Why don't you? Directing the rants about Aragorn or that one duskmourn cheerleader to their twitter accounts or something would probably be more effective at influencing a faceless multinational corporation than putting them here (a place hasbro suits are certainly not reading) among people who would probably be more inclined to share your beliefs if you weren't so insufferable about forcing them.

Played a lot of BG3 and am now just starting to step foot into MTG in general. I'm just starting my first real EDH deck and when I saw Minthara I knew that she should be the commander I build around.

Does anyone have any cheapish Minthara decks they can recommend for someone just getting into the game? I'm not looking to be uber competitive since it's just a couple of casual friends that I'm playing with.

Worth noting that experience counters are given to the player, not the creature, meaning that generating them from multiple effects applies the bonus from all relevant cards.

Cards to add:
>Proliferate
Whisper of the Dross
Unbounded Potential
Proud Pack-Rhino
Norn's Choirmaster
Drown in Ichor
Metastatic Evangel
Staff of Compleation
Contagion Clasp

>Flicker effects
Ephemerate
Flickerwisp
Cloudshift


>Non-Minthara flicker targets
Spirited Companion
Solemn Simulacrum
Circuit Mender

>Go-wide enablers
Jacked Rabbit
Nested Shambler
Elenda, the Dusk Rose

>General idea
Flicker Minthara repeatedly to build up experience counters, using Proliferate effects to add even more experience counters. Once you have 3-5 counters, most tables can't kill her outside of board wipes that don't target. Then you just build up a large board of tokens and kill everyone

Didn't know this card, it's kind of neat. Generates five bodies to sacrifice for a single card, one mana per body. Not bad for aristocrats decks
>>
>>94186558
Minathra should be your LAST target for flickering. I also think that conjurers closet would work as a budget, repeatable flicker option since it also triggers at beginning of end step and you can choose which trigger to resolve first.

I have decided to remove all forms of ramp from my decks.

Go faster + protection. My krenko deck has like an 80% winrate. Helps that his ability seems like nothing until I still a Stoneforge Masterwork on him and he's swinging for 30 and making 15 more blockers.
>>
>>94186634
If you had no permanents leave the battlefield that turn before the Conjurer's Closet trigger, Minthara won't trigger. CC and Teleportation Circle are still both good, repeatable flicker effects, but they will not give you experience counters.

>>94186538
Okay, you can prove me wrong by protecting your 1 mana 6/6 and killing the table in 21 turns.
>>
>>94186714
>killing the table in 21 turns
I don't need to kill the entire table with one card. I just need to do pressure on the right opponent. If i'm forcing someone to spend a removal after taking 12-18 damage to the face for 1 mana, that's already good enough.
>>
>>94186713
Why? A 2-mana 8/8 flying that can get fatter seems pretty good.
>>
>>94185748
Going to build him as stax. How do i break parity with him? Hes good at killing mana dorks when opponents are recovering from a wipe and accelerating, how else could i do so after casting stuff like obliterate and devastation?
>>
>>94186493
Okay, I'm not 100% on this because I'm not very familiar with the gameplan, but let me try and grok it.

Uvilda comes in turn 3. If you can haste her, she exiles that turn and on turn 6 your sorcery or instant comes online, otherwise she starts turn 4 and goes off turn 7. Each turn after that you can have another spell queued up and ready to cast from exile. With their costs reduced by 4, you're arguably going to be only playing their colored costs, with that in mind:

- You need haste sources. Things like cunning coyote that you can plot the previous turn, or any other non-mana haste granter that costs less than 3 is ideal. Otherwise you need a little ramp.
- You need board presence before she comes online: You're going to be playing some cheap control or putting out some chump blockers. Control route might be okay, but redundant haste-granting dweebs might give you some cheaper board presence.
- You want some plot cards: Even with all the mana you're saving with her exiles, we don't want big turns, we want huge turns. Fblthp, Lost on the Range opens you up to plotting anything you like, as does Jace Reawakened.
- You want to run Paradox Haze and The Ninth Doctor for additional upkeeps. If you have both down, you start getting your honed spells the next turn. So far as I can tell this is your only way to accelerate Honed spells other than extra full turns.
- You want... well, the sorceries and instants you're gonna be honing.

A sample (idealized) opening might go like this:
Turn 1: Mountain, Sol Ring
Turn 2: Island, Uvilda, Haste source instant or sorcery for 1, Tap Uvilda exiling ???

A more realistic but still fast opening might be:
Turn 1: Mountain, Bloodlust Inciter
Turn 2: Island, Plot Cunning Coyote or Highway Robbery
Turn 3: Land, Uvilda, Haste Uvilda, Tap Uvilda exiling ???

As for the rest, you're on your own. I have no idea where to go with it.

>I have no idea where to go with it
I'm thinking she needs untap effects that way you compound the benefit of her ability. If you could use her ability even twice in a turn three turns later you'll get 8 extra manas worth of value
>>
>>94186752
That's another good idea. In any case you wanna be fidgeting her as early and often as possible. Run big X spells but remember that you're telegraphing hard when these are coming down. Expect to have to play through counters and protection. That being said, you're going to be untapped fully when these go off, so any soft counterspells you're going to be able to blow off like a parking ticket. Another good option are spells that will copy your spells.

It's good to remember that while protecting Uvilda is necessary to exile your spells, they'll go off no matter where she's at, and at 3 cmc she's not going to be impossible to recast.
>>
>>94186731

>>94186825
Cirrect. It's a very open card. Not much guidance. Izzet goodstuff, usually.
>>
>>94185997
Right, but it doesn't just immediately win the game. It's not an infinite combo piece. It's not a part of any T4 strat, so yeah, T3. T4 is comp. At best it's a blocker/removal target to stall the game out a bit. In lower tiers it wrecks house cause removal is sparse and turn 2/3 wins don't happen. In T4 you creature is a beater and can be completely ignired cause it won't do anything to get in the way of or further a wincon.

Leovold for degeneracy, panoptic cause it's a 1 card infinite turn combo, Erayo since it's just genuinely awful to play against and banned as a commander ain't a thing anymore, and Golos because it just genuinely a large swathe of commanders obsolete. Recurring nightmares shold definitely be in the could unban tier since grave hate is so fuckin' easy to come by nowadays that the difficulty destroying it ain't much of a problem. For the record when it was banned I think the only real graveyard nukes were Tormod's crypt and that was about it.
>>94187065
Limited resources is a card that just flat out should not exist outside of a 1v1 format. it doesn't scale properly and can easily just randomly shut one player out of the game entirely for a single white mana. It ain't the strongest card on the banlist for sure, but it's just flat out not a good time to play against or around.
>>
>>94187105
we get it you have shit taste in decks
>>
>>94187046
>Unban Flash
These people have played the game before, right?
>>
>>94187014
>>94187084
I should say, I also don't want artifact theme, wheel theme, tribal theme, or exile theme, as I already have a couple decks for each of those.
>>
>>94187140
Evidently not since they think leovold and golos are anywhere but "Keep this nigga banned at all costs" tier. They legitimately might not have started playing until like this year or last year.
>>
>>94187149
Both a very much rule 0 okay, but should remain banned.
>>
>>94186825
>indestructible
Symmetrical destroy wipes leave Keranos. You can very easily toss in a handful of red "all creatures take damage" spells to shit on the board
>sometimes isn't a creature
Mass creature bounce or exile will sometimes ignore Keranos
>cares about top of library
Sensei's Top, tutor-to-top, Scroll Rack, Future Sight, Lantern of Insight, sell mill. These are all tools that can guarantee which trigger you get
>draw a card
Always strong
>bolt a creature or player
Controls the board. Damage lasts until end of turn so you can bolt something and follow up with more burn spells to finish higher toughness creatures.
>how do I win
6/5 indestructible commander that clears blockers can kill with 4 swings and has built in protection for voltron
Card draw engine helps power through your deck to assemble combos
Group slug builds are aided by extra draw and extra damage
Meme decks can use cards like Helm of the Host or other legendary copy effects to generate one shit ton of lightning bolts
Decks that want to win off the Keranos triggers can use damage multipliers like Furnace of Rath to make those lightning bolts very painful very fast
If you want to make your opponents very sad the Keranos trigger is lethal in games that go real long, such as stax or lock out builds.
>>
>>94187161
Also scrying and surveiling (obviously) for top of library shit. There's also a couple cards like brainstorm that let you fix what the top of your library is.
>>
>>94187046
I think Upheaval could get the Worldfire treatment in a few years since phasing and nonblue counters have become more of a thing.

It's not quite there yet, but I feel like WotC will print anti-bounce and anti-phasing tech to keep selling cardboard. When a critical mass of this stuff exists, it will be easy to play around.
>>
>>94187121
I'd never unban nightmares since it's only 3 mana and repeatable
the problem is not that there was less grave hate then. it's that you will not always have it and at that low of a cost it comes down pretty early before people have even drawn many cards and it has to be instant speed. if you plop down a spellbomb or whatever in time then you have to pray it doesn't get removed since you telegraphed it
sure there are other reanimation tricks that are also good/fast and can win the game on the spot but unbanning more is not the solution
>>
>buy some bulk
>find a legends print picrel in the box

b-but muh deck diversity!! golos is just better than my current commander so I should just run him!
>>
>>94187190
>Phasing
Yes
>Nonblue counters
Uh... Not really?
There's also a critical difference between worldfire and Upheaval. Worldfire progresses the game state, Upheaval strictly regresses it. Yeah, both of them wipe the slate clean, but worldfire puts everyone into sudden death mode and that can be used to turn it into a wincon VERY easily. Upheaval just.. puts everything back into its owner's hand. Life totals are the same and outside of phasing (which is still pretty rare) there's not much to dodge it. The only way it puts any player at an advantage is if they had a reliquary tower so instead of discarding most of their boardstate, they just have to slowly build it back up.
>>
>>94187190
I thought that's why sway of the stars was there
>>
>>94187121
Graveyard nukes that aren't instant speed are practically useless against recurring nightmare. And even if they are, you just fill the graveyard back up and play it again.
>>
>>94187203
"I won't always have an answer to a problem" is not a valid argument as to why something is too powerful. You also don't seem to understand why grave hate fucks it over. Even at sorcery speed, grave hate still fucks it over since it removes the option for them to actually bring shit back. Even if they try to kill your spellbomb or relic or whatever you can still get a good amount of their yard out of the equation. Plus, nowadays there's MULTIPLE ways to just say "No" to the concept of graveyards existing. Yeah, they can get recurring nightmares online turn three. Rest in peace comes out a turn earlier. So does Dauthi voidwalker. And leyline of the void can come out two turns earlier than that. All of them prevent 'yards from even existing.
>>
>>94187147
>>94187084
Then you're an idiot. Don't request non-combo commanders and then go "XD BUT NOT THAT" fucking smart ass. No, there is no whatever fucking weird niche you want
>Uh I want a deck but not with 99% of themes or deck types
Maybe just don't make a new deck
>>
>>94187149
Most commander players are retarded and don't understand what makes a card busted. Most of the banlist is good with only a couple of cards that have an argument for unbanning.
>>
>>94187046
>Keep Lutri banned
No, Unban the fucker and just make an exception. Stop acting like you can't.

>keep griselbrand, the merfolk, nadu, trade secrets etc banned but unban shit like prime time, primordial, blinkable MLD and a commander that makes mono color auto scoop
These niggas dumb as hell
>>
>>94187236
What if rest in peace, dauthi voidwalker, leyline of the void or grafdigger's cage is busy existing on the battlefield? Those aren't particularly uncommon cards to see, and Cage is fucking colorless alongside relic (Which is instant speed grave hate) so it's not like being able to deal with this is exclusive to any color in particular. Similarly, Graveyard horseshit is so prevalent nowadays that you basically HAVE to have some way of being able to burn someone's yard in your deck in order to be competitive
>>
>Format is already cancer to the point that it's been divided into cedh and regular edh.
>I know, we can make the format better by unbanning more cancer cards!
You know, I think we should ban more cards. Get rid of fucking fast mana, tutors, and cheap combos.
>>
>>94187046
Chaos orb doesn't need to be on the list because it is defacto banned in all formats under the whole "physical abilities" rules. No need to tell me a card requiring physical activity is banned when they are all banned automatically in all formats. Might as well put un-cards on the ban lists.
>>
>>94187279
Manual dexterity, ante and Sherezade are banned in all formats (Except kitchen table). So there's no need for them to be in consideration to be unbanned.
>>
>>94187244
>is not a valid argument
in my opinion it is when the threat is this low mana cost and repeatable
>you can still get a good amount of their yard out of the equation
as a graveyard player myself. getting nuked once or twice is not that backbreaking because I don't overextend. usually just get one or two scary things in there to bait out exile effects anyway. sure I might not always have the backup but that's the playpattern
>Even at sorcery speed
it's already too late most of the time
>Rest in peace, leyline of the void
you CAN play these yes, if you feel like the meta is grave heavy. but other than that these are dead cards and I wouldn't just jam them in if my deck didn't synergise with them. say, an enchantment deck. Dauthi voidwalker is a good example tho. that card goes to many decks and can be there just because it has a good effect. same with scavenging ooze, hearse and the new vacuum
so yeah. there are new ways to fuck up yards and it's going in better direction BUT it's not incidental enough to let graveyards run free. it's the same reason why people hate treasures. they are plentiful but the treasure hate cards are not plentiful enought to run in every which deck
I was a bit hasty to say "I'd never unban" tho I give you that
>>
>>94187260
their reasoning for iona and braids was that you can always decline to play against those decks when you see them on the table. same didn't apply to leovold and golos for some reason tho
>>
>>94187319
So their logic is that they don't have logic.
Good to know.
But we already knew they were mentally deficient when they posted the list and didn't even include the entire commander banlist and included shit on the VINTAGE banlist
>>
>>94187319
>their reasoning for iona and braids was that you can always decline to play against those decks when you see them on the table.
This is true for every fucking commander. So yeah that is a nonsense excuse.

I also do not see much reason why Nadu is "OMG NEVER UNBAN BUT GO AHEAD AND UNBAN LEOVOLD." I adamantly believe Nadu gets all this shit solely because of modern. He was never a problem or even a major deck in commander. The fact no one cared is a testament to the fact no one fucking played him anyway.
>>
>>94187334
He should be on the banlist since his existence is a mistake.
There's a few cards like that. Like most of Ikora.
>>
>>94187261
>Those aren't particularly uncommon cards to see
Dauthi is the only one I even expect to see. Maybe if my meta(s) had more graveyard, I'd see the others more es well. But I never see them outside of enchantment decks.
>>
>>94187342
I agree with this if they banned other mistakes like Roaming Throne.

WOTC is very aware that stores need them. Wotc doesn't need the stores. If they cared about stores then you'd never have had shit like SLDs and things like stores getting a whole one 30th anniversary pack, and all others being direct from WOTC.
If WOTC cared about shops then they wouldn't make a massive set and then refuse to ever allow shops to sell it.

The real reason is that highlander is intended to be a high variance format and sol ring is a good facilitator of variance. If players optimize the variance out of edh that's their problem and are unironically playing the format wrong which is not the RCs problem.

Like I'm picking up a power artifact seperate from this whole schtick, but a foil grim monolith, a guru land, or a timetwister is out of my budget.

You do what she wants for her stuff, and make the decisions elsewhere. It's a tightrope. If you fuck up, for instance, the ring she will be salty about it FOREVER.

Nah she wants something nice thats rose gold. She wants to show it to her friends so they get jealous and to take pictures to brag online. What she doesnt want is overcomplicated fiddley nonsense that she thinks she wants after getting decision paralysis looking at 2000 rings online, like celtic knots and leaves or whatever. Normal woman stuff, I'm a pro at this point, I know what she wants and have been shopping for over a year.

>>94188508
Bruh the ring and my cardboard are worthless once purchased because I'm never selling either of them in the first place. There is no gamble here.

>>94188495
Oh we're going to do that too. I want to go to germany next year for oktoberfest, and she wants to go to mexico next year once we put some money down on the house. Pretty sure wedding bands are just basic rings that you wear with the engagement ring, but correct me if I'm wrong. I asked my family and whatnot.

I've never heard of this before but the mores regarding wedding rings vary wildly with culture.
You'd be better off asking her family than your family since her views on the matter are going to be shaped by them.

This is the ring I gave to my fiancé. It has a laurel pattern although might be a little hard to see with this pic quality. I just asked the jeweler about filigree and he showed me some examples of what he could do to a band and told me the options, and then I settled on a laurel pattern. If you buy it off the shelf it might be harder to find something that fits your vision though. Are you planning on having it made from scratch?

Good job anon, I wasnt planning on having it made from scratch, but I dont really know what I'm doing or how long that would take. I just need to see it in person so that I can get a good grasp of what I'm getting. The ring I posted is lab grown from a large retailer in my country (leafland) and comes with good insurance.

I mean there are for sure such women but if you ended with such one in the first place, you definitely are a doormat. For mine I just gave her a 100 buck silver ring with zirconia stone and she was happy just as much as she would be with a 1k ring.

Hate it, I dislike vehicles already and some wacky races death race sounds like a Thunder Junction tier idea doomed to have Thunder Junction tier execution.

Tarkir's pretty great, shame about the dragons though. The Jeskai were mentioned in MH3 so hopefully we'll see a Khan/traditionalist rebellion of the three color wedges against their shitty dragon overlords.
>return to Lorwyn
I'm afraid they'll add humans. Kithkin, elves, and Faeries are confirmed but I haven't seen elementals or scarecrows confirmed and the Kamigawa Neon Dynasty comparison doesn't make me hopeful. Kamigawa had great flavor because it was such an alien world but Neon Dynasty made it too contemporary/popculture. I did like the lore about Boseiju, the tree refusing to bend or break and growing to to eclipse the skyscrappers around it, no idea what was going on in the story but I would've liked to see a cyberpunk versus classic kamigawa conflict
>return to Strixhaven
Lorehold is nice, Silverquill is okay, but Witherbloom, Prismari, and Quandrix feel too much like their Ravnican counterparts. I think a monk/religion/natural philosopher type bent would've been better for an alternate take on U/G. The pests/token focus and Blex are pretty nice from Witherbloom and Dina is cute but they have some odd cards Woe-Eater and they still have zombies and druids when I think they shouldn't have either. Although I have no idea what sort of flavor would have fit for an alternate BR, you'd probably have to start from the mechanical ends being different take of BR then build the flavor from there.
Overall Strixhaven is meh, too popculture, not a fan of fantasy school setting, and it has missed potential. But I don't hate it, overall I think each of the schools needed more time devoted but that's a complaint I also have for Bloomburrow, Duskmourn, and March of the Machines.

Execution is always separate from concept. Not that I have high expectations of WOTC to execute anything correctly, its just important to realize that something can be dumb but executed brilliantly
>>
>>94189069
Any thoughts how they can make vehicles actually interesting? Ive never ran into a single one played at various LGS, and people here seem to dislike them too, but they hate everything so that only goes so far. More Animate Artifact type effects?
>>
>>94189130
Vehicles are already interesting: they're good for tapping creatures and a lot of opponents are hesitant to block them because they're usually overstat and killing one doesn't generally disfigure one's board state. If you think they're boring you should build picrel as Vehicles.dec
>>
>>94189142
Fair enough. Since you have experience with em, what would you like to see as the new play mechanic in the Deathrace set for vehicles?
>>
>>94188398
in my experience most people just laugh and think invoke prejudice is a funny card i also doubt many people even know its banned
>>
>>94189162
Accelerate X - Pay X mana as an additional cost. If you do, reveal cards off the top of your library until you reveal X land cards. Put one onto the battlefield tapped and the rest into your hand, and put a haste counter on this vehicle.

Pileup - When this artifact becomes tapped, if it isn't a creature, you may sacrifice it. If you do, deal damage to target artifact equal to its mana value.

That's why I separated Thunder Junction into idea and execution. But honestly I was being too harsh on Thunder Junction, a western themed set isn't that bad of an idea but it had terrible execution, those stupid wand swords things are also silly looking, just give them guns. Wizards was already moving away from classic fantasy by doing a Western set and there's no reason to just make them generic flintlock/blackpower/whatever type guns when you add in magic.
Vehicles is more of a gut response, Kaldesh block was when I came back to magic after a break and it left a terrible impression, I did like the mechs from KND but they could have been done better by having something like Kaiju Spirits to fight against. They just felt like they were there and didn't add much on the whole but I'm sure they could be done well.

>>94189142
>>94189214
Pretty interesting recommendation and ideas. I might trying building it, maybe it'll make me like vehicles more.

>>94185829
Me too Anon, but honestly I think it's a shame it came in the form of the crossover. I just wished we got normal non-ip versions of the crossover cards. It would've made me dislike universes beyond less if they came as just themed alt arts, like if the Hobbit/LoTR came out at the same time as return to Lowryn they could've just reskinned Kithin both new and old.
That said I do like some of the unquie card we have gotten, shame about the crossover though.
>>
It would be nice if they actually reprinted all the banned for racism cards as completely new cards so we could get their abilities back. I actually want to play invoke prejudice just because i love tax abilities
>>
>>94189504
Then just play it bro. Only absolute troglodytes are going to have an issue with it.
>>
>>94189534
nta but if I start playing banned cards so will my opponents and I'm not willing to play against all that shit
>>
>>94185762
It\s extremely good at making other players hate your guts since turn -1. Just saying that you play this fucker will make you enemy number one.
Slap any good taxes, counters, drawing cards etc into your deck, don't think about strategy just make sure that every card will make your opponents' lives harder. Smothering Tithe and Rhystic Study are two most obvious must play cards.
>>
>>94189589
It's not banned for legitimate gameplay reasons though. The reasoning is literally "muh raycism".

our group has this "no house rules" mentality because it opens a can of worms for everyone to start adding stupid shit which will eventually be too complicated to keep track of. for example this one guy has been pestering us for a while to change rules on cards and whatnot and we decline every time so it would be a rules for thee and not for me situation

>Stone throwing devils being banned is dumb since no one thought that way until they banned it.
Reminds me of a few years back the paint company I work for changed a bunch of color names to be “more culturally appropriate.” So they changed any color with the word Colonial (Colonial White, Colonial Blue) to something more generic. They changed the names of anything with a race or culture like Navajo Red, Indian Muslin, China White. But then they also changed a shade of brown called “Monkey Madness” which was the funniest thing they could have done by even calling attention to it.

Yep, wotc saw that players split EDH into 2 formats and instead of supporting those 2 or merging them into 1, they decided to make another 2 to sell more cards. You can clearly tell they don't know wtf they're doing. The banlist is now going to be managed by sales and people bitching on twitter.

Absolutely insane, at least she doesn't have haste but that statline is too way too big for that effect, size her down to a 3/3 and at least she dies to bolt. But I can easily see this storming off of a cascade or ramp spell and vomiting your entire deck onto the board in short order.
