>>93808499This is going to be a great one
>>93806444>Urza and Yawgmoth are trashLaughs in stax. Someone's got to rev up the ol' contamination lock or drop trinisphere turn one, and I'm glad God chose me to do it.Anyways, House of Leaves. I wont post spoilers in case any other anons want to read it, but it was so fucking good; one of the most enjoyable things I've read in a long time and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys philosophy or theory books. My friend was reading The Malazan Book of the Fallen, and I had just finished Child of God, but I needed something new. Cut to 3am on a tuesday and that My House.wad Doom video essay came on autoplay, then one thing lead to another, and I ordered House of Leaves on amazon. As a nerd with a useless degree focusing on modernism, I was honestly shocked I hadnt come across it earlier. I get how some people might find the frame narrative kind of indulgent, but the whole ergodic literature schtick is just too compelling. It reminded me of reading Paradise Lost in highschool and slowly crawling through endless self-referential citations. It's the same reason I like The Naked Lunch so much; both books are books that play with the concept of "bookness" itself. One of my favorite parts happened purely by accident, though it might have been intentional which is extra neat, when I didnt realize that there were two sets of apendicies and read those letters, and opened my phone to manually decipher that elaborate code. People in the coffee shop were looking at me like I was fucked as I'm spinning this book around and flipping between pages like a mad man; good times good times.
I am having the worst shit of my life right now and i have to be at work in 13 minutes, pray for me
>>93808290>I mean, draw is OBJETIVELY better than impulse draw.that depends on the sauce. you could say that drawing A card is better than having a card in exile with similar functions as draw. also fair, nobody in 99% of cases at local gamestore have massive discard effects unless it's a wheel.but I wouldn't say that drawing a card is objectively better than impulse draw if you can only draw three cards per round. Ob nix has no such limit. if you can't play the card then that's that. it's up to me if I want to be the fastest man alive or slow as a turtle during a round with my impulses. with vol you always get solid three. personally I brew my own decks and when to go flash-mode with my own impulses but you maybe right that a regular guy wants to just feel fast with their honda civic.so objectively it's the same function but in different zone but I would rather control my draws than be set on hard limit.
>>93808499Very good. Just need a non Ghostbusters art for it.
>>93808848Nta but my thoughts are-drawing is objectively better than impulse draw even if you're limited to three times per round -unlike ob nix you are not limited to the damage only being 1Ob nix is probably ultimately "better" but I feel like this is a side grade for someone who wants permanent draw or larger pings. It's another iteration on the same themeIt's another iteration on the same theme
>90% of the art from this set is some pseudo stranger things inspired slop
Any new serpents, kraken, leviathans, or octopussies in Duskbourne? If not I skip.
>>93808896I like a lot of the monster designs but hate the survivors. Similarly, I hated the critters from Bloomburrow but loved the calamity beasts, so maybe I'm just biased towards antagonists lately.
>>93808499>We wanna represent the urban youth audience!
Impulse draw is amazing when you have low curve or ready to pop offRegular draw is generally better but I've also seen others / been targeted myself for "having a full grip"And while it's not technically wrong to target a player for being ahead in a certain resource, it felt a bit like being punished for actually building a deck has a balance of draw that doesn't leave me topdecking. Even more so because I was in mono W
I'm baking a new one
>>93808963Survivors are either leftover slop from some UB/secret lair for Stranger Things or Ghost Busters, literally nothing about the lore or stories of Duskmourn points to an 80's setting except jarringly out of place cards

>>93806594I play Velomachus in a way that can lean into this. Cast an Armageddon off the top when you have Teferi's Protection or Dawn's Truce off the top. Or just do it without protecting your lands but do protect Velomachus.
