I think it's retarded that "outside of the game" cards in MTG are "refering to the sideboard" when they aren't. I've always found that rule nonsensical. I would prefer more accurate text like "Search your sideboard..." saying outside of the game means I can go grab my binder and is needlessly confusing to players who aren't familiar with intricate tournament rulesets.

It's still supposed to mean "Search your binder" in every context but tournament play, including playing a sanctioned format (e.g. Modern) when not in a tournament.
It's the most bafflingly retarded shit ever when Karn exists as a card people run in 3 formats (and had to get banned from a 4th) since it means that by game rules you're not supposed to actually be able to practice Karn's usage properly.

But it doesn't say that or anything that implies that. The only way you'd know that is if someone told you, likely after you made the mistake of thinking otherwise. I doubt some dude getting fucked by such a thing at an FNM is super healthy for the game.
I know what they mean when they say outside the game. But Jimmy the newbie might not know that when he plays his first ever standard FNM. And standard has certainly had "search outside the game" cards.

the point was always that it won't get banned. bringing up those other commanders was because you wanted other legal commanders that make people cry. people absolutely seethe at all of them, especially at the casual level, which is what the original anon was saying the level that will make people seethe enough that the commander gets banned. you're being a disingenuous cunt to pretend someone is retarded without even caring about the argument at hand. kill yourself.

Well like the other guy said, none of those cards were meant to refer to the sideboard, since sideboards are a tournament rule and only exist during tournaments. There's no such thing as a sideboard in a casual match, and, as crazy as it sounds, there was a time in Magic when the default mode of play was assumed to be kitchen table casual with no banlists, no formats, just play 40 cards minimum (not 60, that's another tournament rule) and otherwise do whatever you want and go nuts.

In fact the first card of that type (Ring of Ma'Ruf, Arabian Nights) was printed before sideboards as a concept were even invented.

Last time I checked if your deck needs expensive stax pieces he's not a good budget option. Especially when your own stax pieces (most of which don't actually interact with your commander) color screw you because your commander is 3 colors.

I assume you smoke cigars which is why you think it's nice. Similar to stoners who I have seen say weed smells nice. People who don't smoke either think both smell horrific.
Neither are as bad as what cigarette smokers smell like, though. Which genuinely to me is worse than feces or an open sewer.

Yep. Back when Magic was good.

>>93816065
I'm not the "local stax expert" but it's gonna be a bunch of looting and mulch style effects, cheap ramp spells and mana rocks (CMC 2 or less), dual type cards like artifact lands and enchantment creatures, random tribal cards like tarfire and bitterblossom, as well as the stuff that fucks with your draw like Uba Mask and Teferi's puzzle box and black graveyard hate like leyline of the void and dauthi voidwalker. Probably win with urborg + coffers + torment of hailfire after grinding the game to a halt.
I could absolutely see if you dropped Winter on turn 3 or 4 and made everyone discard down to 1 or 0 on the first go around the table, most casual decks would just scoop unless they are heavily graveyard based.

A guy I know loves skeletons and built multiple skeleton decks. They are all awful. What are skeletons supposed to do? Elves make mana, clerics prevent damage, and so on. What is the skeleton feature?

>Comic Books
cape shit is gay. comics/manga themselves aren't bad, but if your shelf is all batman, superman, ironman, naruto, etc. there is a problem.
>Cosplay
depends on physique, what you're cosplaying, age, and where you are cosplaying. can be massive turn off to a massive turn on.
>Debating
as a "hobby" it is a turnoff, your entire personality is built around arbitration. that is not sexy.
>Drinking
if you know wine, whiskies, or cocktails it is okay, if your "hobby" is getting trashed every night, then it is gross.
>MTG
yeah, cards are a turn off.
>Anime
a lot more women are into anime than comics so it is rarely a turn off. it depends what you watch. if you only watch school girl anime, yeah it'll turn women off.
>Makeup
other anon is half right. doing makeup for cosplay or even movie makeup is cool.
>Crypto
what other anon said about this is correct.
>Cigars
other anon is right that it is a useless expenditure, wrong about your house smelling nice. cigars smell like shit. not a turn on.
>Clubbing
not an unattractive hobby to a lot of women, this is where loads find hookup partners. to the women who do not club, it is a turnoff.
>Marijuana
some women are grossed out, some women love to imbibe and are not turned off. just don't be someone who smokes everyday.
>Funko
absolute turnoff. you are allowed one at most.
>Arguing Online
this is like debating but even more pathetic. terrible "hobby" that turns pussy into the sahara desert
>Porn
its a turn off but most women realize most men watch and lots watch themselves. if you partake, whatever. if you have a goon cave, or have any saved content it;s gross. even saved content you made is gross in the eyes of a lot of women.
>Gambling
other anon is right.
>Manosphere
this is not a hobby, this is a worldview.

A rare that was only printed one time is not in the same budget range as a common.
More than that, Uba Mask is one card in your deck of 99. Without it on the field your commander is fucking you in the ass because your color identity locks you to exactly 3 cards that stop people from drawing extra cards, one of which is over $1000 and another of which doesn't advance your gameplan. The chance of you drawing Uba Mask without anyone ever drawing or exiling Krosan Grip, Explosive Derailment, Archdruid's Charm, Assassin's Trophy, Tear Asunder, Abrade, Disenchant, Return to Nature, Into the Flood Maw, Chain of Vapor, or Nature's Claim (among many, many other generic options) is extremely low.

Then there's no point in establishing skeletons as a creature type. YOu already have the "coming back from the graveyard" creature type. It would be like introducing lots of green satyr mana dorks and make them the new elves.

Yeah.
The type should simply be rolled into one overarching type like "Undead." Only way Skellys would ever work.
As is, two skeleton lords also buff zombies, giving you little reason to not want zombies in your skelly deck.

Am I the only one pissed that they introduced cloak because they realized a vanilla 2/2 creature isint good enough anymore and then 8 months later they're back to fucking manifest without ward
>>
>>93816370
They really need to start using old mechanics a lot more. Some of the newer ones are so fucking hard to remember already because of how many they constantly dump out

If there’s no reminder on cards I find myself having to look shit up now, even from bloomburrow
>>
>>93816370
I figure the idea was that dread is a different "advantage" than cloak is over basic manifest. You have the ability to choose between two cards. Helps fill your grave, and maybe even manifest some creature you want to flip face up.

The ward is better but I get what they're going for.

>>93816324
multiple reasons why it crashed and burned. first and foremost because an official split between casual and cedh should be a more casual version of the format banning some of the more egregious cards, not cedh going and unbanning cards.
>>93816370
no, i regularly said in these threads that disguise was a fuck atrocious decision. cloak is not AS bad as disguise, because it is another source giving something the flip and ward 2. but morph is a hidden info mechanic, and disguise actively shits on that philosophy. as soon as i play disguise it now gives you info about a set of cards that it could be. still, both disguise and cloak are shit. they said they needed to add ward to make morph meet the power levels of the current environment, but morph has almost never been a constructed mechanic (yes, deathmist raptor and den protector were played in standard and akroma blink decks existed. those were outliers), so it doesn't need to be updated for modern environments, they just need to balance the set removal around 3 mana 2/2s, like they did in tarkir (made debilitate even though disfigure already existed). instead, they powered up morph and powered up removal with a bunch of uncounterable shit to deal with it. FUCK the needless power creep.

This is a wicked shit attitude both for you and for wotc. Everything SHOULD be a constructed mechanic and they tried to make it so for one set and the abandoned that philosophy almost a year later. This point is also literally wrong as now we have had three commander decks that care about it with kadena, kaust and now zimone

>as soon as i play disguise it now gives you info about a set of cards that it could be
That doesn't make it a bad mechanic and this new mechanic should have been "cloak dread"

>FUCK the needless power creep
This is needed power creep because morph, while fun, fucking sucks. A 2/2 for three has never been good and magic rules are so autistic that you can't even take advantage of the hidden information from your opponent by shuffling the facedown cards or anything like that. The only thing I'll agree with you on is that this was the wrong way to go about it with a new mechanic, b instead they should have completely eratta morph to add ward 2 and avoid the fact that we now have four different mechanics right now (Five I guess with manifest dread) that all do similar but confusing things because they're all slightly different

>>93816462
>This is a wicked shit attitude both for you and for wotc. Everything SHOULD be a constructed mechanic
they balanced it poorly the first time around but even then it was still fun enough that they brought it back multiple times. it is great in limited, and actually works much better in terms of hidden info than competitive constructed formats. in an ideal world the mechanic would be great for competitive constructed formats, but shitting on the design philosophy at this point is even worse.
>This point is also literally wrong as now we have had three commander decks that care about it with kadena, kaust and now zimone
sorry, i said constructed. i meant competitive constructed formats, not kitchen table nonsense. notice how the decks i brought up were not commander decks?
>That doesn't make it a bad mechanic
it's stronger than morph, for sure. but it shits on design philosophy of morph and actively discourages from playing morph cards in the same deck as disguise because it is a tell in hidden info deck.
>This is needed power creep because morph, while fun, fucking sucks.
limited should have balanced removal around morph, not trying to up morph and then needing to up removal to match.
>instead they should have completely eratta morph to add ward 2

The skeleton feature used to be regeneration, but WotC is trying to phase that out of the game. They played around with mimicking regeneration by giving you ways to bring them back from the graveyard, but that's a core mechanic of Zombies. The skeleton identity seems to be moving towards an enchantment theme, but there's no real plan that I can see. Skeletons are going to have to be an entire set's black archetype if they ever hope to be rehabilitated into something more than the "also" to Zombies.

>>
>>93816658
Vehicles are bad but they're fun
>>
>>93816658
I’m so sad the next set is going to be all vehicles. What were they thinking?
>>
>>93816664
Hey,

I wanted to share my thoughts on why Rhystic Study is arguably the best card in Magic: The Gathering, especially in Commander format.

Card Draw Engine: Rhystic Study is a powerhouse when it comes to drawing cards. Every time an opponent casts a spell, you get to draw a card unless they pay an extra mana. This can quickly snowball into a massive card advantage, giving you more options and answers than your opponents
1.
Tax Effect: The “tax” effect of Rhystic Study forces your opponents to make tough decisions. Either they slow down their game plan by paying the extra mana, or they let you draw cards. This can disrupt their strategy and give you a significant edge
2.
Low Mana Cost: At just 3 mana, Rhystic Study is relatively cheap to cast. This means you can get it out early in the game and start reaping the benefits almost immediately
3.
Scales with Multiplayer: In multiplayer formats like Commander, Rhystic Study becomes even more powerful. With more opponents, you have more opportunities to draw cards, making it an essential inclusion in many decks
4.
Versatility: Rhystic Study fits into a wide variety of decks. Whether you’re playing control, combo, or even aggro, the card draw and tax effect are universally beneficial
5.
In conclusion, Rhystic Study’s ability to generate card advantage, disrupt opponents, and fit into various deck archetypes makes it one of the best cards in MTG. What do you all think? Do you agree, or do you have other contenders for the best card
>>
>>93816623
I suppose it might be fun to make a deck that never puts it's commander back in the command zone.
>>
>>93816467
Combat trick city. Benton can be on the board and attacking by the second turn. You spend your first attack (or two if your hand is bad) on the weakest player (aka the one you're going to kill last) to get some cards and then just rip into someone next turn and kill them in one shot. Whoever you figure might stop you. Double strike, stat boosts, protection and trample make it really easy to just slam someone for 21+ even through ridiculous blockers and interaction. Post combat you can use summer bloom to unload lands and/or crop rotation to find reliquary tower if you don't draw into it or play thought vessel to preserve your hand.

If you're out of mana postcombat something like Elvish Spirit Guide can help a lot to drop a Burgeoning onto the board as this is god's most retarded Burgeoning deck. You have mana dorks to deal with edicts and you can hold a single mana for spells to protect Benton or use fogs to stop people from killing you on their turn. Nostalgic Dreams rebuys anything important you need at the cost of some cards which is so easy in Benton. Pic related, Inner Calm, Outer Strength, and Wild Defiance will just blow people up.

He frustrates the fuck out of people because he's very fast, you always have some shit to do, and he's incredibly hard to put down once the ball gets rolling.

there is none to redeem it. i've given up hope for magic's creative vision and as such given up disdain for UB. final fantasy is my last hope, if they fuck it up i am washing myself of this game.
>>
>>93816965
Really cool idea fucked over by the inclusion of whatever Ghostbuster / Stranger Things UB set that got cancelled and folded into this one, they should have just went full on fear demon house instead of forcing the 80's shit, like it's really fucking jarring the more you look at it
>>
>>93817004
I genuinely feel like they forgot how to do horror after original new phyrexia. This set had an interesting premise but the whole thing feels like a bizarre UB with all the references

the death of MTG (and so many other properties) is being brought on by 40 something manchildren, with funkos in their office, in art departments going "you know what would be totally heckin awesome..."

It's not even that there are overt references to stranger things, it's more that, similar to stranger things they went "the 80's are heckin awesome and valid!" And then made media that was fake retro nostalgia. It's not actually based on the 80's it's instead a zoomer idea of what the 80's were, and that's how it's similar to stranger things.
On top of that the Ghostbuster references are just bizarre.
I really wish they had stuck to a more surreal horror thing like there are glimmers of in the set so far, bizarre creatures, enchantment creatures, horrors, nightmares. They also chose to bring back two extremely unpopular and low powered mechanics in both manifest and delirium. Just bizarre choices all around, I have to wonder what we sacrificed for all the references.

I've been brewing a few decks that interest me, but aren't expensive and aren't meta (or popular at all) as my pod is fairly low power, though some of their decks are getting fairly strong just through upgrades over time. The ones I know I'm going to be getting are a Vannifar Eldrazi deck (surprisingly cheap since it's all about her token generation/card advantage + pumping colorless, and making a lot of eldrazi spawn/scions), and a Korlessa dragons deck (same thing, neither colors are particularly popular for dragons). They seem like they'd be fun, but lower power, so that's ideal.
I was also brewing a few others, but one I was curios about was Kwain. It'd be group hug, which helps those who don't run enough card draw and topdeck all game (which is a lot of them), but I worry it's TOO control and it's just not fun for others because my wincons are pseudo control (lab maniac, tris, felidar sovereign, and pillowfort). Is that actually how group hug tends to play, or am I just overthinking it?

It's hilarious that WOTC refused to allow humans to use guns on the Doctor Who art, so the tokens for this guy are modern soldiers fighting with knives.
>>
>>93817024
Personally, I agree. The darker color schemes and being unafraid to depict some fucked up shit in that set (and dabbling in later sets like the Innistrad plane ones), vs. All Will Be One where they were COOL and not scary at all.

You're right on the surreal horror thing, they should have went harder on the specific areas and how the nightmares in them harvested fear, instead of the 80's slop. The Floodpits should have gone heavy on drowning and scary shit lurking in the waters, pic related is great honestly
>Latches onto you, stuns you, drags you to the depths
More stuff like that would have been better. What would the Hauntwoods equivalent be, fear of getting eaten alive by hungry animals? Insect infestation when you don't realize it's happening? I guess we don't know we needed
stuff like Chad Thunk the zombie jock and cheerleaders and ghost catching devices, they threw this set in the trash man

I only just threw it together, I haven't built it yet. But the set I started with was BFZ, so I have a soft spot for it, and the aesthetic and design of the Eldrazi from that time. So I really wanted to play with cards I played with in limited (since I didn't play constructed at the time), and it really seems like it'd be fun to build a different kind of Eldrazi deck, focused more on the manifest/cloak mechanic and buffing colorless creatures with a go wide strategy.
>>
>>93817170
It's surprising that Bloomburrow felt like it'd be a terrible set, but personally I've enjoyed it and it's added a lot of variety into EDH for me, whereas Duskmourn feels like an absolute flop. I only got back into EDH/MTG just before Bloomburrow, and I was considering getting a precon then, but I decided to go for one in Duskmourn.. but none are remotely interesting to me.
I miss flavor text too. The text on cards are just too long for that nowadays, other than draft chaff.

Yeah I agree. For example There's a ton of flavor in this cycle of lands that isint present anywhere else in the set

From the wiki there are supposed to be these:
Wickerfolk, living constructs of wood that used to be humans and other survivors

Same thing with the boros land talking about the eerie carnival.

Idk to me that seems like a great concept, the idea that this plane is like a venue flytrap for people who find it and can't leave, and end up trapped in a surreal nightmare that transforms them into a monster. Yet almost none of the cards reflect this concept and instead we got budget Ghostbusters

One thing they've seemingly started to do is keep the flavor text on extended art cards, which I think is a good thing. Now if they would just make extended art FULL art to the top of the frame and not just airbrushed and extended to the sides, it would be perfect
>>
>>93817197
I try not to be annoying to play against, so I wouldn't do land destruction. Anyone who plays something like that (or Tergrid, or locking people down with Karn + Mycocinth, etc) I always hard focus too. It's just not the kind of game I or most in my pod play, so I wouldn't go that way.
As for golem tribal and indestructible artifacts, that's fair. I've been making a lot of less expensive decks, and my planned Sydri one is around $120~. I see your point though, going back through Sydri it didn't really have a focus - it was just all over the place. Definitely something I should redo, since I want a good fun artifact deck and don't have a real focused plan for it yet.

That's a good point. Sadly, a lot of the more recent alternate art just sucks ass too on top of the weird stretched/"widescreen" feel of full arts. I legitimately hated MKM's alternate art, and the Baldur's Gate/Adventures one too. It looks horrendous.

MLD is a dick move for sure, but reining in a green player or picking off problematic lands by making then artifacts with Liquimetal Torque and popping with Sydri seems like a fair resource exchange to me. If you’re around in 7-8 hours Ill post my list since it needs an update and I’m off to work.

The stories even made it clear when the Witcherfolk turn you, the trees that burst out of you are from your home plane, The Wanderer recognized bamboo shoots shooting out of Nashi. Could have been some killer art showing a grove of different trees from the multiverse, implying a bunch of unlucky idiots have been harvested from all over, would make a good Song of the Dryads reprint for sure. Witcherfolk clone but they're also a nightmare treefolk? ANYTHING but the fucking stranger things retro nostalgia bait

>>93817212
You'd expect a literal clown/circus society to have developed over time in this case along with all the other areas but it's just not fleshed out at all. A handful of cards showing how people lived here and elsewhere in the named places would have served the set way better.
>>
>>93817227
I'll keep an eye out for it. Targeted land destruction is better to keep a landfall in check, and a way to reel them back in so they can't just quickly rebuild. The same with clearing their graveyard so they can't recur lands. As my first ever deck was 4 color Omnath landfall (and by far the most expensive), I full well know how oppressive and broken it can be if not kept in check, and in a slower pod. I'm taking it apart purely because it's almost inevitable if they don't 3v1 me at the start.
I agree on vehicles though. There's not ENOUGH good vehicles to run, having some is good because the cards themselves are good (eg. Shorikai). Also the tokens that are made can go well with any kind of token payoffs. I'm probably gonna sit on making any artifact deck, as right now I'm still thinking about that group hug/Kwain deck. I wanna play it, I think it'd be good for our pod, but I worry it's too control and they'll feel stifled even WITH lots of cards.
>>
>>93817231
It's kinda weird that the UB shit I actually hate are the modern things. Fallout is fringe tolerable, but the more modern it is the worse it feels trying to force into MTG. WH40k is so far beyond modern AND it's grimdark, it feels like it fits far better than Doctor Who or Fallout. But an ACTUAL core set having this weird modern shit banking on modern pop culture is.. not great.
>>
>>93817244
I feel like over time we will have enough good vehicles and then the cards we have that care about vehicles will become better. They clearly are going to keep supporting vehicles so greasefang is just going to get better with time

I took it for a test drive tonight in my Yorion the Sky Nomad deck. The card selection from the manifest dread mechanic is very strong when you're flickering the manifest and the Cursed Windbreaker simultaneously. I would say it's better than Cryptic Coat in my deck, but if you're trying to play it as a fair manifest then the ward on Cryptic Coat might be a better choice. I run both in my deck, of course.

I find the issue with ONE art to not actually be the designs (except for white Phyrexians, where they screwed up a lot of them) but the art style. In most of the art the colors "pop" too much, giving everything a plastic feel. In contrast the Scars block art used a very dark and muted palette and made heavy use of fog to obscure details and backgrounds, giving everything a very foreboding and oppressive feel. A lot of the ONE creature designs with art style similar to the Scars block cards would look just fine or even great, and there are a handful of ONE cards that do have that kind of style (Mandible Justiciar and Bloated Contaminator come to mind).

I'm coming back after spending my of my time playing canadian highlander

>>
>>93818163
The One Ring costs as much as most people's decks here
>>
>>93818156
So that people don't blink him while he's a creature to reset his loyalty counter when they had already exhausted it.
>>
>>93818173
I don't actually know now that I'm reading it. I'm confused why it doesn't say he's a creature in addition to his other types?
>>
>>93818126
They are really pushing Yuriko.
>>
>>93818180
Wouldn't SBA kill the Planeswalker from the 0 loyalty before you get the chance to blink it?
>>
>>93818126
Is this the first emblem we have seen that can be done turn 1?
>>
>>93818188
All the Gideons say that he is still a Planeswalker, so I guess Kaito stops being a Planeswalker when hes a creature and therefore would live 0 Loyalty until its not your turn, in which case he would become a Planeswalker again and die
>>
>>93818225
If he stops being a planeswalker though can he still use loyalty abilities?
>>
>>93818231
Yeah non-Planeswalkers can use loyalty abilities and gain/lose loyalty as a result
>>
Did wizard just made another errata mistake with Kaito?
>>
>>93818225
Loyalty doesn't become 0, it's counters. It stays as it is, you just can't activate loyalty abilities.
>>
>>93818225
I guess that settles it, during your turn he's not a Planeswalker at all, but he will still die if his loyalty is reduced
>>
>>93818231
Look up Grist being exiled by Soul Cauldron
>>
>>93818247
Nah they're just dumb. I that after reading it and the discussion in this thread they wanted him to be a creature but still take combat damage unlike Gideon.
Unfortunately the whole creatures being Planeswalker thing is not a common occurrence so the rules are likely going to confuse most people
>>
>>93818248
>Loyalty doesn't become 0, it's counters. It stays as it is, you just can't activate loyalty abilities.
If you have 0 loyalty counters, you can still use loyalty abilities, the cost is gaining/removing them. If a hypothetical Kaito without the "one or more" bit had its loyalty counters all removed, you could still do the +1.
Planeswalkers die from lack of loyalty counters, even if they are creatures but in Kaito's case he seems to stop being a Planeswalker

This is another card retardedly written. He is still a planeswalker because otherwise you will never be able to activate his loyalty abilities. They can be only activated as sorceries and if he is never a planeswalker on your turn, you would only be able to activate his abilities on your opponents turn if you somehow manage to bypass the timing restrictions.

>>93818399
Just him and Yuriko on the battlefield will draw you five cards.
>>
>>93818367
No, because he stops being a planeswalker during your turn.
>>
>>93818411
Idk this feels like a made for commander card
There'll probably be 1-2 draftchaff ninjas and then a rare or uncommon in kaitos colors that make ninja tokens to justify his emblem
>>
>>93818225
He's a creature as long as he has 1 or more loyalty counters (and it's your turn), so if he drops to 0 loyalty he'll cease being a creature as a state-based action and get destroyed.
>>93818306
It almost never comes up, but you don't actually have to be a planeswalker to use loyalty abilities. It's just that there's extremely few situations where that would come up.
>>
>>93818367
If he was still a planeswalker and a creature yes but I don't think so here since he seems to lose the planeswalker type

you certainly get value from making land drops but you are better off with like 35-28 lands and more ramp, with cards like Traverse the Outlands that can really get you cranking.

35-38 lands not 28 oooof

The worst part is that people here will unironically recommend 28 lands so it wasn't even an obvious typo.

>>93818634
For the record, I'm a big fan of 40 lands even in non landfall decks because I like to hit all my land drops and play huge spells. At some point the question becomes less about efficiency and more about personal preference. Does missing a land drop on turn 7 feel bad to you or does it not matter? It also depends on the draw you're running. When in doubt, do some goldfishing and keep track of what turns you miss your land drops and what turns you run out of cards in hand, then adjust.

What are some early swaps for a newbie Undead Unleashed deck? I went through a shoebox and made some additions and cut some lands, do I have enough?
>>
>>93818723
There were only 5, counting the two Breaking News ones. The buffing ones aren't in Eriette's colours, and the others are more removal-based or are Buried in the Garden, which enchants lands and Eriette's effect doesn't work on lands.

Standard has a turn 2 kill in aggro coming up, and you already can't ever tap out once turn 2 arrives because of plotted SSS threatening to kill if you don't hold up interaction while SSS itself sacrifices nothing.

https://www.moxfield.com/decks/NFRFnGz6nEWYaJJtV9rpIw
It's just a first draft and it's intended to be all about card draw. A lot of the people in my pod severely underestimate card draw (they find Eriette incidental drain more dangerous than Sythis drawing lots of cards), so they don't run enough and end up topdecking. So this is how to boost the game speed by forcing people to draw more, and let people PLAY more. And by making a pillow fort, and adding wincons purely based on card draw. Plus Approach of the Second Sun, a wincon I made in my first ever constructed deck (azorius control lmao).
I wanna build it, I'm just worried they WON'T have fun playing against it, however it's not a stacks decks and the only "control" is a few counterspells, pillowfort, and lots of card draw.

If your post is incompatible with stock responses, then it's never going to get traction. Stock responses get you more updoots and are easier to reply with. That's what reddit has become. The funny thing is board regulars will become upset that all of the threads end up being the same over time but it's 100% because of the way they respond to posts.
at least this was true of the disc golf sub and path of exile (way worse for POE to the point where people literally refuse to read your posts and reply based on the topic title). I can't image mtg is more dignified.

Honestly I couldn't care less myself. I'm casual and specifically lower power level because it's too good, or not fun to play against. I also try to avoid spending more than $100 total on my decks. I'll add more AS I GO, but rarely will I drop for an expensive card. I don't even buy lands over $5~ or so, like shock lands, fetch lands, and the multi-opponent lands. It's not necessary for me at the power level I play at.

id probably be playing pauper or maybe by this time an alternative card game. I hear ashes is pretty good

>>93820463
Perfect example of a broken commander.
>>
>>93820478
All LotR cards are legal in Commander right now so I'm not sure what your point is.
WotC is already printing cards directly to Commander at the expense of all formats including Commander itself while the RC does nothing.

It would mean wotc could ban things than print 95% of the same card for money. I don't even trust wotc with printing shit anymore let alone any other responsibility
>>
>>93820607
The RC don't have much of a financial incentive, either. WotC does. They're the ones who even MAKE the cards, and they're the ones who are overtuning the shit out of cards for no reason. Why the fuck do some kill on sight cards that are absurdly loaded with text that make them broken have WARD? The value a single card tends to have in terms of impact nowadays is just insane.
>>
>>93820584
>>93820607
These cards are being printed specifically because they know there's no chance the card gets banned if it's broken. The only difference is that there's even less accountability if a card doesn't get banned because the RC can absorb all the flak.
There's a reason Oathbreaker instantly imploded when WotC used the RC's mindset in not banning shit.
