Hi friends it me again! This is my Arabella deck now. I've largely dropped the hatebears stuff because I dunno they seemed kind of irrelevant overall. I did keep a few choice ones because I do feel they help keep Arabella safe but largely I pivoted to focusing on protecting her so I can just swing away for increasing damage every turn. There are 3 slots still needed, which I am hoping to fill with card draw. And as you can see I have no mana acceleration, which I don't think i need much but if you see a few cards that seem they could go in place of a rock that'd be cool I'd love the feedback! Thanks!

I know some anon is gonna call me a tard again but I'm very certain this is the right move..

>>93947670
The dinos are only for defense of the heart. When I have the choice, I'll always play elesh norn and getting my hands on Vishgraz is easy af. So one elesh norn makes my board with vishgraz total aids while killing everything all opponents have... and the other elesh norn eats the 3 mites Vishgraz makes to transform into even more aids and cancer.

I can't think of a situation where you'd wanna play the rex instead of one of the elesh norn.

And I find 7 mana to be relatively cheap. These 4 are enough to always give me endless mana.
If a match even goes that far.. usually my poison hits terminal levels by turn 6 or 7.
Nobody is ever able to contest Ixhel so she just keeps putting in the work.. last match I won was only ixhel and the grafted exoskeleton. That's 6 poison counter per turn.
2 from toxic 2 she has and 4 infect.

>4mana to kill one thing
This is far from a board wipe unless you regularly have infinite mana, even in green. To kill just 3 creatures you need 8 mana that's absurd anon. At least post ezuris predation or the artifact/enchantment sweepers they have. Or that big green dinosaur that fights everything when it etbs

This card is criminally underplayed. Freely tap down a nasty blocker on your turn, save it for combat trickery on opponents combats and I've never not drawn 4+ cards from it but usually much, much more. I love this thing
>>
I like building block cubes, cubes made up only of cards from one block. I'm thinking of transforming it from 300 cards in random packs into 240 cards, drafted in set order. It would force drafting a little more strict, but I used to have an Alara cube that was drafted in set order and I liked it a lot. Anyone in here have opinions?
>>
>>93947716
I feel I rarely have enough creatures on the board to benefit from the +2/+2. Infect/toxic creatures are perceived as big enough of a threat even the 1/1s tend to eat removal very quickly. The -2/-2 is good, but also matchup-dependent (it's very good at stopping 1/1 token spam, but doesn't do much against big creatures since a 12/12 turning into as 10/10 will still kill you pretty quickly). Rex doesn't need other creatures to do its job, as long as at least one opponent doesn't have enough toughness to completely stop the damage.

Though there definitely has been times when I wish I had Norn in my deck, and I do have some other beatsticks like Vishgraz and Skithiryx (or even Ixhel: toughness 5 flyer with vigilance that puts out 2 poison counters on hit does surprisingly good work), so I could potentially swap them around. Ideally I'd keep both, but I don't want to have too many high-mana cards, and I already have a bunch of 6-mana creatures and a few 7-mana non-permanents as well.

Ponder is 4 looks at a land, and a conditional shuffle. It's unironically amazing. Not brainstorm good, but you cant brainlock yourself on it so it's often situationally better. Cantrips are part of your manabase no matter if you run too few lands or too many.

There is no MSRP. Places tend to start preordering at around 35-40. So I'd say the standard correct price is 40 and you shouldn't pay above that.

This but all "your creatures or permanents untap" cards, of which there are plenty. Fuck, I played against them last night.
>>
>>93949918
It's common knowledge in legacy. Cantrips enable you to dig for your lands more consistently, and let you keep otherwise unkeepable hands.
>>
>>93949925
What makes Prophet uniquely banworthy amongst that number is that it untaps creatures AND lands, which would be concerningly strong on its own, but ALSO lets you cast creatures as though they had flash. It was a problem in 2013 when it was first printed, was banworthy in '16, and has only gotten worse since then.

Honestly I embraced this awhile ago. The thing is if you like a particular deck if theme, chances are you will is that theme in other colors or with a different commander.

What makes it ban worthy was that it was super powerful 10 years ago. Unfortunately power creep ensures there are far stronger cards in EDH than prophet.

>>93949803
Ponder lets you look 3 cards deep to find what you need, and if it's not there you get to roll the dice on a 4th card. Brainstorm, Ponder, and Preordain all let you look at 3 cards. Serum Visions, Portent, Mental Note, and Thought Scour will also show you 3 cards, but are far less flexible. Opt and Consider only let you see 2 cards, but are instants. Gitaxian Probe is only 1, but it's free. Whispers of the Muse is worth considering because it doubles as a combo card.
>>
>>93949612
Smitten can probably go, but I like it as a cheap lifelink boy.
Dusk's Shadow can probably go since I never seem to face lifegain decks anyway. Headless and Dauthi are both pet cards.

>one card combo
This irks me because it's incorrect. A card plus your commander is two cards. There are no one card combos in magic.
>>
>>93948604
Yeah I’m not sure you’re able to to disentangle what is good on paper versus what is good to play.
Talions effects are good. That’s part of why he will be high priority for removal. Especially when you consider how annoying people will find it to be burned and give you card draw just for playing cards themselves.

You can play Talion. He is good. He will be destroyed early and often. You will not have a Commander for most of the game. That is less value to your deck than just playing something else. Particularly in dimir where you can just play other versions of his effects.
>>
>>93949998
It's really a shame. There were a lot of cards that got printed or erattad after rotation that would have made a Surveil tempo deck viable, but the strategy isn't good enough for Pioneer.
>>
>>93949998
I mean, why did they not just print it as 'surveil 1' in the first place? inb4 'Oh, we didn't consider Surveil to be part of the set's identity' or some shit
>>
>>93950023
I would argue it's more like a 1.5 card combo because you always have access to your commander. The whole X card combo thing indicates the effort needed to find and assemble those cards. When you always have access to one of those cards, it lowers that bar significantly.

Surveil started out as a set-specific mechanic, but it was identical to many other effects, so they erattad those effects to be "surveil" cards.

I disagree. Sure you'll surprise people one time, but I'm a combo tard; if I know half your wincon is in the command zone I'm going to take precautions to prevent it from resolving, especially since it's telegraphed. Having A + B in your hand, even if you tutored it, allows for some subterfuge. Getting both halves of an easy combo isnt the hard part, resolving them is, which is why I tend to run combos with a lot of interchangable pieces.

I'm actually considering cutting Aryel for Elenda, I never really have enough Knights to use the removal effectively and I rarely use her to make tokens. Maybe I need to leave some more mana open and just use it on the end step of someone else's turn.
Thinking of slipping in Crib Swap so if I get Haakon I can repeatedly cast it from my graveyard.
You'll find Sidar is way more comfy than Aryel though, especially because looting gives you a ton of graveyard fuel for renanimation.

I've never used that guy before, he looks sick. I was considering a few of the old Stromgald knights for similar protection, but that's awesome.
Crib Swap is definitely gonna be an include then, I'm sure there's some ways to go infinite or do more with my deck than I currently have. Right now it wins exclusively through combat.
>sold all those knight staples
That shit hurts, but even cheaply, Sidar feels really nice. Cheap recursion like Call of the Death-Dweller and Unearth can do a lot for small things you might want, and Unmarked Grave/Buried Alive to get it all in there can really help as well.

Also W is easier to reanimate so it can "come out 5 turns early easily" just the same. W is also better at making tokens, so it puts more power on the board than Hoof in most situations. I'm guessing you haven't actually played the card, right? You do know it just wins games the same as Hoof, right?

Like anything that fucks with Goad, you really REALLY need something to get that under control if you make it to the one-on-one finale. Having a Massacre Wurm is well and good since it probably just ends the game, but you need at least five options for that point to give you a big chance of keeping it that long, and have to be willing to sandbag it if needed.

I think you're mistaking it for the Ashnod's Altar infinite using similar cards, you need that mana production or a different cost reducer (Urza's Incubator) to make that go infinite like it would with Ashnod's. Your deck also doesn't look like it has enough justification for a sacrifice loop so stick to your combat wins.

I can agree with this, but I do have several cards that add keywords to my creatures. Cover of Darkness for Fear, Knight Exemplar for Indestructible, Kinsbaile Cavalier for Double Strike, then there's also Moonshaker or Hoofbeats for Flying or Horsemanship. But on his own he's not great, yeah.
>Unironically based, do it
Based
>Knight of the Mists
like the other anon said, the pay U or bury target knight doesn't mean sacrifice itself or even one you control. It's probably bad tech, but it'd be a fun way to take a knight off the board that isn't yours because you DIDN'T pay an extra cost. Most likely though, it just ends up being 2UU so I don't kill one of my own creatures
>Lots of white in your meta or just because he's cool
He's cool, and very very classic Phyrexian. Pro: White, "Fuck Plains" practically written on the card, and it fits Zombie, Knight, and Phyrexian as creature types. Just a pretty sick guy.
>Actually a smart include, any evasive Knight gives you eminence triggers with no downside, as well as the upside of Specters with forced discard
I was actually thinking about how based specters were when I included it. I'm definitely gonna see if I can find an old copy to slip into the deck.
>never heard of that but it's another good BLB card
I saw it today by happenstance and fell in love with it. I really liked BLB
>has a bit of anti-synergy since you're also in black, but good otherwise
I don't have much internal targeting from black sources, I don't think, but yeah he just seems solid

It's a mechanic I disagree with existing but I'm just one guy and I'm not going to try to enforce my autism on other people and look like a tard.

For what it's worth I'm fine with backgrounds, doctors companions, partners that only specifically allow another card that's related to them, etc. It's using 2 partners that have absolutely no relation and completely antithetical flavor that really irks me.
>>
>>93950652
both
partner was a overshooting it in power, both because of color acces and the fact usually both partners do something, esentially leaving you with an extra card in your starting hand.

Backgrounds only allowing 2 colors max and the background itself being dead without the commander in play is a smidge too underpowered, but they are still fun
>>
>>93951066
It definitely would make sense, because it doesn't grant haste and the creature dies at your end anyway, so it's just for reusing ETBs or something.

>>93952878
They don't get the chance to return it to the command zone until the spell has finished resolving, so you would get the commander.

Howdy all, I would like to make a commander deck and I love the color red and I hate the color white and I think mono red is too simplistic and 3+ colors not really willing to spend so much money on land so I wanna do dual colors. Would y'all reckon Izzet, Gruul or Rakdos to be most fun?

Either Meteor Golem or Witch-King, Sky Scourge in Rakdos and Korlash in MonoB

Monocolour decks are not simple at all, they require a high degree of deck building and deep knowledge of the format. Build feldon, he's usually good for new players and can be scaled up for some pretty elaborate synergies and combos when you improve.
>>
>>93953276
I always regret playing izzet, I find Gruul and Rakdos both to be pretty fun.
My favorite commanders for each are Malfegor and Roxanne, Starfall Savant
admittedly I have not piloted Roxanne but my friends gf built her recently and it looks fun

Mono colors are the least simple to build simply because there's some threats your color can't answer so you need to flex in order to do so. The more colors you add, the more simple your deck gets because you have access to the more flexible cards and staples.

As someone who plays mono color decks, red is like the most puzzlebox of a color to work with. Sure there is the easy decks, like your godo, your dragon's approach, your krenko goblin tribal, but then there is other kinds of decks that really make the color feel janky by comparison. Even compared to white, and I would say its about tied with that color. SGPA0. Yet they is especially true for all colors when your trying to go off the beaten path for typical decks in those respective monocolors.

Based fellow mono red chad.
What are your favorite mono decks across all colors?
>>
>>93953276
Red provides the most variety and complexity of the colors. Red has more legitimate options than many dual colors as well. In my opinion, Izzet offers the most variety of any color combination. It does depend on what you're looking for though. Here's a list of Red commanders that I really enjoy, see if any of them speak to you. I ordered them by how cool I think they are.

>Norin the Wary
>Moraug, Fury of Akoum
>Rionya, Fire Dancer
>Zada, Hedron Grinder
>Slicer, Hired Muscle
>Feldon of the Third Path
>Daretti, Scrap Savant
>Krenko, Mob Boss

As far as how cool the color combinations are, I like this order:
Izzet > Boros >> Rakdos >> Gruul

Does this work as I think it should?
>>
>>93953824
Red IS the most complex of the mono colors. That's not exactly saying much though. Green and Black are devoid of thought, and Blue and White only have a couple flavors.
>>
>>93953836
No
>>
>>93953862
Why not?
>>
>>93953856
None of the mono colours are complex and red is no different

>>93953836
You commit a crime as you cast a spell, activate an ability, or put a triggered ability on the stack that targets an opponent, a permanent controlled by an opponent, a spell or ability controlled by an opponent, or a card in graveyard controlled by an opponent.

The Lord of Pain is a triggered ability that causes you to target a player. If you target an opponent with it, you have committed a crime. Because you have committed a crime, Gisa, the Hellraiser will trigger.
>>
>>93953884
So it does work as I think it should. Thanks.
Using choose and target in the same sentence is bullshit.
>>
>>93953814
>favorite decks across mono?
Hard to say with favorite, as I usually don't stick to one deck for long. For what I am currently experimenting with:
>White = Astrid Peth (second sun deck with endless horizons. Aka mono white thoracle)
>Blue = Eluge, the Shoreless Sea (tempo deck that tries to win through commander damage.)
>Black = Sidisi, Undead Vizier (doomsday deck that uses the new Doomsday Excrucitator combined with Lich's Mirror and Dark Deal)
>Red = Dragon's Approach (bouncing between Ashling Flame Dancer and Solphim Mayhem Dominus for commander at the moment.)
Currently no colorless decks as none of the current commanders seem interesting to me.
>Green = Multani, Maro Sorcerer (emphasis on fast ramp and trample. Goal = haymaker people out asap)
>>
>>93953898
For future inquiries, it might be helpful to state how you expect the interaction to work. I wasn't sure how you thought it worked, so I had to detail every thing. Most anons here legitimately do not know the rules of the game, so clearing up any ambiguity at the start of asking will help filter out a lot of people who don't know. I'm glad your synergy works how you wanted it to.

And yes, the fact that they have been using the word "choose" more often nowadays is extremely frustrating because "choose" is not "target" which means cards that logically would cause things to trigger may not depending on if they arbitrarily wrote "choose" or "target" even though they are interchangeable logically in most cases. "Choose" and "Target" in the same sentence on the same card is egregiously bad.
>>
>>93953819
>Izzet offers the most variety of any color combination
Which spellslinger commander with a side of card draw do you run?
>>
>>93953937
NTA, but offering variety does not mean players are going to take it. This is one of the top Izzet commanders and there literally is not another token shapeshift commander at all.
>>
>>93953616
Both seem like cool decks anon, you should build them.

>talking shit about monocolour
Low game skill detected. Monocolour has various strengths and weaknesses that cant be accounted for by slapping in an extra colour that already has the tools. Not only that, but you're limited in staples for basic game function. Monocolour is easy in the sense that you dont really need to worry about fixing or devotion, but at a cost. Any deck can be reduced to a single sentence like that, but building a good monocolour deck will teach you strong fundamentals and be a generally more flavorful experience.
>>
>>93954318
It's almost as if limitation breeds creativity...
>>
>>93954337
Yes. I am a massive practical special effects fan, and you can have the biggest budget with the fanciest cgi, but it'll never look as good as something done simply shot with the limitations in mind. Same with magic, a crisp well executed monocolour deck is always better than a 3-5c abomination.

Do any rulesfags know why Lord of Pain's ability isn't worded like

Instead of the janky choose wording?
>>
>>93954536
Yeah I would be surprised if Ancient Cellarspawn wasn't seeing play in Rakdos decks, as even outside of the infinite with ancestral statue, being able to chunk people for 7+ life loss per cast is appealing.
>>
>>93954464
The partner pirates, particularly Malcolm, are extremely strong. If you have any synergy with them beyond "play pirate and attack" it's possible they'll overwhelm your play group in value.
>>
>>93954587
Any number of reasons. The most likely reason is that they don't have time to proofread or play test anything.
>>
>>93954625
That, but also the card designer who made that probably hadn't fully settled on that triggered ability. As that wording can come from a chaotic development process.
>>
>>93953616
Gale and Scion of Halastar is pretty well known to be strong as fuck. Haven't seen that Gruul combo before, but it seems really strong too. Backgrounds are pretty underrated to be honest. I play Abdel Adrian with Candlekeep Sage and nobody really expects the value it makes.
>>
>>93954615
They're all kind of the same deck with some minor changes. Malcolm and Breeches turned into an infinite combo after setting up a way to make a pirate ping people, but it could also just play value by playing cards from their decks. Malcolm and Francisco turned into an infinite combo with Time Sieve and had a lot of value in general from Francisco and the black cards. Breeches and Francisco felt the most fair, but it would still absolutely grind with value and could set up some combos too.

If anything it’s more retarded.
I can buy that someone’s brain chemistry is fucked up enough to be confused about their sex- all babies are anatomically neither male nor female for the first few months in the womb. They rely on their genes to trigger the production of the correct sex hormone, and it doesn’t always happen correctly.
The problem is how do you know the real ones from the fakers? You don’t, that’s why thousands of people are claiming to be trans because they’re unhappy with their lives and think being someone else will help. And to an extent it does, because we live in a culture that celebrates and defends even the most obese stubbly low effort troons. I’m sure that fat autists who no one ever looked twice at feel pretty good about being the center of attention, all the better if they can work it into a victim narrative. People fucking love to feel persecuted, just look at Christians or Münchausen Karens.

Non-binaries are the later form. They just want attention, something a bit special, a bit different. A foot in the door of the LGBT community without really having to do anything. The fibromyalgia of the oppression olympics.
>>
>>93954977
